Cutting disaster relief - and at the worst possible time. Such performative cruelty speaks volumes of the psychology of those involved in this.. #Myanmar

Nintendo pulls Switch 2 pre-orders in US over Trump tariffs. MAGA cult: I didn't expect face eating tigers to eat my face. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Some short and basic notes on how political cults work.

Quickly checked X to see how MAGA cult reacting to stock market crash due to Trump's tariffs. Naturally, they're supporting him and see Wall Street as part of a radical left wing conspiracy to undermine Trump, which is further evidence of Trump's tactical genius.

Like many in the media, Russell Brand is an attention-seeking, self-promoting idiot who desperately needs the oxygen of publicity. His was a journey of self-radicalisation, from mostly harmless leftist oddball, to holding on-stage prayers for Donald Trump, while also selling "wellness" amulets.

Florida just elected Randy Fine, an openly racist, genocidal maniac. youtube.com/watch?v=xCQN...

Israel has rebranded schools as "military command and control centers" and has killed dozens more civilians, including a heavily pregnant woman with twins, her sister and her three children. Savages. #Gaza www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just heard one economist describe Trump as a "deranged game show host reading made up numbers off a sheet of paper!" #Tariffs

Trump's tariffs are the actions of a declining superpower that is staking a huge gamble on one last throw of the dice, shaking up the world order. Winners: hedge funds, ultra rich Losers: almost everybody else

Good to hear @femi-oluwole.bsky.social put some basic facts out in front of a MAGA cult follower, even if the predictable response is, "Our Glorious Leader can do no wrong." #Tariffs youtube.com/watch?v=6Z0T...

Sad to read of the passing of Val Kilmer. The Doors has always been one of my favourite films and while Heat rightly got attention for Pacino and De Niro, the most interesting work in that film is Val Kilmer and the late Tom Sizemore. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Who would have thought that being a Nazi sympathiser would be bad for business? #Tesla #BoycottTesla www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Some basic facts on tariffs. The MAGA cult will cheer on Trump regardless, no matter that products and services are about to get a lot more expensive for them. #LiberationDay

Well done to the good people of Wisconsin, who have demonstrated that their voters cannot simply be bought or bullied. youtube.com/watch?v=rSxw...

Hilarious stand-up routine! 🤣 Humour is so personal and yet so universal. Malik brilliantly combines both. youtube.com/watch?v=Vy96...

Speech from @owenjones.bsky.social denouncing (amongst other things) the failed business as usual, trickle down theory of wealth creation, that Continuity Labour keeps promising will deliver prosperity, if only we (not the wealthy) tighten our belts first, yet again. youtube.com/watch?v=Fig1...

💯 true.

The vast majority of British voters, across the political spectrum, want water brought back in to public ownership. Privatisation has been a disaster. Essential public infrastructure is also a national security issue and shouldn't be controlled by private interests. youtube.com/watch?v=x5IZ...

There's a new #Doom on the way - but it won't be as good as Doom: Pregnancy Test, though! #DoomDarkAges youtube.com/watch?v=D5NT...

Not shocking - very much on-brand for Israel and its barbaric genocide. #Gaza

I love The Beatles but another four films, in addition to the hours of films and documentaries we've already got..? #Beatles www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'll show the family of Brian Thompson the same amount of sympathy he showed to sick people that he denied health care to. #Mangione #LuigiMangione www.bbc.com/news/article...
