replace the police with a single emu he will sort things out

I recall a post on Trump's odd posture on display here that read something like "...he always looks like he's about to float off dreamily along the scent of a freshly baked pie"

I always thought the President of the United States, the Mayor of Crazytown and the village idiot should have been three different people. (paraphrased from a vintage tweet)

You'd think if there was one corporation steeped in every possible shade of good and bad and the complex, fractal-like boundaries between them from stories they've both written and retold who would stand up to fascists it would be fucking Disney.

A win for democracy and the anodine late night chat show sector 👍

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

America is way, way past the collecting its own piss in empty coke bottles all over the hotel room stage of its nervous breakdown. I don't think this stage has ever been chartered.

I'm hearing those numbers may even go up as high as eleventy nine nine-eighty flajillion dollars. Bonkers.

Imagine it was like, twelve.

Just watching the first episode of Bagpuss with the kids. THERE ARE TITS IN THE FIRST EPISODE OF BAGPUSS.

It was obvious when EU citizens had the terms of their settlement here retrospectively revoked that a precedent was being set and that, in time, the argument would move on to other categories of migrant, always tending towards a purity test of who is ‘indigenous’. Unless resisted.

Don't call them 'Brexit boats', that's silly and clearly a craven point that won't land. Much better to refer to the overall rise in crossings as 'Brexit-driven', because the data shows that fact quite starkly and can be used to back up the claim more directly.

The old rules of politics - civility, good chaps, honest disagreement, consensus on what is acceptable, what is possible limited by law & convention - now only exist to give the cover of respectability to people who will say anything to gain power, use it to harm those they hate, & never give it up.

"It's the immigrants." Look at this picture. It's these people.

Still... lot of weather we're having.

It’s almost cutely naive that serious people are earnestly discussing a) who exactly would be included in mass deportation plans and b) what impact it would have on existing treaties & agreements. The answers are: a) everyone they can, then more. b) they don’t give a fuck Fascists have no limits.

Nigel Farage: "We will abolish indefinite leave to remain (ILR) status", and "We will rescind ILR statuses that have already been granted". The first sentence is worryingly ignorant. The second sentence is frighteningly fascist.

A little over a month until the clocks go back. I think ours are all in the loft.

Just saw a guy absentmindedly pluck a tooth from his gums, roll it around between his fingers and flick it out the window

Hey, Britain - America has already touched the stove so we don't need to do that, okay?

a gf once asked me what I thought of her new lipstick and I said it made her look like ötzi the iceman

Why, thank you I'd LOVE to individually customise my consent for your seven thousand eight hundred and forty-eight advertising partners with no possibility of bypass in order to read the fourth line of the first verse of the lyrics to Toto's 'Africa', random low-traffic website.

Fuck the fucking BBC. I haven't watched a thin second of BBC output since the 2016 referendum, where the coverage and the corporation's positioning was nothing short of Trumpian. Fuck Question Time, while I'm here. Right in the center of that stupid fucking Q.

just got woken up by that twat samsung telling me to 'power up' my watch will this never end...

Installed Windows 11 earlier today for the first time, woah it's really shit isn't it?

Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan

eh?

I missed #FossilFriday yesterday, but from my sick bed playing with my microscope, here is a #fossil #spider from a sample of #Baltic #amber in my collection. You can see the pedipalps near the mouthparts, so this is a male. (apologies for the strobing - shite camera)

I don't know much about St. Paul, was he a terrible, terrible cunt?

JD Vance is really one of those unflushable types.

The Steve Vai Ibanez JEM DNA. £20,498 All the red in the swirl paint job is his blood, so you could always clone him, lock him in a basement and get him to make albums all day to pay it off.

They have a fucking TV station devoted to crying.

Silenced conservatives. You mean that group of people who never, ever, ever shut up about anything. Ever.

I was just watching Jacob Collier doing a song live and Chris Martin walked onto the stage and honestly if it wasn't for his stupid floppy beanie I swear the audience would have thought he was a roadie come to fix a monitor on the fritz.

Donald Trump wants to raise the retirement age because of the $1.6tn tax cuts he gave, 90% of which go to the 800 billionaires. You work forever so billionaires can be trillionaires and pay no tax. Are you happy with that?

LAND OF HOPE AND GLOOOORY (and disappointment when getting knocked out in the quarter finals)

urgh - back to school 'flu laying me flat for a second day. Played with our new hamster for a bit - she already has excellent control over the playball. Seems to enjoy going top speed then slamming on the brakes.

I'm beginning to think all of the bruises on the back of Trump's hand are from Melania violently snapping her hand away jesus

GOOD MORNING ANY GOOD NEWS OR NO?
