Further to yesterday’s post, here’s the longer report, including pics of the kids (all with consent, obviously). The @nhslothcharity.bsky.social do lots of great stuff, but I think I like the collaborative projects best of all, multiplying the joy! tonicarts.nhslothiancharity.org/2025/06/nico...

I feel like an impactful way to do this would be to pick specific products, ie. "Storm Shell V-Power Unleaded." Would Shell sue the Met Office? Of course they would. Would it be worth it? Oh hell yeah.

Nigel Farage got £750,000 from Coutts as compensation for nothing. Even worse Coutts is owned by NatWest which is 39% owned by you. So YOU paid Nigel Farage £292,750, for whining because he didn't have enough money for an account. RT if he needs to repay every penny.

After sitting on this film for months, the BBC finally announce they won't broadcast it after its Director says Israel is committing war crimes and ethnic cleansing in Gaza (they are). BBC says this isn't impartial because "Israel has denied accusations of war crimes" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's so clear when someone is moving from a place of honesty. And so thirst-quenching. And so rare.

Remember, everything Netanyahu does is to keep himself out of prison. For the sake of one crook's liberty, tens of thousands of people have been murdered, and now a possible full-scale war has been provoked. Israel must rise up and unseat him.

👏👏👏 Bravo Merz for clarifying to Trump that while Russia terrorises & bombs civilians, Ukraine only targets military assets.

Keir Starmer facing scrutiny over failure to establish new ethics watchdog. Feather-duster rules won't stop sale of parties/legislators to corporations/rich, cash for questions/access. Public scepticism will grow until political donations, freebies, sham consultancies are outlawed.

Water industry in England & Wales needs ‘fundamental reset’, review finds. Pointless review - wasn't allowed to consider public ownership. Strengthening regulation is just a vacuous statement. Govt playing for time. Private sector can't save water industry. Govt needs to face reality.

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=vG7C...

I see Honest Bob Jenrick has a new little video attacking barristers for representing unpopular clients. Once again for those at the back: Lawyers are not their clients. Which is how, when Jenrick broke the law in government, he had lawyers to defend him.

When a conservative talking point suddenly becomes a widespread topic of conversation in public life, you can bet it's because loads of money has been poured into promoting it. Another crucial exposure by @petergeoghegan.bsky.social : democracyforsale.substack.com/p/us-antiabo...

I was recently informed that the term "hallucination" should not be used to describe situations when AI makes things up because it anthropomorphizes AI, and apparently within the field the term people use is "bullshit" So. There you go. Pass it on. AI cannot hallucinate. It can bullshit.
