"The last time I checked, Northern Ireland did vote to leave." Kemi Badenoch has mistakenly said Northern Ireland "voted to leave" the EU as she defended her party's record on Brexit. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Next up, look for the Trump administration to spam the Social Security Administration's email list with political propaganda — they've done it before. Don't believe their lies. Republicans control the White House and both chambers of Congress. They own this shutdown.

When good people don't want to be called fascists, they don't do fascist stuff, when bad people want you to stop calling them fascist, they do more fascism until you stop.

Saying you can be put in prison for calling people fascists is literally fascism.

“I would gently point out to Nigel Farage that before we left the EU we had a returns agreement with every country in the EU. He told the country it would make no difference if we left. He was wrong about that. These are Farage boats in many senses coming across the channel” 👏 PM Keir Starmer

Just saw a podcast where they referred to a 38 year old man as a kid; if he's a kid, I'm not too old to play James Bond.

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

Seeing american sports fans at the golf over the weekend, I am a little concerned at how a Bad Bunny Big Game half-time show will be received.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social You are praising a conman in your own party while simultaneously saying you will fight the conman in The White House. The former is why no one believes you on the later.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I thought this was interesting in terms of "football-ification": two comedians discuss how americans support sports teams vs supporting political parties. youtu.be/wM7hyK5ylR0?...

Just watched One Battle After Another, I really liked it. I'm sure this has been expressed elsewhere but I can't believe they made this movie last year.

Accidentally did an Anthony Ramos double-bill at the cinema today: Hamilton; which I appreciate is a musical but was very female skewing audience and Twisters in 4DX in which the seats weren't moving during the first twister.

The Hang-On extreme gear was a 21 year old reference when Sonic Riders came out in 2006. The Blue Star extreme gear is a 19 year old reference in Sonic Racing Crossworlds.

Got my first online win on Sonic Racing Crossworlds last night!

This has been a lot.

Reading between the lines it’s pretty clear A) Sinclair bowed to pressure from customer complaints and the resulting advertiser complaints, and B) they got nothing out of the deal, but are trying to frame it as they are reasonable listeners who lost nothing even though that’s not the case.

Sinclair caved in 3 days. Jimmy returns to 40 more stations. This is a win for free speech and anti fascism.We don’t get many. Keep fighting. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/26/s...

Today’s digital ID announcement yet another example of how X being the main platform for political discourse will inevitably throw the MSM’s coverage off course, because online right opinion is fevered/way off the beat with the public. Guess who need digital/reliable ID most? Those in poverty.

Happy birthday, Steve McNulty! 🥳 Any excuse to watch this volley again 😍

I'm starting to suspect that despite being told it would arrive today, that my package will in fact NOT arrive today.

If you don't want to be called a Nazi, maybe you could call off the Brownshirts.

They didn’t vote for Trump to raise wages or expand healthcare or improve the standard of living in this country. They voted for him so that they could dunk on their enemies online. Don’t take my word for it. Take theirs.

There's more content racing around the corner in Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds! Digital Deluxe Edition owners will gain access to special characters, vehicles, and tracks through our Season Pass. All players will also be able to enjoy Free Content Drops through 2026. Stay tuned!

I think the other Nick characters leaked when Spongebob did so maybe they felt they had to announce them, but it feels strange to me they keep revealing new characters and then punting TMNT & Avatar down the road.

JUST ANNOUNCED: Mega Man will join #SonicRacingCrossWorlds as a part of the Season Pass DLC Alongside him includes Proto Man, the Rush Roadstar vehicle, and Willy's Castle as a track!

Sonic Racing Crossworlds, officially launches tomorrow (I know), and there are still 10 Free post-launch racers to be revealed. Now I covered what Sega characters I thought they were going to include here but I thought I would take a punt knowing we have 10 to reveal (1/5) bsky.app/profile/chan...

I get, in isolation, how the Luke force-projection in The Last Jedi is a good jedi-using-the-Force-but-not-for-violence idea, but in the movie, as the 151st subversion: "one last trick, I was never really here" would work better if not followed by "one more last trick, I am now dead. for reasons"

Not linking it here but saw a guy on TikTok who called himself a filmmaker, said he was using AI for his next film and challenged everyone to really think about what they know about AI, and where they get their info from. First comment explained it is theft and he was like "oops, didn't know that."

Jimmy Kimmel fried Dumbass Donald and his coterie of Trumpfluffers with his monologue last night. This is epic. Suck on this Brendan Carr and every other enemy of free speech in America youtube.com/watch?v=c1tj...
