Neatly put and I absolutely agree. Perhaps it's a bit tinfoil hat of me, but I do often sense 'I don't like the internet so log off, go outside, back to where *I* feel comfortable, you weird nerds' in the 'spend more time offline' crowd.

I want to do this next door so badly x

Israel kills father, daughter in Gaza as genocide continues amid wider war Suffering in Gaza and occupied West Bank remains acute as the world focuses on the US-Israeli war on Iran.

Amid all the other wars, the Gaza ceasefire is as fake as ever

A Eurosky Account is just the start The future of social media is about you not an app

The future of social media is about you, not an app. Why we started by launching Eurosky accounts and our plans for apps. Read on from @sherif.eurosky.social

The RW screeching is not working - just the opposite

"And we came within about 30 minutes of having a war." Israel tried to pressure Barack Obama to launch military strikes on Iran, according to former US secretary of state Antony Blinken, who said Israeli leaders warned they would attack themselves if Washington refused. Obama rejected the push for war, arguing the better approach to Iran's nuclear program was "very muscular diplomacy" backed by global sanctions rather than immediate military action. Blinken also revealed the US nearly entered another regional war after the October 7 attacks, when Israeli officials gave false information insisting Hezbollah was about to attack from Lebanon and pushed for a preemptive strike. According to Blinken, Washington came within about 30 minutes of a new conflict before the situation was halted.

Again: if you are a superpower and your crackpot, fascist-led client state has finally bullshat you into fighting its enemies for them, then that is *your* fault. You have owned yourselves.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7

If hormones, or puberty blockers, were so dangerous, nobody would be allowed them.

That some people are and that trans kids can even, notionally at least, stay on them if already prescribed, tells you all you need to know.

In my head I immediately heard “The nose is the hood ornament on the car that is your face”

Side note: it's wildly unclear the extent to which occasional bursts of online, left-wing frustration about Dems invoking faith (which happens a lot — Talarico arguably isn't even the most obvious case) *matter* in any real electoral sense.

Very publicly religious Dems win primaries all the time.

the best analysis money can buy and they’re all getting circles run around them by “orange man bad”

Hey, I’ve seen that one

Anatomy of a X/Twitter social media frenzy. One infulencer posted incessantly about the "Dublin Zoo Scandal" on Friday, it was picked up by other bad faith actors who ran with it. This is manufactured outrage by people who literally do not have anything better to do with their time than promote hate

Groenen winnen verkiezingen in VK en Duitsland. Maar het gaat in het nieuws vooral over de zetels voor ReformUK en AfD i

Vroeger ging het nieuws over wat er nieuw is. Dat is toch echt de opkomst van Groen....

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

Attacks leave dead vs killed

War must be going really bad for the US to already start setting up Israel to become the scapegoat for its failures and atrocities

US Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to Fox: “On Friday, there was $100 million of gold that came from Venezuela to the United States.

“The people of Venezuela are gonna be putting up a statue of Trump as a great liberator.”

Even though the entire regime was left in place and nothing changed.

“Article 2: The Forever Wake” has been out for almost 2 weeks now!

That’s 8 episodes of silly monster of the week improvised comedy chaos… in the 90s.

So @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social knows they blew up a school and destroyed the refinery and brought flaming boiling oil to the streets of Tehran and now it's RAINING OIL. This guy is a war criminal too. Line him up for trial.

Can we all see the irony of the guy with " keep men out of women's spaces" literally invading her personal space?
