Elon Musk making a nazi salute

I have - in all seriousness - a retired European Commission Director General arguing on my LinkedIn that European Commissioners should keep posting on X as "could you chart the right policy course without being immersed in the whole range of the debate"

What bit of this from Musk does he not get?

everyone on bluesky: why do algorithms always boost dumb slop content, i would never

also everyone on bluesky: omg check out this amazing outrageous tiktok video but you have to watch RIGHT to the end!!!

Zarah Sultana voted with the Tories in every vote on the Employment Rights Bill last night.

That includes voting to keep the Lords' wrecking amendments on strike ballot thresholds and to keep the 2016 Trade Union Act's restrictions on unions' political funds.

And when those proposing or voting for such legislation who have degrees thus classified are happy to have the award rescinded. After all, it’s brought them nothing, what difference would it make?

The Tories say that all parties want to tackle child poverty.

Sadly, it's not true. Only Labour have taken action.

We'll drive the largest reduction of child poverty within a single Parliament.

Deeds, not words.

Nearly 350k migrant families could get extra welfare handouts thanks to Reeves NEARLY 350,000 foreign-born families could get extra welfare handouts because of Rachel Reeves’ Budget, analysis shows. And almost 200,000 of them are from just ten countries. Big immigrant familie…

The ‘could’ is doing a lot of work. Data refers to ALL foreign born parents NOT those on UC. Article admits as much but 34 paras in so 0% chance a reader will reach the admission: “It is impossible to say how many immigrant families will benefit from lifting the cap www.thesun.co.uk/news/3755544...

It's so funny to watch them periodically half-ass try the "Your body belongs to the Reich and it is your duty to keep it fit for the Fuhrer" stuff to their base of the laziest people in America whose idea of attending a political rally is to drive their trucks around a parking lot.

Just fucking incredible what you can get away, on either extreme of politics, with if you learn to pronounce the word "elites" with enough venom.

"Europe's warmongering in Ukraine"

Putin's useful fuckwit

A screenshot of a post on X by Yanis Varoufakis (@yanisvaroufakis). The post reads: “The White House’s new National Security Strategy is amazingly blunt about Europe’s warmongering in Ukraine. Here is a telling excerpt:” followed by a quoted passage: “The Trump Administration finds itself at odds with European officials who hold unrealistic expectations for the war perched in unstable minority governments, many of which trample on basic principles of democracy to suppress opposition. A large European majority wants peace, yet that desire is not translated into policy, in large measure because of those governments’ subversion of democratic processes.”

What is this high school debate shit?

Everyone wants peace!

Adults just realize that any peace which lasts beyond a Russian re-arming / recruitment cycle has to be on terms that don't reward Russia's initial invasion with land and legitimacy, and which meaningfully deter future aggression.

Texas, let’s win this thing.

Going to be fun watching them try to figure out a way to say "oh we didn't mean dual citizenship with a white country" without sounding like massive racists.

Tories using Elon's AI to generate policy now?

This kind of bottle-shaming is a not-so-subtle way to push women out of the workforce.

What an odd little man

Corruption threatens our national security, undermines legitimate business and steals money from working people’s pockets.

By deploying specialist law enforcement capabilities, we will disrupt the serious organised criminals, terrorists and kleptocrats.

What ‘AI Mark’ taught me about the realities of the new technology In a future that no one asked for, but many predicted, I took the plunge and turned myself into the first AI MP.

Goodbye AI Mark! The experiment has ended. Big thank you to my constituent, Jeremy Smith, for his voluntary work on the first-ever AI MP.

I’ve written some initial thoughts on the universally-loved virtual version of myself:

The EU has slapped a fine on Musk's X because it is untransparent and supports deceptive practices. Nothing to do with "censorship."

Politics that makes a difference Over half a million children, lifted out of poverty

“People will tell you politics doesn’t make a difference. But the difference on child poverty could not be clearer. Tory Govts let it rise. Labour Govts cut it. And we do so to give our children the fair start in life they deserve. That is a choice I am proud to make.”

We have always loved the early Star Wars lego games that I think we had on the PS2 originally. Partly the humour because they didn't have the voice acting so it was done through 'hmm, hmm' and knowing lego facial expressions.

Because they share Elon's goal to spread fascism to Europe via social media.

“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans are trying to distort and derail our fight for equality. They’re trying to turn it into something scary. Something sinister.” —former President Joe Biden at a LGBTQ rights forum

some days you just have to laugh at how unbelievably stupid everything is

this shit is just beyond parody, man

‘Donald Trump had no idea what the Rumbelows Cup was. We didn’t explain’ | Sachin Nakrani Trump appeared on Saint and Greavsie 25 years ago to help with the League Cup fifth-round draw. Ian St John reflects on the bizarre meeting with ‘daft Donald’

Donald Trump is attending today’s World Cup draw. He does so as a man with experience of this sort of thing. Yes, that’s right, it’s time to look back at that time he paired Leeds with Manchester United in the fifth-round of the 1992 Rumbelows Cup.

Oh yes, i agree. I was really getting at the fact the US team won't win the actual tournament (and from a Trump perspective there are a number of teams where it may actually annoy him if they do better than the US. But i can absolutely see him getting the real trophy!

Well he's certainly not winning the World Cup and nor is the US!
