Have no idea what Ronaldo has done or is doing (Cheating of some fashion??) but everyone’s gif and meme game is ON POINT tonight. Very well done everyone.

Someone needs to smack the shite out of these cunts.

The "family" in this case being George Cottrell, who calls Farage "Daddy", so probably counts.

*shaking my wife awake* KRAKEN HAS SUSPENDED WITHDRAWALS OF BONK

Not at all shocked ngl. calmatters.org/politics/202...

The Pyrenees are on the French border with Spain not Italy. 🤦‍♀️

Once a man slid into my inbox to tell me my work is "dangerous" because I don't advocate for behavioral therapies for autistic children.

A Child’s View of Gaza" No 9 One of many drawings by the children of Gaza (2011) that Jewish orgs pressured an Oakland children’s museum to cancel. Community leaders say the shutting down of the exhibition was the result of a disturbing well-funded campaign to silence Palestinian voices in the US.

Honestly guys. If I'm going to have to accept all those cookies in order to read your page, and then the first thing you do is show be a picture of a fungal toenail, I really don't care what your website tells me. That's immediate back-button.

This is the wurst käse scenario

I for one think there should be no straights in Politics. Glad that Farridge is on-side

Perhaps we should all do up a balance sheet and see who owes who?

Far right influencer Michael McCarthy knowingly and willfully uses his public platform to incite abuse and harrassment against others, and even to silence a journalist. I can prove it because I’m the journalist he silenced, and I kept screenshots of our messages. leftinthelurch.net/2026/07/06/i...

In conclusion: "Brexit, in the end, did not reconfigure the EU so much as reveal its resilience. [...] In an age of renewed great-power competition, the EU remains the preferred vehicle for Europe’s mostly small countries seeking to defend their interests by working together."

MAGA Celebration of Freedom 250! #cdnpoli

It seems that there's a hypothetical/"pure" version of rural Ireland that's entered political discourse (that's different from the *actual* rural Ireland) that you're never allowed to mess with.

I'm no longer worried about SF gaslighting left voters by telling us they're left-wing. If the recent by-elections taught us anything it's that Sinn Féin can keep telling voters that they're left-wing all they like. Voters just won't believe them when they see their voting record. #spéirgorm

We're so used to automation deskilling workers that we can't fit a form of automation that can *only* be used by very skilled workers into our mental models And so bosses try to run the deskilling playbook anyway, over and over.

Completely misread that. I thought he was saying that it’s fun to go out of business.

So the collapse of the Rules Based order even infects the most corrupt game on earth? *shocked pikachu face*

Ah ok. So in 3-5 years it will collapse under the weight of vulture fund debt. The latter will walk off with profits and the employees will be former.

"To my mind, that is erasure dressed up as inclusion" wut? Being inclusive is the same as erasure? Transphobia rots people's brains in ever more inventive ways

Brilliant stuff from Una Mullally who has managed to turn this into an article without even mentioning it.

Reminded of when Kevin Rudd was LotO and “accidentally” went to a strip club in Singapore and it actually casher his personal approval ratings to go up slightly because people thought it made him seem less boring.

I’ll cackle if this causes a leadership spill. (Lowk fascinated by Australian spills, if you’re a political nerd and havnt watched the ABC’s Killing Season and Nemesis series - you are seriously missing out. Far better than any of the BBC produced stuff on Cameron-May-Johnson-Truss-Sunak).

Brits are asleep. Post cultural treasures.

Er alle irene norske nå?

Neymar is the Bolsonaro supporting one yes?

Make it make sense. When will news outlets properly interrogate this AI alarmism. If we've only got months at best, no entity could catch up anyway. This is just dumb.

Don’t the evangelicals love this stuff though? Surely their gawwwd is a-smitting them for their siiiiins?

It’s important for the youth to see themselves in literature.

Discussing this in his 6th year of rule out of the last 10? If USians were wondering why we’re pissed off with you it is your Nazis and the reaction by the rest of you. The country of Georgia has been demonstrating for 600+ days. Albania has been demonstrating against YOUR 1st family for 30+ days.

4% of us want a cranky, incompetent, corkonian Putin? Save our Souls. They walk among us.

Unironically this.

When I first read this 30 years ago, it was clearly SciFi. Re-reading it now, it feels like a different genre. (also, it holds up: Atwood is a great writer)

That it’s not been renewed for another season.

I ran an absolutely 100% human, zero AI-involvement at any stage passage of my writing through an "AI detector," curious if it could really tell human from AI work, and it said my own writing was "84% AI written" then asked I wanted to pay to have it "humanized." So there's that to keep in mind.

Jeffrey Donaldson was convicted of raping and sexually abusing female children

They’re so dull! Just mimicking the words of Drumpf from 2 years ago. Rightwingers have to be the dumbest sheeples.

Irish Sunday newspaper #frontpages - July 5th [Updated] derekmooney.ie/2026/07/04/i...

I’m gonna have to mute England and Mexico amnt I? #fussyFußballfeckers

All a bit of harmless marketing fun - until u remember England fans smashed windows of Italian resutrants in London after losing the Euro 2020 final ...

What is it with white men calling white male politicans ‘Daddy’? Goedemorgen Mark Rutte, je bent niet alleen.

I’ve lived in D.C. for nearly 20 years, and I have never seen this kind of Lord of the Flies panic on the National Mall. (video credit: MikeCarterTV)

This 20% off Frecciarossa might be of interest. Still worth cross-comparing with the Trenitalia site. #Speirgorm

Saw this ad for a goat on Facebook. It’s perhaps the greatest advert I’ve ever read. It’s just superb.

Who knew that all the weak people would fall to fascism so easily. All it took was to make them enraged about all the trans people they’ve never met in a public toilet.

They can just never not be racist can they. Ever.

The fact this book is nestled between one book on Irish tax and another by his erstwhile colleague Matt Cooper is *chefs kiss*
