Yesterday, the president mangled the word acetaminophen while ranting about an imaginary link to autism — a performance so absurd it could’ve been mistaken for satire if it weren’t real. Today, at the UNGA, we witness brain rot in real time, broadcast for the entire world. Humiliating.

This speech is such an extraordinary combination of lies, delusions, narcissism, hatefulness, ignorance and lunacy that it could have been given by no other person than the president of the United States. It could well be the low point of US public diplomacy in our history.

Anybody in the Stevenage area have available an accessible room or studio flat to rent? My daughter is starting a PhD next week and the flat that we hoped she be in by now looks like it is going to fall through. Thanks

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

The @thetimes.com & @rcolvile.bsky.social have *finally* amended the CPS's entirely fictional £234 billion figure. archive.ph/vtfZe

Not sea glass but fragments of plastic car tail lights, indicators and brake lights, probably washed into storm drains after heavy rain, eventually making their way to the sea. #oceanplastic

BIDEN WAS SENILE

I love how Chris Mason's picture on his Wikipedia page looks like he's watching an illegal cockfight in a barn in Essex. Horrified, but slightly aroused and unable to stop looking.

The fucknut couldn’t even remember what the ’R’ stood for.

BBC push alert tomorrow: ‘The Rapture is here. Why this could be good news for Reform UK’

Is he describing one of the videos Epstein gave him?

Pregnant women want to protect their babies. But the trump regime falsely claims Tylenol causes harm—without science to back it. There’s no link to autism! Such fear may push women to riskier meds. Always talk to your OB-GYN about safe options during pregnancy.

Britpop wasn’t all champagne and chart battles. Sometimes, backstage Blur entertained themselves with games that got a little… punchy. Blur drummer Dave Rowntree spills the beans this week on Talk 90s to me. Full episode here ➡️ linktr.ee/talk90stome #blur #britpop #90s

Christian persecution in America is best defined by this image: No actual struggle, wearing clothes that cost more than my entire wardrobe, polished cross instead of rugged, and surrounded by crowds of fellow hypocrites cheering on bigotry who believe they're the victims.

26,000 YouTube views for Sinclair’s Charlie Kirk tribute special. Just for comparison, Jimmy Kimmel’s monologue on any average Wednesday will get between two and four MILLION YouTube views. Right wing culture is fringe stuff. It is not American culture by any stretch.

🧵 The tech world sided with Trump because "By daring to challenge the tech industry, Biden threatened the moguls’ business plans. Even worse, he hurt their feelings. “It’s impossible to exaggerate how offended they were,” says Nick Clegg...Meta’s president of global affairs until early this year"

Before Britpop & Cool Britannia, Blur were just 4 lads from Colchester finding their feet. On Talk 90s To Me, @msmirandasawyer.bsky.social chats with @daverowntree.bsky.social about those chaotic times and his brand new book of pics from the band’s early days! Listen linktr.ee/talk90stome

No surprise that after the multiple rape and pedophile accusations that Russell Brand has been reduced to shirtless interviews with nazis

So I'm a chronic text-based journalism poster who used to live their life on Twitter and had somehow got a large number of followers next to my name. Helpful for work, lots of stories, I could make news go viral. Anyway as I test I slightly re-engaged with various platforms this week. Vibes results:

1) Bsky. Low eyeballs but lots of engagement. Can drive proper big traffic to links. 2) Twitter. Barely can get an audience or click for what I do (non-mental journalism). But you can see in the echoes there's VAST numbers of politicos/journos across the spectrum who are still lurking if not posting

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 Starmer announced the UK’s recognition of Palestine as a state at the weekend – what will this mean for foreign relations and the ongoing crisis in Gaza? @alexvont.bsky.social and @jacobjarvis.bsky.social discuss the news to look out for in the week ahead ➡️ linktr.ee/bunker_pod

Reform said the abolition of ILR would save £234bn because of benefits claims. The figures come from a Centre for Policy Studies report that has been withdrawn because of a dispute over the numbers. The thinktank has said its costs “should not be used”. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

3D depiction of rainfall distribution across Great Britain. England is a very dry place: London gets as much rain as Jerusalem. With climate change, the south will need to prepare for even more acute water shortages.

What an interesting "case study" Sam Coates provides. Apparently, protecting children is boring, especially since most people agree with it. Xenophobia, on the other hand, is eye-catching and creates division. What a depressing state our media is in. ~AA

Trump Spends Entire U.K. Trip Trying To Figure Out Where He Knows Prince Andrew From

unusually big armhole

Look I'm trying not to care about the US too much, but when this event happens you will be over

Tom Homan, now the president’s border czar, was recorded last year accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash by undercover FBI agents in an investigation the Trump Justice Department later closed, The New York Times reported.

I saw this sign yesterday. Bit boring if you ask me. Where's the fun going to come from?!

If only he would get the Empire and the Rebellion to sit down together…

RFK Jr's "personal life" section of Wikipedia is the craziest evil shit i've ever read holy shit lol

PM Keir Starmer's commentary on patriotism vs racism and populism can be read here www.thesun.co.uk/news/3678572...

You all know the origin story of La Freak which saw Nile Rogers and Bernard Edwards turned away from the notoriously selective guest list queue at Studio 54 on NYE 1977, resulting in a jam session back at Nile’s where they sang “aaaaah, FUCK OFF!” right?

Welcome to Oxford Street as you’ve never seen it before. Londoners and visitors, we are ready for you. This Oxford Street is for everyone.

What movie do you consider ‘perfect’?

“FBI agents reassigned to round up immigrants have had to walk away from investigations into violent predators who target and exploit children online, MSNBC has learned.” www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Earlier this week FBI’s Kash Patel admitted he didn’t even read the Epstein victims’ statements before deciding they weren’t credible. Another stunning example of how victims are completely ignored.

Alex Acosta admitted that he didn't read the Epstein victims statements but believed they weren't strong enough. Prosecutor Villafana recommended 35 charges in a 50 page memo. She worked tirelessly to get these girls to open up. Yet Acosta was willing to meet off-site w/Epstein's lawyer Ken Starr.

GOODFELLAS was released 35 years ago today. Acclaimed as one of the great Hollywood gangster movies and among the most popular films of director Martin Scorsese, the story of how it was made will have you carrying Henry Hill’s mother’s groceries all the way home… 1/56

BBC headline signed Chris Mason at Farage conference: “Reform conference shows party's growing ambition like never before.” Laura Kuenssberg, BBC headline for LibDem conference: “Ed Davey loves clowning around, but is it time the Lib Dems got serious?” Fuck you, BBC.

YER HOOVERS ARE SHITE

A little bit of navel-gazing on the last twelve months of trying to run a start-up local news organisation with no investment or plan, entirely funded by readers. www.londoncentric.media/p/london-new...

Four of the are an absolute disgrace, Britain.

Happy Batman Day!

Amazing that anyone feels the need to say this, but this is where we are now.

Last night, russia launched 40 missiles and 580 drones at Ukraine, killing 3 people. Dnipro, Mykolaiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Poltava, Kyiv, Odesa, Sumy, and Kharkiv oblasts were under attack. Civilian infrastructure and residential areas were damaged. u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-ni...
