Have we ever considered… That maybe fact checkers feel left leaning …because the left aligns itself more with fact?

This is brilliant!! 😂✊🏼

The EU has ordered Elon Musk to let their engineers have access to Twitter's code to prove it isn't biased and passes the EU's Laws for Freedom of Speech. He is damned either way, hand it over and Twitter will be banned. Refuse and Twitter will be banned too.

I was at a comedy club in Manhattan last night. Comedian: Where you from? Audience member: Texas! Comedian: Oh! Here for an abortion?

Trump, Musk and Zuckerberg have declared war on facts and truth. The pushback must start now @emilybell.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I know we all have disaster fatigue, but the reason why historic LA fires get so much coverage is because there are more people in greater LA county than in *most US states*

Just saw a no-longer relevant evacuation notice on instagram from five hours ago and remembered — that’s right, due to hyper-monetization every major social network no longer shows you life-saving breaking news as it happens. They turned it over to an algorithm that finally noticed “he likes fire.”

Inflation is running at 2.6%. It was 16% in 1974.

This is a very good illustration about how quickly and scarily the Tory party has moved on integration and multiculturalism. I think we're massively missing just how concerning this is; having the primary opposition party no longer supporting multiculturalism and civic nationality is a awful step.

Denmark has offically owned Greenland since 54 years before the USA existed.

I mean, that's outstanding.

i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!

James Woods house burned down and he doesn't believe in Climate Change, paying tax, or funding Public Services. So it must have been an act of god.

FTSE 100 Boss: earns average median workers yearly wage in 7 days. Also FTSE 100 boss: we can’t afford a wealth tax - yeah right….:) www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I can’t quite believe that a parliamentarian has just called for the deportation of family members of offenders of a specific ethnicity.

Our relationship with our neighbors and close allies matter. Trump seems intent on screwing them up before he even takes office. Here's the literal illustration of why we can't let that happen--when your house is on fire, sometimes you need your neighbor's help to put it out.

Former National Police Lead for Child Protection, Simon Bailey, "We know there were systemic failings" "We are sitting on so many recommendations that will improve the response" "Another review will not add anything" "We should be taking action now to ensure failings of past not replicated"

Why is this stepdaughter-shagging relative of Musk of any relevance whatsoever?

In the Warhammer 40,000 universe this is the sort of thing the Imperium of Mankind says about your planet right before drop pods full of 9 foot tall power armoured super-soldiers from a chapter called something like "The Flesh Tearers" drop out of the atmosphere and onto your capital city.

Jesus Christ have some fucking dignity man. The spectacle of the British right queueing up to supplicate itself before this preening man-child.

Labour bods...get your party and leader on BlueSky asap!! You must stop this! For all we know, the dosh is already in Farage and Candy's sticky little hands... www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

New Christmas lights just went up in Clacton. (Farage is still the MP who makes most money from second jobs. By a long way.)

we’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out How Trump Won and the answer is simply that we live in a country where people think the moon is a government drone

Lee Anderson is getting absolutely blasted on here, but you know that say: you win some you lose Somme.

I don't love it either, but I'm not sure how you tell a man that he should let his only surviving son rot in prison to respect norms, institutions, and the rule of law, when the country you devoted your life to serving just pretty comprehensively voted they don't give a shit about any of that.

Not much of a fan of Trudeau, but he got this one spot on. 👌 #ICC #Netanyahu

World beating UK, energy prices nearly double anywhere else. Also the UK, every energy firm making 4-10x profits. I wonder if they are related?

Remember when Argentina used French Exocet anti-ship missiles to sink British warships during the Falklands War which inevitably led to the great Anglo-French war of 1983?

Sir Tom wrote a book which he said was to raise funds for the NHS. He died, his daughter made herself head of his charity, and gave the entire £1.47m raised to herself. We really should be talking about prison.

Since Nigel Farage has just sided with Russia again, and said “the idea Ukraine is going to win, frankly, is for the birds,” it’s time to re-ask those five questions he’s never asked about his support for Vladimir Putin 1/6 bylinetimes.com/2024/06/19/t...
