this place was cursed with double-edged timing. they saw a big influx of users & thought wow, people must be really excited about our tech nonsense buzzword things (instead of just wanting twitter but not ran by a nazi) let's focus on that bollocks forever

Has DOGE left the building so emphatically that they can't even avoid wasting frames these days? The shame

Hegseth fired generals who insisted that military leaders who had demonstrated long records of exemplary service deserved promotion. For all the bitching about "DEI," what these failsons and Fox News castoffs all really hate is an actual meritocracy, where people are rewarded for their hard work

Epstein clients Pam Bondi arrested: 0

It seems like by definition, any woman who thinks women shouldn’t be allowed to vote? HERSELF should not have any “right” to advocate for that outcome, since that is women exercising political advocacy in and of itself. So they should shut up and just not vote. But that’s not the plan

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds? www.thetimes.com/life-style/s...

The president's comments about paying for war instead of day care seem destined for Democratic attack ads.

In case you were wondering: Yes, there is a Jonathan the Great Tortoise angle to the Pam Bondi firing news.

NEW: The DOJ — once led by attorneys like Kristen Clarke who prioritized protecting voting rights — underwent an upheaval under Pam Bondi’s leadership. Speaking to Democracy Docket, Clarke called the Civil Rights division she used to lead "a shadow of its former self" and slammed its "sloppy work."

Prince & 3RDEYEGIRL - Sometimes It Snows In April (Live '13) Well, it's officially April, so it's time for April songs. Which means I can put this on repeat for a while! My fav performance of this track. RIP Prince! #Prince #April #Snow #MusicSky #3RDEYEGIRL #ConcertSky youtu.be/AXVutZRJjDA?...

Lawrence O’Donnell made a great point. Nixon won his 1972 re-election in a landslide, winning 49 states. In 1974 he resigned. By 1976, you couldn’t find anyone who would admit to supporting him. Looking forward to history repeating itself.

I would also like 19 minutes live coverage on every TV network to provide the public absolutely no new information while regurgitating my last month of social media posts.

Had a dream last night that Quincy Jones' Q's Jook Joint album finally got a retail vinyl release... on a picture disc (I'm not even a massive picture-disc person, so I'm not sure how that detail got in there)

Finally

Time for another “X” break… sigh

The Jacksons’ Victory Tour and Prince’s Ultimate Live Experience… oh yes I’d have been in my element watching any #Prince show largely centred on Come/Gold Experience material. I’ve heard that people shouted at him to “play the hits” at those shows. Bunch of ungrateful sods, lol

Under normal administrations, accidentally making a faux pas and insulting an ally is considered a grave error. Hegseth thinks he can playground-bully the UK into joining this absurd Team America fit of pique. These people are like infants. Fuck off.

My uncle is a conservative Englishman of the old school. Loves WWII films. Hates "woke stuff" as he calls it. And still makes jokes about French tanks "only having one gear - reverse". His words on the Trump administration this past week would get me banned if I repeated them here.

The local selection of art galleries, record stores, and bookshops is abysmal, TBF

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has been named a 2026 recipient of the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award, to be presented in May, honoring his defense of the Fed’s independence amid intense political pressure and personal attacks.👇

Wonder whether these people ever stop to think that putting a bit of effort into coming across as even *vaguely* likeable human beings might… oh I dunno, make your country’s traditional allies a bit more inclined to work with you when you *do* want or need their help

it's come to this ... on its 250th anniversary, America is now begging the Royal Navy to help out.

To be fair, he has probably never been in a library except for a gala or something, which explains why the "library" has no books or papers, just AI people in tuxes

Apparently the new thing to do if you’re a right-wing influencer is to just… completely lie about traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. No, it’s not “significantly better” or “wide open” 6 fucking ships have transited the Strait today.

#Prince photographed on his way to his party at Tramp's nightclub in Beverly Hills on May 30, 1986. Earlier that same day, he performed at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles with The Revolution. Vanity was among the guests at his party and appeared in the same iconic Parade look in orange. 💜🔄

Every nation should treat billionaires like a natural resource and mine them of their riches until exhausted, just like a nice thick seam of coal or a reservoir of oil, then make the spoils available to the nation's citizens. If they crop up again, mine them again.

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

ICYMI: You Gov: 68% of Britons believe the US has had a mostly or entirely negative impact on the rest of the world in recent years, up from 57% in January Entirely positive: 2% (-1 from 12 Jan) Mostly positive: 8% (-2) Mixed: 18% (-6) Mostly negative: 35% (+1) Entirely negative: 33% (+10)

If you're part of a White House that thought you could 'Venezuela' Iran, and failed to anticipate the Strait becoming a problem, I don't think reporters should give you anonymity to lob incognito insults at the geopolitical instincts of others.

This is the FCC Chairman, who is ostensibly a non-partisan industry regulator, openly bragging about conducting a political purge of the media.

We are potentially less than 24H from the end of the modern economy. To think that the fate of the whole world hinges on the whim of one angry man. All because the US system of government gives the person at the top ludicrous levels of power with no viable checks and balances.

What is going to make university degrees worthless isn’t niche subjects like languages or the entire human past, it’s charging to teach people “content-creator” skills they can learn on the can

Another university getting rid of things you could only ever do at a university and replacing them with stuff a 13-year-old can do on a phone

It's the end of the world as we know it and I don't feel fine at all.

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

Anyway. In more heartening news, I’ve had my best ever start to a #swimming year in 2026. 🏊‍♂️ 10 swims done in January, 12 in February, 14 in March so far 👌 #Fitness #WeightLoss

BREAKING: United CEO Scott Kirby says in letter to employees that the airline is preparing for oil to hit $175/barrel with $100 oil lasting for nearly 2 years. If this was to happen the global economy would be in a depression. You can thank Trump for this one, my MAGA CULT friends.

Thank feck the world dodged the geopolitical turbulence Kamala’s laugh would’ve caused, tho’. Feeling so damn relaxed right now. Phew.

The world/life is so overwhelming right now, it's something every day... try to find some joy & peace wherever you can. Take mental breaks, take care of you, give love, show love.... breathe.💙🤗
