This is brilliant by Helen Lewis. A few worthy quotes but this is my favourite: "[...] the bar was insufficiently devoted to “revolutionary praxis,” which is like normal praxis but the discussions you have about it go around and around forever. " www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Just me saying that any effort to tackle misinformation must be an attack on Reform, thereby admitting that Reform are helping Russia to spread far right narratives and create dissent and unrest.

All the money in the world won’t make Reform’s moronic policies workable. It won’t make their people less racist or idiotic. It won’t sort out their ridiculous egos or end the investigations. It won’t make the majority of us loathe them any less. In fact, the money may well bury them. Let’s hope so.

Dismayed by defeat of the assisted dying bill. Nothing was won today – no new palliative care funding, no new disability support. And the suffering that brought this bill to parliament remains.

I’ve reached the point - well actually, I reached it a while ago - where I’m militantly anti-AI. Fine - use it in bioscience labs and radiology where it might help analyse data more effectively. Use it sparingly for systems engineering. Everywhere else, it can fuck off.

It’s more than two (Liverpool last year come to mind, and Spurs this one) but otherwise agree with this sentiment. When Man City and Chelsea are allowed to break the rules so many times, and never face serious penalties, it makes a mockery of the PL and the English game.

There was talk not long ago of reducing our emissions within 30, or was it 50 years? Whatever it was, there was no real sense of urgency about it. A friend of mine said gloomily that governments only ever respond to emergencies when they're actually happening, and not before.

For me it’s where people say ‘last’, rather than ‘larst’. Coming from Nottingham I’m in the former camp. But raising our kids in Sussex has brought this subject up a lot. Grass, bath etc are taught as ‘tricky words’ (non-phonic) in southern primary schools…. proving the North is correct 😁

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

#FIFA allowed, through the lack of officiating against #Argentina during the entire #WorldCup, thuggery and some of the most dangerous soccer I’ve seen from Argentinian players. Also, #Paraguay and #Uruguay. FIFA should be more concerned with the safety of players, but I’m not holding my breath.

Arrogance is assuming nature is a foe to be battled, rather than the very system that gives us life. You cannot win a war against the life-support system you depend on. It’s time to shift from conquering nature to collaborating with it. 🌿 #EcologicalLiteracy #Biophilia

I’m fascinated by how many American FIFA rules experts there are on here, who knew? It makes me wonder why we have to go all the way back to Garrincha in 1962 to find the last comparable event at a WC involving a red card. 🤔 That involved corruption, too.
