Should the New York Times be sold to Pennysaver and its editors sent to work in Amazon warehouses? It depends on who you ask.

Jared Kushner being involved in this deal should concern everyone

"[I want to] be ready here in New York, and let's be smart. They're going to send in ICE in New York. They are going to do things that are illegal and unconstitutional, but let's not overreact." - Andrew Cuomo said in June after Trump deployed National Guard troops to Los Angeles

Cuomo on how he’d handle Trump sending troops into NYC:

Oh they’ll violate the constitution and break the law and violate civil rights and terrorize people but let’s not get all dramatic about it.

Do all centrists have to quote Sam Feeedman by law? Or is it by religion

Nice one! Hope it goes well

Rory Challands: "[Keir Starmer] says that some people have been using Palestine solidarity demos to call for the murder of Jewish people, though he doesn't actually provide any examples of where or when this took place"

The amount of e-waste created by Microsoft's policy to drop support for certain CPUs in Windows 11 is basically a crime against humanity.

Until people start talking about this I’m not interested in their opinions about October 7th. This should be part of the narrative about what happened, not Hamas killed 1200.

another thing Weiss does is give other very dull people a vehicle to spout bog-standard right-wing ideas and pretend they're being iconoclasts or innovative.

It may say it’s voluntary but it’s an absolute necessity for medical services, tax procedures and residential status. I tried to not get it but there’s no way around it

If you enabled the Starmer Party, are you still proud of yourself?

#GTTO, centrist wankers

Screenshot of an Express article; it says: Robert Jenrick lists 30 'activist judges' he vows to axe in war on UK's open border In a bold move, Robert Jenrick is set to unveil a controversial plan targeting what he calls 'activist' judges, at the Conservative Party conference.

I say this with the bluntness it requires: they will get people murdered if this continues. This is not just populism anymore either: it’s completely unhinged and a deliberate choice that does endanger lives. I am not saying this lightly at all.

Maybe @rmcunliffe.bsky.social could give him a minute of her time

BBC Laura Kuenssberg Show Accused of Anti-Green Bias After Cancelling Zack Polanski Interview The new Green Party leader was the only major party leader not to have been granted a conference interview on the flagship BBC show

Hope you’re enjoying your lovely Labour

Can somebody please explain why this totally unelected ‘board’ appear to think they have so much sway in relation to public life? It’s fucking bizarre

Keep ‘em coming!!!

Say what you will about Labour but it’s the laser focus on the big issues that really earns my respect

Here’s the video from that post. This is the sound the Israelis on Telegram are giving 👍 and 🔥 reactions to.

Another case in point:

More adults in more rooms needed

This is how I feel when I see Ian Dunt on the television

I think there are far too few political podcasts by journalists and I welcome this one into the belatedly growing flock

More pith should sort it

Bill Burr Defends Performing at Controversial Riyadh Comedy Festival: “They’re Just Like Us” The actor-comedian details his experience at the event: "Definitely one of the top three experiences I've ever had ... I think it's going to lead to a lot of positive things."

The Saudis didn’t pay big money for famous American comedians because they were super eager for comedy, they paid for PR like this.
