Trump and his cronies have the BBC in their sights. Leaders can’t stay silent while one of our great institutions is attacked.

We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.

1/ Maxwell is now asking Trump to commute her sentence.

She’s still telling the same story: that she wasn’t really involved, didn’t see what was happening around Epstein.

Can I just say, as I've seen a few posts along these lines, it's a logical fallacy to suggest that because you're criticised by both sides you must be being neutral or impartial.

One (or both) sides may be criticising unfairly or in bad faith. Indeed, they very often are.

Please don't do this.

Elon Musk, "Cornwall is protected from wolves by a wall of corn, Tower Hamlets are tiny villages way up in the clouds, Swans are mythical creatures like Pegasus that the Royal family ride, they've got a prince who is a whale, a bear in a coat kills people. This has happened many times in Britain"

US District Judge Denise Cote ruled that Musk himself had reduced his privacy interest by publicly boasting that he holds a “top secret clearance”—and discussing his drug use (including ketamine and marijuana) and contacts with foreign leaders (including Russian President Vladimir Putin).
The Pentagon has to provide The New York Times information about Elon Musk’s security clearances, a federal judge ruled Wednesday—and the billionaire’s own posting habits helped decide the case. trib.al/7voNtjk

Bluesky is less aggravating than Twitter, but the propaganda that fuels division and hatred is still reaching it's intended audience on Twitter and with less and less pushback. That's a problem if you are concerned about dangerous radicalisation.

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

2 months ago today Human Rights Watch reported Russian army is committing war crimes in Kherson, deliberately hunting civilians with drones in "human safaris". UN has said it too.

You'd think this would be bigger news.

Some good news.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.

To what extent is it radicalisation and to what extent is it his real self being revealed? I suspect it's both. Ten years ago he was whitewashing racism as the legitimate concerns of the downtrodden and deriding anti-racists as a cosmopolitan elite. These were not exactly small red flags.

Strange how certain racists who only express their racist views in coded language don't like to be called racists. It's as if they are worried that they will lose influence over their gullible followers.
