Burgum on wind turbines: We have a report from Hegseth that it’s a national security threat. You could launch an attack on the US in with a bunch of drones coming through a wind tower field, it would undetectable until it was came through because the radar interference

BBC slammed by Ross Greer live on air over framing of racist disorder in Belfast β€œThose were racist rioters. If you're burning the houses down of people who are not white, you are a racist rioter, you're a criminal, you are a scumbag.” Greer added: β€œThe BBC should not be legitimizing these people by calling them anti-immigration campaigners. thenational.scot/news/261812…

These aren't protests. They're racist riots. And it's time for the government to take them seriously. The PM should be convening COBRA and setting out a real plan to end this horrific violence and bring communities together. Now is a time for real leadership.

This is the kind of thing that was said about the Jews in the 1930s. It is not hyperbolic to say that degrading an entire culture leads us to a very dark place. Reform are playing with fire right now trying to stop themselves being outflanked by the extremists of Restore.
Some cultures are MUCH better than others.

Politicians who fanned these flames should hang their heads in shame. Time and again we've seen this story play out. Single incidents used to fuel a far right narrative - and communities across the nation paying the price.
The rioters have set a house on fire in Belfast.

This is utter bullshit. When Indonesia refused to grant the Israeli under 17 team visa’s for the 2023 U-20 World Cup, FIFA stripped Indonesia’s hosting rights and moved it to Argentina. So @FIFAcom can stop with the lies.
Replying to @DaleJohnsonBBC
"FIFA is not involved in host country immigration processes, including visa adjudications, and has been informed by authorities that Mr Artan’s status will not be changed at present. 2/3
Community note
FIFA removed Indonesia as host of the 2023 U-20 World Cup after officials refused to allow Israel's participation. bbc.com/sport/football… inside.fifa.com/organisation/m…

Big up, Uncle Ian Wright for speaking up, and he's 100% correct. Look how Qatar got dragged when they were hosting the World Cup.

Yes this is the dumbest tweet but dont EVER forget that they are the proverbial carrion dropped into the community well... they are designed to poison and it's working. Tackling them on face value does not matter to these people, our top MPs need to full stop leave the US behind.
This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that accolade. It's hard to know where to even start. I'll go from the top and try wade through it, to arrive at where the focus should already be. /1

This Henry Novak issue is crazy because actively both of these children are children of migration, but we’re flying flags of β€˜Britain’ because he was white killed by someone brown. This just shows it’s never been about your country, and just about your race.

If only someone in the media would expose Farage's incitement yesterday via performative utterance in the same way that Jonathan Miller humiliated Enoch Powell and his grubby little racism.

Minneapolis Arts are retweeting this nonsense. No genuine art critic/historian discounted an original Monet. What are people trying to prove here? - AI art is at a disadvantage (yes 100%) - You will discount a real artist's work if you call it AI? (no πŸ’― if you're an insider)
This user posted an actual Monet, said it was AI, asked people to explain what made it inferior. They obliged πŸ˜‚ Tracks with research showing people systematically downgrade their aesthetic assessments of art when told it’s AI-generated. See β€” nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

insider - 'someone who has studied art and art history'. does not exclude others, it just means they have qualified as experts and you/we are still learning the ropes...
