It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

Freedom is just another name for “a gap in the law”.

Label Guy "OK so Mariah is doing a cover of an old Phil Collins song with some Irish boyband. Just take a normal photograph. You don't have to make it look like a Caravaggio painting or anything". Photographer:

So, to be clear, Reform UK want a state strong enough to carry out mass deportations but identity cards would be a step too far in terms of state power?

Huge news for a particular type of guy

If wrestling isn’t real then how do you explain this?

Scientists believe we could be just years away from discovering the opposite of "anti-fascist".

Today people went around my neighborhood in north east London spray painting St George’s crosses onto people’s homes. Many of these houses have non British people living in them. This is getting very dark, very quick.

Regarding "speaking ill of the dead" - lying is speaking ill.

Thanks to @lilliputpress.bsky.social for sending me this absolutely gorgeous leabhar on Irish names today. Some absolute stunning names in here.

Graham Linehan is like when the Animaniacs drive someone insane, but then he has to live the rest of his life like that

I see the Guardian hasn't reported the things that Linehan has actually said and done

I bet when he won his fifth (!) BAFTA he thought to himself "my sandwich board days are surely behind me now".

We've long passed the point where Starmer's rhetoric is "in danger of" getting migrants killed, and appear to be rapidly approaching the point where he'll publicly admit to being sad if they are not.

Jo Cox was murdered by a man with a house full of neo-Nazi agitprop and this was then retconned into a vague narrative about social media abuse

For the record, when I'm excited about "it happening" I mean Mindhunter Season 3

No10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today. Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.

Response from other parties. - Farage dialling up language of 'mass deportation' - Susan Hall and Gavin Williamson signing up to Restore Britain - Jenrick using the code of 'men from backward countries' to say he doesn't want any in any neighbourhood Badenoch + Starmer essentially mute on all this

What if they've deliberately taken their time to convince gullible clowns that it's not a genocide?

🤬 Woman who admitted incitement to violence and racism on Social Media and in Court was jailed for 2.5 years. Gets released early and British TV and media repeating what she said originally, give her prime spot on TV. Britain wonders why they have a problem which every day is getting more extreme?

Can't wait for the ITV drama about Lucy Connolly, a innocent woman guilty of nothing more than committing the crime of inciting racial hatred.

fundamentally the problem is that if you think "hotels are where I stay on holiday and I like being on holiday so living in a hotel must be fun and it's not fair others get to do it and not me" then you have the intellectual reasoning of a little child and it's going to be hard to engage with you

If earth based human life was wiped out tomorrow, the two human beings with the most durable material record would be disgraced ex President Richard Nixon, whose name is on the plaque on the moon, and former Nazi and UN Secretary General Kurt Waldheim, who sent fraternal greetings on Voyager

No, you see, John Boyne is entitled to free speech which means he can say and do what he wants, but nobody else is allowed to say or do anything that John Boyne doesn't like, because that's cancel culture.

“i have to use AI because i’m bad at drawingggg 😭😭😭”

They'll ban something as honorable and useful as Wikipedia before they reprimand social media companies that spread vaccine misinformation, manipulate elections and circulate image-based sexual abuse.

Can't fault the clarity of Labour's message on protest. There are BAD protesters who must be punished (Irish musicians, anti-genocide vicars) and there are GOOD protesters whose views deserve respect (masked thugs with petrol bombs trying to start a pogrom)

I hate being bald and walking the same direction as another bald guy. It looks like we’re being summoned by our king

Genoa's new away kit launch looks like someone showed Suella Braverman how to use AI

Humans are the smartest animals? You never see dolphins bring crying babies to the movies.

Vince McMahon: who’s there? show yourself! Hulk Hogan’s ghost: *carrying many chains* IN LIFE I WAS YOUR PARTNER DUDE, THESE ARE THE 24 INCH PYTHONS I FORGED IN LIFE BROTHER

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

It’s the Movie of the Summer for 48 years straight — that’s right folks, It’s ‘Sorceror’ Time™️

water left in a glass overnight tastes bad because it gets haunted

The singularity is awesome

To be fair to the Democratic Party freaking out of about Zohran Mamdani, it has never before had a previously unknown brown man with a foreign-sounding name and a gift for political communication rise to national prominance while defeating an incumbent backed by big money and the party's elites.

The Times of London has given Words for My Comrades a most stellar review www.thetimes.com/culture/book...

BBC 6 Music News tells me Musk wants to set up a ‘centrist’ party. Is great replacement theory centrism now? Btw almost all stories on 6 Music heads were about immigration - Labour can’t get down asylum hotel costs; Pam Bondi clip. Barely a single story about an actual news of a real world event

It isn't possible to design a school system where everyone leaves with the skills needed for the workplace because *they're all going to do different jobs*. Workplace training needs to be done by employers.

I do think that a better media would be interrogating how a Leader of the Opposition has ended up arguing that we shouldn't prosecute people for calling for burning down hotels with people in whilst people are burning down hotels with people in.

Sad news for gamers: GTA VI has been delayed another year after a pipe burst in the Rockstar office and all the little guys from the game got washed away

I wrote this, on the sad, sorry sight of Keir Starmer putting away the dog-whistle, and picking up the megaphone. www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle-co...

The White Rabbit hardback and trade paperback editions are here! Ireland and UK, you can buy these in your local bookshop from June 19

christ, what a day to be an immigrant cursed with the ability to read

Every picture of Mikel Arteta looks like a render from a stunning new PS3 game you'd see on the cover of Edge circa 2007

Utterly, utterly incredible. One of the most dramatic football ties I've watched in almost 20 years covering this sport. A reminder of why we all fell in love with it to begin with

new gender neutral greeting just dropped
