I’ll never forget the look of hatred Nigel Farage had for me at school, simply for existing Yinka Bankole

Labour's first act as a new government should have been to implement Leveson 2. But it was too cowardly to do so, now it is reaping the whirlwind of it's own cowardice.

“Signed contracts for Manhattan homes costing $4 million or more rose to 176 in November, a 25% increase over October…” A different firm estimated November’s luxury apartment sales increased 31% MILLIONAIRES MOBBING MAMDANI’S MANHATTAN

Now is a chance for the right wing press to show that they oppose all anti-semitism, rather than just that shown by Jeremy Corbyn’s mates. I’m confident they’ll take it.

Reminder.

1) good, they should be prosecuted, they are responsible for countless deaths 2) always very funny when these people realize the extent to which their billionaire patrons could not possibly give less of a shit about them

I see Peter Bradshaw thinks Predator:Badlands is as good as The Fellowship of the Ring! Gave it the same rating, anyhow.

Party that cut 20,000 police officers between 2010 and 2017 promises to recruit 10,000 when they never win power again.

I’m no fan of Reeves, but earning the criticism of Mervyn King definitely raises her stock

Here Lam explicitly sets out her proposal - which is official Conservative Party policy - to deport long-standing legal permanent residents who have *ever* claimed any benefit, including the state pension or child benefit (even if the child is British), or who earn less than £39K.

This is such an evocative piece of the Legendarium. The Blue Wizards (the "they" here) are cool and all, but Eastern humans fighting stubborn guerrilla war against Sauron for millennia, opening a path for Frodo and Aragorn, remaining forever unknown and unthanked...

A great article from Rachel, who really understands the heart and soul of Dad’s work.

And making theft illegal would “kill” the thieving industry. Good. Make theft illegal again.

Calling English a 'rip-off degree' is one of the most blatant exhibitions of personal barbarism I've ever seen. You've demonstrated nothing but the poverty of your own mind.

We have built a society in which people of different skin tones, religious backgrounds & cultures get along, share power, work alongside each other, procreate with each other, recognise the each other’s humanity and democratic rights. It is a STUNNING ACHIEVEMENT OF WORLD HISTORIC PROPORTIONS.

Sounds *exactly* like Starmer's UK, doesn't it?

Elon Musk is a radicalised extremist openly championing the most racist faction who would deport the Foreign Secretary, the Leader of the Opposition, the Justice Secretary and the last Prime Minister The govt silence about such a level of extremism is craven: infinite tolerance of racial hatred

“This is a government that is by, and for, the CEOs and billionaires,” the AFL-CIO’s President Liz Shuler said.

Biscuit, celebrating her 5th birthday and wondering why we don't take the hint of her constantly sitting in a suitcase and take her on holiday #catsofbluesky

The British media class has gone stark, raving mad. This is fascism. And they’re strolling into it, whistling.

But note to Labour - this is where your pandering gets you, the others just get more ludicrously extreme to put distance between you: stop it.

And to think Angela Rayner was forced to apologise for calling them 'scum'.

your opponents are nazis, you have the moral high ground by default and the moral high ground and five bucks will get you a cup of coffee

Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards!

Right? I have. And they are.

SNP says Nigel Farage's renewable energy 'sabotage' will 'turn Aberdeen into Detroit' www.scotsman.com/news/politic...

Did I just realise in a stroke of genius that The Walking Dead and Watership Down are the same story or is it just very hot? But come on... same guy.

Shameful. Disgusting. Dangerous.

Carers like me connect patients and doctors – so why are we so often made to feel invisible? | Emily Kenway

Damn right.

Elon helped put into power a political party that doesn’t believe in climate change or renewable energy. Time for him to take a look in the mirror.

Because they're white supremacists

I finally agree with Netanyahu on something: leaders that allow their troops to target hospitals should not be “allowed to exist”.

The Polish foreign minister, a writer and journalist who covered the Soviet war in Afghanistan in the 1980s, clearly knows a thing or two about a patiently-timed response.

Speaking as someone who was travelling during the original broadcast time for #DoctorWho and had to catch up late last night, thank you so much to all the media organisations who put the twist in their FUCKING HEADLINES.

Man of the people? The millionaire, right-wing, private schooled, city banker, who claims an EU parliament pension and pays his taxes in Belgium? You've been had by this grifter. Wake up and smell the Rubles!

Boris Johnson said the same thing, and that was horse shit too.

He enjoys domination and exercising power over the weak, so he loves the moment where he gets to say “We’re gonna hit you with 50%” and everyone gasps in shock and he gets to watch people suffer and he gets to feel strong. It’s about dopamine and if he stops pushing that button the dopamine stops

I quite like Scrivener, but basically any attempt to force me to be organised is doomed to fail.

Enough small plates restaurants exist now. Give me large plates restaurants, for the greedy who hate sharing food.

Pls report "sorry we are experiencing unusually high call volumes" messages, we are testing if firms play it for EVERY call If you call a bank, broadband, mobile, energy, water firm report via www.moneysavingexpert.com/report-high-... Its our final data collection before we contact worst offenders

I don't know about these traded accusations: "emboldening Hamas" v "murdering thousands of babies" is such a difficult one, isn't it?

Dear press: Why do questions of mental acuity activate only with the prior but not the current administration? Asking for a nation.

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

The word "can" is doing some heavy lifting here. It's not mandatory (how could it be!) so you can replace "can" with the phrase "do not have to". And TBH any business that chooses to operate on the basis of interrogating customers about their genitals isn't going to be a business for much longer.
