This is how you do it. Other news agencies like Axios and CBS, stop rolling over! Grow a spine, stand up straight and fight!

"We're asking for rare earth and oil, anything we can get." Guess whomst.

It would appear that our son is entertaining fellow travellers on the London Underground…. (I don’t think these are even his pipes!) #Scotland #ScotlandRugby #MusicSky

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Elon Musk issues warning to all federal government employees "All federal employees will shortly receive an email requesting to understand what they got done last week. Failure to respond will be taken as a resignation."

Get. Him. Out. Of. Our. Government.

Me to same owl handler: "Owls are super wise, right? They read loads of highbrow Russian literature and stuff, don't they?" Owl handler: "No, they actually have very tiny brains, due to the hugeness of their eyes. In reality they are one of the thickest animals you could ever meet."

There is a massive scandal within the NHS that the public aren’t being told about. 20,000 doctors are facing the prospect of being unable to find a speciality training job this August due to the government restricting the spaces. This means drs can’t train to become specialist consultants or GPs.

Recommended read: A @theguardian.com interactive mapped the record heat experienced by two-thirds of the Earth’s surface in 2024.

It's not about Brown, or Caine, or other individuals. It's not about reforming DOD . What it's about, at DOD and DOJ and the FBI and the intelligence community, is breaking all institutional resistance to Trump, and ensuring as much as is possible personal fealty to Trump.

All politics is economics. If the Supreme Court Citizens United decision grants more political power to those with more money, then to defeat them, it is essential that we target the sources of their wealth. Yes, that means you should sell your Tesla and get off X. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

Yep. Hit ‘em in the wallet.

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

Regardless of whether you believe EVs are the future or not, un-developing infrastructure seems like an act of curious self-harm.

The shortest honeymoon in history.

Ukrainian Kamikaze Drone with a very unusual design. It uses TM-62 anti-tank mines as wheels

Pleading with people to understand exactly this:

Byline Times is facing major DDOS (malicious traffic-flooding) issues on our site apparently after this article went live... bylinetimes.com/2025/02/21/d...

The Gleichschaltung of the US military begins.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

A reminder… www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

It's lovely and windy today, which means lots of clean green electricity. Or does it? See all those purple dots in Scotland? Those are wind farms that we're turning off as of 8am… 🤔

So Nigel Farage has chosen to explain away Trump’s outrageous remarks about President Zelensky instead of doing the right thing and condemning them. Deeply disappointing but not at all surprising. He sounds like a spokesman for Trump. He certainly doesn’t speak for Britain.
