Professional clickerer and presser of buttons. I count stuff in London. Things that make me ick: Trump, Putin, Brexit, Elon, Farage, the Tories, cults and above all, liars. The truth matters.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

A bad sign indeed. Roger Stone has been involved in right-wing ratfuckery since Nixon and was—like Trump—mentored by Roy Cohn.

In every post since 2016, Trump always refers to the NYT as “the failing NYT” even though it remains highly profitable 10 years later. They made $1.4 billion profit over the last 12 months. But they are still “failing” in MAGA World.

I often think, just fuck it, and let #Reform and #Farage into Downing Street.

It is where we are heading.

The mess would be unimaginable. Brexit was/is a disaster. Just let them all do what they want be done with it.

We would emerge a better country.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Peter Mandelson sold Government secrets to foreign agents for personal profit.

He doesn't need to be thrown out of the House of Lords, he needs to be thrown in jail.

oh I've written about this before! one of the big problems with people developing those assumptions is also that they become entirely unable to then engage with normies who represent like.....98% of the population, and whose beliefs are formed on a much more case-by-case basis
The problem with social media is that you’re only allowed to hold opinions in batches. If you believe X and Y, you must also believe Z, which is atmospherically similar to X and Y and believed by all the same people.

If you don’t do this, everyone hates you. It makes actual thinking impossible.

🔥 AUTHOR MICHAEL WOLFF: “This is the 3rd or 4th time Trump threatened to sue me… I believe if the 🇺🇸 public knew the real nature of Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein they would turn away in revulsion and horror. So sue me.”

I was referring to Starmer and not the awful and apparently traitorous #PeterMandelson.
Very good. What in the heck was he thinking?

The raid is part of an ongoing investigation into X's algorithm for potential algorithmic bias. It expanded to include Grok after reports of deepfakes, explicit content, and data issues. X calls it an attack on free speech.

Carole Cadwalladr, John Sweeney and Anne Applebaum are some of my journalistic heroes. They have a moral compass and are sticking to it.

For many others, their needle wavers due to money and corruption.

Someone just liked this and it reminded me that we need more of the below in the UK.

Brave.
We need the same brave and incisive investigative reporting here in the UK. Mads Brügger is a fearless filmmaker, in the vein of Werner Herzog, whose previous work includes "Cold Case Hammarskjöld" and "The Mole: Undercover in North Korea."
