NEW: last night, the US govt launched an assault on the ‘global censorship industrial complex’, aka European tech researchers/campaigners.

It’s a deeply chilling move & speaks as to why we need international solidarity more than ever.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

The russians have opened ticket sales for the Mariupol Drama Theater — the same place they bombed in 2022 w/ hundreds of people inside.

The first performance is scheduled for Dec 25. On the bones of Ukrainians, they plan to stage a "fairy comedy" titled A Gorgeous Wedding.

MI6 Chief gives speech. Speech may contain words that are interesting. But because MI6 Chief is a woman @telegraph.co.uk prints an article about her appearance, with no mention of the speech’s content.

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned.

Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

‼️‼️ I am writing this under the sound of explosions

Odesa is without electricity, water, gas, and communication after one of Russia’s most intense attacks of the war.

More than ten explosions have been reported, involving ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, Oniks missiles, and Kinzhal missiles.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

This guy spent years chasing me through the Guardian complaints system. I'd reported that his news agency had spread a wildly viral but denied claim that a Dutch teenager was legally euthanised at a clinic. He was so unhappy after his complaint was rejected he launched his own media regulator.
AI has helped break news ecosystem, but could also fix it – says agency boss. Michael Leidig's NewsX is a bid to make on the ground reporting pay again. pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/w...

Well, this is quite a serious allegation. I do hope the BBC shows true impartiality and investigate whether or not some of its Board members are systemically biased. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...
