O THATS ALRIGHT THEN

As Sonny Rollins said, ‘what other people think of you is none of your business’

The Times is the worst newspaper in Britain.

Bring back embarrassment

Finished Stranger Things. That last run could’ve done with a hard edit.

Another missed opportunity for an absolutely incredible follow up question.

Some important new government policy that Native Americans might be interested in:

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... this is good, if you like this sort of thing

excellent nyt piece on tom verlaine's archives. he was such a great guy i miss him still. no firewall www.nytimes.com/2026/01/09/a...

A headline for the ages www.politico.eu/article/fran...

*leans on gate sucking on a piece of straw* I hear they've started charging entry down at the old nazi pedo farm

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

One reason I feel like I'm going mad is, even if Musk did immediately halt Grok and issue a grovelling apology - rather than PAYWALLING IT - he should *still* be prosecuted and his website banned. Very obviously! You don't get out of CSAM charges by just stopping. AND HE STILL HASN'T STOPPED.

Or to be more accurate, Elon Musk designates his CSAM generator a Premium Subscription feature.

The thought of all the UK X holdouts coming over to Bluesky now

This BBC drivel was parodied 44 years ago by Alexander Cockburn: harpers.org/archive/1982... It is - literally - beyond parody.

Yes, killing peaceful protesters is a sign of tyranny. www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/t...

They’ll probably still win this with their £1bn team of entitled arseholes but Chelsea reallycan fuck off altogether #thefootball

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

Why isn’t it a matter for Plod?

Badenoch is absolutely all over the place here #pmqs

Well I for one am certainly going to vote for someone who doesn’t know anything about my city but hates it anyway to become mayor of my city

Elton "spending too much time in the" John

www.reddit.com/r/soccer/com... Harrison Reed gets the GOOOOOOOOOOOOL treatment

The thing I don't get is that the politics of banning X or Grok should be quite favourable. If there is one thing lots of the public really hate, it is noncery, so saying "we are banning the Nonce Porn machine" and then attacking e.g. Farage as pro-nonce when he criticises it should land quite well.

I'm calling it now, Nicolas Maduro will win America's heart in the courtroom with his smooth baritone and unconventional beatboxing

ukgov: if you want to know about certain government or council services you need to use X also ukgov: if you randomly end up with something bad in your timeline while looking for a government or council service, it's a strict liability offence and you're off to jail you big nonce

FOR FUCKS SAKE

UK government refuses to say if US would be wrong to invade Greenland

Wasn’t this teabag lad Ian McCulloch’s son in law for a while? #maskedsinger

That. Was a goal.

The Two Ronnies (4th January 1986). Ronnie C in the chair.

Looking forward to seeing how he’ll equivocate when Trump moves on Greenland

There it is. Sir Kenny Steamer KC takes all day to produce a formulation that lets Trump off while, hours earlier, Marine Le Pen just nails it. Marine Le Pen, mind you.

Machado must not have agreed to the American looting of Venezuelan oil

#thedarts now the last place where Ali G fancy dress is acceptable cultural currency

B5K Jr, an Arsenal fan, advised me that Rice was definitely not fit - ‘on the bench at best’ - so I left him out of my fantasy team. It has just come to my attention that B5K Jr put him in his own team ‘just in case’.
