Might have to stay up late tonight...

This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.

Perfect

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

We put this out free. Take it or support it.

Nope. Not just mine I’m afraid.

Anyway, I’m bored of this now. We’re 2 grown men who should have better things to do. Nnight

……For being obnoxious.

You were given the verified source and yet you were still being rude? It appears that you were the protagonist in this. Have some humility, put your big boy pants on and apologise please.

Breakfast - 20/04/2026 The latest news, sport, business and weather from the BBC's Breakfast team.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

(h/t @iainsol.bsky.social)

This is appalling. The BBC is blatantly promoting Reform. I know they always do, but this is the election period.
I know nobody takes the local elections seriously, treating it like some super opinion poll on the Government.
But this is also covered by electoral law whether they like it or not.

I checked this too.

*20 seconds* of Reform logo display.

*No other* party logo displayed.

In local election purdah.

This is not normal. At all.

BBC admits 'mistake' in editing out laughter at Johnson in TV debate The broadcaster cut out laughter during leaders’ debate on Question Time in later news bulletin clip

I wrote this with GB News in mind. This is clear breach of the Broadcasting Guidelines. bsky.app/profile/toek...

Sack every Johnson appointment in the beeb

Here is a link to BBC complaints. I suggest as many people as possible complain about this www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

The room filling up for our Parliamentary event "Preventing Disinformation in UK Elections" with the @appgfairelections.bsky.social

A great turnout of MPs and a once in a generation opportunity to change the outdated rules for our elections with the Representation of the People Bill.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

This is how Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos avoids paying a personal income tax
- For the last 20 years he's had the same salary, $82,000

So was Angela Rayner.

Richard Tice, you must also resign, by your own standards.

Strongly recommend this excellent, well-researched piece by Sam Bright on Farage’s highly murky funding and networks. Farage is the grifter’s grifter.

"Farage seems to deeply dislike modern Britain – to the extent that he wants to remake it in the image of his favourite foreign autocracies."

How Elon Musk and the Tech Billionaires Hijacked the State and Our Minds

It’s not that these people still exist. That’s just biology. It’s that they are still being paid to shit in their own hands & start clapping.

When the government is trying to reverse the convictions of people who literally committed sedition yet seeking to arrest people for “rigging” an election that Trump’s own Attorney General and cybersecurity chief agreed he legitimately lost, you realize that we’re in the Upside Down
