CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Is the State Fair liminal...?

There have been some amazing film intros. But the best outro. It hasn't been topped yet: "Catch you at a bad time, Comrade?"

"...You're sixteen...You're beautiful...and you're mine..."

White House staff report that Trump's been talking to this for the last 20 minutes. He's "a stand-up guy", said the President

Is the State Fair liminal...?

Friz Freling and the rest of the 1940s & 50s Warner Brothers animators, formed my worldview. So, technically, they're to blame.

A Times investigation reveals Farage and his partner own *at least* five homes across Surrey, Kent and Essex, all but one bought with cash since 2000. In 2017 he said he was “skint”.

'Ooh I wonder what Camilla Tominey thinks of deportation', said no one ever #Newsnight

J. D. Vance has a million opinions. All of them are nasty. None of them are his. Without these he would simply evaporate. Never have I seen such a vapid person.

I was a bit ambivalent about seeing Supergirl at the cinema, but now every opinionated transphobic, homophobic, racist, misogynist, paedophile or paedophile-adjacent hillbilly skin flap has come out saying its 'crap', I've changed my mind. I'm all in.

NEW: Boris Johnson failed to declare to parliament a gift of private jet flights from the same cryptobillionaire, Christopher Harborne who gave £5m to Nigel Farage, leaked documents reveal. New #HarborneReceipts investigation from The Nerve

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

Was asked to talk about Brexit anniversary and the tossers who led us into a decade of chaos and misery. I may well have ranted and raved. Short.. but @bylinetimes.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/6Qyq...

#FarageCorruption It is being suggested that Nigel Farage should take a break from front-line politics. Perhaps he should take his break at His Majesty's pleasure.

Was the Madonna interview any good...?

"We've got Donald on line 2, who says his wanking hand is atrophying and his wife hates him..." "Hello Donald, I'm listening..."

Maybe Robbie Gibb's been put in his place at the BBC? But there's a great little 15-20 segment on the rolling news by Ros Atkins, breaking down and assessing the damage Brexit has done. Its not on BBC i-player just yet but it's superb. Facts, details, balanced & very clearly laid out. Recommended.

Good to see Kwasi 'Look, I'm really fed up with talking about the budget' Kwarteng getting a good digging on #TheWrap. This week, he also had the neck to author this column...

One of the lessons of the last two years is that Labour urgently needs to stop being afraid of its own shadow. Burnham should appoint whoever he thinks would be the best Chancellor and throw his authority behind them. The Daily Mail will try to kill them anyway. So just govern.

Good morning bluesky It's bright and sunny this morning, and I've got my work wrapped up, so it's a graceful glide into weekend ☀️ Starting with a variant of this earlier "walnut tree" prompt :) `A lone walnut tree in a Transylvanian clearing` #synthart #AIArtCommunity

If we were to go to green power 100%, Zia, we'd be leading the world in expertise and that would boost the economy no end. You twat #nbcqt

Looks like Zia's doing what he was told to do. Try to grab the Restore vote with more ever-increasing bilious rhetoric. Especially after a large number of Reform gurners want to ditch him...for the obvious reasons... #bbcqt

The proof, Zia, is that you are on the show every other damn week #bbcqt

"Rupert Lowe turns up with a book and the facts..." #bbcqt

You could buy 20,833 pairs of Starmer's glasses. And Starmer declared those #bbcqt #Newsnight

In my recent interviews I boasted about having claimed "zero personal expenses". Which is not surprising when you consider that there is no such thing as 'personal expenses' for MPs, so nobody has claimed any. But I have claimed over £150k in office expenses.

If Reform are 'ready for government', as they say; ask Fiona Bruce's co-host, Zia Yusuf, why 37 Reform councillors so far have either walked, sacked or disappeared #Newsnight #bbcqt #politicslive

Venezuela earthquake. Buildings have collapsed in San Bernardino Parish in Caracas, Venezuela following the 7.1 magnitude earthquake. 🙏

Tomorrow's front page 📰 Reform MSP Thomas Kerr accused of "laughing" about Edinburgh stabbings

This story is just insane. Utterly staggering. Where was the process...? (Well, we know where...)

It was Antifa, apparently. Riiiight.

"Andy...humility..." 🤣 #politicslive

Yes, Badenoch's response was spiteful. Her attacks on Philipson were personal, along with a relentless stream of unnecessary bile aimed at the PM. The ever odious Griffith supporting it, of course. Never misses a chance to go lower #PMQS #politicslive

Swayno speaks, the world tenses up. Truly mad stuff, as ever. Starmer turned that around and totally disarmed him. Beautiful. Shame pride is a factor, but I think taking on the Foreign Sec would be a perfect use of his abilities #PMQs

Well hoping the Tory leader would drop the attack dog routine was quickly dashed. Personal jibes, spite and lies from Badenoch. What a graceless, sour bit of gristle she is. Her party are dead. Good #PMQs

Brexiters giving out financial advice because the mess they created is coming at them hard now, is no longer funny, it's an insult #politicslive

Jimmy Kimmel goes hard. Brilliant.
