There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good. This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it. A thread on how to do that 🧵

Introduce yourself with what almost killed you! Hi, I’m a mare who doesn’t plan to go over that jump but does want to see her unsuspecting rider go over it alone, head first.

Today’s lesson in Australian culture: you can apparently line dance to Pitbull? 🤷🏻‍♀️

To echo: do not cite anything you have not at least skimmed and can verify it really exists and says what you say it says (or is about what you say it is about). Even if you collect citations from others' work (a legit practice), CHECK THEM.

There is no link between the Bondi massacre and “globalise the intifada”. That’s entirely the product of NYT op-eds and Twitter fascists.

Show your age: you think it was called a “mixed tape” 😂🤣💀

Two people tried to extinguish the light of Chanukah through murderous violence. But was is one man, Ahmed al-Ahmed, whose flashlight shone through the darkness they wrought, a reminder of Chanukah’s message that in the longest of nights, a tiny flame can dispel much darkness.

In case anyone at the DOJ reads my feed, I want to offer a little patriotic help to you in your search for the headquarters of Antifa. It's in Arlington National Cemetery.

@npr it’s not a principle. It is a constitutional guarantee.

ACLU has a guide about this. You can (and should!) remain silent. www.aclutx.org/en/know-your... This only "works" for them if everyone answers yes and is allowed to proceed. Simply say "am I being detained?" or "am I free to go?"

You’re supposed to be the *Labour* Party. The clue is in the name, ffs.

Ok, but also Bradley had to know it was an unlawful order, so I’m not going to waste sympathy here

“This is an ex-parrot!”

You just died. The 6th picture in your phone gallery is what killed you.

⚡️ In a new Drop Site investigation, Ryan Grim and Murtaza Hussain reveal that Jeffrey Epstein quietly helped Alan Dershowitz orchestrate the smear campaign against John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt’s 2006 paper “The Israel Lobby,” newly obtained emails show.

#MutualAid If anyone's able to help me and my partner Ms J out, that would be SO much appreciated. With teaching over for the year, I don't have an income from employment.

I left the biggest voluntary donation ever at Bristol Cathedral a) because it was voluntary and b) they had the most gorgeous welcome message by the door. I loved my visit there and their whole approach to their slavery connections was just perfect

Even the other racists must be looking at this guy’s post and saying “man, that’s dumb”

Plus, she’s inadvertently showing that her gender categories are social, not genetic or whatever. She thought those kids were boys because they were ‘acting like boys’. And yet she probably won’t reflect on this and learn anything…

Not often you encounter a perfect stereotype in real life, but there’s a guy on this flight sitting in first class in fancy hunting gear, complaining that it’s not fair he couldn’t get an elk tag because he’s not a Montana resident - *chef’s kiss*

Also, shout out to every woman at work today who has to put up with a sniggering male colleague “joking” about this headline

No. But also, this discussion is a hot mess of fact-free right wing fantasy and poor reasoning

No, listen, I lived through white conservatives making up definitions of taqqiya the first time, we’re not doing this again

I'm sorry to hear Dick Cheney has died, because I was still hoping he'd go to prison first

I will subscribe to the substack or whatever of any journalist who publicly asks him “Governor, what do you think a tariff is?”

it is not easy to offend me on religious grounds, but this has bloody well done it

“cascading effect” Well yeah I think that’s the goal, right?

Never going to stop being grimly funny to me that Trump thinks his cognitive function tests are IQ tests and he's acing them

WOW: "Covid-19 vaccines... set off a powerful alarm that rallies the human immune system against cancer and nearly doubles the median survival length of patients, according to a new retrospective study by researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center & the University of Florida."

Sure, but this is not an inconsistency, it's just how racism works

Some of those who work forces are the same that fail courses.

A while back I thought Platner sounded like a good candidate. And then I learned that he got and kept a Nazi tattoo, said objectionable things about sexual assault in the military, and worked for Blackwater. Now I think he’s a bad candidate. Because I can process new information. This is not hard.

Bertrand Russell to Oswald Mosley. Perfection.

"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA" * article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

Cornell is cancelling a distinguished professor's classes on Gaza and suspending him because of the complaints of a student who previously served in Israel's military surveillance agency and was literally recording the comments of other students in class and deliberately derailing discussion.

I do think we sometimes forget: 1. We need high-skilled migrants to keep the NHS working, and to grow the economy 2. High-skilled migrants have a *lot* of choices over where to go And 3. We’ve been getting less attractive as a destination for years anyway (wages here famously suck)

Our beloved hound Gus died during surgery yesterday. He was the sweetest and best and we are heartbroken.

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Go practice being mean to the fascist... make it apart of your spiritual discipline . Before you put fork to mouth ask Jesus or whoever you got to help you be mean to bad people.
