So: not alive, but capable of iterating and pursuing agendas in their own interest and against ours? Fantastic. I can’t work out if we just created techno-zombies or megaviruses. Either way, top work, lads. Have a few billion and an apocalypse.

No country in their right mind should sign a trade deal with the US that involves agriculture

A Hong Kong court sentenced Jackie Chen, a prominent social worker, to three years and nine months imprisonment for rioting during the city's 2019 pro-democracy protests, following a retrial reut.rs/4j34Wk8

Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art. As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky? This was “The Maid” by Wilhelm August Lebrecht Amberg, from 1862

"The threat of #German citizens being stripped of their citizenship for political opinions – for example, for expressing views about the war in #Gaza – risks creating a chilling effect to quash views unpopular with the government." NEW comment @hrw.org: www.hrw.org/news/2025/04...

Women protesting the genocide in Gaza were arrested outside the Dáil, strip searched, and cavity searched. This is weaponised sexual violation used to punish and silence dissent. It’s state violence. It’s fucking disgusting.

Immigration is a good thing. It has brought enrichment, talent and energy to the country and, on a personal level, a family life. It's got to be managed, it's got to be fair, it's got to be humane and it's got to exist.

The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, says its bandwidth costs have gone up 50% since Jan 2024 — a rise they attribute to AI crawlers. AI companies are killing the open web by stealing visitors from the sources of information and making them pay for the privilege

Energy bills up 6.4% — while network providers raked in £4 billion in “excess” profits over four years. Water bills up 26% — while firms paid £78 billion in dividends since privatisation & racked up £64 billion in debt. End this scam. Bring water & energy into public ownership.

Seriously, if you worry that upholding the law might be politically bad for the 'optics‘, and could give a boost to the people you want nowhere near power, you have already given up on the principles you claim to be defending.

I just love this. The frustration that the UK political system causes me (1st past the post, FFS!) dissipates when I see good people being silly for good causes

In a crucial ENVI committee vote this evening, the S&D managed to narrowly block an attempt by the right to cut vital EU funds to NGOs fighting for climate action and the environment. We keep up the pressure as the EU Commission cannot backtrack on its support for these organisations. @woelken.eu

Protesters in Tel Aviv last night holding images of children in Gaza that were killed by the IDF since it renewed the bombings.

Severe weather is affecting the Greek islands of Paros and Mykonos, turning roads into raging torrents. Vehicle movement has been prohibited on both islands due to dangerous conditions.

Detesto este modelo de trabajo en el que todo se lo piden a uno por WhatsApp y para ya. Todo lo del trabajo lo deberían solicitar por correo y con antelación. Para que uno pueda organizarse y planear. Estamos trabajando en el modelo reactivo más ansioso posible.

Waiting in hospital for an exam, sitting next to several people coughing and sneezing, I am shocked by the lack of air filtration (windowless room). Nothing learnt from the COVID pandemic.

🌊 We took the UK Govt to court this week over its reckless approval of oil & gas licences in marine protected areas. There’s been a TIDAL SURGE of support & we want to thank the incredible folks who made it possible. 🙏🔽

- the landfill receives waste from the region's oil refineries - water leaching from it into wetlands found to contain 25x "safe" levels of mercury - people living nearby report health conditions including children "born without parts of the brain and skull" www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

This is a really good thread:

What the actual fuck.

Normalize accuracy: They bombed Gaza, not Hamas. They bombed Yemen, not Houthis. They bombed Lebanon, not Hezbollah. If they blew up Pensacola, we'd be pretty pissed if it was coded as an attack on the military just because there's military living there.

This is one of the best visuals I’ve ever seen to illustrate how our choices today shape our climate future

A rite of passage: riding a train in Germany and of course it's delayed because the tracks are on fire

One of the joys of not having grown up in the UK is that I get to discover Pulp in my late 30s
