NEW: The biggest union in the BBC, Bectu, has written to culture secretary Lisa Nandy and BBC chair Samir Shah, demanding the removal of Robbie Gibb from the BBC Board. They say Gibb, a political appointee, is a “direct block to the BBC maintaining its chartered objective of independence”.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

this is the intro cutscene in a game where you make children play soccer

Only on TV and radio, and in magazines, and movies... and at ball games, and on buses and milk cartons… and T-shirts and bananas, and written on the sky, but never on fridges

Jesus Christ, I would have been fired into the sun by the US Attorney if I pulled this shit

Dear Auntie You will be surprised to hear that I am going to prison tomorrow.

This is far worse than anyone expected. Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps. All as mass internment camps are being built.

To be fair, this is a different between a 15 year old and a five year old, but there is no difference between raping a child and raping a different child. You can't even drink in the US until you're 21, but apparently 15 is fine to be groomed?!

Some nice thunderbastards in here, although a lot of the nominees fall into the same, cracked into the top corner from just outside the box category, but that Ovalle goal remains absolutely ridiculous www.fifa.com/en/the-best-...

Side note: there's this tendency to Other pedophiles as inherent to particular unpopular castes like priests or billionaires, whereas really any opaque culture of empowered men and powerless kids, can produce it

"Why not Wes Streeting?" idk, maybe ask why the LGBTQIA+ community despise the little cunt. Caitlyn Jenner levels of, uh yeah, can you maybe not think of her when you think of us.

You been hit by a smooth hymnal

Did Underage Girls Ruin Politics? Tomorrow in the @nytimes.com

We're in the "raping young teenage girls isn't pedophilia" part of the cope from MAGA. These people are evil.

I'm sure playing at 1pm and 12:30pm in the middle of an LA summer won't have any negative impacts what-so-ever on player safety or the game itself.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

This is why I crash out about “cultural competency” Here’s why . Article was about Johnny Cash . And it’s a prime non racialized example of why context matters and moderation that rewrites culture along power lines misss a critical facets Also AAVE Becoming “Gen z” slang

I want to uplift the women who were girls who were raped by Epstein & Maxwell & Trump & ex-Prince Andrew & abandoned by everyone who's been scrambling lately to say that they didn't know of course they didn't know but they did know & some of them knew because they'd done it too.

When startups talk about "disrupting" things, this is what they mean.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

forgot I did this this morning, little more generic here for all your foil hat needs

Amaiur. That is all.

Releasing the Epstein files could have a chilling effect on future presidents' ability to hide their history of raping children on a private island owned by a convicted sex offender.

I love this.

Detransition is being used as political fodder by the Trump admin and its allies to support extreme anti-trans policies. In the process, the reality of detransition is lost. For our new series, I spoke with detransitioners who feel harmed by the Trump admin. Their stories are complex and important.

One of my favourite movie quotes of all time remains, "They make take our lives, but they'll never take our bagels." famously from Chutzpahheart

Indictment of the unnecessary rise of cult of personality types, that started as people having a brand and morphed into relentless drivel. "Smith hasn't ruled out running for POTUS" / McAfee spreads false rumour about a teenage girl. What the shit are we doing here people

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

If you loved being stuck between a rock and a hard place, get ready for: being stuck between an insufferable cunt and shithead prick

Once again, if you wrote a story in which the jetsetting corrupt FBI chief took a government plane to the "Boondoggle Ranch" an editor would tell you to get a different job, because you're not cut out for writing believable stories.

Whether you say the job of a head coach is to man manage or make in-game calls or develop young players or argue for better signings (etc etc) two HCs in the same league won’t be necessarily be doing the same job, because not all teams are equal. You can talk about parity all you like,

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

useless fucking country, you'd have better governance from a fart in a vacuum

a new #ALeagueWomen report released today has some shocking stats, including that over half the league experienced sport-related psychological distress in the 2024-25 season. the PFA is urgently requesting change as the league slips further behind. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

It’s so on the nose though?

We are always saying that.
