The what

Maybe one day I’ll sleep past half six, today is not that day

I have the utmost respect for Senator Kaine and Senator Warner but we do not need “coaching” on redistricting coming from a cuck chair in the corner. How about you all stay focused on the fascist in the White House and let us handle redistricting in Virginia. 10-1

My shopping app gathers too much data on me, why would I want the state to do the same?

You know you're real feminist warriors for women and especially lesbians when you're backed by the anti-abortion and homophobia financiers the Christian Legal Centre

The use of the changing room by Rose was ruled *not* to be harassment, and that aspect of the claim was dismissed. (Paragraph 3) This looks like the usual case, as we see so often in these judgements, of one side getting carefully crafted quotes and press releases out first to spin the narrative.

Not particularly invested but I think “volunteers” is the key words being ignored

Meanwhile in the UK, a Palestinian *citizen* of Israel has won his asylum battle and has been deemed a refugee due to the "substantial evidence of systematic discriminatory practices against Palestinians in Israel: apartheid, forced removal, restrictions of rights and exclusion from society”.

Apologies for being self-referential but

why would it be the Europeans triggering WWIII when the US would be the ones invading Greenland this is akin to saying Poland triggered WWII because it did not surrender the moment the Germans fired on the Westerplatte

BBC linking to a source that directly contradicts the article, naturally

Learning that a group of anarchist fighters in Myanmar have developed the 21st century’s coolest new flag

Sabotaging public goods in the service of private interests.

The 'give ice qr codes' thing reminds me of when Sarah Everard was murdered by a real policeman using his real police id to kidnap her, and the police & gvt made out the solution was to have a helpline to check that the person bundling you away was a real policeman (as the murderer was)

Isn’t this the point of the 2nd amendment? To allow Americans to defend themselves against tyranny - what is the ICE presence if not a threat to “the security of a free State”?

It amazes me that so-called "serious folk" in the US are failing to realise that the next two generations of European policymakers are going to be incredibly more inclined towards anti-Americanism than any generation since the interwar era.

what has happened in minneapolis is not actually comparable, however horrible, to the seizure of the homeland of a sovereign nation. get a grip and leave my replies

Harriet has done the exact same thing as Fiona did except far angrier, shouting at a faithful, surely she’ll get herself banished for that #thetraitors

the good TV spirit left Fiona’s body and rushed into Harriet’s #TheTraitors

Gender criticals treated the Cass Review as the word of God, and cast anyone disagreeing with it as dangerous/unscientific/not fit for polite society. But now the entire GC movement is united in opposing a puberty blockers trial, despite it being something Cass called for. They are not honest people

I feel obliged to share this masterpiece from my brother:

I get why people talked about Heated Rivalry so much now, it’s not high art and it’s not trying to be but it’s very watchable

This would likely see Labour excluded from government entirely, after over a century as the dominant party in Wales

I think it went (slightly) better this time

So, when are we going to talk about the fact that all of the anti-trans supposed "women's rights" activists do the vast majority of their political organising on the CSAM and nudification app?

One thing that unites these people, above all else, is there never ending, self-pitying WHINING. The "very painful things" they wrote were facts that you avoided tax, had to pay millions in fines, hid it whilst Chancellor then threatened legal action against anyone who reported it.

Kemi, this is just a population density map

Trump: London is a “warzone” Farage: London is “in the grip of a crime wave” Reform’s new mayor candidate Laila Cunningham: people “pity Londoners” because it “is no longer safe” Musk: “Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die” The truth:

a true stealth tax. enormous rise in income tax on the top half of the distribution, but grandfathered in so it didn't hit Tory voters.

Whoever is designing clothes for RSPB needs a pay rise, this stuff is incredible

Well I hope she didn’t eat the cats

Was trying to sell the tickets I had for hockey on 10th Feb, don’t think they’re going to sell now somehow.

Appeasement never works, they simply shouldn’t have given the award to someone who wants to bomb her own country

X is paying Reform UK MPs while its AI produces sexually explicit images of children and women, the public deserves answers. Will they return the money they’ve earned from the platform? 1/6

And Renee Good’s last words appear to be “We’re not mad at you.”

"I think the grenade yesterday was a good move" - armless woman

The level of quixoticism at this point is like Kemi Badenoch spending all day trying to win over Your Party voters. What part of ‘no’ does Blue Labour not understand?

Frey: "This notion of inflammatory comments -- c'mon guys. I dropped an F bomb, they killed someone. Which one of those is more inflammatory? I'm going with the killing somebody."

I wish people like Luke would just admit he wants to pursue Reform adjacent policies rather than pretend it's political strategy.

Again, "I only make CSAM for money" would not help an ordinary person's defence, but would aggravate their sentencing.

The British version of this is that, although not everyone on here has been on Only Connect, everyone who has been on Only Connect is here

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

it would probably also implode UK journalism this is also a positive

Walz: "I couldn't help but think, and it scares me a bit -- 'The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most important directive.' It certainly feels like that in this moment."

Pissing people off by hitting them with taxes/cutting their benefits and earning their emnity only to then forgo the badly needed funds really is becoming one of this government's distinguishing features www.theguardian.com/business/202...

spending my day interviewing trans people for a piece (hopefully coming out next week!) and what a stupid, stupid, mean, absurd state of affairs

For those wondering what Mamdani's quote, "For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty," was in reference to...

I don’t think it’s just the UK version where this happens, although it’s very obvious. It’s less an issue with the show/production and more a societal issue that the Traitors makes obvious. www.vogue.co.uk/article/the-...
