Prince William hasn’t seen Sinners on the basis of it being “a bit dark”. Hmmm. 🧐

Living for the Guardian’s coverage of the #BAFTAs this evening.

“In a time of unprecedented constitutional crisis, the royal family can at least count on the support of a fictional bear in a hat.”

The monarchy is a political institution, and it exists at a cost to democratic and well-being society (abolish the monarchy and fund the NHS maybe?). Well done to Zack for highlighting this and a Christmas message of compassion and kindness towards the most vulnerable

The Guardian accused me of hubris because I dared post at 3pm.

The Calais Appeal donations are shooting up.

Maybe the King might like to donate too? Or maybe the Government could actually implement a fair & managed migration system?

A Christmas miracle!

Bank of England Warns of Impending AI Disaster The Bank of England has sounded the alarm, warning of an intensifying risk of a "sudden correction" due to an AI spending frenzy.

“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”

Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

Ok. They’ve pissed me off.

I’m back to tell you 3 things about ID cards:

1. Migrants ALREADY HAVE biometric ID cards & govts have been trying to digitise them for years w repeated fuckups & failures causing complete chaos - they don’t work, you do not want that system for you.

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain.

The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services.

That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.

Amazing how those democratic lawmakers who were hunted down in their homes in the middle of the night in Minnesota weren’t a watershed moment of political violence, huh?

Umm. In all of NYC, only 956 new jobs were added from January to June? Versus 66,000 additional workers in the same period in 2024?

"It is shocking because we aren’t in a recession,” said economist @lmelodia.bsky.social.

[Maybe that should be called a recession? – Me.]

Disney and NASA Keep Selling Space Travel. Nobody’s Buying. Disney has made several big-budget films with the backing of the US government to sell space travel to a new generation. But audiences don’t seem to care.

Very excited for my piece out with @jacobinmag.bsky.social about Disney’s history on selling outer space! 🚀

Duffy to announce nuclear reactor on the moon This is the first major agency effort by the interim NASA administrator, who is also the Transportation secretary and a former Fox News host.

This is fine. It's fine. Totally fine.

Just sickeningly inhumane. People are forced to take dangerous small boat journeys to flee danger because for the vast majority there is no other way to claim asylum in the UK. The ONLY way to prevent horrific channel deaths is to open safe routes and Yvette Cooper knows this

Only Iranians will free Iran.
Don't fall for it. Palestine will be free, and this nightmare in our region will end, but we must see past this truly perverse live manufacturing of propaganda and consent. [4/4]

Speechless at how every media story related to the destruction in Iran somehow continues to miss the death toll, while photos extend only to obnoxious Israeli equipment of war. Meanwhile, Netanyahu's internal, self-imposed victimhood propaganda tour is getting the full bells and whistles. [1/4]

The Iraq playbook is back & the media won’t question it.

Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel — on trial for genocide — does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasn’t — & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants.

Beware of politicians beating the drums of war.

First, Israel cut Gaza’s last internet cable—blacking out 2.3 million people.

Then it bombed Iran with no UN approval, no imminent threat.

As eyes shift to Iran, Israel will escalate its ethnic cleansing in Gaza—and create more regional instability.

If you're ever in Cambridge (or not, but wish you were) the wonderful @rowenasquires.bsky.social has an audio tour feminist history, incl the time male students literally started a riot & burned down shops in city centre to protest women being granted degrees

We can protect people.

We can protect nature.

But Labour are protecting the profits of property developers.

The Planning & Infrastructure bill needs ripping up & starting again.
