This is where we are in disability discourse where a 54-year-old Scottish guy with Tourette's has more agency and more awareness of venue staging than the BBC. It's his responsibility to be both the acoustic and audio engineer and the broadcast producer of the Royal Festival Hall.

For all the talk of these states not using American tax payer money correctly, perhaps this will help Trump and Vance figure out who is actually misusing whose money

Fucking hell

Christ that's fantastic isn't it?

There's probably a good fucking reason Joyce there is a *former* special ed teacher. "Yes, you can control your tics" is code for "it's all in your head and you're just choosing to do this". Jesus Christ.

The hell is Ted Cruz going to do?

Exactly four years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Bellingcat’s Volunteer Community looks back at the data we have collected on civilian harm during this time - documenting attacks on cities and the near-total destruction of rural villages. www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/02...

LMAO matplotlib of all things. Jesus.

There's something incredibly funny about the US getting super-excited over gold, considering if they continued performing at this level it would take them until 2042 to tie for 2nd most golds with the USSR, a country that hasn't existed since '91 and hasn't competed in the Winter Olympics since '88.

Yeah this is 100% an impressionist pranking C-SPAN. The cadence and meandering is bang on but still... anyway, hilarious regardless. Pity the Iranian people are probably going to pay the price for what's actually going through his head.

It's not on the one hand/on the other. The immediate upshot is the muzzling and chilling effects. The long term dividends is the inevitable martyrdom that comes when it's struck down.

I mentioned a while back little truisms I used to explain what seemed like otherwise baffling concepts to psych undergrads as a TA. "When it seems like there's a shocking amount of immoral or stupid people, remember that's how normal distributions work."

On a very generous other hand I can understand why someone might go this route if you've ever listened to a British person pronounce things like paella.

When he was proven wrong on his taxes and election fraud theories and then paid himself. Trick question tho

It's nice to know that VOA was defunded so that the money could be spent on letting German Neo Nazis watch the Christchurch shooting footage. Fucking unreal.

This is mostly correct -- Rey was cool when she was a nobody and it flipped the script on inherited destiny -- but it was a good chunk of the EU with prequel canon that made the galaxy suffocatingly small. The sequels arguably handled this better by virtue of the very retelling/recycling.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Begging Maxine Waters and Ann Coulter to set a bipartisan standard of finishing the job on Tracey.

And, like Ted Bundy, they have absolutely no idea why people revile them and no idea why people sympathize with their victims.

It's utterly repulsive that this is a public martyrdom instead of a private mourning -- and to be clear, I'm not putting that at the feet of Gregory or anybody else making mention of this; this is wholly on the repulsive, floundering, barbaric administration.

Look, there’s no reason for these things; just have an aide drop by Goodwill and pick up ten golf trophies a week. Give him one every time he has a tantrum

Why are his teeth phosphorescent?

Really just nothing to add to this. "Anybody who doesn't like wheat should try Italian" is maybe the next dumbest thing.

"Sent from my iPhone" is the "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER" for dick-dribbling racists who can't run their own memecoin rug pull.

"They shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."

Omg anybody can pee in a toilet! What's next? Gender free toilets that don't use AI to scan your genitals to know if you're legally allowed to unleash 17 fl. oz. of piss in JD Vance's Pissmerica?

As someone who has written extensively about moral panics regarding sex offenders (I once published an article about the criminal "war on sex offenders"), what is in the Epstein files and the reaction to it is absolutely not a moral panic. These are very real crimes and among the worst imaginable.

I mean old news. Like half a decade old www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

It's funny because this is where you can tell techbros rode in on competent engineers. The architecture of the radiator would be completely insane. The fact that the radiator is physically coupled to the solar would be a problem & the size of the radiator would mean there is no dark side.

People are suggesting this is some outrageous lie because of the whole, "folks are doing a RHPS interaction". But I can easily picture people yelling "slut" and "asshole" at the screen.

We've all had a laugh at how stupid these fucks are not knowing Helen of Troy was born from an egg her human mother laid in the 'historic' setting but I wish one of them would bitch that the Odyssey is an orally preserved poem and a movie is totally inappropriate.

Unbelievable that Epstein's living room actually looks more tasteful and reserved than the oval office.

It's the disease of the intellectually bankrupt, to not understand that a cause can also be an effect. Yes, fascists and fascist-aspirants take poorly to resistance. That is causal. The more important causal relationship is what caused the resistance. To wit: the fascists and fascist-aspirants.

Shorts fired

Holy fuck that Twitter username and handle is the equivalent of those North Korean generals. Commander Op At Large. Only thing that'll ever make him large in any way. Fucking loser.

the pitch for Trump was "this insult comic rapist is a piece of shit but at least we're getting rid of the smirking pieties and pretexts" and JD Vance is like "did someone say smirking pieties and pretexts"

Trump is such a transparent asshole but there’s something so evil about how JD Vance hides incredibly callous politics behind that nauseating “well now good sir” faux civility.

1. What the fuck; but 2. Good job giving every judge but the most unhinged every excuse in the world to back a lawsuit from the state whether it's against ICE or trying to federalize the guard.

It is always this. I've long had no shyness about being raised by a vile human being, and I will say this about their psychology: The biggest threat to them is when others embody the values they pretend to hold to hide who they are.

It's a curse having DNA from Roman times? What a fucking loser. I'd love to see this conquistador ride into Minneapolis and get his ass kicked by a blue-haired they/them-using protester who can tolerate freezing weather. Fucking tool.

Doing their duty defending the people of the state. Hopefully this stays the exact fucking opposite of Ohio 1970.

Then they aren't rights. And that's not what he was doing. They always try to sideload their shit like this with double pronged arguments

Let's give the scum Donbas as a reward. That'll show 'em.

ICE used a warrantless forced entry to arrest a US citizen with no criminal record. Rather than acknowledge error, they smeared the family, saying they were harboring sex offenders and critics were defending sex offenders. Turns out that one of their targets was already in jail. ICE never checked.

It looks like Zelenskyy is yukking it up at Madame Tussauds.

I honestly wonder how much of this is deeply psychological for Vance, the inability to reconcile that people can love their neighbors so much when his own mother abandoned him.

It's free never to say things like this. It costs you absolutely nothing not to pump the fucking Austro-Hungarian Empire. I mean the fucking Austro-Hungarian Empire? That's not even campism. There's no camp. That's putting up a tarp with a stick in your backyard and eating frozen hotdogs.

"I uninvited you from my party because you didn't show up" is a power move in the same way soiling yourself for the clear benefit of others is.

UK - 457 Canada - 159 France - 90 Germany - 62 Italy - 53 Poland - 44 Denmark - 42 Trumps that have served - 0

MLK Jr., famously unmotivated by religion and uncritical of racist white Christians.
