The UK government should long ago have exited X. The platform is not interested in appropriate moderation. It is a hotbed for extremism. This was clear nearly a year ago during the riots.

The new art of the deal: the content is less than clear, implementation is unclear and by the time one of the parties is ready to implement the fundamentals have shifted anyways.

“Analysis” easier, cheaper to produce. Normalization of GOP extremism, particularly Trump’s, into a typical understanding of politics frees them from grappling with the stark reality. They don’t have to confront the larger problem or deviate from their standard set of descriptors of his actions.

Earlier this year, we reported on chemical industry lobbying to prevent regulation of PFAS forever chemicals on a scale "far bigger than anything the tobacco industry have been able to pull together." Today, we report on the latest tactic in this deadly strategy: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

To recap: There are 10,000+ PFAS. Some are toxic. They're here forever. They pollute water, air, soils, animals and you. Some linked to diseases inc cancers. So when scientists warn against moves to redefine them, we'd better hope people are listening: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Note: the author of the article, Daniel Pipes, runs an org, ‘the Middle East Forum’, to launder anti-Muslim propaganda, which has, for example, materially supported Tommy Robinson (a UK far-right anti-Muslim extremist) and extremist politician Geert Wilders. Pipes doesn’t give a shit about Jews!

Leaked FSB documents show that Russia’s leadership, while publicly promoting a “no-limits” partnership with China, is deeply distrustful of Beijing’s intentions, viewing it as both a security and territorial threat behind closed doors. Allies in public, enemies in secret!🤡

If you think climate change has gotten worse during your lifetime, you're right and there's a good reason. If you're Gen X like me, more than 3/4 of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions have occurred in your lifetime. Even if you're a Millennial, it's at least half. 📊: @neilrkaye.bsky.social

An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house." The threat was greeted with extreme concern by civil liberties and digital privacy groups. It suggests the LAPD could be using facial recognition to identify and retaliate against protesters.
