Real “Mussolini made the trains run on time”. From The Spectator, of course.

Please note that the Third Reich lasted just 12 years and Hitler died by a self-inflicted gunshot wound while cowering in a bunker as Allied troops closed in.

“I intend to set up a thousand-year Reich and anyone who supports me in this battle is a fellow-fighter for a unique spiritual-I would say divine-creation... Rudolf Hess, my assistant of many years standing, would tell you: If we have such a leader, God is with us.” - Adolph Hitler, 1931

It’s like that old joke about the two tramps in Hollywood: 1st Hobo: (passing bottle of meths) Did you hear Bob McKnob’s new blockbuster action movie bombed? 2nd Hobo: (drinking meths, pissing trousers) Ha, I always said that guy was a fuckin’ loser!

Maybe so, but it seems weird to pick the precise moment of the Sensible Moderates’ most acute embarrassment - when their flagship project is nakedly revealed as vacant, cruel, stupid, self-centred, comically corrupt, disastrously reactionary 100% discrediting horseshit - as the time to declare it.

Great job, political journalists. You tried to find out what Andy Burnham might be like as prime minister, and now he's crying.

"Norway is imposing a near ban on the use of generative AI tools by elementary school pupils while also restricting their ​use in the education of older children to prevent a ‌negative impact on learning" Sometimes, good policymaking is incredibly simple. www.reuters.com/technology/n...

feels quite telling of how Keir Starmer can't do politics that he gave an interview about his decision (sure) to quit, in which he said that decision was ultimately incredibly personal, and then couldn't expand on what that meant, he just repeated the same words. a man who simply cannot communicate

Also how he seemed to have viewed his tenure as "CEO that rescued failing brand" for the Labour Party, rather than governing the country.

According to too many, there is white and then there is political there is male and then there is political there is capitalism and then there is political there is straight and then there is political there is cis and then there is political there is non-disabled and then there is political

Microblogging is Candy Crush for people who like talking too much. If Candy Crush bombarded you with racism and the owners refused to stop it we'd ban it. Acting like X is a vital civilisational bulletin board rather than a petty vice for the terminally online is obscuring that fact.

I take my role as Vatican TMZ very seriously 😂 this whole thing is so soapy and chaotic that we should all get to enjoy it but I also believe it is also a net good for the world even outside the church! reeeeeeally curious what Vance does next

it's kind of fascinating how these are treated as equally bad

currently reading through the "Strong Floor, No Ceiling" book that Jeffries and a couple of other Dems have been using as a tagline for policies: it's so funny because it has lines like these

Now's the best time to talk about how Mitch McConnell is one of the most malignant figures in American history because you won't end up getting screenshotted and put in a Breitbart listicle for "disrespecting the dead" or whatever.

to be clear yes i one hundred percent mandating that every data center construction permit require doing this

A wonderful deep dive by @fakerobhunter.bsky.social into the deeply relatable isolation of Koji Shiraishi’s Occult, and the terrifying road of madness it leads its viewers down. Definitely appreciated the care it gives the polarizing yet crucial acquired taste of its final, final moments.

He's discovered a brand new form of Catholicism called "Protestantism."

Oh dear.

We should probably thank activists in Minnesota and elsewhere, Bad Bunny, and everyone who has opposed/exposed ICE for the fact that there hasn't been more harassment and detention of foreign fans, refs, and players. A year ago, a US-hosted World Cup likely would've been uglier.

The World Cup hasn't gone as bad as it could in backsliding America, though it's had some incidents reflecting the new US: -Somali referee barred from entry -Iranian team treated like crap, forced to stay in Mexico despite playing games in the US -Now Egyptian team harassed in Dallas Any others?

"People that don't worry about income make cool things they're excited about with no constraints" isn't news but the fact that anyone at all can say it in the year of our economy 2026 kinda is news I suppose.

🚨 WE NEED YOU 🚨 As a new Prime Minister comes into power, we want to show that an overwhelming number of people support trans people, and want the government to take serious action to protect their rights. Will you say you stand with trans people? And share with everyone you know?

You have to hand it to Matt Goodwin, for a politician who has neither held elected office nor acted as a spokesperson for a party in a specific portfolio (sorry, President of Students4Reform doesn't count), he generates an impressive number of news stories.

My mom is mad at my dad because a feral peacock keeps coming to their house and staring through the glass door into the kitchen and it turns out it's because my dad has been secretly feeding it

You will never get the commentariat to care about this even a hundredth as much as they cared as that time a college girl wrote an OpEd about rape culture in the campus newspaper in 2018.

While there are some losses in higher education, the UK remains highly competitive in the easily preventable crisis sector

there are anti-tank ditches and bunkers where i used to pick mushrooms and blueberries (again very literally the exact forests). it's a TINY sacrifice in the larger scheme of things, but i'd still like it to count for at least a little appreciation, you know?

if the line moves west of us, guess what, congratulations, you've become the baltics.

"why should we care about the baltics" because the alternative is caring much later and much closer to home. every kilometer a line holds in lithuania is a kilometer it doesn't have to hold somewhere farther west.

and if shit does hit the fan, they should also want the line to stop as far east over here as possible - even just out of reasonable self-interest if they don't give a shit about the people in eastern europe per se, so it would make sense to help keep the line as close to russia's border as possible

also these people often seem to either not think about or not realize that the anti-tank trenches we're very literally digging right now for the baltic defense line protect the rest of europe as well

Another core problem is that it quickly becomes "why should we go to war for Poland", then for Germany, and then "wait why should we go to war for ourselves, actually?"
