Malignant forces are trying to take down democratic countries, and stymie economic growth unless for personal growth. And I have to worry about e-learning for work. What is the point?

The truth about impartiality at the BBC And the hysteria of the current "crisis"

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

New piece from me.

Systemic bias is that just for left leaning or right leaning as well?

So is the Telegraph looking for an Alt American buyer?

So examples of alleged left wing bias will always be investigated and punished, while the plethora of right wing bias won't. Am I correct?

Cmon Ed,Tim Davie wasn’t decent.He helped to platform BJ as a credible PM.He pushed a culture of protecting the Tories through biased coverage. He normalised racism,xenophobia+populism by featuring Farage+Reform at all times,often at the expense of Greens/Libs on QT. BBC’s a joke & Davie’s complicit

I don't think Rachel Reeves should resign over her rental licence mix-up. But I do think that if high powered MPs can get away with issues just by apologising, so should ordinary people in identical circumstances.

🇬🇷 Happy Oxi Day, Greece!

Ukrainian journalist Viktoria Roshchyna has been posthumously awarded the Oxi Courage Award by The Washington Oxi Day Foundation for her bravery and determination. Roshchyna, who was killed while in Russian captivity, had also been posthumously awarded the Order of Freedom by President Zelenskyy.

Good morning!

A quick reminder to all Greek Americans: 85 years ago our people taught us the importance of saying NO.

Honor them this October 28th, Oxi Day by saying NO to fascism here in the United States.

The ‘Anti-Woke’ Tax That All Americans Are Paying Better broke than woke, right?

great piece from @adamserwer.bsky.social on the “anti-woke” tax that americans now pay as a result of conservative identity politics run amok.

Aren't they both just the cutest?

Reptile fact:
Tortoises have been to the moon! 🐢🚀🌙
In 1968, cosmonaut tortoises were sent on an orbit of the moon, before coming home perfectly fine, if a little hungry

I’m sure they didn’t mean to eliminate the woman in this image.

ICE Wants to Build Out a 24/7 Social Media Surveillance Team Documents show ICE plans to hire dozens of contractors to scan X, Facebook, TikTok, and other platforms to target people for deportation.

NEW: ICE is planning to hire a team of nearly 30 people to surveil social media 24/7, build dossiers on people, and flag them for arrest and deportation. @dell.bsky.social has the scoop: www.wired.com/story/ice-so...

Journalism that fails to infuse a historically informed lens is akin to covering the smoke but never asking who lit the fire. History-centered journalism should be the framework within every newsroom.

Exactly what we need: careful, considered, funny intelligence squaring up to our catastrophic, deadly, age of stupid (with Arendt's help).

Excellent piece @will-davies.bsky.social

The new conspiracism – all accusation, no evidence – substitutes social validation for scientific validation: if a lot of people are saying it, to use Trump’s signature phrase, then it is true enough.”

“The new conspiracism dispenses with the burden of explanation. Instead, we have innuendo and verbal gesture … not evidence but repetition …

Good to see that the Department of Defense has now rebranded itself again, and is now the Department of Tackling Obesity.

The administration has two main impulses: kleptocracy and reactionary ideology. The kleptocrats just want to squeeze as much money as possible out of the government. The reactionaries are utopians who think that if they roll back the enlightenment then power and prosperity will magically happen.

I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now. Donald Trump is a senile old codger, standing before the United Nations, reading a speech clearly written by an alt right lunatic and a bunch of oil and gas lobbyists. Well done, U.S. voters. You really fucked this one up.

Predictable spin on today’s ugly announcement from our fash-hungry media.

Shelley on the Regency Fête 19th June 1811: "What think you of the bubbling brooks and mossy banks at Carlton House? asked Shelley. It is said that this entertainment will cost £120,000. Nor will it be the last bauble which the nation must buy to amuse this overgrown bantling of Regency." Apt

The Great Regency Fête of 1811 - Historic UK On 5 February 1811, George, Prince of Wales, was declared Regent of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. One of George’s first acts as Regent was to throw a grand party...

"The Regent made his entrance wearing the uniform of a field-marshall, which he was entitled to wear because he had recently appointed himself a field marshall."🤣
