Next to Trump and Musk, Shatner and I look like adoring newlyweds.

I particularly like the punchline. 😏

I think I started a war on twitter between american conservatives and Polish Eurofans

There is joy in the world

1/ Russian Black Sea Fleet submarines based in Novorossiysk are reportedly suffering from constant mechanical breakdowns, which are being blamed on sabotage. The suspected culprits, however, are not Ukrainians but the fleet's own personnel. ⬇️

Yesterday we had the first half of donors recognized at two bonus Patrons Balls held this year by Scientology leader David Miscavige. Today, it's the really big whales who have given $1 million or more, and if you gave more than $5 million, Dave got in the photo with you!

Near the Hall is an area known as Hungate. Once a marsh it was known in the 12th century as 'Hundegat in Mersch' By 1850 it was a slum and featured in Seebohm Rowntree's study on poverty in York. The following photos capture life before demolition in 1936.

"If they have to do it, they should do it in private." "Yeah!" "It's not right, doing it in the open where kids can see." "Yeah! It's not like they have to, it's something they choose to do." "True. Hate is a lifestyle choice." "Absol- Hate?" "Yeah. What did you think we were talking about?"

Alan Turing, one of Britain’s most renowned humanists, was a visionary whose genius helped the Allies win WWII. Yet despite his extraordinary contributions, he was persecuted for being gay and subjected to chemical castration. This #PrideMonth, we remember him.

EXCLUSIVE: We’ve been well aware that Scientology subjects its elderly Sea Org workers to harrowing abuse as they age. And now, we have remarkable new information in public records that shows where Scientology’s secretive Int Base has been sending its elderly workers to die.

Slava Ukraini!

It's really that simple.

One thing that fascinates me about the Whimsical Wizarding World of Harry Potter is that, for all its militant whimsicality, there is absolutely no creative or artistic expression in the Wizarding World

Ukraine can destroy 1/3 of Russias bombers in a day, but Elon Musk still can't build a working Robtaxi. More Ukrainians needed, less Ketamine.

On this day in 1904, a Czech Jewish woman was born. On the 10 Jun 1942 she was deported to Ujazdow labour camp. She perished in the Shoah. Her name was Hilda Kolarová

Some of Scientology's wealthiest donors descended on Manhattan recently to throw themselves a big party and to fundraise for turning all of New York 'Ideal.' What, you didn't know the city was in David Miscavige's crosshairs? Well, we have the photos to prove it!

Another 'season' debuts Monday on Scientology TV, and among the new offerings is a talk show hosted by actor Jason Dohring. Former insider and film director Mitch Brisker has some great observations about how David Miscavige's weird TV experiment got to this point.

Books arrived safely. So that’s my summer reading sorted, thanks to @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social

Thread. 😡

Scientology recently suffered a setback in its ongoing takeover of Clearwater, Florida. But as Bruce Hines reminds us, the church's schemes in this fight go back decades.

Let's air a grudge we have against a long-dead physician, shall we? Meet John Maubray (c. 1700-1732), who believed men were inherently superior to women in every way, *especially* in midwifery.

Has it really been 7 years that Scientology TV has been on the air? In that time, David Miscavige’s experiment has failed in part because his vaunted celebrities won't go near it. But that's about to change, according to what we found in a new slideshow at Scientology’s website.

Joy Villa began appearing more than 10 years ago in Scientology magazines as one of its new celebrities. On May 14, she went public with her defection from the church. Now, with Alex Barnes-Ross, we’re going to be talking to her in a live video today starting at 11 am Eastern.

It's #MenstrualHealthDay! This is the perfect day to revisit why menstrual blood is not only nothing to be scared of, but might actually hold the key to some very exciting science... masto.ai/@vagina_muse...

27 May 1930 | A Polish Jewish girl, Romcia Dawidowicz, was born in Łódź. In 1944 she was deported from Litzmannstadt Ghetto to #Auschwitz. She did not survive.

We know that recruiting for Scientology's inner hard core, the Sea Org, is relentless. But after they've got you to sign the billion-year contract, how do they sink that hook so that you never want to leave? Val Ross describes the process, and brings the documents.

This was the difficult, painfully and prayerfully discerned work of Quakers in Britain over the last few days (and building on years of work for peace in Israel and Palestine). Please read the full statement rather than just the headline.

This is going to sound incredibly earnest and preachy but fuck it. Support creative people. Buy their stuff. Share it on here. Music, art, words, whatever. Things made by humans for humans.

May good juju follow your path today! Pass it on ✨️🌸🙏

Oh my God, the FDA Commissioner is telling people with diabetes to ditch their insulin 🤦‍♂️
