A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

Being a dual citizen is weird sometimes. Saw a big ‘TRY JONATHON ROSS FOR MURDER!’ sign this morning,& instantly wondered what Wossy had been up to

Did you know that since the SNP nationalised Scotrail it has helped to contribute £4Bn to the Scottish economy, instead of paying out dividends to rich shareholders? indyposterboy.scot/nationalised...

Years I have lived in Texas: 24 Times I have been bothered by an undocumented Mexican person: 0

@barcajim3.bsky.social Happy new year, pal!

“it is illegal for you not to like me”

Man who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax and moved his business to Singapore after the Brexit he voted for wants your sympathy.

Whenever some guy is MeToo’d, I’m still always surprised at how many people are shocked. Like… have you never met any men who work in media??

How is this for trickle down economics? A RAND report found that if the system in place before 1975 had stayed in place, the bottom 90% of Americans would have almost $80 trillion more in 2023 than they actually did www.rand.org/pubs/working...

Nobody loves Ireland more than a white American person who has been there one or zero times

The fact that so many American parents (boomer& older) expect their adult kids to spend what paltry time they get off work traveling to see them is next-level shit

They’re trying to do reparations for white people.

Love Marcus Rashford even more now since I just saw him ask the Guadalajara player for his shirt too 😭

The trauma after the storm: Hurricane Melissa leaves trail of emotional devastation across Jamaica

The Oxenham Arms pub in South Zeal, Devon, boasts the unusual distinction of having been constructed by 12th Century monks around a prehistoric standing stone. If you’re lucky and visit at the right time of day, as I did today, you might also see it being recharged with sacred energy by the sun.

Tommy Robinson and his far right goons are holding a carol service to honour the birth of a displaced Middle Eastern refugee who started a religion that explicitly emphasized a belief in universal love, peace and tolerance over earthly nations and division. Dimmer than broken Christmas tree lights

"..the Lord said I was hungry and you told me I could make a meal for 30p, I was a stranger and you said 'fuck off back where you came from', I was sick and you said we should replace the NHS with private health insurance..."

If you have LED headlights on your car, just know I want you dead

Can any doctor seriously tell me why gynecological procedures are still usually done without painkillers or anesthesia? It’s barbaric. Anything medical that men also get done (dentistry work, dermatology procedures, colonoscopies etc) comes with an array of pain mitigation and/or knock-out measures

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Happy St Andrew’s Day to Scots, wherever you are in the world!

If this is true she should never work as a journalist again.

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

I will be at Creative Conversations - 1pm at Glasgow Uni on Monday 1st December. This is a wonderful event in a beautiful venue (the university memorial chapel!) and it's free! Reserve your place at link below. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/creative-c... #Scotland #Glasgow #Writing #Reading

good work guys you picked a fight in which Dems can stand up out of their permanent defensive crouch and go “our guy is a fucking astronaut and you’re an alcoholic tv host”

No woman needs to think about it for a minute. We’ve all lived it. Substitute piggy with bitch, honey, missy, young lady, little lady…the list goes on. The best response I’ve found is, “I’ve either confused or intimidated you. Which is it, and what do you need me to explain?”

I think about it every fucking day. And this from @volts.wtf 👇

Very good work from Scottish Ballet here (from their Facebook account)

Yep

Scotland is going to the World Cup!

Went to a Sarah Millican gig last night. I have never seen so many busty women in one place in my life
