Cld just be me, but lack of coverage of this trial such a contrast to that given to the brave Giselle Pelicot. Was it because no central "star", or because children? Genuinely don't know/ understand.

“Fascism becomes a serious political force when it taps into ‘a sense of overwhelming crisis beyond the reach of any traditional solutions’. In order not to arrive at that point, we could start by looking at what we stand to lose, and thinking about how we might preserve it.”

If it this was Westminster, one of the tabloids would be paying someone to follow Trump around dressed as a chicken and photographing them at every opportunity. This is why British politics ultimately will always be better than American politics!

“The village's 300 inhabitants had to leave their homes on 19 May after geologists monitoring the area warned that the glacier appeared unstable.” Unimaginable to consider what could have happened without public investments in hazard monitoring and prediction. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Without wanting to greatly upset my fellow poll-watchers and psephologists, it would be better for us all to spend the next few years asking the question 'What would a Farage/Reform government look like?' rather than 'Might Farage/Reform win?'

Russian propaganda is currently feeding off Trump's well-earned reputation for stupidity. On the world stage Trump is seen as being very weak, especially in the head. He is Putin's play-thing. www.yahoo.com/news/hundred...

Today the far right ultranationalist ultra-conservative supporters of the losing Romanian presidential candidate Simion held a rally. It was pouring with rain, and some helpful people gave them umbrellas. Pride umbrellas. 😃

Fascinating post from @benansell.bsky.social, the best electoral analyst around. Lots of speculation, ofc, but intelligent & informed speculation. Bonus points for a) XTC reference in the title; b) using the expression 'if I had my druthers'; c) mentioning CPFC won the FA Cup. Who could want more?

If you use Telegram now’s probably a good time to stop. Musk has just signed a one-year partnership with Telegram to integrate his AI Grok into the message app. xAI will invest $300 million, cash and equity, and share 50% of Grok subscription revenue.

The most important achievement of the right in the C21st has been the invention of an all-powerful "establishment" that does not include the editor of the Sunday Telegraph, the world's richest media moguls, the party that was in govt for 14 years, Boris Johnson or the billionaire president of the US

Amazing. Right out in the open: "universities are free to do research as long as they're sympathetic to the administration." I want to personally play this clip in the face of every fucking clown who spent the last several years pretending that the left is the "real" threat to free speech.

War crimes daily committed by Netanyahu and the IDF. This is not catastrophe or tragedy like an earthquake or a tsunami. This is deliberate. Targeting children so that they won’t grow up to produce more children. There’s a word for that.

Israelis, many, inside and outside Israel, have been and are protesting against the actions of the Israeli government. Do not put the actions of a government on its people. Let's use this momentum to put the two-state solution as the only viable option for peace and stability.

Today the Supreme Court cleared the way for the federal government to transfer thousands of acres of national forestland including a Native American sacred site, to Resolution Copper a mining company owned by Rio Tinto and BHP.
