In the UK we are facing an unprecedented coalition of hostile states, enormously wealthy far-right individuals prepared to spend many hundreds of £millions to swing elections & a media & social media ecosystem which they almost entirely control - we are simply not ready youtu.be/8ap3DObeNEs?...

Lindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man to understand. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made. steveschmidt.substack.com/p/lindsey-kn...

I just learned that data centers don't even NEED to use all the water they're guzzling up. It's all because the people making them refuse to make proper cooling loops, but it's cheaper to just turn all that water into waste. What the actual fuck. Want for efficiency is dead apparently.

Mamdani: When I am speaking about AIPAC, I’m speaking about an organization that has fought any attempt to actually deliver safety to people not just in Palestine but, frankly, throughout much of the region. And it is a status quo of immorality. It is one that I will not accept.

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

Not going to lie, the overload of class, dignity, intelligence, humility and grace today at the Obama Presidential Center made me really emotional and angry. It displayed how much US society has fallen.

Obama: "We've got a set of institutions that have fallen victim to the siren song of 'everything is about money, everything is about attention, everything is about getting over.' But meanwhile, there are just a lot of people out doing the right thing, raising their families, & taking care of people"

Every single one of us should get this on our radars. This is one of these apex issues which impacts so much else. We've seen what happens in the US. #auspol

Amazing story this morning on AM about a conservative legal organisation, the Samuel Griffiths Society, lobbying the govt on High Court judge appointments. AG Michelle Rowlands refused to comment. Lobbying govt for judicial appointments should be illegal.

Nothing to see here, just the son of the President marrying the daughter of the accountant of a notorious child sex trafficker who was best friends with the groom's father. Oh, wait, you didn't know Junior's current new wife is the daughter of Jeffrey Epstein's accountant?

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

Australia talks with Singapore, South Korea, Japan, a combination of goodwill and self interest seems to ensure they’ll continue to deliver oil and we’ll continue to deliver gas without price gouging. The US caused this disruption, it’s our real allies in Asia we turn to for security. #AusPol
