The BBC have been bolstering Reform since the 2024 exit poll. Their correspondents are utterly mesmerised by the far right and their senior managers are beholden to the billionaire press

No matter how hard I try, there's a part of my brain that won't accept I need to pay proper attention to Andor to understand what's going on. It's like a snob gene refusing to compute the fact that a reasonably sophisticated drama can exist in the Star Wars universe

Getting very excited about the symposium next week! lnkd.in/eEcxaKg5 I understand the desire to memory hole COVID. But it happened. It is still happening. Yet we were forced to act as though the world emerged from lockdown unchanged. It didn't. And neither did we.

The BBC is institutionally biased towards the right and the far right, and here's the proof: the results of an almost perfect before-and-after experiment. My column today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yvette Cooper on #r4today echoing Trump’s racist characterisation of asylum seekers as criminals & specifically rapists. We are on such a dangerous path towards the same deranged, fascistic nightmare as they are seeing in the US - all justified by hatred of migrants & refugees.

Had a meeting with a Japanese student studying in NY today. They want to move to the UK because they are scared about being detained for the crime of not being American. The world is not reckoning with the fascist insurgency underway in the US. UK government's response is pathetic.

Even the reddest American states do not have bathroom bans covering all private as well as public facilities. This is as extreme as it gets

It’s the 39th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster. If you’ve never watched the HBO series “Chernobyl,” I highly recommend it. The story is true, the acting is phenomenal, and the Soviet mid-1980s aesthetics are on point.

Hey, liberal apologists in the West for Israel, your fave government is no longer designating any of Gaza to be 'safe'. Good job shilling for a genocide, hope you sleep well at night!

Thinking about how much I used to Iike Oswald before I realised he makes his female colleagues and the interns do the actual work of an archivist while he flounces around looking at nice pictures and lecturing everyone on how their lives are meaningless

As good as the Last of Us is tonight, when it happened in the game in 2020, it resulted in the voice actress for Abby and her family being threatened over it. She received death threats threatening her newborn child. It's hard to forget how disgusting people can be sometimes.

Pope Francis was solidly progressive on poverty and class. But I gently suggest people lauding him take a look at his comments on trans and gender queer people and the 'degeneracy' of the West

I do not think much of the Catholic Church as a Christian model for many reasons BUT, it may be a good idea in 2025 to choose an American pope in order to counter the MAGA misrepresentation and exploitation of the Bible, which is a strong pillar of Trump’s Christofascism.

Hi @lfb-newham.bsky.social. The benches and fountain in West Ham Park playground have been broken for nearly a year. Was told via email they'd be fixed by Spring. Still broken. When will they be repaired? Thanks.

Not sure why everyone is celebrating the Vatican having a quiet word with Vance about compassion. I'm sure the Pope let it be known he's very happy with MAGA's persecution of LGBTQ+ people 1/

I was enjoying #doctorwho #lux until it descended into a mess of self referential slop halfway through. I might be old and crusty but goddammit I just want a story that doesn't wink at the audience every five minutes

Newsom said dealing with the collapse of due process was a distraction. I’m with Van Hollen. Newsom’s political instincts have been seriously failing him recently.

lovely juxtaposition of gender critical people publicly going "ah, finally a victory for common sense :)" and trans friends wondering privately if they need to seriously consider emigrating as Britain just doesn't feel safe for them

Stephen Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson) has lost an appeal against his 18-month prison sentence for contempt of court. The judges said, ""The judge's application of the law and his reasoning on the appropriate sanction in this case both exhibit a meticulous approach."

Trump is talking about shuttering publications and networks he disagrees with. He's talking about deporting and imprisoning Americans who dissent. This is unprecedented and undemocratic. Wake up America.
