To answer the long-standing mystery, when an author says, “His eyes darkened,” it means his pupils dilated either from lust, fear, anger, or another strong emotion. Thank you for coming to my TED talk. #booksky

Imagine how news media would respond if it was Harris saying this after a dozen eggs topped $8 nationally

This.

Vance took the MAGA circus to Europe and spewed fascist lies at our oldest and surest allies I’m sure that’s how you build American influence

I can only imagine the reaction from these same quarters if George Soros, who also "doesn't need your money," would have been given 1/1000 of Musk's power under a Democratic president.

A Telegraph journalist does not accept that judges make decisions according to the law, rather than the imbecilic whims of uninformed newspaper proprietors.

Actual bumper sticker that you can actually buy.

It's been quite something to watch supposedly 'patriotic' British newspapers actively cheerleading on a foreign administration that is openly working against our interests.

Fascists are dangerous. Right-wing extremist billionaires who have bought themselves the world's most powerful megaphone are very dangerous. And when they use it to implicitly threaten the UK, British politicians who ally with them are traitors. Simple as that... www.politico.eu/article/elon...

Nigel Farage, who leads a constant revolt against the metropolitan elite and foreigners, is a multimillionaire former city trader, whose kids have German passports, and who works as a brand ambassador for a gold billion firm.

A huge amount of effort is currently being expended into trying to make the prospect of Nigel Farage becoming Prime Minister appear to be anything other than a ludicrous joke. Here’s why www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/nigel-fara...

When political reporters and pundits sneer at 'identity politics,' what they're really saying is "we agree with Republicans that the only people who are allowed to practice identity politics are conservative straight white people."

Pretty much every other email I get from the Telegraph is about how to avoid tax more effectively.

Four years of ‘Hunter Hunter Hunter Hunter’ and this is what we get the moment Republicans retake power. The president appointing his son-in-law’s former convict father, who he earlier pardoned, to a prestigious US government job abroad for which he has zero qualifications.

I lost this ring in the toilets in Bounce in Farringdon tonight. It’s hardly worth anything, but it’s a ring my dad gave my mum and it’s priceless to me now that he’s not here. It’s gold, with a diagonal band of green stones on it. If you find it can you please get it back to me

Starmer cannot survive this

Difficult to describe what a dangerous moment we are in. The owner of Twitter/richest man in the world/closest adviser to the next US president is promoting a far-right Tommy Robinson (!) documentary to his 200 million followers. This is the mainstreaming of violent, Islamophobic fascism.

This is a very important point. Please let everyone know.

Jeremy Clarkson, who owes his fame & fortune in large part to the BBC, sneers at the brilliant @vicderbyshire.bsky.social for being ‘classic BBC’ when she uses *his own words* to describe his position.

Conservative MP Alex Burghart, whose leader stood on a stage yesterday to defend Jeremy Clarkson and James Dyson's right to hang on to their multimillion pound inheritances, now furiously complaining about the Government handing pay rises to public sector workers.

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

Will Hutton talking sense www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

De-prioritising X… That felt really good.

I see that a collection of MPs have taken it upon themselves to “launch” a private prosecution, in relation to a case which is still awaiting a CPS charging decision. What might be the problems with this? 🧵

Im not sure the New York Post has yet made it to @bsky.app so worth posting this opinion piece slamming the latest cabinet picks - from a hugely invested/ Trump friendly paper

Set here

Toronto sky is on fire.

“This is about tribes now, make no mistake.” Trump has already confirmed several members of his future administration, and they’re all MAGA “believers”.
