Huh. I thought the attacks were to *help* the Iranians. How weird.

Oh dear, guess your party shouldn’t have tried to steal the house by insisting on a redistricting arms race, I guess

You’re looking good for it!

Every single time a new outlet feels compelled to interview an unremarkable billionaire they should pause and ask themselves if there isn't an under-represented artist, scientist, activist, engineer, or academic actually doing useful/interesting things that's more deserving of your readership's time

I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"

I cosign this thread.

It’s a fair point. You can’t really surrender if it’s not a war.

I have a theory with Labour now and the Democrats in the last election - progressive voters are okay with compromise in lots of areas, but all have at least *one* issue they can't move on, whether it's climate, or LGBTQA+ rights, or Gaza etc. So if you compromise on all of them, you're fucked.

I mean, it would be better late than never, but I'll be honest with you, I think it might already be too late. You can't rebuild that level of trust in two months. I'm not sure you can rebuild it in three years. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Background Actor in PSAs?

Very sensible

Yeah and it didn’t come up with the one thing that I predicted the second they showed the map.

She is so good.

It was great, right?! Not sure you’d know that if you watched the YouTube reviews, but I loved it.

Was a bit shaky on Starfleet Academy at the beginning of the season, but it’s come together more and more and I’m really into it now. That penultimate episode that just came out was pretty damn gripping. And I’ve come to like the characters a lot!

“I have usernames older than you.”.
Holy shit

Also, not being weird, how archaic. The UK is wildly secular right now and getting less religious by the year. And it’s inaccurate since all western civilizations derive from Indo-European language and are descended from Africans.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Trump says this is now the most competent, qualified person in America to be in charge of Homeland Security. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Isn’t this Britain’s sticky toffee pudding?

From FT comments

Jesus Christ. Truly this is an anti-war President who does not want to get the US into any conflicts. Right? Right?

He didn’t say that. Not a quote from him.

Huh.

Okay how about stopping attacking Iran and getting rid of the tariffs?
