The GOP tax bill is incredibly unpopular—with the TOO FEW Americans who have heard about it. Dems must use the Trump-Musk break to spotlight the bill and how it cuts health care & food assistance, cuts taxes for the rich, and increases the deficit by trillions. open.substack.com/pub/messageb...

As I reported last week the plane carrying the men to South Sudan was still over the Atlantic Ocean when the judge said they had to stay in American custody in any way the government chose to do that…going to Djibouti was definitely a deliberate choice

I'm fucking furious. Bluesky just removed two more of my lists, one for ableism and another for people who shit on mutual aid. My ableism list isn't even made private, its just completely gone! My disabled ass is now extremely vulnerable to ableist attacks thanks to @safety.bsky.app.

Enough is enough. If your water company is Thames Water I advise you to cancel your direct debit. The only way to resist is by not paying. If they go bust I’m hoping the government can renationalise cheaply.

Trying to convince Trump that Putin is a bad guy is a fool's errand. But Merz deserves points for trying.

It delights me that this man, Bill Oddie, was once best-known for being part of a three-man comic act called The Goodies, famous in at least the UK and Australia in the 70s and 80s. (I wouldn't look the show up, it hasn't aged well. But this is gorgeous)

Housewife of the Year review: A reminder that Ireland of the 1970s and 80s was no country for women of any age

Just after watching this documentary. Its an absolute gut punch. Incredible stories behind the the women who participated. Really sensitively made about a very different time in Ireland. Highly recommend!

40 years later, and I imagine lots of Americans are feeling exactly the same way today.

AI ads are now being displayed around the London Underground.

I have campaigned for 8 1/2 years to save abandoned architecturally significant churches posting on social media daily. There has been zero support. My two #Church #roofs are leaking. They both need flooring mechanicals, etc. and I’m now carrying about $190k worth of tax liens.. anyone interested?

I tweeted this eight years ago as many Silicon Valley leaders openly protested Donald Trump's ban of people from Muslim-majority countries. Some of these same leaders celebrated Trump at his recent inauguration.

22-year-old Māori lawmaker Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke was just suspended for 7 days over the haka she initiated in New Zealand’s Parliament last year. “The rules of Parliament don't really see or fit Māori people,” she told @teenvogue.com, in the profile we ran just last week.

It’s the 4th day of Pride Month! Where gays worldwide put on Star Wars cosplay and say “May the Pride Be With You” to each other! In America, this date reads as 6/4, which coincidentally is also the height of all our dream boyfriends! Gayness!

I talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives: www.404media.co/teachers-are...

This past semester was the most stressful of my academic career. I had 180 students and about half cheated at some point in the semester They submit weekly reflections where the questions are opinion-based, graded only on effort, don't care about grammar SO MANY students submitted ChatGPT essays

i pretend like i dont understand cosplay and then every time i wear a superman tshirt (i have like 10), i walk around with my hands on my hips, superman style.

Reform UK are falsely reporting that they have saved the Taxpayer money - basing their figure on having one fewer councillors than the previous administration. They don’t - Leader of Worcestershire County Council, Reform UK’s Jo Monk miscounted their Cabinet members and forgot Ian Cresswell.

Donald has spent the last week pardoning his friends who defrauded Medicare, union pensions, banks, and more. This is what “fraud and abuse” actually looks like. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/c...

"The official also said that the timing of the announcement -- occurring during Pride month -- was intentional." Fuck right off, Pete. We don't need your ship to honor Harvey.
