Please, in the name of humanity, I’m begging for your help.
I’m sick from the cold and the rain that flooded our home.
My children are freezing and hungry, and Nasser still needs his daily treatment.
Your support could save us tonight. ❤️‍🩹

when I hear Starmer speak about immigration and race he's spitting in the face of the Labour voters I knew growing up in Manchester, who put themselves on the line against the National Front - and often the police - in the 1970s and 1980s.
Ultimately the vision of britain that starmer has is profoundly cynical, nasty and just not true. He thinks that abidicating his responsibility in showing that another option is maturity and doing the difficult thing, but he's literally just creating the hateful country he is so afraid of

Donald Trump destroyed public service broadcasting in the US - it's little surprise Nigel Farage wants to do the same thing here.

Trump’s America, don’t let it become Farage’s Britain.

Thou shalt not forgive or forget all the evil things Marjorie Taylor Greene said and did. The main reason she is talking more ‘sane’ these days is because she wants to inherit the MAGA cult.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:

Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.

So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Duncan, a political newcomer and former prisoner, defeated incumbent Darren Lombard by a wide margin in Saturday's runoff.

Trump being DL was what did it for the MAGA folk? Not the rape, the lying, the unfulfilled campaign promises, misuse of funds, misogyny, threatened femicide, slow killing of our democracy, pedophilia, dementia, wild statements, tax evasion, and his birth?

NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst.

It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know.

There are only a few places on earth where thousand year old trees still stand. The west coast of Canada is one of them but every day they are logged.

People show me giraffes every day and I recognize them every time at a level we've never seen. It's amazing, and the experts, who are smart guys and even sometimes a smart gal, say they've never seen anything like it. Nobody recognized giraffes until I came along. Nobody was talking about giraffes.

The woke left want everything to "identify" as giraffes -- axolotls, geraniums, TV dinners, you name it. And vice versa! Make Axolotls Giraffes Again, that's the message. And, by the way, anyone who knows numbers will tell you fourteen is very nearly eighteen. Thank you for your attention!

One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.

100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.

That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.

How baseball was invented:
"Dave, I'm sick and tired of you and your stupid ball, if you show it me one more time I'm going to whack you in the face with this bat."
"Hey George, look at this ball."

Disclaimer: probably not how baseball was invented ;)

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.

I always liked @mhairiblack.bsky.social as an MP and was delighted to get her booked for our Nae Borders comedy night last night in Glee.

She is a tremendous stand-up comedian now, go and see her if you get the chance!

Also loved her t-shirt choice 😎
