Physics. Mountains. And other matters as I'm one of those woke remoaners. He/him in the unlikely event you want to refer to me.

Out of curiosity I checked the popular vote for #Labour in all of this century's general elections (data source: Wikipedia). Posted without interpretation

@krassenstein Quite a metaphor for what has befallen the USA

Now he’s ticked “become a #trillionaire” off his bucket list perhaps he can retire (to Mars or elsewhere) and stop sticking his nose in other countries’ business.

@owenjonesjourno When will the mayoral elections be reverting to alternative vote?

[John Samson @JohnHSamson]

Iran is unquestionably winning the AI video war. Watch and share.

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

WOW!

The Iranian AI Lego team has another video out. They are doubling down on building bridges between Americans & Iranians while depicting the US gov and "system" as the real enemy.

The music, lyrics, and imagery are all designed to appeal to disillusioned Americans.

@owenjonesjourno Fortunately, assuming the firewall holds, 28% will not get them into government. 28% in the UK however could give such a party a majority.

@hamidkh13249665 @notstonkgod @EmissaryOfNight Accounting both for the lower GDP and for the USA not attacking them

URGENT reminder to US and Israeli #military personnel (among others). You do NOT have the absolute right to obey orders: #Nuremberg. Targeting civilians or essential civilian infrastructure is a #warcrime. You have moral agency - refuse such orders.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

The UK must immediately and unequivocally suspend support for the US military.

The Government have tried to appease him, then they tried to say they're standing up to him.

Words aren't enough - it's time for action.

I hope Starmer is telling Trump what Eisenhower rightly told Eden 70 years ago.

“tried to win the election by dividing a community that didn’t want to be divided”
Brilliant

[Canary @TheCanaryUK]

So the Green Party BEAT Reform UK to win the Gorton and Denton by-election! The politics of HOPE are alive and well. Well done to the people of G&D, we are very humbled by you as are @TheGreenParty and @ZackPolanski we're sure #reformuk #nigelfarage #election #comedy

#HolocaustMemorialDay Bridging Generations. Family I never met: Manfred, Gertrud, Heinz, Manfred & Eva Katzenellenbogen, Sara & Jacob Levy, Eugen Oertel, Marika, David & Betty Traub, Rosa Wimpfheimer... In their memory #NeverAgain for ALL peoples, in ALL places, at ALL times.

@MJC00per Too late: they’re no longer on the reading list.

[John Samson @JohnHSamson]

New Year resolution question: should one resolve to be good, or just not to be evil? Tutu or not Bibi, that is the question.

@GoodSo57478 @ScotNational As an Englishman, I want the UK to become a country Scots wouldn’t want to leave.

@TerribleMaps “Ghoulash? Is that a special dish for Halloween?

[John Samson @JohnHSamson]

@PhysInHistory I am awaiting evidence inconsistent with my null hypothesis on the number of deities. (So agnosticism is the scientific position.)

@seatsixtyone Once when both my outward and my return journey were delayed I received a 125% refund and definitely wished I’d booked first class.

@the_daylight_co @JosephGelman @Partisan_12 From the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance examples of antisemitism https://t.co/s6qWWZxVbl: "Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel." E. g. claiming Israeli actions are actions of "the Jews"

[John Samson @JohnHSamson]

@JosephGelman @Partisan_12 Predicting that memories of war crimes will pass down through two generations is not something to be proud of.

[John Samson @JohnHSamson]

@JosephGelman @Partisan_12 In my culture? [Context: my parents were refugees from Germany in the 1930s.] Ascribing any crime to "the <insert name of ethnic group>" perpetuates racism.
