This month, a team endorsed by Guillermo del Toro released Mexico's first stop-motion feature. It's 2 hours of pure imagination. The film is called I Am Frankelda, and we've taken a deep look into how it came to be: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-film-a...

My favorite #Wisconsin #NoKings sign/flag from today. #wipolitics

Contrary to media reports after the 2025 local elections, there was no Reform UK landslide, just an outdated voting system that needs reforming.

@zackpolanski.bsky.social thinks Greens can offer a left-wing populist alternative to Farage’s party & a natural home for progressive voters The biggest job we have is to make sure Starmer is more scared of losing votes & seats to #GreenParty than Reform #BackZack www.bigissue.com/news/politic...

Schrödinger's parade - the crowd was both sparse and dense.

Today’s Cat Parade is going to be 🔥

Happy birthday, Schengen Agreement!

solid advice and wisdom from John Stewart #Resist #NoKings #Impeach47 #ImpeachNoem

Only 90s kids will remember this: a precedented event

…human, I’m bored!!!

Thursday, June 13, 1985: Rotterdam, Holland, Stadion Feynoord, newspaper article(A recovering Catholic from the USA with both a social conscience and a Dutch surname did a good deed, as Bruce donated $20,000 of his own money for helping the Dutch homeless 🇺🇸🧑🏻‍🦱✝️⛪️🙏🇳🇱💰)

Interestingly tomorrow, Saturday 14th of June, is the King's official Birthday in the UK. I don't think there will be tanks...

I don’t think Kemi Badenoch accepts the premise of being interviewed.

Boom - the way to prosperity and growth for the UK, is via the EU

A religion that requires the strong-arm of the state to ram its views down the throats of unwilling people is a religion that isn't worth a damn.

Westminster will never wear it. Wales (voted pro Brexit) England (pro Brexit) N.I. (Pro E.U.) and Gibraltar (Pro E.U.) and got what they voted for. Westminster democracy stops there. They ignored 56 of 59 MPs being SNP in 2015. They ignored 62% of Scotland's voters, pro E.U. in 2016 😥

Tonight's Strawberry Moon, and yes, this is the color that came out of the camera (the actual moon was slightly less vibrant)

🌻 Greta Thunberg being released... the internetWorld is gunna explode on this one c'mon lets make this interview statement Famous!!

Reform-run Lincolnshire council have just elected the previous *Lib Dem* chair of local West Lindsey District Council to Chair the County Council. Local source says the fact he's a Lib Dem "shows the lack of faith they have in their own new intake of county cllrs to be able to conduct a meeting"...

Not only “NO”, but I want their directors and the directors of related party lenders made liable personally.

I read for escapism and the fact of the matter is every day that passes in America makes dystopias seem more like non-fiction. #booksky #left

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Boris Johnson chose 8 out of the 12 board members at the BBC, and they make decisions on a simple majority of 7. That is why the BBC is such a complete bag of 💩 Fire them all, NOW.

This is fucking insane. The BBC is adjusting output to “win back” Reform voters while ex-Tory spin doctor, Gibb, sits on its board. That’s not public service or impartiality - it’s interference. Bending over for Farage puts the BBC in the gutter with the Daily Mail. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

Q: Do you have a message for Greta Thunberg and did she come up on your call with Netanyahu? TRUMP: She's a strange person. She's a young, angry person ... I think she has to go to an anger management class

Well I think this is official confirmation that Bluesky has the Juice

The Labour and independent MPs on this list of 45 supporting Corbyn's Gaza Inquiry Bill, are basically the nucleus of what should become a Left Alternative Party within the current Parliament.

Very good piece on Tommy Robinson vs Hawksmoor

Piers Morgan called Greta Thunberg a self obsessed narcissist. Has he looked in the mirror recently? There really is a massive one there.

Let’s talk about Stephen Miller, shall we, because if a botched exorcism learned to say “anchor baby” before it learned empathy, you’d have Stephen Miller. 👇 open.substack.com/pub/jojofrom...

Can't get to space can they though? Not in less than a billion pieces.

Viktor Kravchuk We launched one of the biggest operations deep into Russia. ... But tell me, did you see a single image of a bombed apartment? A Russian mother screaming in the dust? A Russian child buried in bricks? No. Because we don’t hit civilians. We fight to live, not to destroy.

Is the BBC giving too much airtime to Reform UK? With me in the studio to discuss this are Nigel Farage, Richard Tice, Lee Anderson and Sarah Pochin.

BBC NEWS “In the last few hours Russia has begun targeting major British cities with an army of nuclear drones, but we’re interrupting coverage of the attack because Nigel Farage has just farted after eating an enormous ploughman’s lunch.”

Unlike blind faith that America is exceptional and everything will work out in the end, hope is when you take an active part in the thing that carries out the theory that it will actually get better. Action demands hope, but hope requires action. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/o...

Independent journalism is when you can write what Terry Moran wrote without getting in trouble. Corporate journalism is when you can’t. It’s why many left the latter for the former. I understand the rationale behind corp journalism rules, I’m just glad they don’t apply to me
