Welcome

So good. 🤡 @brendanvduke.bsky.social

A former French military base, Vauban is a thriving neighbourhood of 5,500 residents connected to Freiburg town centre by bus and light rail. Built in the late 1990s as a radical experiment in low-car living, it forgoes virtually all on-street parking in favour of active, green, and social spaces. 🧵

Can’t take him anywhere #elonmusk #tesla #teslatakedown

We took over the giant screen at Farage’s big rally in Birmingham

The Epic of Gilgamesh tells the story of king Gilgamesh’s quest for eternal life, but tucked within his epic story is another tale told by the oldest man in the world, Uta-napishti. It’s a story of the Flood and how Uta-napishti survived. The description of the storm itself is really something.

Thread. Ken White has had a lot of experience in seeing law enforcement (and the state in general) throwing its weight around. I think his analysis here is absolutely on target.

A wave to anyone considering buying a Tesla in Tottenham this morning #Tesla

Should Laurence Fox go to jail for knowingly breaking the upskirting law? Like if yes RT if HELL YES We will find out in April.

Data's wonderful, eh? Five years of gaslighting. But you can't erase the data. World's best* Covid response. Thousands of lives saved. If you "have mixed feelings" about this, go and jump out a window! *Maybe 2nd after Taiwan idk

The Government’s push to reduce its own borrowing to lower borrowing costs for all is backfiring because it turns out pushing costs and debt out and on to councils in an abrupt and chaotic way has just forced S&P to cut 18 council debt ratings. 1/4 thekaka.substack.com/p/s-and-p-do...

I have to go meet with the Department of State tomorrow because someone reported the science communication I do as “practicing medicine without a license” to the state medical board. In their “report” it’s abundantly clear I do nothing of the sort & my degree & profession is obvious. 1/

Nuclear truth bomb from @repjasmine.bsky.social on DEI 🔥🔥🔥 “The only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so much harder, and this is why they don’t want us to have education.”

Thousands of people are ditching Tesla. Here’s one of them with a message you can see from space. Location: Black Rock Sands, Wales, UK Led By Donkeys is 100% funded by small donations.

as far as i'm concerned the entire purpose of the american experiment is to provide chuck schumer with a job that's not too challenging, yet rewarding and fun. and i hate to put it to you like this, but every criticism you post, and every phone call you make to his office, gets in the way of that

I’m struck by how close we’re getting to finally curing some of the world’s worst diseases—sickle cell, Alzheimers, pancreatic cancer, etc.—at the same time that the world’s worst people are destroying medical research and care around the world.

They gave up their dignity and bent the knee, betraying both their customers and their country. And they did it for money. Money they had no need for. The result? They lost billions and billions. The worst deal with the devil ever.

This stupid SOB is practically rooting for the measles virus. He will apparently do almost anything to avoid vaccination:

UPDATE: From the original poster of the letter on FB:

It has been more than two days that the supply of electricity to Gaza has been shut off. It must resume — essentials including food, electricity, and medical supplies should never be used as political tools. (1/3)

Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer. Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer. We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is. It will never reach you.

Hi, I'm God. I categorically reject Donold's request for Me to 'bless America.' I will not be doing that until he is long gone. Fuck you, Donold.

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

THREE HUNDRED MILLION FOR NO FERRIES. THREE HUNDRED MILLION FOR ZERO FERRIES. THREE HUNDRED MILLION TO GET NONE OF TWO FERRIES. ITS GOING TO COST MORE THAN A SINGLE LARGE RAIL ENABLED FERRY TO GET ZERO LARGE RAIL ENABLED FERRIES. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Regardless your specific view on this, consider what it means for the Trump/Vance administration to halt aid to Ukraine, but then in the same week rush $4 billion more to Israel as it blocks all aid into Gaza

"In other words, for every dollar lost in slightly increased travel times, the report estimates New Zealand gains between NZ$2 and $10 in reduced crash costs" Lol great article on the complete lack of any benefit (and therefore sense) to raising speeds. theconversation.com/false-econom...

😢🙏🏼 Pleease spare a thought and put your hand in your pocket for this👇🏼poor Farmer He was conned into paying £4.25 million from his own pocket for a farm thinking it was a tax loophole… But a nasty Labour Govt closed the door on his scheme so he’s scrapping by on a net worth of circa £55.8 million 🤷🏼‍♂️

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

We don't need to guess, neuroscience has the answer why it's so hard to change people's minds once they believe something - even when facts prove them wrong. Once we feel fear, rage, shame, or loneliness, facts struggle. An interesting explanation below. #GoodMorning, everyone. [🎥 in two parts]

Sign in Birmingham. UK🇬🇧, that is 😏😁

Just in case it wasn’t clear enough… MAGA = Nazis

Some of the haters who believe Syria will be Islamist are going to be disappointed by the outcomes of the Syrian National Dialogue Conference which is setting the future shape of the country. A short 🧵 on what was agreed:

The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history. Please repost if you want it restored.

Dr. Patricia Bath is an ophthalmologist, inventor, & humanitarian. Bath is the first Black woman doctor to receive a patent for a medical purpose. She conceived the Laserphaco Probe, a medical device that improves on the use of lasers to remove cataracts.

He didn't say that. And if he did, he didn’t mean it. And if he did mean it, you didn’t understand. And if you did, it’s not a big deal. And if it is, others have said worse.

Thames water shouldn't be getting bailouts and it shouldn't be hiking bills. It should be nationalised. Repost if you agree 👍 www.bigissue.com/news/environ...
