Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

Destroying confidence in the electoral system and other pillars of democracy (media, courts) is their goal, it’s not just pathetic whining. Then they use that lack of confidence to push strongman powers, restrictive voter suppression laws, and other crackdowns.

this app could be single handedly destroying my mental health and i would never fucking uninstall it because every few days The Transcendental Post will appear and for a brief fleeting moment our souls are freed from samsara as we gaze upon it in awe

The burning oil terminal at the background for the attendees of the Saint Petersburg International economic forum (SPIEF) is quite a fitting picture of current state of Russia.

Last week: @thenerve_news.

This week: the FT View.

We forensically tracked cryptobillionaire Christopher Harborne’s donations against Nigel Farage’s crypto policy statements.

Yesterday the FT pulled out this same point in its main editorial & notes the similarity to Trump.

Making them pay for it themselves is a nice Soviet touch

Unai Emery is probably going to win the Europa League with Sevilla, Villarreal and Aston Villa.

That’s like some kind of Football Manager save goal to succeed with all the teams with “Villa” in.

Sharing, without comment, British newspapers’ depictions of the only Jewish person currently leading a UK political party .

Times. Mail. Telegraph. Sun.

[Fraser Nelson @FraserNelson]

Another significant evolution in Reform's style of politics. Its proposed internment camps will only be built in parts of the country that vote for its rivals.

This is a new departure for UK politics: rejecting the idea of PM-for-all and instead a new partisan style.

5 - Chelsea have lost five successive league games without scoring for the first time since November 1912. Unbelievable.

Sorry but the Iranian government’s LEGO depiction of Kash Patel is fucking frying me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

For those wondering why NATO exists and why countries want to join the defensive alliance.

WSJ: "Aides kept the president out of the room."

"It’s worth dwelling for a moment on this detail. Aides—presumably senior military officials in particular—believed that they had to exclude the president from the decision-making if it were to succeed."

In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.
