It's not even been a full 6 months of Trump's second term & the National Guard has already been deployed and is cheerfully attacking American citizens. This has the potential to be a dangerous summer for America.

Capitalism has conflated a universal education with vocational training, resulting in consumers graduating with minds no more open than when they entered.

“The bypass … allows the companies to pass cookies or other identifiers from Firefox and Chromium-based browsers to native Android apps for Facebook, Instagram, and various Yandex apps. The companies can then tie that vast browsing history to the account holder logged into the app.”

One of the sad casualties of Brexit: community facilities and schemes that in part or wholly relied on EU funding. During my years as a local newspaper editor and as a Council Community Liaison Officer, I saw just how much it all depended on funding from the European Regional Development Fund.

This was always the plan. Reduce degrees to salary leverage and then start seeding the idea that vocational training is basically the same thing, and then people will buy the idea that forcing working/lower middle kids to have no choice about their educational opportunities is good, actually.

Andor Season 2, Episode 8. Trump isn't there yet, not completely, but his administration is close. They've created this situation; caused the protests; now they're cracking down on the protests THEY caused. It just needs some heartless soul high up the chain to give a "shoot" order...

Any MP with convictions should relish an interruption by a solitary protestor as a chance for discussion, for dialogue. A chance to explain WHY they're doing a thing. The fact that nearly ALL our MPs immediately summon security says so much about them.

🤔It’s interesting to see the lack of diversity in Darren’s audience, the lack of compassion in both Darren and his audience and the fact that Labour MPs seem to be able to summon bouncers and/or the police within seconds

Weird how the national equality body has been used as a weapon against both the anti-austerity movement and transgender people. Almost like the British state is weaponised against any attempt by members of the public to effect l change that weakens the hold of approved chaps! Whatever could it mean.

As with most statues, we learned more about what kind of man Edward Colston was from this than when it was standing in the middle of a roundabout.

Very good thread. Generally, reactionary complaints about “rewriting history” rely on a sleight of hand: that the version of history written by previous generations is somehow “neutral” or “apolitical”, but that versions written by this generation are “political” or even “woke”.

Just in case you (UK) are wondering who Morgan McSweeney is suggesting we hand over all our data & rights & £100m to (Palantir) for mandatory digital ID cards.

Behind closed doors, fossil fuel advocates are trashing carbon capture and storage. @desmog.com obtained audio of Bjorn Lomborg telling a private luncheon CCS is 'not going to happen.' Oil companies only support CCS to get 'a lot of subsidies,' he claimed. www.desmog.com/2025/06/05/c...

Sure, but the IDF shot the head off one of your colleagues three years ago then openly lied to you about it, and you did nothing. One of their snipers blew out the brains of a guy ITV were talking to, who was holding a white flag, the second the camera was switched off. And it was no big deal.

That this Netanyahu government strategy is designed to trigger a scenario where Egypt and eventually other Arab states, Turkey and the EU are forced to take in large numbers of expelled people from Gaza as part of a forced mass displacement policy has been visible for 18 months.

London boroughs have one officer for every 7,500 rental homes - leaving enforcement deserts “nothing will happen” if tenants complain about poor quality housing. Research by me for The Londoner: www.the-londoner.co.uk/why-is-londo...

The claims of what AI will be capable of grow ever more outlandish and remind me of the kind of marketing hype NFT shills were spouting right before their bubble burst, like "What if you could own Mario?" only now it's "the AI will build you a Breath of the Wild." It can't and it won't, Tim Swindle

#Israel has been like this all my life and I'm astounded that every country that supposedly values international law hasn't fully fucked off Israel decades ago. They belong in the same bin as Putin.

New — I wrote about the injustice unfolding before our eyes as rich reality stars are pardoned for their crimes while law-abiding immigrants are rounded up and caged by ICE, and the way communities are rising up to say fuck no.

Microsoft making $3bn off of a $94bn investment in AI. Entertainment companies continuing to hemorrhage billions with no profits on the horizon in their transition to streaming. The tech industry is bankrupt creatively, ethically, and financially.
