Let’s face it, sundials outsmart MAGAs

*This* is why we ORC

The UK recognising the Palestinian state feels like a step, albeit a baby step, towards the moral authority we used to hold prior to 2016

Surely even MAGA types must now be thinking that they elected the village idiot

Brexit has probably never more succinctly put than this

As ever, the free speech right wingers don’t want *you* to have free speech while the supposedly anti-free speech left wingers stand up for free speech

Some OSINT for Americans:

Grief is the most illogical of all emotions; you can be toasting muffins, happy as Larry, and then there it is

The brain/talent drain in the US is becoming a whirlpool

Two double espressos is my limit in the morning. One can only find this out by having three. Regret.

Never seen #JimmyKimmel before, nor heard him, nor heard of him. So it makes ‘I stand with Jimmy Kimmel’ rather difficult. But my enemy’s enemy is my friend

‘Security concerns’ the BBC’s euphemism for ‘this is a president so intensely loathed by the British public he has to be kept well away from them.’

Oh my god, Subway now do jacket potatoes. Game changer.

Actually, Jacob was at school with Charlton Hypocrite-Imbecile

If they invite Andrew, it’ll be like Radio 4’s The Reunion

I’m not religious in the slightest, but this makes my blood boil

This is real courage of a type too rarely scene in either side of the Atlantic.
