The first thing the State Dept account did here was threaten to use Bluesky posts to strip people of visas and investigate non citizens.

That's a real threat against every Bluesky user and it's absurd the account isnt banned yet.

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality.
Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

Have a closer look at this, Stephen. Jenrick was born in 1982 and is a Wolves fan. If he was in the away end the only times they played there after he was aged two were in League Cup ties in 1989 and 1996 and in the PL in 2003. Like everything else this shapeshifter says, I don't believe a word.

Al Jazeera is doing videos of the Palestinian releases and they're heart wrenching. One man was detained for over a year and was released to find out that Israel had killed his two kids. The youngest was three. Her birthday would've been on Saturday. He'd made a small bracelet for her in prison.

A fun thing about uninsured cars: I can, at any moment, type a number plate into my phone and find out if a car is uninsured. police cars can, at any moment, automatically use ANPR to check the number plate of the car in front of them. It is illegal to combine these two capabilities

Donald Trump thinks he’s all powerful. It’s up to us to remind him on October 18th that he’s not.

We will show him who really has the power in this country — and we will do it peacefully. nokings.org

Elon Musk is a white nationalist. Anyone who needs more data points to reach this conclusion is beyond help or persuasion.

If you buy, rent, service, or supercharge a Tesla you are supporting the most powerful white nationalist on earth. Period.

Man arrested over murder of schoolgirl Lindsay Rimer in 1994 Lindsay Rimer, 13, was found dead five months after she went missing from Hebden Bridge in 1994.

I hope this results in a conviction and gives some closure to her friends and family.

Why is Starmer focusing so much on Farage? The prime minister’s real enemy isn’t Reform—it’s the state of the country

Starmer’s real enemy isn’t Farage, it’s economic stagnation, tax rises, botched Brexit, our overwhelmed NHS... Virtually none of which has been reversed since Labour took office last year, writes Andrew Adonis.

'His Numbers Don't Add Up': Jeremy Clarkson Launches Furious Attack On Nigel Farage "Before anyone can question his logic, he scuttles back to his safe space and starts raging about small boats."

Thank you, #BBCWest / #BBCBristol - it's good to see you can still do it.

A map of the east coast of South America, with several tracking lines, each representing a penguin. Jane Goodall’s line is highlighted in pale pink. There is also an inset with her facts and figures: body weight 4600g, tagged 25th April 2025, distance travelled 4769.3 km, average speed 2 kmh.

Today I learned there’s a penguin called Jane Goodall and she’s travelled 5000km since April.

Screengrab from an NYT opinion piece dated 10/11/2025: “Democrats have been pulling their hair out trying to figure out how to win back young men, who voted for Mr. Trump in droves. In a post-primary survey of likely New York voters, Mr. Mamdani was polling at 85 percent among men 18 to 34. That's not just Brooklyn hipsters and aura-farming nepo babies. It's a whole city's worth of young dudes, from small business owners in Queens to warehouse workers in the Bronx.”

The solutions are so obvious.

Mamdani is polling at 85% among men 18-34. 85%.

For anyone seeking the elusive male vote: I have an idea of how you could win it (but your corporate donors aren’t going like it).

A miracle they’re still alive. Elated for their families. Can’t help but think of all the hostages who would have also come home two years ago had Netanyahu chosen his own people over his thirst for war.

Farage's flights were paid for by GB News (where he as over for the channel's US launch). Very interesting trans-Atlantic ecosystem developing around media/free speech/radical right.

Watching the Bibi & Don Show treat this like some grand victory, while people returning to northern Gaza dig the rubble for loved ones' remains, is pretty revolting.
