An absolute masterclass in how the UK media platforms and normalises far right politics. This is how Farage wins.

We've had scientists, philosophers, academics, and comedians take on the role of Humanists UK President, but the only musician to take on the role was legendary jazz singer George Melly. So in honour of his memory, and to celebrate #internationaljazzday, here he is in full swing!

There’s a thriving industry of enablers of tax dodging, advisors etc. and tax evasion by the wealthy costs an estimated £5.6 billion of the tax gap. There’s been an alarming lack of enabler prosecutions www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2025...

HMRC prosecutes less than five tax evasion enablers in a year
Legal actions against facilitators stand at next to nothing – and new figures differ wildly from those previously given

OK, gonna throw this spicy bomb out there. If you're fortunate enough to have disposable income, then right now it is your duty to use that income wisely. You have agency over how you spend it and you should own how you spend it. Your decisions do, in fact, affect stock prices of big corporations.

Few realize what happened at USADF (not USAID). The situation got so tense that Trump and Musk's agents threatened to call the Marshals _and_ Secret Service to resolve the standoff...by force. It turns out that what they were doing was illegal—in fact, the most illegal thing "DOGE" has done yet.

from today's post — thanks for reading! link to the whole ball of wax is here: bit.ly/4byeqRk
gather ’round, children, Uncle Jeff is going to read you the story of Enola, the Very Gay Airplane. it goes like this:

once upon a time, there was this ahem alleged sexual-assaulting christofascist named Piss-Drunk Pete.

Pete was the Big Boss of the United States military. now, Pete loved the military and he loved men — but not all men. Pete only loved the manliest of men. he hated any man who wasn’t among the manliest of manly men.

now, Pete was very afraid that if his manly army of the very manliest manly men accidentally caught a glimpse of the wrong sort of word — for instance, a word like gay — they might go a little funny in the head, and get bad ideas. and so Pete directed his military to remove all the wrong sorts of words from their files.

and that’s how the US military ended up removing photos of the Enola Gay — the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb on Japan — from its archives.
