Reselling tickets for profit to be outlawed in UK government crackdown

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

@variety going with a story on “Hegseth’s rival” as the Trump admin sinks itself deeper and deeper into Epstein. I guess the media protects its own or whatever…

If you want to know why Brian Daboll is merely a symptom of the issues that have rendered the Giants irrelevant for 15 seasons: Joe Schoen let Julian Love, Xavier McKinney, and Saquon Barkley walk out of the building. And, Joe Schoen will lead the search for the Giants’ 5th head coach in 8 years.

Starving people is a weapon of control. So, too, is controlling and attacking the media, attacking science and higher ed, and using the military against citizens and innocent people. All weapons of control.

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

The ESPY for biggest dumbass sports team goes to…

Please go away, it’s time for true modern day Democrats to run the party.

Imagine the Fox coverage if Obama was this evil.

@markipoos2024.bsky.social Hey Mark, would you mind following back. I have a NUFC research question. Thanks.

Mamdani not even mayor and he’s shipping the trash out.

If Trump’s fascism is so bad, why aren’t the students protesting? We asked three right-wing oligarchs who bullied their alma maters into enforcing total bans on freedom of assembly on campus.

I wrote a lot about this in my first book — the rallying cry of “freedom of association” It came through in the fight for segregated schools too. Here’s a chapter I wrote for an edited collection

What game is Tony Romo watching?

If you hear this and think, "wait, hang on, I need to know what political party these people were in before I know how to respond," please go fuck yourself.

They largely want the studios & sports and don’t care about the news org. In fact, they would love it gone. Why? Because rich men, especially tech men, think they deserve no criticism and also need constant fluffing. They value a mirrortocracy over a meritocracy and welcome a mediocrity.

Giants have drafted six WR/ TE in the first two rounds since 2014, five of the six drafted have suffered season ending injuries at MetLife Stadium. Insane. Per @mikeryanruiz.bsky.social

The Right’s idea of free speech is the freedom to call marginalised people slurs without facing public consequences. The Left’s idea of free speech is challenging power and systemic abuse without being arrested. I hope that clears things up for the intellectually disingenuous.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before but global players’ union study finds that top football stars are playing too many games, with too much travel & not enough time off. www.nytimes.com/athletic/667...

The Mets are terrible for my health.

Every time I see Mike Pereira patched into a FOX game on mute I think it’s their news arm breaking into coverage to announce women have lost the right to vote or something

UK 2024 Broadsheet Columnist of the Year everyone. Any left-bashing, transphobic, genocide-excusing old bollocks will do for The Times opinion pages these days, but this is really something.

@nufctrust.bsky.social Hey, would you mind following back, would like to follow-up on an email I sent to Thomas last week. Thanks.

John Oliver's "Free Speech" segment last night is front and center on The Hollywood Reporter, but Variety cowers, bootlicks the Trump Administration, and hides the story.

Imagine the Fox News response if the Biden Administration had taken control of TikTok’s US algo?

More need to watch and read what Kimmel actually said, nothing was pointed at Kirk. It was directed at the rightwing grifters. news.sky.com/story/what-d...

Literally you cannot make up this level of hypocrisy. What an endless chode.

KEY to the story about ABC suspending Kimmel's show: Nexstar and Sinclair, two big owners of ABC-affiliated stations, both need FCC approval for pending deals. With a lot of $$ on the line, both have reason to curry favor with the Trump admin. Both decided to yank Kimmel's show.

In the week since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Russia, Iran and China have spread thousands of false or incendiary claims about what happened to the conservative activist, in an effort to stoke political divisions or to portray the U.S. as a dysfunctional country.

The Free Speech President has now pulled two of the three major late night hosts off the air through threats and intimidation because of their jokes. Obviously I’m behind Jimmy Kimmel 100% in the face of this fascist garbage. Speech against this admin isn’t just being chilled, they’re freezing it.

In the end, they are the snowflakes, and against free speech.

Charlie Kirk couldn’t have risen to prominence without robust free speech. Now MAGA leaders are seeking to use his death to silence debate, @dgraham.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily:

The fact that Major League Baseball players are wearing patches to honor Roberto Clemente, but not Charlie Kirk, shows how racist pro sports has become. by J.D. Vance

Somehow, we've been led to believe that TikTok's US operations will be in better hands of a Trump-supporting entity (Paramount Skydance via daddy Ellison).

The worst of the worst he is, a soulless white man void of empathy and self respect.

This explains it better than I can

The “school shooting industry” is one of the most depressing term I’ve ever heard.

Aw Christ now I gotta take down all the Bill Clinton flags on my boat 😔
