The leader of France’s far-right quit CPAC over Nazi ideology. Meanwhile, Farage happily embraces the Nazi at the same event. Says a lot about champagne fascist Farage. #ukpolitics

Another six-byline alarm on DOGE’s specious accounting. “That contract wasn’t canceled by DOGE or anyone else,” he said. “If they took credit for canceling the contract, they’re lying.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

Just got to admire the courage of this Doctor to actually go and experience the reality (not the first time she has done it) and report on it with a doctor's perspective rather than a war journalist (very good as some of them are btw)

The only 4 star general to ever be removed Trump announced he was dismissing Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Charles Q. Brown & replacing him with Air Force Lt. Gen. John Dan “Razin” Caine – an extraordinary move since Caine is retired. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

“Project 2025 drew heavily on Orbán’s strategy, Scheppele adds. ‘First you defund everything your opponents do. Then you purge the civil service of those who are not loyal to you. Then you threaten the media with economic sanctions so they fall in line. You pack the courts; you cow the parliament.’”

You could also try Tidal (others available) for less per month than Spotify and FLAC quality streaming The difference in quality of sound between FLAC quality and Spotify streaming rate is really noticeable on Hi-fi systems but also on phones and smart speakers www.theguardian.com/music/2025/f...

Sussan Ley asked why Peter Dutton Lied & “wrongly” claimed people from Gaza are being given citizenship? Ley insists it’s the “Nine Papers” who “got it wrong” until Jason Clare ends the clown show & tells Peter Dutton “Check your facts before opening your gob!”🔥🤣#auspol youtu.be/O9XVSr43Fhs?...

Once more, Farage is claiming that he stood up in the European Parliament in early 2014 and predicted the Ukraine war. In fact, he stood up in September 2014, AFTER the annexation of Crimea, and blamed Europe for Putin's actions. I kept the receipts. Listen here 👇🏽 open.spotify.com/episode/77cz...

is there really anything else we can say at this point

Of course it's worth noting that the Krapina Neanderthals (an important sample here, and pre-the-bottleneck) are probably much older than 130,000 years (Grun & Stringer, unpublished data)

I agree with Bill. Time to eat the rich! The 1% have gotten too big for their britches.

This is truly miraculous

Aside from it being a standard Johannes nepo-turdsplat, why would they assume that all these (fictitious) immigrants are likely to vote ALP? They’re basically conceding that the Liberals are the party of racism.

Take note you anti vaxxer cretins!

Peter Dutton is NOT your mate!!

Elon Musk recently posted on his site that another lawyer and I are “undermining civilization.” He goes on to ask if we suffered childhood trauma and concludes by suggesting we are suffering from “generational trauma.” This is my response. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/my-o...

Take J. Edgar Hoover and then make him 30 times worse. The whole nation will suffer for this folly. Suffer so much more than anyone yet realizes. This was a critical benchmark Trump had to hit to advance his plan to destroy democracy. Everyone who voted for Kash Patel should live in infamy forever.

In Australia we wake up to Maggie every morning, imagine being American and waking up to Donald Trump and Elon Musk, ad nauseam. Donald Trump has gutted the national parks department and staff, the destruction about to unfold on America’s flora and fauna will be horrific #balmain #birds #sydney

I can only operate on the assumption that this could happen 500 times a day and journalists would still describe it as a 'controversial hand gesture' Media: you are actively and unforgivably helping murderous racists and violent bigots when you do this. Stop, we are begging you

Whitehouse: "Remember Trump-Russia? The Mueller report said there was Trump-Russia. The bipartisan Senate intelligence report said there was Trump-Russia. Repeated trials brought in evidence showing Trump-Russia. There was, is, and forever shall be Trump-Russia."

Here’s a very simple thing you can do to get people out of an information distortion field: help someone get set up on Bluesky. Sit with them, help them through the process *in person*, show them features, suggest good accounts to follow, put out a call for followers for them on your own account.

I read some disturbing focus group reports the other day- people regard Dutton as an "unknown". In other words, they don't remember his dreadful record over several decades, and the media has been very remiss about reminding them. (By "remiss" I mean either biased or bone lazy.)

It’s tough to get crushed this bad. On the app he owns too. Embarrassing.
