Worst. Episode. EVER.

A former senior KGB spy chief says Trump was recruited by them in 1987 due to his role as a prominent US businessman

Spineless, yellow-bellied, lily-livered, weak-kneed, pusillanimous chickenshits.

I’m with Joey. I would eat the trifle and like it

Every. Single. Bloody. Thing. They. Promised. About. Brexit. Was. A. Lie. And on they go demanding it be protected as if it’s something precious rather than the stupidest thing a country could have done to itself. Here’s what prejudice delivers… A barrelling shitshow of failure. 👇

Just let this sink in In 2016 Vote Leave marginally won The UK gov knew of Russian interference to deliver Brexit And despite that, May, Johnson, Truss, Sunak, and now Starmer have chosen to do what Putin wants- weaken Europe- instead of protect our democracy from Putin Shameful

Musk's censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by about 95% since he bought it. So we moved over to blue sky. Help us build another great following right here where the skies are clear and the water is fine ;-) Please do Follow Retweet & repeat

Western oligarchs love China’s dictatorship. Gates fawns over Xi, Zuckerberg gifts his book to employees and asks him to name his kid, Musk hypes China’s rise on state TV. It’s not about ideology—it’s about power, greed, and control.

not a new observation but Elon Musk genuinely isn't very bright, genuinely has no idea how most things work, and his entire supergenius engineer persona is a tech press-enabled mythology (they've never been held accountable for)

This is what Reform & Farage really want for the UK ..

Should pass 100k mark in next 24hrs at the current rate. If you haven't signed already please consider doing so and give it a share. Yes, we've all done similar Petitions before, but it may lead to a Parliamentary Debate - a good thing in the current climate: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Day 33 of #365DaysOfSmiles Dog wants their butterfly wings

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

Five years after #Brexit, its disastrous consequences are clearer than ever. We need to do far more to rebuild relations with the EU & begin a serious conversation about rejoining. That starts with facing down Farage & faragism @europeanmovement.co.uk @mikegalsworthy.bsky.social

For those saying it wasn't a Nazi salute. Keep posting it. Keep sharing it.

A violent criminal? A threat to society? A danger to democracy? No, no and no. This is someone being punished again and again for giving a damn about humanity and the living world. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Your minute of zen

Free school meals 'would tackle child poverty', help families too. England govt should emulate Scotland, NI and London. 5.2m children live in poverty. Free school meals to all primary/secondary pupils would cost £2.5bn. End tax perks of the rich. Save the future. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Second US hospital bankruptcy draws private equity scrutiny. Company sold real estate, leased it back, started paying rent on properties it previously owned, declared bankruptcy. Usual story of profiteering & exploitation. Why is the UK Govt handing the NHS to PE? www.axios.com/2025/01/15/p...

If there are 9 Nazis at the table and you sit with them, there are 10 Nazis. Bipartisanship is not the way.

Fun fact - the "roman salute" is a myth. There is no mention anywhere in Roman literature or iconography of such actions. We think otherwise because of films and 19th-century art ... oh yes and the Italian fascists and Nazis who pretended it was a thing. One might even call it "Fake history".

All I'm saying, @royalsociety.org, is that your one of your Fellows giving Nazi salutes is never going to be a good look for you.

Remembering Janey Godley today !

January 30, 2024: I posted the longer version of this video on TikTok. It was instantly banned—I should have known then. 🧵

Wealth of world’s billionaires grew by $2tn in 2024, with UK leading the way in G7! Number of billionaires rose by 204 to 2,769.Their wealth jumped from $13tn to $15tn – the second-largest annual increase since records began. TAX THE SUPER RICH www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ja...

Burn it all down 🔥 🔥 Facebook 🔥 Instagram 🔥 TikTok 🔥 X Everyone needs to remove themselves out of Billionaires' virtual play things / hellscapes. Any 'social media' that I'm now and into the future will be Protocol based (ActivityPub, AT protocol, etc..) vs being in a walled-hellscape platform.

Dear Keir Starmer, Please don't "unleash AI' to try to create the mythical growth you're always on about. AI is losing money at a rate of millions of dollars per DAY. It's biggest cheerleaders live off investor money by promising Big Things In The Unspecified Future. It is flim flam. Regards, Sooz

NHS bought & sold via corruption 'Wes Streeting is considering PFI 2.0: it could END our NHS as we know it' via @premnsikka.bsky.social NHS received £13bn private investment, repayment's £80bn+. PFI is a scam. Govt guarantees corporate profits. Govt can borrow & invest at much lower cost."

This is fine

Keir Starmer just announced "a new agreement that will expand the relationship between the NHS and the private healthcare sector" NO NO NO Privatisation is BAD news for patients: 🤑£10 million a week wasted on private profits 🤑NHS Trusts still being ripped off by PFI deals

10 years ago today 5 cartoonist & 7 others - including janitor Frederic Boisseau - were murdered in the offices of Charlie Hebdo by men with automatic weapons shouting "God is Great!" Never ever put your faith in anyone who bathes in the blood of bystanders to peddle their "truth".

Why is Elon Musk still an FRS? (Fellow of the Royal Society) @royalsociety.org ?
