The report, by the House of Lords’ UK Engagement with Space Committee, discloses that half of Britain’s satellites are now dependent on Musk’s company.

And this is exactly what I was saying about Mamdani. Yes, he emphasized policy, but there was also this overarching vision. And the two go hand in hand, perfectly compatible, with one tracing the outlines of the other.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

Apart from @bylinetimes.bsky.social and assoc publications Journalists have become extinct at BBC, SKY, ITV,Telegraph, Times etc etc

The next 12 months will be the most consequential for American politics since the 1850s. I don't say that glibly. We warned what would happen and they've done it and more. It appears we still have free elections, and so now they will now throw everything they have at us, a fascist kitchen sink.

You will never, ever satisfy the centre-right. There isn't any actual, material, clearly-defined goal they're seeking.

Their goal is to send everything onto the far-right travelator. Their dissatisfaction must by definition be permanent

Steve Bannon: β€œWell he’s gonna get a third term. Trump is gonna be president in β€˜28 and people ought to just get accommodated with that. At the appropriate time we’ll lay out what the plan is, but there’s a plan and President Trump will be the president in β€˜28.”

What Brett Sutton is saying now is nothing new. He was one of the few CHOs who openly stated that #COVIDisAirborne even in the early crisis years of the pandemic. This is an official Victorian Dept of Health video from 21 Dec, 2021.

Disruption across Italy as tens of thousands protest against Gaza war Schools and stations closed and ports blocked in one of Europe’s biggest demonstrations opposing Israel’s offensive

Incredible. Italy brought to a standstill as Italians descend to the streets to protest for Gaza. No business as usual. Schools closed. Businesses closed. Shameful on the rest of us.

Helen Clark saying it's very odd NZ are playing cards so close to the chest on Gaza, when UK/Canada/Aus have gone ahead. If they really do not join in, it's basically a full MAGA tilt and knee to Trump. Fancy that - NZ was the first country to give women the vote, and showed gut on Iraq. #nzpol

A child was bitten by a raccoon who’s confirmed or suspected to have rabies, and the anti vaxx mother doesn’t want her to have the vaccine.

The father posted looking for legal advice to save her life, and the post has been removed.

Rabies is 100% fatal. You don’t get the vaccine, you die.

Reminder that Charlie Kirk believed the 1964 Civil Rights Act was a mistake.

He fought against DEI and affirmative action.

He held deeply racist viewpoints.

He was not a civil rights leader.

If you want to fight censorship and stand up for free speech, cancel your Disney & Paramount subscriptions .

We must refuse to allow this level of censorship as it’s the hallmark of authoritarianism.

Put that money towards PBS, NPR, local radio and news stations and independent journalists.
