Clare Daly says candidates are effectively buying seats in the European Parliament. "They were literally paying every month – so that will tell you what other money they were getting. I’d call that corruption,” she said on The Ditch: The Party Line. ontheditch.com/clare-daly-mep…

I am seeking honest opinions on a $15 dress from the 70’s that I found at Goodwill. Although my friends dislike it, I am drawn to its unique character and the historical context of being made by women in a U.S. women’s union. Given its affordability, I would appreciate unbiased feedback, as I want to look beautiful on my wedding day and am concerned that the dress may appear matronly.

Erin Brockovich has launched a new interactive website and map tracking data centers across America — and the response has been overwhelming. In just the first week, the site logged 1,690 resident complaints, with over 1,800 submissions coming in from 47 states shortly after launch. Residents are reporting serious issues including: • Massive water usage draining local supplies • Sharply rising utility bills for nearby homes • Constant 24/7 noise from fans and generators disrupting sleep and daily life • Concerns over e-waste and potential PFAS contamination This comes from the same Erin Brockovich who famously won a $333 million settlement against PG&E in the 1990s for contaminating drinking water in Hinckley, California. The map shows operational, under-construction, and proposed AI data centers, allowing people to submit reports with photos and locations. What the map shows~ • Major AI data centers (operational, under construction, or proposed) across the U.S. • Overlaid with community-reported concerns (pins from residents emailing in issues). • You can click markers for details, sources, and reports. It uses a leaflet/OpenStreetMap-based interactive map. Stats from the site (as of ~May 24, 2026) • 33 Operational (built & running) • 44 Under Construction (announced or building) • 27 Proposed (in pipeline/pending approval) • Hundreds/thousands of community reports nationwide (earlier reports mentioned 2,700+ submissions from 49 states, with Texas leading heavily). Many Americans are now asking whether the rapid expansion of data centers is coming at too high a cost to local communities and the environment. brockovichdatacenter.com

Jeremy Corbyn
Jeremy Corbyn@jeremycorbyn·
Tony Blair thinks the answer to this country’s problems is AI, welfare cuts and endless spending on war. Who benefits? Arms companies and tech billionaires. Once again, Blair is wrong. The answer is a redistribution of wealth and power and the relentless search for peace.

#OnThisDay in 1895: Oscar Wilde was convicted of gross indecency and sentenced to two years’ hard labour. At the height of his fame, one of the most brilliant writers of the Victorian age was destroyed by laws used to criminalise gay men. Wilde had been celebrated for his wit, his plays, his style and his genius. But Victorian Britain turned on him with cruelty and hypocrisy. His trial became a public spectacle, his private life was dragged through the courts, and his conviction ruined his health, career and reputation during his lifetime. Today, Wilde is remembered as one of literature’s great figures. But his conviction remains a stark reminder of how the law was used to punish LGBT people, not for harming anyone, but for existing outside the moral boundaries imposed by the state. It was not just one man’s downfall. It was part of a wider system of persecution.

@DavidLammy You are an opportunist (and always have been) like all the others in the Starmer cabinet. You are an Uncle Tom, kowtowing to your masters. Utterly shameful the lot of you.

As the first Black Lord Chancellor, I’m determined to widen opportunity, break down barriers, and ensure talent, not background, determines success. A judiciary that reflects modern Britain is a stronger judiciary. theguardian.com/law/2026/may/2…

British MP Kit Malthouse unleashes on the UK Government: No ceasefire in Lebanon. Daily double-tap killings. "If this is what they do to British & European citizens on camera... what are they doing to Palestinians off camera?" "We're all fed up with the gaslighting!"

Wow…I had no idea.. UNRWA smuggled the Palestinian memory archive from its headquarters in Gaza, meaning the record of every Palestinian who became a refugee after the 1948 Nakba, to preserve their legitimate right to return and compensation in the event of a settlement.. @Rana_Sabbagh has the full story
