Breaking: Supreme Court invalidates second majority-Black congressional district in Louisiana, effectively gutting last remaining part of Voting Rights Act

If they had split the letters the other way they would be inundated with entwife hen parties looking for the Stud Ents

It's one of those irregular verbs isn't it I call out inappropriate social media likes You comment on them They weponise them

Imagining the absolute squeals of glee in the newsroom when they found this one

By the time Americans are fully logged on half of bluesky will just be Brits saying "Boudicca Scheherazade" in increasingly silly voices. With no explanation. Good.

This is a good bruise to punch because in my experience people don’t know MPs are paid by twitter & are fucking furious when they find out

That's nice. You rarely get traditional Tdns made with real suet these days

Don't know what you mean, I think Boudicca's flat looks wheely knife

People aren’t driven to blame and attack innocent Jews because of Israel and Netanyahu, they’re driven to it because they hate Jews. No one’s going around stabbing American expats for being American over the war in Iran.

For many middle class people it is often worth considering a move to the public sector once you hit 50. You are, on average close to, or at, your private sector earning peak, and 15-20 years of defined benefit pension can go a long way

I am not worried about Trump actually convicting Comey, or building any kind of functional machine to stifle criticism or steal the midterms, but he has completely vaporized the norms against this kind of selective prosecution and thuggish intimidation, and there just isn't any way to rebuild those.

Damn, I forgot about it and left the Colin Catterpilar cake in the cupboard for weeks.

I hear Tommy tutone has been indicted by the time cops for threats against the 75309th president

Just got the best scam email in work its claiming to be from the gardaí about a criminal investigation but is written like a letter from the leprechaun in Darby o gill and the little people I have printed it out

Have to indict Jack and all the MAGA supporters who amplified this tweet.

"In the UK we called it 'Boss Cat' because we had a cat food brand called 'Top Cat' which, of course, was problematic for a publicly-funded BBC. However, it was lost on nobody that, whatever it was called, it was basically just Sergeant Bilko with cats, and that is what unites our countries today."

I've just realised that given the bar fight which inspired the murder ballad stagger lee happened on December 25 (1895) the Stetson hat in question may actually have been a mishearing/ corruption of Santa Hat. Puts a different spin on it, eh?

One of my pet theories about immigration policy is that voters basically don't tend to actually realise that this kind of thing is what a tough immigration policy inevitably leads to, so the US is a good case where any President is liable to be seen as too tough or too soft, with no middle.

I wanted to pitch a sort of "Margin Call" in the Purge Universe, where the Lehman Brothers proxy was putting together its regulatory liquidity statement on the evening when all crimes were legal.

Apparently I should clarify: this is not a joke. It literally was Bear Grylls. www.dailymail.com/news/article...

I keep thinking about how this is the same attitude as the immigration posts. 1. The public at large feels the system is broken and unfair 2. The right is happy to support that view 3. Much of the liberal / left is too scared to correct the public so 4. They offer ever increasing cruelty but...

AKA "no I said fuck *your* feelings, *my* feelings are very precious and delicate"

The MAGA reaction to the WHCD shooting is essentially: “We can say anything we want, no matter how vicious, racist, incendiary or violent, but if you call us fascists or Nazis, that’s an obvious incitement to political violence and possibly criminal.” (new @ms.now column)

The more disturbing thing is not that this reads like a YouTube comment, it's that it clearly reads like a truth social post. Depressing on so many levels

What?

An evergreen cartoon 🤣

You cannot, in fact, just tell the DWP that you think you’re depressed or ADHD and have them throw money at you! That is not how it works, or has EVER worked.

It must have been a very small knife

Well yes, that went without saying

This can't be real can it?

Great point in a great thread. I genuinely believe you can explain every pathology in British politics through “it’s considered acceptable, frankly even a sign of good taste, to be snobbish and ignorant about Milton Keynes”.

Everyone else is posting about how stupid it is (and they're right to do so) but a lot of this is downstream from the Wedding Industrial Complex that has set expectations that weddings need to cost tens of thousands of pounds and require planning & logistics more detailed than pre trump us military

"once immigration is fixed we can turn to cost of living and the economy" is quite the FAFO set of policies in a country with our demographics.

Isn't this the MP who was posting about how it wouldn't hurt her constituents if universities closed?

So I guess Nick "groper" Cohen is going to be one of the few people suitable for a government job under this test.

Some kind of fossil fuel subsidy will become a political necessity in the UK over the coming months. But we need politicians to talk about the domestic, environment and global trade offs of this. But the problem is they won't, and the political dynamics won't incentivise this.

It's very funny to see alleged greens responding to this with "the UK doesn't use that mus fossil energy, there will still be plenty for the poor countries" without realising that's exactly the same argument the right uses for why we don't need to cut CO2 emissions but China and India do

A fifth less supply is a fifth less supply. If the government loads up on debt to subsidise everyone in the UK using the same amount they were previously using the world’s poorest people, who will will outbid for the remain supply, will physically run out of fuel. It really is that simple.

This is also especially funny when they use the term US in the same sentence. Yeah, you sure showed us up for fools what with the way we use UK.

It's always handy when someone uses the term yookay, as it lets you know the racist brain worms have got them

How Volodymr Zelenskyy manages to survive in a literal war without a ballroom to keep him safe is just shocking to me.

It's a typo for "picnic" You won't be able to afford to drive into the countryside and you won't be buying any nice food

All this ballroom business reminds me of that beautiful moment of hope after the assassination of JFK when both sides of the house came together and bought Jackie Kennedy a car with a roof.
