Let tonight be a lesson to all of us: Make sure you have established your own, and are aware of your loved ones', advance directives. Do you want to be awakened from your slumber when It Happens? Or do you want to find out when you awake naturally and unlock your phone? Let your loved ones know.

A real shame if this photo went viral again today.

This is pretty much the only post anyone should need to understand that Farage is a traitor, a conman and a populist simpleton who must *never* be given power.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis. He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden. (After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

I won't consider Starlink for the same reason I won't buy a Tesla and why I'm no longer on the former Twitter: I won't willingly give money to (or be an advertising base for) a Nazi salute-throwing fascist who actively tried to destroy our democracy

a lot of people regretting the 'this shoulda been an email' advice rn lol

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

From the top rope

I knew Gill and Farage and the rest of the UKIP crew in the European Parliament They were crooks and shysters to a man They repeated Putin talking points and appeared on Russia Today UKIP then and Reform now are both a threat to our democracy www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

X is a cesspit led by an unhinged billionaire who is desperately trying to stir up civil war in Britain. Nobody with any sense or decency should be there. No organisations, government departments, or politicians should be there. Everyone who is, is enabling this monster.

Farage: epic grifter

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

I couldn't give a shit that some American extremist got killed with one of the guns he fetishised. I'd say the fact their president, an obvious russian asset, is probably a pedophile is more important. Release the Epstein files.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

And the inevitable American solution to the latest shooting will be more guns. Absolute fucking idiocy.

Vaccines are battle training for your immune system. If you could give it intel on the enemy, why would you withhold that? Give me ALL the vaccines! I want to be prepared for everything!

The graph shows what happened when the polio vaccine became available. Deaths and illness stopped. People begged to get it when it became available. Reversing this is what Florida just announced it intends to do.

It's just the most loathsome grifters entrapping the easily-led into fascism and misogny. An embarrassment to any man who doesn't think that way.

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

Yeah I guess LeBron putting up a 22.6 PER is pretty special, but it's not that impressive when you compare him to people rolling out of bed and firing off something like this at age 86.

Bet all those people who said Suetonius was making shit up "because emperors didn't really act that way" are feeling pretty fucking stupid tonight

Spent too much time on this

On common sense.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

Hello! The US housing market has gotten very expensive, but I still dream of one day owning a home in a walkable neighborhood. In that spirit, I'm offering my consulting services. If you support the Trump tariffs, I can help you find US suppliers. Let me show you some examples. 🧵

Give me it. ❤️

A magical afternoon in the great outdoors of western mass yielded the best photograph I’ve probably ever taken.. #photography #nature #trees

Re-reading Gatsby and I can’t imagine why this line stood out: “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

We need to make any American refugees welcome here in the UK and EU. The senile god-emperor's loss is our gain. And they need to gtfo now before they get disappeared to Venezuela.

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity. Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

Today we're publishing a monster feature that dives deep into the initial six weeks over Elon Musk's government takeover. Our entire newsroom came together to help make this story happen. Read this culmination of our blood, sweat, and tears:

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Musk, possibly the most powerful person in the world rn, posts like a 4chan anon trying to impress his Nazi friends. Such a deeply pathetic man.

I can. In fact, the Canadian version is so great, I can't think of an American equivalent. 🧵

Lol. Not to mention lmao. Cosplay vicar sacked for being a Nazi. Oh dear.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

No lies told in this headline.

The UK public overwhelmingly say US oligarch Elon Musk is a threat to democracy and trying to sabotage their country. The majority see him as a joke and opportunist. "Musk is a deeply unpopular figure in the UK, with a net favourability rating of -35, lower than Nigel Farage or Tommy Robinson."

This book is equally brilliant and utterly horrifying. I can't recommend it enough.

This is a graphic illustration of why we must make @bsky.app the biggest social media platform in the world, say boll**** to Elon Musk & send him packing. We CAN do it www.politics.co.uk/news/2024/12...
