In case you missed it, yesterday Labour negotiated a comprehensive and workable free movement deal between Gibraltar and the EU. Yet they repeat until they turn hoarse the assertion that they will NEVER bring back Freedom of Movement for the rest of us. Brexit is Brexit. www.itv.com/news/2025-06...

I swear I am not making this up. Tonight Trump will go to the Kennedy Center to see “Les Miserables,” a play about a mass uprising against a tyrannical king. I hereby retire from satire.

So, YouTube, as a result of your algorithm brainwashing creators into borderline (and in many cases obvious) clickbait titles and thumbnails, we now need AI generated summaries while browsing to actually decide what to watch 🙄

Solidarity. Forever.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Liquid Glass = Fast Fashion We could be solving problems.

Worried about your credit downgrade, America? We've got a solution

one of the most insane normalized aspects of our political climate is politicians going after their own constituents in the name of anti-wokeness. what are we doing here

THERE YOU ALL ARE! For the past month or so, my Discover feed is basically 100% politics and news, and even my following is overwhelmed with the volume of it. Finally found all my tech follows posting the good stuff in Quiet Posters. I wish there was a "Discover but no news" feed.

apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"

Claims of human exceptionalism just keep on tumbling: understanding ourselves as human animals, that share nearly all our characteristics with other species, is crucial to a healthy future, escaping failed 20th-century thinking www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

It takes a long time to build a rocket... Except if it's a LEGO version! Less than 500 more supporters needed for this Ariane 6 rocket to be reach the 10 000 mark and then review: beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

Worth a watch! Same old story of Empire, Divide & Rule, and horror.

The first indication that space colonization is fiction is that they’re talking about turning an uninhabitable desert planet into a thriving biosphere while we’re turning our own thriving biosphere into an uninhabitable desert planet.

So cool!

Lowkey sad ChatGPT rolled back the glazing update. Was obviously a huge safety risk, but funny as hell.
