Oh, wow...How was this written in 1909? Incredible. The prescience of so many writers from the turn of the 20th century never ceases to amaze me. Especially because many people don't think about this stuff even now! #BookSky #Books #E.M.Forster #Sci-Fi #Dystopia #AI #Reading

Wow. China just called out the Trump administration for blatantly lying about the existence of any ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and China.

It’s THEATRICAL THURSDAYS! Each week, a new film to watch, ponder, and discuss. Today’s recommendation is THE MOON IS DOWN, the 1943 film adaptation of the John Steinbeck book. When Fascism comes suddenly to a small town people find out who they really are and what they’re really made of.

By "free speech," the Americans mean creating a media environment in your country dominated by American digital fascism preparatory to right-wing regime change. Vance essentially said as much in Munich. Give in now, forget about sovereignty later. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

It got warm in March, I lost control of my senses, walked around underdressed, got sunburnt and then got annihilated by freezing winds on the coast. Can I get my citizenship now? 🇬🇧 🇬🇧⌚⌚ #English #British #Gammon

And indeed, we in Europe hated #Vance way before he hated us, and for the fact, we disliked the US as a state way before he was even born! Britain really needs to get its shit together and stop obsessing about the US! 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦 🇨🇦🇬🇱 #FuckTheUS #FuckTheFascists #FuckTrump #FuckMusk #Greenland #Resist

What a shit show. And of course Truss retweeted it with some gibberish nonsense about a leftists conspiracy. What a strange world we live in. It's like being on psychedelics. But not in a good way...

So let’s have a little look at the Right wing media feeding off its own ecosystem. Here’s @TiceRichard claiming NET ZERO caused the Heathrow shut down, while sharing a Telegraph article that appears to back up his claim Must be true then, right?? 🧐you know the drill… 🧵 1/

As an EU national, I absolutely agree with @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com that we need to hear more about Europe in our news. Never understood why we have to hear about every fart that comes from America but be kept completely ignorant about countries on our continent...
