You'll only drive it underground.
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.

At our first home league match as a fan-owned club, 256 fans came down to the "Stray Dog" pitch round the back of Wadham Lodge.
1712 at the @oldspotteddog.bsky.social is unreal.
Our club record home attendance of 1712.
From these streets, we built this club.
the use case for this is drone cops that can chase you where cars can't go, while the meat cops eat donuts and play it like a videogame
All of this tech is solely geared at producing soldiers without conscience and you will never convince me otherwise.
I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.
WE Pay for

Pakistan went from <5% to 25%+ solar in 4 years. Remarkable.
I was cited in Pakistan's Express Tribune on exactly this — but also on what the Hormuz crisis revealed: electricity resilience ≠ energy security.

So much of the Mandelson affair involves people making objectively insane decisions and thinking, well, this surely will not blow up in my face -- despite substantial precedent that, where Mandelson is concerned, it really will definitely blow up in your face.
Genuine question, does the UK government have a plan for what happens after AI takes over hundreds of thousands of jobs?
Love our free and open society 🙃
“If you criticise Palantir’s platform one more time, you are going to lose your job.”
Solidarity to all NHS workers opposing this toxic corporation. Shame on those bullying them. But they won’t stop us. We’re going to ditch Palantir.

¡Viva la República! 🔴🟡🟣
Today is the 95th anniversary of the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic.
We've been proudly wearing the colours on our away shirts since 2018 and now they're on a mural at our Old Spotted Dog Ground home.

Headline on Hollywood Reporter that reads ”Paddington 4, Escape From New York' Reboot in the Works”
I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…
Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.
In France, legislation came into effect recently for all car parks that have over 80 spaces to be covered with solar panels. Estimated to add around 11GW of renewable energy capacity to the national grid. Why not do likewise in Scotland? Braehead, Silverburn, Glasgow Fort etc.

The fact that three prime ministers in my lifetime are in the running for "worst in UK history" is a bemusing fact.
Hopefully we can avoid a fourth contender.
There was a really telling interview were Farage was pressed about his pre-election claims to bring down council-tax.
He gave an incredibly mealy-mouthed reply about it going up less than other councils.
Suddenly all the straight-talking, easy solutions had evaporated...
There are very rich people donating millions to Reform to make their candidates appear like competent people with real solutions to people's problems. It's a very slick, well-funded pipeline.
Reform call Kent council their shop window, losing this by-election is hugely significant.
Reform will pick up councils in May undoubtedly.
But once people get to experience a Reform-run council, like the people of Kent have had for the last year, the shine will wear off incredibly quickly.
Cliftonville (Kent) Council By-Election Result:
🌍 GRN: 38.8% (+26.7)
➡️ RFM: 33.1% (-7.0)
🌳 CON: 15.2% (-4.5)
🌹 LAB: 10.4% (-11.6)
🙋 Ind: 1.3% (New)
🔶 LDM: 1.2% (-1.9)
No Ind (-3.0) as previous.
Green GAIN from Reform UK.
Changes w/ 2025.

Yesterday Israel murdered another Palestinian journalist in Gaza
Jodie Ginsberg: ".. at least 260 journalists have been killed.. that makes Israel the biggest killer of journalists since @pressfreedom.bsky.social started documenting those deaths in 1992"
