To be ignored. Not to do so is to be complicit in the corrupt dealings of govt and tech/media companies that explains its existence

Macron’s allies say it plainly: Brexit is why Starmer is weak with Trump.

Inside the EU, you have leverage, a market of 460m and a trade bazooka.

Outside it, you urge calm while others decide.

Brexit left Britain weak and Trump knows it.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social seen this one yet?

This is some of the craziest shit I've ever seen

CoolAid salesman, still convinced he’s helped people, complains of dwindling customer base

Elon Musk’s green light for paedophilia First Musk embraced the global hard right and now, by failing to limit images of child sexual abuse on X, he has added child abusers to his list of fellow travellers

Elon Musk has managed to make X the preferred social network for racists, harassers, conspiracy theorists and now child abusers.

But more than that, he’s made politicians nervous to step in even on issues as clear-cut with the public as these.

The fact that a man like Farage who praised Putin, made himself Mr Brexit, and campaigned for Trump is considered anything other than a crank is a fairly damning indictment of the political climate in Britain.

2 predictions for 2026:

- New Harry Styles Album ✅

- Christian Nationalism goes mainstream in the UK

War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength…

Dry January? In this global security situation?

X still allowing users to post sexualised images generated by Grok AI tool Despite restrictions announced this week, Guardian reporters find standalone app continues to allow posting of nonconsensual content

Of course it is! Pathetic weakness and naivete to just accept X's word for it - still less that all their other challenges to UK law can be given a bye. Just laughing at the British.

NEW: Big, big news in Westminster for the Conservative Party. Kemi Badenoch has not only sacked but removed the whip from Robert Jenrick, saying he was planning to defect.

Despite years of "economic anxiety" discourse, the core drivers of Trump support have always been bigotry and misinformation.

EXCL: Wes Streeting has asked Jonathan Haidt, a bestselling author and high-profile advocate of banning social media for under-16s, to speak to officials in his push for UK to consider following Australia's landmark ban -

Banning social media for kids may be good or bad but that guy is a comically obvious bullshit artist with entire books full of trite lessons extrapolated from anecdotes that are themselves barely half-true.

I see we're using "expert" to mean "old white guy with no qualifications or evidence but buckets of confidence" again. That certainly hasn't gone horribly wrong every single previous time.

Fuck this guy he’s not an expert, if you understand science at all you should understand this man is not a scientist.

Wes Streeting asks US expert Jonathan Haidt to address officials on social media ban for under-16s Exclusive: Health secretary issues invitation in push for UK to consider copying landmark restrictions in Australia

Every time this man gets mentioned this needs repeating: HE IS A RIGHT WING GRIFTER NOT A SCIENTIST. He believes there’s an academic conspiracy against the political right and creates research to vindicate these underrepresented ideas not to find truth.

Ah. Shameless self-interest every time. He’ll fit right in.

Time for Europe to say "Very well, alone!".

Sorry, Trump and Farage – London is no lawless ‘warzone’. Violent crime is lower than ever | Sadiq Khan Reform’s new candidate for mayor claims people pity Londoners for living in an unsafe capital. But the evidence is clear: we’re making our streets safer, says mayor of London Sadiq Khan

Last year, we reached the lowest per capita homicide rate in recorded history - not by chance, but as a result of our tough action on violent crime and our preventative approach.

We’re on the right path. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Grok turns off image generator for most users after outcry over sexualised AI imagery X to limit editing function to paying subscribers after platform threatened with fines and regulatory action

maybe i'm being dense but seems like you can still create abusive or exploitative sexual content via Grok, but you have to pay for the privilege? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
