One in four Labour members could back Jeremy Corbyn’s party at the next general election

No ‘could’ is probably doing heavy lifting and the poll/reporting is probably intended to wind up Starmer, but it may well have an effect. Just as well Labour (and the Conservatives) rely on big money sponsorship for party funding and not their members isn’t it.

Shame about the voters and a shame about FPTP.

Il Leoncavallo non era solo un centro sociale. Era una memoria incarnata. Oggi, movimenti antagonisti e centri sociali vivono un periodo di maggiore debolezza rispetto alla fase espansiva che portò alla resistenza del Leoncavallo contro lo sgombero dell’agosto 1989 e alla grande manifestazione di «opposizione sociale» chiamata dopo quello del 1994. Tirare troppo la corda, però, può generare reazioni impreviste.

Israel using ‘fire belts’ to kill, divide and drive out Palestinian civilians in N Gaza

The Israeli military has begun using ‘fire belts’ – long areas of fire started by incendiary weapons across an area – in its expanded invasion of Gaza, according to local journalists.

Neoliberalism is not a viable option taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/0… Fascism is built on fear. Any politics that can successfully challenge it must, then, be built in the diea of freedom from fear. That rules neoliberalism out as an option.

The "science is settled"?

This is counter to any scientific principle and frankly, the people screeching this are in a cult.

The bizarre debate with a Net Zero ideologue professor who could barely string a sentence together – and what it says about the delusions of the climate cult.

My family likes to think it keeps very close tabs on its heritage. About a decade ago, I learned that was kind of a reaction formation, because it turns out my great grandfather (I learned after a lot of spelunking and some linguistic research) was a #Tatar. No one knew that we came patrilineally from Tatars; the man hid his identity, changed his name, possibly converted religions, did everything he could to get away from it when he eloped with his wife and left Poland. (So, good luck doxxing me with this, cuz I'm the only one that knows lol.)

I've been terminally online since 1999, but I've never, as far as I know, met a Tatar. I would love to, one day, meet one from that area, just to talk and maybe learn first-hand about the culture that my family was so insistent to leave behind.

Well, the way it seems to have worked is:

1. People started studying reactionless thrusters for use in space, and there wasn't that much pushback against them because they do use power, and the amount of force they generate is pathetic so there's no real threat...

2. Mike McCulloch started writing papers on Quantized Inertia and while he did upset a lot of physics, all he was explicitly saying was that QI predicts the rotation of galaxies.

3. Then at some point McCulloch writes an unpublished preprint saying "oh, that thing with the reactionless thruster, that's caused by this and here's the formula" - but you have to actually READ the formula to see that he just claimed the reationless thrusters can be used to generate infinite energy...

But if you reject that formula, then you need to reject QI - and you're not able to predict the rotation of galaxies, or the reactionless thrusters.

So no one part of this was ever a real threat on it's own, but taken together it is absolute heresy.

Well (assuming the formula works as described) they're in a bit of trouble at this point, because everything is now out in the open and anyone can build it. If they kill someone to try to cover it up, that's going to be entirely useless because all of the material is all over the place and it's just about making the connection between A and B which is simple enough to make that I could do it...

He stated that this operation will take place through "heavy fire, civilian evacuation, and ground maneuver," and threatened to flatten the city if Hamas doesn't accept Israel's terms, including freeing all hostages and completely disarming``

Whether the genAI bubble with burst or fizzle, we are be left with precarious folx, deprofessionalized workers and data centers that gobble up unreasonable amounts of energy and natural resources.

Instead of waxing philosophical and quoting Wittgenstein, debating whether LLMs "understand" the shitposts they generate, we must address these burning issues.

Ameliorate the precariat. Practice social solidarity. Refuse & oppose the data centers.
