Imagine a world where the Leader of His Majesty's Official Opposition did not understand the magnitude of threat to UK security, posed by Trump's direct threats to NATO.

Incredibly, we're living in it.

"The UK military supported the US operation to seize the tanker in the Atlantic, the Marinera, with air surveillance and a navy ship, the Ministry of Defence says"

Hi @cnn.com and @erinburnett.bsky.social How is it "incredible that we have a reporter in Caracas..." ? I'd say it would have been negligent if you didn't. CNN doing a great job normalising this outrageous and illegal attack on a sovereign nation."Lawlessness is part of the norm." says Erin. WTAF?

The Dragon was Wales' entry into the microcomputer age. While hampered due to cost saving measures (eschewing, among other things, lowercase characters), having more power than the Sinclair and a better price point than the BBC Micro gave the Dragon a long lasting userbase.

Clueless US media understand Trump's shut down of Atlantic coast wind farms as just some vague national security thing about radar or as Trump's weird ideas about alternative energy. But in Denmark, this is immediately understood for what it is: a shakedown against two large Danish companies,

Superb thread. Ultimately depressing. It is all so hopelessly corrupt. But these are all old, white men who will be dead soon. Their empire will, like all others, crumble.
Today, in the Sunday print NYT, we published an investigative look at Harold Hamm, the 13th child of Oklahoma sharecroppers who started an oil company named Continental, which turned him into a billionaire, powerbroker and friend of Donald J. Trump. You may never have heard of Hamm. But you should

The White House has been caught.

The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.

In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

How many times do we need to point this out?
By appeasing the far right, you do not weaken it. You strengthen it.
While weakening your own position.
There's a vast amount of academic research showing this.
