Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I am the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

This is still such a great record. The first LFO record is one of those where I can still remember the first time I heard it, and this follow up is just as good. Some great remixes from this too, including Spiritualized.

Current listening. Loved the Holy Tongue project that Al Wootton is part of, so digging further into his music. This, and his Forest Trilogy, are right up my street. Superb. alwootton.bandcamp.com/album/we-hav...

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

To all who work for or have contact with institutional donors... Thousands of #NGO and #INGO worldwide are battling to stay alive after the closure of #USAID. You could make a HUGE difference by urgently 'unrestricting' your #funding to them - ie allow them to spend it on whatever they need. #SDGs

When will Govt learn you can’t out-Reform Reform - you end up simply legitimising their toxic narrative. To see off populists, Labour needs to invest in public services & local communities, making a real difference to people’s lives - levy a wealth tax & use it to improve people’s lives now

It’s astonishing how little we hold water companies to account in this country. So many Qs: Massive hike in water bills? 2.5m households already in debt to water companies + WHY is it that consumers are having to take the brunt of “5 yr investment of new infrastructure” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I mean yes, there is such a concept in Christianity. It appears quite notably in the letters of Paul, for instance, where it’s a concept he relentlessly argues against, and in the Gospel where it’s a concept Jesus very much repeatedly scorns. So it is technically in there!

The NFL ordering a team to shut down their @bsky.app is a stark reminder of just how curated our feeds are on traditional social media platforms. It’s not just that algorithms dictate what we see—those algorithms are shaped by business interests and partnerships behind the scenes. #Decentralization

There is something hugely revealing in the rage that her kindness has provoked. A real “HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME LOOK AT MYSELF?” vibe. And something immensely powerful in her continuing to show them up, by insisting on being kind. A beam of light piercing through. Great interview, @maddow.msnbc.com.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

This is brave and great! A fabulous contrast with the cowardice and collusion of tech barons, media moguls, political operatives, and so-called evangelicals backing Trump, who have sold their souls, and betrayed every Christian value.
