This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

I swear getting pardoned turned all the Jan 6 shitheads' lives into Final Destination and honestly, good. www.tmz.com/2025/02/27/m...

Be clear about what Trump and Musk’s aid axe will do: people will face terror and starve, many will die | Gordon Brown

My word that is a damn good headline

MAGA propaganda so bad that even russian propaganda is debunking it, what the hell is going on anymore

New version dropped, lads.

Group of idiots who apparently have completely failed to understand how shouting about immigration makes people vote for the far right urge for more shouting https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/feb/04/group-of-labour-mps-urge-no-10-to-be-tougher-on-migration-to-fend-off-threat-from-reform

Does Musk have the authority to do this? Doesn’t matter. As we know from previous Musk experience, the real question is: who will stop him? www.theverge.com/politics/605...

The first thing Trump & Musk did was attempt to freeze payments to woke trans marxist grants which turned out to be Medicaid, Meals on Wheels, and police departments. So, no, this isn't Genius Musk figuring out something nobody understood, it's a bratty child pulling wires in a server room.

Why are the Democrats so spineless? | Moira Donegan

hey quick question does Goliath win in that story

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

The store is now selling "I will de-Nazify shit but I will not re-Nazify shit" tshirts and I hope they sell a million of them, lol

Jim Acosta announces on air that he's leaving CNN and says, "it is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant ... don't give in to the lies."

That’s such an “awkward gesture.”

@kermodeandmayo.bsky.social Maybe not as important as risk to life and people's homes of course www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

So the general direction of travel on stopping civilisational collapse appears to be "it's too hard and the right-wing will have a go at us for it" www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Is that Elon Musk chap still a Fellow of the Royal Society?

Remember all the outraged coverage about a handful of climate protesters slowing ambulances a few years back? Well it turns out that wealthy farmers doing exactly the same thing on a much bigger scale is absolutely fine bylinetimes.com/2024/12/12/t...

This Kemi Badenoch quote is such a rich text. Steak at your desk? Sandwiches for breakfast? No moist bread?

Added this provocative note to my Llama 3.3 post concerning the CO2 impact of training the model, which Meta calculated as 11,390 tons CO2eq "I believe that's equivalent to around 20 fully loaded passenger flights from New York to London (at ~550 tons per flight)." simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/6/l...

So if they make environmental improvements (for which they get subsidies) they will increase their wealth and will have to (possibly) pay some small part of that extra wealth back on death (at half the rate of anyone else). Boo and indeed hoo. Credulous shite from sky news.sky.com/story/farmer...

I'm not sure I know how to cope on a world where memecoins are a thing

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Absolutely this

Quite impressed with the major news website where the reporter signed up for a free trial, ripped off all the content from this article, put the material behind their site's own paywall, immediately cancelled their subscription, then failed to include a link to the original post when asked.

My friend gave me this mug…

Okay, just read this whole thing, and it's so good. Please read it. www.theverge.com/24282022/kam...

@kermodeandmayo.bsky.social Really looking forward to The Bourne Dilemna
