There is one overriding political problem, from which all others follow. Until it is addressed, every policy advanced by governments is window dressing.

Dear Bluesky,
www.thenerve.news is still tiny. We launched it with no dirty money (no money at all, lol!). But we're proving what's possible with a small expert team & no billionaire owners.

We knew the UK press wouldn't understand or properly cover this story, so we did. Thank you for the support!
This is the Observer's coverage of the Reform Russian Spie Scandal... 600 words on page 22 of the printed newspaper.

This is Link. His ball suddenly went missing and then reappeared trapped under his bed. He called his brother Otto in for backup, knowing they'd need all three of their collective brain cells to get it back. 12/10 for both (IG: thegoldenbruvs)

Oh man, Champagne Supernova just came on the radio box, and I was immediately transported back to, what I consider to be, one of my greatest life moments.

It's weird how music can do that to you.

You need to break this habit of checking your feed the moment you open your eyes in the morning. Nothing good comes of starting your day with high anxiety. Nothing good happened overnight. A broken world won’t mend because you read how it’s broken; it’ll just break you. This has been a note to self.

Isn't this exactly what just happened? Have people got mass fkn memory loss? Five years ago an ethics investigation took SEVEN MONTHS, resulted in a finding of several serious breaches, which was then ignored by the PM and resulted in the ethics advisor AND the bullied employee having to resign. 1/

Thoughtful piece by @cartoonshateher.bsky.social that crystallises a lot of what I find so strange about the pivot from words to video in so much parenting and relationship content:
Context: This Person Literally Set Up a Phone to Film This
All online video content needs to be viewed with an important realization: it wasn't filmed by accident.

If govt does introduce a wealth tax I can’t wait for the articles in the Torygraph saying “my husband and I have made a lot of sacrifices to get £10 million and now we’re going to have to take the children out of boarding school”

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. 🧪🧵⬇️

From an FDA probationary employee: the firings are coming from outside the agency without cause and with zero input from supervisors (as promised.) More firings expected between now and Tuesday. Do not open the termination email before you download your documents and performance evals.

When Musk talks about “democracy,” he really means “freedom,” and by freedom he means his ability to do as he please - which he thinks is in line with “the will of the people” because he sees his interests as identical with those of humanity itself as he is “chosen” to take us into a better future.
Elon’s very dumb argument that bureaucracy is at odds with democracy is rooted in his delusion that he acting on behalf of the people. The people strongly disagree.
