If you're European, you now have a great and well-funded PDS in EU soil, governed by EU laws, run by awesome folks. Moving your account to Eurosky is easy, and you won't notice the difference afterwards. Please take a few minutes and do the jump 🇪🇺
I did not have "Allbirds rebrands as an AI company" on my bingo card.

Very sad news. Moya was *the* voice of one of my favourite shows, Robin of Sherwood as well as having a tremendous career with Clannad.

This is desperately sad news.
Moya Brennan, lead singer of Clannad, gone at 73.
I’m genuinely shocked by this.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.
holy shit he actually conceded
folks, they tell you they’re invincible
they tell you they’re inevitable
they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting
and absolutely none of that is true

This one is worth it.
First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important.

Sky News: "While Trump, the so-called leader of the free world, sits rage-posting on SM like a man screaming into a void, France, Japan, Philippines, & UK are quietly, methodically cutting deals with Iran. The world has moved on & US Mainstream Media is not covering a bit of this."
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois
Brutal.
23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23.
20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t.
They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.
"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.
A 'Dinosaur Smarties' Easter egg.
Erm, they're called palaeontologists, actually.
I cannot even fathom the elated high-fives at Nutella HQ right now.
I, for one, welcome our new hazelnut overlords.
Absolutely incredible Nutella ad.

Quick morning shout out to all the other freelancers who didn't even know it was the bank holiday, the whole concept having become utterly irrelevant to their lived experience.
It’s kinda hilarious how Trump killed April fool’s day. Everything is terrible. Every day a new horror. No one is in the mood and nobody is surprised by anything anymore.

🤗 INCREDIBLE: Civilians in Kuwait rush to help a US F-15E pilot in the desert who ejected in a friendly-fire incident. Kuwaiti air defenses, possibly US Patriots, mistakenly shot down three F-15E Strike Eagles.
The Kuwaiti man says "you’re safe... Thank you for helping us.”
