It is not Zelensky and Ukraine that should be thanking the West. It is the West that should be thanking Zelensky and Ukraine.

This is one of the first things to get some traction with significant # s of people, and so I ask you to please consider the Economic boycott: If you are able, don't buy unessential on feb 28th. Small business is okay. Essential items okay. Use cash instead of debit and credit.

Really wonderful to read about the transformation this prison drama program that was dramatised in Sing Sing had on one of the cast members lives

Solid messaging.

Boycotts are taking hold. Protests are on the rise. Federal courts are hitting back. The Trump-Musk-Vance regime's popularity is plunging and DOGE is losing credibility. In these dark times, it's important to recognize that people are fighting back. Join them.

I understand and appreciate the sentiment I do but thats not what it means either. The idea of being aware of systemic racism being made a byword by the right only to be sanitized as general good heartedness demonstrates how concepts are drained of vigor. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

What incredible fucking dweebs

BBC News on hour reporting straight that Trump has got rid of military chiefs because ‘they’re too mired in woke culture’ 🤯🤯🤯 Traditional liberal democratic media still hasn’t learned how to report on authoritarians, even now when it’s almost too late

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

Time to evict AirBnB from your life, if you have't already.

Such an elegant way to heavily imply a mountain of nudes

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Tesla has become one of the most toxic brands in the world. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

The UK can secure significant growth of 1.7% - 2.2% through a policy of deep alignment with the EU on goods and services, while staying within Starmer's red lines. This is the approach to push for: peak ambition within the constraints Labour has set. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

The text on the front banners say 'We are the Firewall'. Massive demo in Berlin today against right-wing extremism.

“Who goes Nazi” from 1941 harpers.org/archive/1941...

If anything, I think Musk's harrowingly shit sense of humour is under-discussed. The Florence Foster Jenkins of it all. The deeply unfunny freak who bought the joke factory and juiced its algorithm so he could subject all its users to... this. The gas leak comedy of a psychedelically humourless man.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

As best you can, ignore him.

If she can do it, we can all do it.

Everybody learns, from a pretty young age, that the Nazis were unfathomably evil, and they performed a “Nazi salute,” and this is something you don’t copy in your everyday life: bit.ly/4gdjnQe

If you need a how-to…

This is the face of courage and compassion. Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde for speaking truth to power on behalf of the marginalized.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

Donald Trump. An Apology. The new Private Eye is out now

Love how Greta Gerwig contextualizes Marianne Jean-Baptiste’s incredible work in #HardTruths during her chat with Mike Leigh: “[It’s] not ‘Watch me perform my anger.’ It’s ‘Watch me try to breathe while this animal is crushing me.’”

This takes some kahunas! What an amazing woman.

Well now THERE'S a lesson from history.

On the plus side, punk music is gonna be SO good for the next 4 years

David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.

Is there any way of turning mentions of Musk and anything to do with America off Bluesky sometimes?

Just learned about the extinct media museum in Tokyo and their motto doesn't mess about: All media but paper and stone will become extinct

Ooof. Elon Musk has become even more unpopular in the UK following his interventions on child grooming gangs Unfavourable - 71% to favourable 20%. That’s a -51 favourability rating. Genghis Khan level.

Posted by VP Harris’s account. Exquisite framing.

Wisdom from his many years.

One potentially surprising thing to come out of this week is that it’s seems like Farage is more aware of the electoral limitations and unrepresentative nature of the “very online right” than the Tory front bench are.

Here we are at Friday Eve! Already! It’s downhill from here to Friday. Head up. Shoulders square. Eyes forward and go! Be wonderful. Be beautiful. Be stupendous. Be exquisite. Be smashing. Be adored. Be confident. Be fabulous. Be happy. Be triumphant. Be strength. Be versatile. Take no shit.

Regulation matters

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

I wonder if I should put this on some sort of t-shirt?
