@mrjamesob.bsky.social My mum says she wishes she’d never saved any money!

“What is it mein Fuhrer?” “It’s from Steve Witkoff. He’s nominated me for the Nobel Peace Prize.”

@mrjamesob.bsky.social When AI has taken all the jobs and no one has an income - who will be buying all the consumer shite that keeps the whole ponzi scheme going? What will millions of poverty stricken people do with their time I wonder??

For 10 weeks, we asked five AI chatbots the same questions every day. None repeated the core misinformation they were tested on, but they reported proposals as law, quoted outdated figures and gave different answers on different days. Our first report: fullfact.org/ai-benchmark...

This is fun. The Critic Magazine - funded by some right wing billionaire, has teamed up with another criminally convicted right billionaire, to investigate Jason Arday (rather than their two writers prosecuted for sex offences). Oligarch media, and la trahison des clercs

OK, there is something very, very weird going on in the press right now. It certainly appears, from the outside, as if certain people are being very much protected in a way that was not afforded to certain other people! Let's start with the facts around Lola Salem... 🧵1/

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

The President of the United States taking the piss out of a mentally ill man who died just a couple of days before. Frankly, I expected nothing less from this sociopathic arsehole.

Update on the ceasefire Trump announced this morning.

Same.

The man with artificial hair, teeth, doctor’s reports, lifts in his shoes, scalp reduction surgery, a girdle, and a painted orange face claims we’re his enemy if we use the word “artificial.”

@LBC - just love listening to rich woman moaning about how she doesn’t have enough money to spend on her new extension or whatever!

The person responsible for carrying out the totally independent investigation into Reform and clearing the party of all wrongdoing has been identified.

Only Reform will take £5 million bribes, accept illegal foreign donations, let convicted fraudsters bankroll them, buy houses in their girlfriend's name to avoid tax, help crypto billionaires get richer and do fuck all for ordinary people. 😊

Spoiler: Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey will decide that the U.S. taxpayer should give Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey billions of dollars.

I'm so very sad to hear of the death of Esther Ranzen who played an important role in reuniting me with Nicky Winton - the man who saved my life. It's so desperately sad that she couldn't choose assisted dying as was her wish.

The Conservative Party debated for a couple of hours and decided that no, they are not a serious party. Inevitably.

I checked Hansard to see how many times Farage has warned parliament about Iranian agents coming into the UK...

Security services are still trying to gather information on a potential huge terrorist incident. This is a critical time for them. Nigel Farage is publicly criticising them for not releasing information. He knows the law, he knows they cannot. He is palpably unfit for public office.

@martincdyer.bsky.social A cousin on Bluesky!!!

Don't worry Jess, once Reform are in power you will have no employment rights at all, which should make the process of sacking you much simpler and less upsetting. 😁

Labour is giving families breathing space – opening new school-based nurseries, offering parents 30 hours of government-funded childcare and bringing back the best of Sure Start with Best Start Family Hubs. Reform UK are closing nurseries. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just been listening to Charlie Mullins saying that he'll only return to Britain if Farage becomes PM. Labour should put that on their election leaflets.

Trump banned Politico from the White House because it ran “negative” stories from a leaker. And that leaker was JD Vance.

The BBC has been showcasing the views of oil tycoon Jim Ratcliffe in every news show for the last 24 hours, noting that he's "one of Britain's richest men". Shouldn't this be "one of Monaco's richest men"? How about similar airtime for (say) one of Britain's poorest women?

Farage being deliberately misleading by pretending the Govt have only announced that the donations cap will be retrospective as a response to Refuk's recent £76m. In reality, Govt made clear in March that the cap would apply from then. Perhaps if Farage sat in the House more he would have known...

Yes, I'm pretty sure everyone can see what's happening. Rich, privately, educated entitled tossers who could not be more part of The Establishment do not think they ought to have to play by the rules.

Danny Kruger agrees that wealthy men don't need our help, in a devastating blow to his own policy of abolishing inheritance tax. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

So much of the right these days have a massive patriotism problem. This guy: - is a tax exile (left long before this govt) - hates his own country while complaining he doesn’t get big enough subsidies from it - laments the manufacturing hit from a Brexit he supported www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Spot on.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Have you read any Iain M Banks Culture books? The man was a visionary and anticipated AI God decades ago….

Like how Mark Zuckerberg did such a great job protecting our kids on Facebook and Instagram? Please.

I'm proud to represent the interests of the man in the street. The street is in Thailand and the man is Christopher Harborne.

Helen Whately on Sky News: "We want to bring down the tax burden on working people. Kemi has asked her economic unit for a fiscally responsible way to bring down inheritance tax, another tax that hits hard working people hard." One of the dumbest people in politics. Liz Truss levels of stupid.

Protesters at the Irish Open. shitler’s international golf links and hotel Doonbeg, Ireland. Thank you, Doonbeg!

Hmm. Do I prefer the woke, inclusive patriotism of the Last Night of the Proms or a public schoolboy shouting “do you support the grandmothers?” at someone who has had to squeeze past a group of flag wavers bellowing from a road bridge?

Reform is owned by a few money laundering crypto billionaires. Farage is their greedy little broker. Happy to sell our country out to make even more money for the global tax-avoiding super-rich. Screw everyone else. Screw our rights. Screw our kids’ futures. www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/reform-uk-...

As Ben Delo's record £36m Reform donation is headline news, I can't emphasise enough that the media ought to be reporting on Delo's heinous funding of antisemitic conspiracy theorists in the High Court – anonymous contributors to the horrifying neo-Nazi account shown below. bsky.app/profile/luke...

Billionaires who don't pay taxes give tens of millions of pounds to the racist right while newspapers owned by billionaires who don't pay taxes smear the politicians who challenge them. Because they want to ensure 'a fair fight and a level playing field', apparently.

What I love about Western democracy is you can bung a political party £ 36 million earned from criminal activity & most media will continue to point at asylum seekers & migrant care workers with families as the barbarians at the gate we need to defend ourselves from 🙄.

Crypto billionaire. Convicted in the US. Pardoned by Trump. Trashing our democracy by buying Reform. Does anyone think this is to improve our NHS, our schools, our public services…? Of course it fucking isn’t. It’s to make Ben Delo and Farage richer. That’s it. That’s all they care about.
