Fearful Americans Stockpiling Facts Before Federal Government Comes To Take Them Away https://theonion.com/fearful-americans-stockpiling-facts-before-federal-gove-1819579589/

My degree was American Studies. I remember a rather lofty history professor who'd argue that America's constitution made it the strongest republic in the world. Who knew that republic would die with barely a whimper and that fabled constitution was just a piece of paper no one was willing to defend?

Oh man, these clowns are going to be absolute comedy gold.

The 🧵 we’ve all been waiting for…

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Not to be confused with this guy, presumably? www.thenational.scot/news/2543204...

If at this point you still have Twitter/X please for the love of that’s good, delete it. Even if you only use it every now and then , you’re still a mark on that disgusting man’s spreadsheet.

Share your favourite cover versions I have two that I love more than anything in the world. First up, Jane Birkin's cover of Harvest Moon, fragile, delicate, beautifully arranged and so moving: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOmg...

Completely heartwarming and fabulous thing of the day (see the YouTube link in the thread below for the full glory):

I’ve lost track of exactly what counts as a resigning issue nowadays, but a 10-page love letter to a dead paedophile would presumably be on the list

The failure of the government to denounce these thugs is completely fucking sickening.

Spoken to my trans nephew this morning on the back of this WhatsApp message. He was challenged by an elderly man about his choice of toilet. The pub was in a relatively wealthy suburb of Leeds. Despicable behaviour!

At the core of transmisogyny is, inevitably, misogyny itself. The viciousness with which some people trash trans women for how they look, or their supposed artificiality, or perceived errors in their behaviour, comes from a fundamental loathing of any women who doesn’t conform to their expectations.

When I was announced as the lead in a Doctor Who spinoff in 2023 Graham Linehan tweeted about me for TWO DAYS, tagging the BBC and others to say that I am pro-child abuse and they shouldn't work with me.

You have to be thick as a brick to welcome transphobes into your new left-wing party. This is basic stuff

Polanski's campaign stayed abreast of his poll bounce - he went for the jug(s)ular and didn't make any major boobs. His knockers won't be tittering now.

I largely agree with this analogy. The main difference is that the dysfunction in No.10 is a serious problem, whereas the Man U clown show is objectively hilarious and provides a major boost to societal wellbeing

You know when you hear a song for the first time and it's obviously an instant classic? What lyrics! What an epic tune!

BREAKING NEWS! In partnership with the BBC and top regional productions, we're launching Northern Directors – a paid shadowing and mentoring programme for talented short-form directors ready to take the next big step in their careers. bit.ly/fhn-nd 🎬

Oh my days, how do I love the Honey Lantree story. Delve in if you don't know her...

A free creative writing opportunity for 18–25 year olds in Yorkshire ✍ Applications are now open for Life in a Northern Town, a playwriting course led by Northern Broadsides. 1/3

The Statue Defenders guarding a monument to George Eliot remains one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen

think that if "we must debate the fascists not no-platform them!" is your view then we have probably reached the stage, globally, where you may wish to wonder if your preferred way of doing things is actually working

Obviously the smears against this man are incredibly libellous - and it says a lot about access to the law that he wouldn't be able to afford to Lord McAlpine these fuckers - but at what point does the government clock that it needs to get a grip on this raging online fire of fascist hate?

A downtempo trip-hoppy classic. Keeps you waiting 2 delicious mins to drop that sweet beat. youtu.be/zMo2y1_uqe0?...

www.reddit.com/r/transgende... Guess what? The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions. Want to know what really happened and how colleagues stood up for her? Read her own account here.

Terence Stamp. Michael Caine. Glenda Jackson. Tom Courtenay. Rita Tushingham. Alan Bates. The British film industry in the 60s was built on the faces of fresh, exciting working class actors.... .... and now we're wall-to-wall Redmaynes, Pikes and Cumberbatches.

A treat for Terence Stamp fans. @markcousinsfilm.bsky.social takes him through his career and wonderful stories ensue. youtu.be/ViJ3BoeS-kQ?...

Utter sartorial joy to enliven your Monday morning.

I am one of the 14 authors who chose to leave the Polari Prize, and I find myself frustrated and saddened at the way this entire story has been represented. 1/

Burn it all down, burn it to the ground. They're going to destroy us.

THE APARTMENT: Billy Wilder's finest, a fizzing screwball comedy with every single line as sharp as a tack - but with a darkness that's shockingly bold and a tenderness and care for its two lonely leads that never strays into sentimentality even in the last joyful seconds: "Shut Up And Deal!"

Stop scrolling, weary traveler, and rest for a moment

Funny kind of feminism that ends up attacking women who don't conform to a very narrow definition of gender norms. But then it was always about attacking difference, wasn't it? What a dangerous cult the GC world is. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Presumably the free drinks didn't help

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

Ringo the affectionate scruffball of a moggy wishes you all a very happy #InternationalCatDay

It's my pleasure to report that Our King has delivered another all-time classic: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wolf Alice have been in a rich vein of form for a while, but I think they're on the verge of being the best band in the UK right now. The first three songs from the new album have all been incredible - this new one is a 70s folk rock influenced belter! youtu.be/zKVOPB7e5N8?...

What a fantastic test series that has been, and a draw actually feels like a fair result. Both teams have been nothing short of magnificent. #thecricket

Magnificently insane sport, couldn't love it more 🏏

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles

Boggling that the case of a nurse verbally abusing a trans Doctor got this far when there were all these racist WhatsApps waiting to drop.
