Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and that is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

In vast areas of the US, the sentiments expressed in this wonderful letter from a British man about why it's a privilege to pay tax to enable the National Health Service to run would see him probably certified as insane and labelled a "socialist".

Let's just be clear about this--Reagan was not in any way a good president. And without him, we wouldn't be in this whole mess right now. 🧵1/

"Trump’s policies can marginally slow progress in the U.S. and harm the competitiveness of American companies, but they cannot halt the fundamental dynamics of technological change or save a fossil fuel industry that will inevitably shrink dramatically in the next two decades."

it is a measure of the level of absolute brain cooking of the financial elite that this guy thinks Trump has even heard of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, let alone when it was or why, buddy he doesn't even remember all his kids names

Politico Playbook spinning a Third Way retreat as a Democratic Party Official Response for rage clicks and getting them in massive quantity speaks to a systemic issue with Bluesky. It’s just insanely easy for them and Axios et al to do this, and they know it, which means they’ll just keep doing it.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

I'm convinced this is a genuine problem. The reality of Trump is so cartoonishly, comically awful that an absolutely neutral description sounds like a hit piece, even to me. So if you're at all predisposed to think of press as biased, factual reporting looks like some relentless vendetta.

Remember when Francis said that homophobes and intolerant people "are infiltrators who take advantage of the Church for their personal passions, for their personal narrowness. It is one of the corruptions of the Church." He makes them uncomfortable because they know he sees them clearly.

Andrew Wakefield and Rupert Murdoch will go down in history as two of the most destructive figures of the late 20th/early 21st century. Other names may make the headlines (Trump/Putin/Musk), but they are the ones responsible.

I wonder if FIFA told the US it had to be a dictatorship with a poor human rights record before it was allowed to host the World Cup.

one of the most effective things that can be done to remove musk from power and break the republican party is destabilize and destroy tesla's market position, because wrecking tesla's largest shareholder means wrecking the republican party's primary financier

Gentle reminder that the European Union was established because the first four decades of our 20th century were mostly internecine war and genocide.

When you're a kid and you get brought to visit your Granny's sister, the one who thinks you're her dead niece, and when she's in the middle of telling you she once dated John Wayne, you turn to your Mam with a look that says "Have we stayed long enough?" - that's the face on Macron at the start.

1) You cannot outright the fascist right as you become the fascist right in doing so. 2) You cannot gain voters by outrighting the fascist right, but you'll lose them. 3) The way to address the fascist right is with fire and brimstone, metaphorically speaking. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.
