President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Make this @OfficialUoM press release viral “Trump … echoed Kremlin talking points, by falsely claiming …Zelensky’s approval rating stands at a mere 4%…polling…puts his approval rating at 63% - making him the most popular politician in the country.” www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/t...

Trump is losing his rag because Zelensky isn't backing down. He needs Zelensky to back down. So support Zelensky.

Is this a deliberate attempt to confuse people so they don't understand what's actually being said, or is it just the kind of language you get when you put ‘business’ people in charge of things? I think the translation is: ‘We agreed to work together to get what we both want at any cost.’

I know I’m in a minority thinking that politicians in the UK & EU need to start telling a much more positive story about the benefits of migration, but in an aging continent it is quite urgent www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

It really can't be stated enough how the AI craze is rooted deeply in utter vitriolic disrespect for the working class. Like I've seen multiple cases of this tech being marketed directly on sticking it to us filthy poors who want things like "benefits" and "fair pay for our labor"

Tim Stanley, in what now appears to be a weekly slot on one or other BBC flagship politics programme, reels off a huge amount of absolute, provable nonsense about immigration. And he does so completely unchallenged. Enough now. ~AA A MEGA-THREAD 🧵1/

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards." Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

Can never understand the logic of "slippery slope" arguments when we have a system where the House of Commons decides nearly everything. It's only a slippery slope if in the future the Commons changes its mind on something- which guess what, it can do at any time.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

Until relatively recently, almost everyone in England who consumed news read just one national newspaper a day - all of them with a definite and consistent worldview. There was the BBC, but its ideological take was muted. So away with your "we're all heading into an echo chamber" rubbish.

Brilliant episode of @quietriotpod.bsky.social from @sturdyalex.bsky.social Love the idea of journalists reading the register of members' interests feeling like they're Woodward and Bernstein, and the image of Lady Starmer wearing a pair of old M&S knickers as a hat 🤣 One of my new fave podcasts.

Zero fare transit improves the experience of all riders by making boarding frictionless, it also improves the safety of drivers and transit personnel by removing fare conflicts. Transferring spending from fare enforcement to funding zero fare is straightforward.

Very striking how much of a gap has opened up between left and right in concern over immigration. Look at the average and it’s “Britons are getting pretty concerned about immigration”. Split by party and it becomes “Some Britons are now extremely concerned about immigration, others much less so”.

@gruber.foo Every time you mention macOS in a blog post I keep meaning to ask why you write it MacOS. You’ve normally got interesting takes when you deviate from Apple’s style, so I’m intrigued about why you choose to capitalise it.

This is terrific. If anything, O'Donnell doesn't stress enough just how incoherent Trump's babbling was, like an unprepared 8th grader standing up in front of class trying to fumble their way through a book report for a book they didn't read.

No one wants your voice note. Type your message in a text. Then we can read it quickly or skim read to get the gist and read later. We don't need a soliloquy performance with your chosen intonation. You're explaining when you'll get here not addressing a wartime nation.

Seems like a good time to remind everyone of one of the best headlines of the last decade: "British scientists don't like Richard Dawkins, finds study that didn't even ask questions about Richard Dawkins"
