"Really?" Tucker Carlson asks in astonishment. "Yes, Really." Rees-Mogg answers. An abosolute hard liner, an arrogant, White Believer in Himself/
Here’s Tucker Carlson drawing out an astonishingly hawkish warmongering response from Jacob Rees-Mogg - who even justifies the use of nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II.

Gee, how could they have possibly known? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
UNBELIEVABLE!!! It turns out Israel had warned Britain what was going to happen in Fairford! Netanyahu said “You wanna hear how obsurd things are in Britain, we gave the Brits the intel that there was gonna be an Iranian sponsored attack and pretty much the next day they slapped sanctions on us” Now you know why that just came out of the blue from our parliament that day. Everything is orchestrated to destroy us. Though he shouldn’t say “The Brits” as the people he was giving it to should not be called or be classed as Brits, there traitors and Britain destroyers is what they are.

Netanyahu says West Bank settler violence is a “tremendous hoax” — just 150–200 “juvenile delinquents,” not actual settlers. Sure. The UN, B’Tselem, and even ITF data are apparently all in on the prank: over a thousand attacks a year, shootings, arson, emptied villages, and new outposts popping up right next to the “hoax.” Courts are just “lenient,” the army is somehow always nearby by coincidence, and Palestinians defending their land are the real barbarians. A tightly run operation for a couple hundred kids.

Reminder that the guy talking about $22 burittos also believes that the US dollar's global reserve currency position is a "resource curse" because it makes things too cheap.
Vance: "If you are trying to undo 40 years of globalization, it's going to take time to fix that. You have a few tone deaf Republicans who say, 'Shut up if you're pissed off about a $22 burrito.' My response to that is... No. Listen to people who are upset with the state of the economy."

Great reminder of how depressingly and needlessly constrained American politics is that basic stuff like this seems like total fantasy. As the meme says, you can just do stuff! But the powers that be don’t want you thinking so.
One of the many small but substantial measures Mexico’s wildly popular democratic socialist government is taking to materially improve the lives of citizens is to develop these tough little electric cars and trucks that people can buy directly from the state for about $50/month.

Human rights organizations sat through two years of mass-extermination before calling Gaza a genocide. Their silence enabled it. Now they are refusing to use the word "genocide" to describe the genocide in Lebanon. They learned nothing.
Mansouri, Lebanon is being reduced to absolute rubble. Here is today’s latest demolition by Israeli forces. Genocide is defined under Article Il of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention as any act committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group. One of the five acts is “deliberately imposing destructive life conditions.” More than 65 towns and villages in Lebanon are still under Israeli occupation and are undergoing daily illegal civilian home and infrastructure demolitions.

Just heard Shelagh Fogarty interviewing David Mencer, spokesman for the Israeli Govt office @LBC No push back at any of his hideous claims. This is not journalism. Stop claiming to be balanced @ShelaghFogarty you are anything but. I honestly think you are radicalised. Shameful.

I applaud the California Legislature and Governor Newsom for passing gene synthesis screening and customer verification requirements. This is a common-sense rule we will need in the impending era of agents that accelerate synthetic biology the way AI has already accelerated math.
Yesterday, Gov. Newsom signed AB1864 to mandate DNA screening in CA. The bill creates a statutory basis for existing OSTP guidance that much (but not all!!) of the industry has purportedly followed for years –– but we never had any way of verifying or enforcing whether companies did these basic biosecurity steps, since the existing guidance was voluntary and based on a "trust me, bro" self-attestation system. This is a good milestone for AI-biosecurity, mostly because it shows that we can and should apply the same standard federally and internationally

but in fact, the entire federal government is run by Republicans. since T***p is the president, presumably he thinks that he did win. why does he say such things, admitting that the elections that Republicans have won are "very crooked?"
Trump: "California has a very crooked election system. If we had an honest election, Republicans would win. I would've won. I would've won. If California had an honest system, I would've won.

More wind power that will likely be paying back money under its CfD given how gas has raised our whole electricity prices coming online. Doing what they are supposed to do. Delivering affordable electricity at a stable price. Cf gas.
We're pushing 1,500 MW today from the under-construction cluster of wind farms in the North Sea, and they're mostly capped at ~50% capacity for now When complete these three will be outputting at 3,800 MW on a windy day

"I can't understand why we keep going to the well of the poorest in our society." Sharon Graham, Unite's General Secretary, tells @bbcnickrobinson why she thinks wealth taxes should be the solution, not dropping the triple lock pension pledge.
Community note
Pensioners have a lower poverty rate (16%) than children (31%) or working-age adults (19%), per official UK data; the triple lock is not means-tested and applies to all recipients. jrf.org.uk/uk-poverty-sta… ifs.org.uk/articles/are-p…
