AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.

City firms bank on ‘savvy’ advertising campaign to push Brits towards investing The campaign, fronted by a CGI squirrel, is part of government initiative to boost financial risk taking, amid fears UK growth is being stymied

I've got to say they picked a really interesting time to tell individual investors they should be getting into riskier investments. Maybe not so savvy.

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

Chart showing the Senate race is a virtual dead heat.

The Economist published a new statistical forecast saying it's a virtual sure thing Dems take the house. More interesting is their Senate projection, which is an absolute dead heat.

It's so frustrating watching Israel commit war crime after war crime and then claim 'that little girl was a terrorist! That family were terrorists!' over and over and over. Anyone who supports the Israeli government at this point has no excuse.

Shabana Mahmood swears at hecklers over Reform UK comments Home secretary accuses protesters of trying to ‘delegitimise’ concerns people have over immigration

Shabana Mahmood says "you’re trying to put me in a box, which includes a lot of people who think I don’t even belong in my own country." Which is ironic, since her policies would seem to indicate SHE'S the one who thinks that.

I'm pretty sure they're planning to spend so much money that the ad basically seeps into everybody's brain. No need for nuance when you've got a billion dollars to just repeat nonsense over and over and over and over.

US spending on ‘reckless’ Iran war could have saved 87m lives, says UN Head of UN’s humanitarian agency frustrated that $2bn weekly cost of conflict comes amid big cuts to aid budgets

A former British diplomat took the gloves off when discussing how many people the US will allow to die to fund its pointless war in Iran. 87 million people is such an incomprehensibly huge number of lives to lose for no good reason.

Banned from the radio after Princess Diana died: how Levellers made What a Beautiful Day ‘Its release seemed timely as the Tories had just left office. But then Diana died and all cheerful songs were taken straight off the radio. Boom! It disappeared’

Can't count how often I've had this convo recently: "I’ve never lived through such dark times. When I talk to people my age, we’re like: “We weren’t prepared for this. We thought things would improve.” Not: “Oh my God, the world is run by Satan’s occult members.”

With developer verification, Google's Apple envy threatens to dismantle Android's open legacy Questions remain as Google prepares to lock down Android app distribution in the name of security.

If you're on bluesky, you probably think in general having a massive corporation control what we do is bad. That's why you should be concerned about Google's plan to take over Android completely. Any app, anytime, could just disappear.

I've discovered that @paramountplus.com is aggressively anti ad block, but their app doesn't tell you this, it just fails. Or maybe their app just fails - I can't tell. I use pihole to block at the router, and their app suddenly stopped showing me shows. I was going to cancel anyway, so no loss.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.
