Across the last 48 hours, “Signalgate” has morphed from one scandal into what I think is best thought of as five distinct overlapping scandals, as well as providing some fascinating political insight into who has power and how decisions get made in Trump II. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-five-s...

🚨 BREAKING: Young PIP claimants challenge Wes Streeting for backing cruel disability cuts.

We’ve been denied care, stuck on waiting lists, and left to fight for survival in a rigged system.

#StopTheCuts - this is life or death. We won’t let them get away with it ⬇️ #GuardianLive

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

Briefly going to use this as a jumping off point to talk about art! There's a concept in art history called kunstwollen or "will to art" introduced by Alois Riegel, who was a late 19th century Austrian art historian. It is often used to explain why certain motifs appear at certain times in history.
As part of this, I think it is also useful to emphasise that Henry Ford was a big fan of Hitler. Big technology has always been a close ally of authoritarianism, as we are witnessing in our own times, & that point needs to be made more frequently.
