JFC. Israel initiate a war and David Lammy so far as literally only expressed concerns on X for civilians killed in Israel - not Iran. It's despicable that a UK Foreign Secretary lacks the humanity to express sympathy for the victims of an Israeli aggression.

Reeves is thinking about cutting disability benefits but the UK still has money to send military assets to defend Israel - Israel, who are starting wars and committing war crimes. Seems like a solid use of taxpayer money no Keir Starmer? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

You can't understand the behaviour of US elites - Democrats being too timid, Republicans debasing themselves, bureaucrats who behave like pushovers - without reference to the constant threat of political violence that has come with MAGA. Every day is January 6. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Israel has a right to defend itself. Iran has a right to be attacked. This is the message we are being told by many European leaders, especially this shower of cretins at the German Embassy

a significant problem that we are discovering: when you are temporarily very wealthy because the market is overvaluing something you own a lot of, the play is to immediately buy something different with it, and one of the things you can buy turns out to be our government

Wild story: a quality manager who warned about the shoddy construction of Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes was particularly concerned about the ones sent to Air India in 2014. That's when the Air India jet that crashed today was sent. prospect.org/economy/2025...

The attacks on the civilian population of LA are becoming more violent and more overtly authoritarian, and brutal. These are the tactics of a paramilitary terror force nothing else. These are rightwing death squads in the making. America is under attack by fascist governmental forces

Dozens of people are shot dead every day in "Gaza Humanitarian Fund" aid distribution centres. People desperate to feed their families, shot dead in the chaos and panic that inevitably surrounds these sites. Israel has created a real version of "the hunger games". 1/

Another example of why traditional media (which adheres to long-standing journalistic standards) cannot compete w/ the right wing media sphere, which plays by completely different rules. It's a completely asymmetric playing field. The left can't compete by relying on traditional media for messaging.

This is, hands down, one of the most idiotic and patently hateful decisions I have ever seen. Why would fishing even be sex segregated? Gender "critical" ideology is causing people to loose all capacity for critical and rational thought.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

AI doomers and AI zoomers are two sides of the same coin, powered by a quasi-supernatural belief that God is coming to the machine. The reality is more mundane: that semi-functional AIs will thoroughly undermine the existing social order through myriad systems of abuse.
