If the heads of the armed forces can be fired on suspicion of being too ā€˜wokeā€™ā€¦ a president can be fired for being a foreign state agent, right? A coup dā€™etat is nigh.

Word for tomorrow: Trumpski There *must* be something in the US constitution preventing an agent of a foreign power from being the president?

Word of the day: Krasnov

IMO Channel 4 did a good job with ā€œgo back to where you came fromā€, exposing ignorance & prejudice on the one hand and desperation, trauma and tragedy on the other. #goback

Whoa. šŸ‘‡

Dangerous times. We are better than this. Defend your values or one day they may be the only thing you have.

Motivations become clear in the choices people make. Reeves is to her ā€˜fiscal rulesā€™ as Musk is to using his children as human shields. šŸ‘‡

It seems that when Musk isnā€™t using his children as human shields heā€™s not even aware he has any

Can we keep Ros Atkins please? So much better than Vile Vine. #BBC radio 2

#retro nostalgia When I was 14 in 1979 this was my most precious possession. After I grew up Dad kept it and gave it back yesterday. It had a home made 1980 TOTP mix tape in it & still works. They donā€™t make them like this any more!

The orange felon is famously thin skinned. Letā€™s start calling his tantrums ā€˜orange peelā€™.

Is there anything quite so undignified as UKā€™s ex 42 day PM so desperate for a sniff of one of the orange felonā€™s used diapers that sheā€™ll say weird stuff out loud at CPAC? Has she no shame?

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for ā€œdeclinismā€. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. šŸ§µ

Moving beyond vulture capitalism to disaster capitalism, I offer you HSBC, one of the kings of anti-climate action. See @makemymoneymatter.bsky.social for more info and actions.

More evidence that our (false) energy ā€˜marketā€™ doesnā€™t work for consumers. Yet more excess profits off the back of a cost of living crisis. Unconscionable. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

ā€˜The Gen Z recruitment crisis - only 11% would risk their lives for their country in warā€™. And this, folks, is what happens when we spend 50y promoting the ā€˜sovereign individualā€™ and preaching the death of society. Fuck neoliberalism.

Powerful #quantum computers in years not decades, says Microsoft. If so, what then for #cryptography & #cryptocurrency? Does this threaten the very fabric of our digital security architectures? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump tells BBC that Russia has 'the cards' in peace negotiationsā€¦. But only because the same orange felon gave Ukraineā€™s away, for free, without asking! The bare-faced arseholery of the man. Which effing side is this creep on? www.bbc.com/news/article...

My brother in law today said the company he works for, which was acquired by US venture capital 3 years ago, has become ā€˜completely toxicā€™. Are we surprised?

Trumpā€™s idea of MAGA is to make everything else worse. Not making America better. See, itā€™s a relative game. Less sh*t than ā€¦.

Today we went to the inquest of our nephew who died in an RTA last year. He was 20. It was nobodyā€™s fault, a black swan moment. Knowing that is some comfort, but nothing changes the fact of his passing other than his death was instant. Roads can be lethal. Please, take care out there.

Whoa! Trump is either rabid or so limited in processing power he believes the last thing heā€™s told (by Putin). This is beyond the pale. ā€˜Fact-checking Trump claims about war in Ukraineā€™ www.bbc.com/news/article...

Dear European leaders. You do know youā€™re out of time for a dick dance, right? Not even a joint statement, just a bunch of partisan sheep wandering around bleating to the press. Less mouth, more trousers please. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Thames Water, which is over Ā£16 BILLION in debt, has just been granted a Ā£3 billion rescue loan. Last December it was still paying fat dividends to bosses and shareholders. This corporate greed and entitlement needs to be stopped. As Iā€™ve said before: Itā€™s fucking WATER.
