This is the stuff. Jazz Cafe, Camden Town

Did DOGE approve of these travel expenses?

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered hundreds of generals to travel on short notice from around the world to hear him make a short speech on military standards and the “warrior ethos.”

Of the many bad things that this does, it also taints the medals deservedly won by brave and honourable members of the military.

These guys are going “What else.. what else” with the most horrific shit throughout American history

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Congress and the Supreme Court made this possible in the name of "national security"--by passing the federal TikTok ban and upholding it against a First Amendment challenge. Hope everyone feels secure.

We are so humiliatingly deep into tinpot dictatorship territory. The government has just brokered the coerced sale of a major media platform to an ally of the president, who is openly boasting about converting it into (even more of) a partisan propaganda outlet.

"How many traitors are in Farage's new party?" would, I suggest be a better line than Digital ID. To beat Reform, make wavering voters ashamed to back them.

Lol

This is not a serious person, and that was not a serious bid for Tottenham Hotspur.

If there was plentiful food, Hamas would not be able to do this, you ghoul.

"We're not committing genocide, we're just very loudly and explicitly trying to engage in ethnic cleansing!"

whut

Can recommend Lumi in Camden Town. The reviews weren’t wrong. *My wife hasn’t signed over her image rights, so I had to crop her out.

There’s nothing like a traditional London phone booth.

September AI bubble pop theory still a possibility

Woot

Real post on another network:

Not being owned by oil money monkey paw curls and it’s an American named Brooklyn Earick

A hotel in London or Paris that allowed check-in at 10am would make a killing.

Landed in London. Heading to Mornington Crescent to see kids wearing spats.

the irony here is that Trump spends the entire clip talking about Chicago, which will not be hosting any World Cup games

I would normally be horrified about someone releasing a video to talk about being indicted but this is pretty disciplined.

OUR BATHROOM MIRRORS ARE VITAL TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY

I only met Dr. Darren Markland a few times, but he made an impact on me. This clip from coffee outside (with Darren giving away free coffee from his bike-mounted coffee-maker) offers a glimpse into how he viewed cycling and community as interwoven. I'm so sorry for his family and community.

Oh god, just reading this. Followed him for years. Yes, this is an incredible loss.

On the one hand, moose generally move very slowly, on the other hand, those antlers could really stop a lot of shots.

SPANISH FOREIGN MINISTER: SPAIN HAS ACCEPTED BELGIUM'S REQUEST TO ASSIST ITS CITIZENS IN GAZA FLOTILLA, IF NEEDED; CONVERSATIONS HELD WITH IRELAND

Only MAGA TV could turn an escalator mishap into a full-blown sabotage conspiracy

If Uefa bans, but Fifa doesn’t, Uefa countries could be in strange situation of being forced to still play qualifiers against Israel as the World Cup is a Fifa tournament, even though Uefa organises the games bsky.app/profile/migu...

absolutely shocked and disgusted to see France join the club of nations who throw former presidents in jail just because they "committed a bunch of crimes." I'm going to throw up www.wsj.com/world/europe...

So, closing 1% of total US/ Canada stores, but nearly 10% of union stores. Some mathematicians would consider this evidence of union busting.

I expected this.

These people have NO. CLUE. WHAT. THEY'RE. DOING.

The New York Times keeps making outrageous things seem ordinary. Is that normal?

Just to note that most banana republics move more adroitly. "American Exceptionalism" is taking on all sorts of new meanings.

I see another grand jury refusal on its way.

The great thing about podcasting is that anyone can do it. The worst thing about podcasting is that anyone can do it.

Can't help but like this kid.

Italy has moved me to tears for 3 days straight. Bravo ❤️

Bravo to @davidherle.bsky.social for his comments on Israel, Palestine, and Benjamin Netanyahu at the end of this Curse of Politics podcast. 👏 youtu.be/DPUw5riZTsM?...

It appears that there is an increasingly high chance Israel will be banned next week from UEFA due to its genocide in Gaza, which would in turn effectively end its hopes of qualifying for the World Cup. I have heard this independently confirmed from another source. www.thetimes.com/article/11e9...

PARIS CRIMINAL COURT HANDS FORMER FRENCH PRESIDENT SARKOZY SENTENCE OF 5 YEARS IN JAIL

87 or 97?

Trying to watch CNN's Newsnight because i am interested in the Comey case. Impossible to follow. Five people talking over each other. Totally unwatchable.

Oof, Jays Brutal
