@SeppBlatter "Back in my day, FIFA presidents took old fashioned cash bribes instead of being influenced by political phone calls."

[Moog @a_toots]

Imagine succeeding Sepp Blatter and *still* being considered the worst FIFA President.

If I had to die on one hill in UK politics it would be that the Binface guy is genuinely sharp and probably adds more to his country’s discourse than most sitting MPs

Emily Thornberry has today said the government has let down the Palestinian people, and allowed Israel to act with impunity.

The audacity.

Here she is in October 2023 refusing to condemn Israel cutting off power and supplies to Gaza.

Don’t let these people rewrite history.

The thing about these kinds of Gen AI use cases is that the BBC could have easily made this video before these tools existed - you could do it with actors in makeup, you could do it with traditional VFX.

The fact that you're only doing it now means you only thought it was worth doing once the cost was essentially zero. That is to say, the content's existence has become a tacit acknowledgement of its own worthlessness.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

This is insane.

This is the government’s “independent” advisor on antisemitism.

He sees four antisemitic cartoons targeting Zack Polanski.

His response?

To demand an end to the antisemitic targeting of Polanski?

No. It’s to attack the Green Party.

[Zack Polanski @ZackPolanski]

When Jewish people speak out against genocide, why are our voices dismissed?

And smirking while I describe someone Nazi-saluting at me isn’t just disrespectful - it feels deeply antisemitic.

A BBC investigation confirms it: IDF snipers are systematically targeting and killing Palestinian children, including infants

[Matt Zarb-Cousin @mattzarb]

“IDF massacres Lebanese village, children among 41 killed” — fixed it for you

You're right, Stephen. It's impossible to deplore Iran's regime and the war at the same time.

We should all jettison nuance or intellectual reservations and have some freedom fries---or crayons.

So it seems that Reform UKs unstoppable rise to power is, er, stoppable.

[Flying_Rodent @flying_rodent]

I think we can say there’s definitely Noticing Things going on now, at the BBC. You might have got this stuff piecemeal here and there but now they’re just laying it out in blunt terms.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

Amazing.

Just amazing.

The United States of America will do absolutely anything before it passes common sense gun laws.

This might be - and I am not being hyperbolic - one of the greatest threads ever written by a lawyer on this hellsite.

If you have even a scintilla of interest in justice, liberty or government ministers having the faintest understanding of their job, you need this thread. 🧵

Elon Musk, a South African immigrant born in Africa who votes in Texas, is annoyed that Somali immigrants born in Africa get to vote in Minnesota.

There's only one thing he doesn't have in common with his fellow African immigrants in Minnesota.

As most people know, I have spent many years following the details of Trump’s controversies, scandals, corruption and more but even I had missed this story. Other politicians would have been destroyed by this single story. But not Trump. No one ever asks him about this.

[lan Byrne MP @IanByrneMP]

You couldn’t make it up. The urgent need for reform of the British media has just been perfectly exemplified by BBC Breakfast bringing on Kelvin MacKenzie to talk about integrity in journalism.

This is the individual who published truly horrific - and now completely discredited - lies and smears about Hillsborough victims and survivors in the S*n after the tragedy. Lies that continue to cause so much harm to so many even today.

Shame on BBC Breakfast.
