There was much despairing on social media last week that the demolition of a foodhall to make way for 900 flats showed London was dead and soulless developers had won. The reality is really *very* different. capx.co/nimby-watch-...

Flashback to three months ago: Wall Street was excited because Trump would let say them say the word 'retard' www.ft.com/content/cf87...

Looks like the Trump regime and associated “Free Speech Central Committee” over on X didn’t like my post about Trump receiving his Golden Lettuce award… 🏆 You know what to do… Share the hell out of it!

I feel like it goes underacknowledged here how many cis women are willing to gleefully assert their own abject weakness and universal incompetence compared to men if it means getting one over on trans women

The problem here is that half our media-political class are petrified of the far right and would do anything to appease them, and most of the rest actively want them to succeed

I think you're an anti-trans extremist and science denier who is incapable of defending their views, and you shouldn't be working a job where you have to interact with people

Closer by The Chainsmokers. First time I heard it I thought, “It’s supposed to sound like that?”

RFK Jr is an ignorant racist who buries his genuinely life-threatening agenda under a vague, fluffy rhetorical coat of bullshit pseudo-science and nobody should give credence to even the most anodyne things he says

Even though I know many great Republicans, I feel this is somewhat true now.

Steve Buscemi will return as Nikita Khrushchev in "AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY"

The thing that is so frustrating about this is that this exact argument — these very same words — could be used to criticise Kathleen Stock and support the people who oppose her. But they never are.

Will J.K. Rowling be conducting the genitalia inspections personally?

WWII propaganda is good actually

I'm not a financial genius, but if I were an investor, I think phrases like "loses $2 for every $1 it makes" and "annual losses of $14 billion" might be a tad concerning. I mean, they sound like bad things to me, a non-expert in making money.

I'm a socialist because I'm a liberal and a liberal because I'm a socialist.

Chad behaviour from Yuki Tsunoda, not rising to Liam Lawson’s sniping, just score points on track.

I’d love to go to the U.S. one day, see New York and Chicago, but not while President Fuckface Von Clownstick is in charge. Trump truly is a vicious idiot.

BREAKING: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I can't remember the last time I saw an article just focus on this. Not that they've bent the truth or misrepresented a few facts a little, but that every single solitary thing that the GOP says on the topic is a stone cold lie with absolutely no basis in reality. ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Nice. Longer videos on bluesky! I can finally post my memes here.

For a while now I have been thinking something to the effect of, “This is the most uncool era of American history,” and I finally put those thoughts into words.

The framing of Trump wanting to depose Zelensky because Zelensky "doesn't want peace" provides cover for Putin. There would be no war without Putin. We never hear Trump suggesting Putin resign for starting the war, a war he can stop at any time. The asymmetry is stark and revealing.

On the week that Trump said that Russia's increased bombing of Ukraine are 'what anyone would do,' John Heywood takes a look at what constitutes genocide, and how this is represented in the Russia-Ukraine war.

Gen Z don’t want dictators. They want functioning democracy. A recent poll was widely misinterpreted, fuelling unnecessary generational panic. Our research tells a very different story | Prof Bobby Duffy & Dr Paolo Morini @eastangliabylines.co.uk

🇺🇦🇺🇸 JD Vance’s cousin fought for over two years in Ukraine as part of the "Da Vinci Wolves." "JD is smart, but what they did to Zelensky was a dishonest ambush. Being relatives doesn’t mean I’ll accept him aiding in the killing of my comrades."

Amidst the devastation of Russia's war, Ukrainian servicewomen fight for their country and the future of their families. Their strength stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of Ukraine.

So it goes without saying, but let's say it anyway: the concentration of attacks on trans people isn't because trans people are the only people fascists hate (although they absolutely do hate them). It's because they're the people they think non-fascists are least likely to defend.

If you’re drawn to a politician because they promise to be cruel to Muslims or Jews or immigrants or gays or transgender people etc, the least you should do - the absolute, bare bones, still morally vacuous least - is ask yourself whether they’re likely to stop at the group you want to see targeted.

Boris Johnson endorsing Donald Trump last October with one of the great Freudian slips of all time

this is obviously bleak and horrid and I know it's a petty thing to point out but: god we fucking told you so, lesbians and gay men who decided to become transphobic for no apparent reason, we told you the entire LGBTQ community would end up getting screwed over, this was always going to happen

2017: Afghanistan government agreed with Trumpf to develop its rare earth elements (REE) reserves in exchange of support from 🇺🇸 2020: Trumpf signs ‘deal’ with Taliban Islamists 2021: 🇺🇸 withdraws from 🇦🇫 and islamic Taliban regime takes over 2025: Trumpf is pressing Ukraine 🇺🇦 to sign REE deal ..

Worth stating simply what’s happening. An American government is launching a full-scope political & economic assault on an ally repelling an ongoing invasion to compel them to terminate martial law, topple their president, hand over minerals to America & accept a ceasefire w/out security guarantees.

To understand the Ukrainian position, we must start with the fact that Putin is not fighting for territory. Russia has vast territories, undeveloped and neglected. Russia is fighting to destroy Ukrainian statehood and identity, as it did 100 years ago. www.persuasion.community/p/the-united...
