I think it all started with The Taming of the Sonic Shrewdriver

Neil Young at Glastonbury 2025 - How to watch on TV and BBC iPlayer and listen on Radio and BBC Sounds Neil Young headlines The Pyramid Stage on Saturday night

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the amazing Neil Young show at Glastonbury tonight, rockin’ at my TV from my bed! A much needed break from all the horrors, hypocrisy & misery of the world these days

This is outrageous, the rule of law is being ignored. Brutal.

Loved this talk too #zizek

Yes, yes and yes in particular to:
"the return of free markets, markets that are free of information asymmetries, abuse of market power, lies and deceit...
coup-proofing - the concentration of power that digital technology enables puts us all at risk, lets fix it
the return of the non-screen state"

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa discusses state of U.S. democracy

You might like to see the interview PBS Newshour did yesterday with Filipino journalist Maria Ressa who was jailed under Duterte - it reflects exactly the playbook and themes we see playing out in America

Krasnov came for immigrants, now, lawyers and journalists

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Ressa discusses state of U.S. democracy

Nobel Peace Prize laureate & journalist Maria Ressa has long fought for global press freedom. Her book, "How To Stand Up To A Dictator," detailed her experience running the news site Rappler under the autocratic regime of President Duterte in the Philippines.

Arresting and threatening to deport students because of their participation in political protest is the kind of action one ordinarily associates with the world’s most repressive regimes. It’s genuinely shocking that this appears to be what’s going on right here. 1/

An inspiring article about how the German Left is using community building as a strategy to make a comeback.

Instead of dismissing people as racists, they've organised their collective to listen to their neighbours.

People don't hate migrants. They fear for their security and feel ignored.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Government is busy: but the media are not telling you Despite what the press tells us, the government is very busy, often doing popular things. But you wouldn’t know it from the press coverage

The government is busy - but the work is not being reported. From banning toxic pesticides to funding green jobs, here are 20 things that happened last week.

So Trump fired the TSA and FAA heads, froze all Air Traffic Control hirings, and disbanded the Aviation Safety Committee… and he’s trying to blame this crash on Biden??

The rampant mainstreaming of Islamophobia in UK conservatism, and the lack of anyone really even bothering to comment on it any more, is quite something

The Sun also reprinted the Telegraph lies about "illegal migrants".

They have corrected and deleted the article.

Still waiting to hear back from the Telegraph.

This is figure 1, which shows weighted means for trust in scientists across countries and regions (1 = very low, 3 = neither high nor low, 5 = very high).

What is the state of trust in scientists around the world? A study in Nature Human Behaviour reports on a survey of 71,922 respondents in 68 countries and finds that trust in scientists is moderately high. https://go.nature.com/3PLgKKU 🧪
