The whole thing is worth a watch, I'm not a fan of the 'owning' discourse about debates but Hasan really does give him a right pasting

It would certainly appear so:

This is fantastic - read it! (And subscribe to James for more)

Can you trust American anymore? Why not try European? I’ve tried some of these since last autumn and am in the middle of transferring to Europe = exiting US services. #digitalisation #digitalservicea

Jamiroquai when Jamiro vewwy sad

in case you're curious about how angry Minnesota is about ICE, it was -20 today

Ok! Mar-a-Lago

The best way of describing someone who’s all talk and no action that I’ve ever heard in the UK, by far, is “they’re all wardrobe and no Narnia.” * read on for fun ways of saying “all talk and no action” in other languages (a thread)

Here's Tillie Martinussen listing out why Greenlanders would never agree to be Americans. She's the Chairwoman of Greenland's Cooperation Party and a former member of the island's "Inatsisartut" parliament. #HandsOffGreenland 🇬🇱🕊

Why punctuation is important.

I’d love Starmer to be a bit more Carney, but there is some very relevant context:

TRUMP: fink Flumpo dink. Finn filling dunno. Youth Yuko thinks. Bono book bank. Bono book bank. Bono book bank. BBC News: this is a classic press conference technique from a president. this is something that normally happens. this is good and normal. it's fine. it's very fine.

Trump, who is not mad, has made 30 Truth Social posts in the last 30 minutes, topics including Muslims in the UK, Biden stealing the election, how right he is on Greenland, and other topics.

The look on the dog’s face speaks for us all

“I no longer feel obligated to think purely of peas”

“I no longer feel an obligation to think of peace”

One thing to watch for in European leaders’ responses to Trump’s claims relating to Greenland, is the language they use. It might not seem like much, but it will have long-term consequences. 1/8

UK to become airstrip one?

2024: can Europe defend itself ALONGSIDE America? 2025: can Europe defend itself WITHOUT America? 2026: can Europe defend itself AGAINST America?

This would be the greatest vassalage since King John paid homage to Phillip II at Le Goulet in 1200.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

BREAKING news

Worth every second

The prize goal for Stephen Miller and others who surround Trump is to trigger both the Alien Enemies Act and the Insurrection Act - formal bases for unlimited executive power. A great deal of what is being done is simply them working backwards from that objective.

THREAD. The definitive list of the absolute best interdimensional portals I have photographed on walks in the British countryside. 1. Gateway To The Land Of Leaping Dogs.

Meme going around here that the Grok policy change (around only generating images when @ed by a paid user) was a “hallucination”. It wasn’t, it’s a real policy change; the misreporting is that this does NOT limit free users from generating images using other interfaces for Grok, such as its app.

My son and I can't attend the Arsenal Women game against Man U tomorrow. Am very happy to transfer the tickets (family enclosure) for free to anyone who has not yet had the chance to see the Champions of Europe in action. Just DM me with your members' numbers and I'll do the rest. #COYG 🔴⚪

Fight fire with fire and…

@vickyfoxcroftmp.bsky.social really no excuse for you or the Labour Party to be active on X. It absolutely disgusting that X permits and facilitates generation and distribution of CSAM and unauthorised ’deepfake’ photos and videos. Now would be an opportune moment to move away from this platform.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

If you haven't watched this evening's episode of The Traitors, I encourage you not to look at the front page of tomorrow's Daily Express. At least the Mail has hidden their spoiler on p.3.

Something interesting you might not have realized: a number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable, but VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable. "Your CONduct is better when you conDUCT yourself appropriately.” 🧵⬇️

Was about to google how often this word is used in common parlance, but...

Move fast and break stuff/laws?

I'm not a diplomat, but one thing I have to do regularly is to draft or help to draft public statements that parties to litigation agree as part of a settlement. There is an art to drafting something that reasonable readers can agree is clear but from which they draw irreconcilable meanings. /1

Guess who’s back, back again:

In case you missed it ... Here's Katherine Hepburn exposing a fascist plan to take over America in the 1942 film "Keeper of the Flame". The parallels between that plot and what's happening in the USA and elewhere today is staggering!

I did a test to see if I could remember all the Roman numerals, but I forgot 1, 1000, 51, 6 and 500. IM LIVID!

Draining the Swamp update:

Bringing this energy into 2026

this is like when a footballer fouls an opponent and then stays down, feigning injury, in the hope the ref won’t book him

oh my god, I thought they were just inept and couldn't find the redaction menu, but this is so much better
