How have Labour watched the Tories spend 2-3 years parroting Farage then lose an election badly and conclude a similar strategy is the best course of action? I. Really. Genuinely. Do Not. Get. It.

LOL! True story. #NHS #Dentistry

Uh this is enormous

Wolf Story ch1 PRINT! Your favourite horny hostile romance comic coming to you in the post…issue by issue. What a dream🐺🪓💜 clairenapier.bigcartel.com/product/wolf...

This argument that we need to adopt fascism-lite to prevent electing fascists is a big ahistorical lie, and it has a lot of currency in Canada too. This will not solve any problems fascists blame on refugees, while it concedes the idea that they're correct to blame them. This is how you get ICE.

Just as he was advising Epstein, Bannon was advising Johnson on how to topple May “Today we are going to see if Boris Johnson tries to overthrow the British government. He’s going to give a speech in the Commons.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019...

By surrendering so utterly and completely at a moment of their maximum leverage and momentum, Senate Democrats taught Trump and his cadre an important lesson: Do enough damage and your opponents will buckle. Because of this surrender, our democracy is more imperiled now than it was before.

Why should you buy Wolf Story? Well: It’s a romcom comic (it’s funny); The way these freaks (protagonists) treat each other is consequential; You see cum👍 Good entertainment for adults🐺🪓💜

Without asylum: Marks and Spencer wouldn't exist Queen would have been without a front man The other queen wouldn't have had a husband Judith Kerr would never have written The Tiger Who Came to Tea And thousands of less famous people wouldn't have been teachers, politicians, neighbours, etc

Temerko, a Soviet-born oligarch and a major Conservative donor, told Belton that he and Johnson spent time… plotting the overthrow May. According to Temerko, Johnson had finally been persuaded to back Brexit in 2016 by a group of “eastern European businessmen”. bylinetimes.com/2023/01/19/l...

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force. (Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!) Great obit—no paywall.

The phrase “the dog that didn’t bark” comes from Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes story Silver Blaze (1892). Holmes notes a dog’s silence during a theft as the key clue—it didn’t bark because the intruder was familiar.

Although many people are saying it, I do not believe our current president sucked off former president Bill Clinton on camera. I have not seen sufficient evidence that our current president gave the former president a blowie in a way that was memorialized in a photo. That's not something I believe.

Looking forward to the Trump vs BBC case.

Someone once said the scam texts/emails used to be like "Free money" & now they're like "Here's a job for you," & that really says something.

As the pro AI lobby continues to peddle their shit, their latest claim is that AI will create “better”Ads, a notion that falls foul of even the lightest questioning as to whom such ads would be “better” for.

Looks like @jcsalterego.bsky.social is now at risk of being suspended here for his "killer" skeets

Does topless equality still matter in 2025? Chrissy Stroop writes about the #FreeTheNipple movement and argues that it's still relevant at the face of patriarchal backlash.

It is weird how some people mistake style for quality in animation in a way that they don’t seem to do with other art.

I am shooting my shot. I love writing op-eds. @teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you. Signed, A Black woman who writes for the public

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Trump raped countless children and the NYT had all the receipts and photographs but the REAL problem for our country according the Times was the trans 7th grade girl on the volleyball team in Wisconsin.

In September, 404 Media filed a lawsuit against ICE for access to its contract with Paragon, a company that sells powerful spyware for breaking into phones and accessing encrypted messaging apps. Learn more here:

Great piece by Zadie Smith. When the right talks about classics or "Western" culture, these works are only important to the extent that it demonstrates their superiority, they have no interest in art in and of itself beyond that www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Left: Lisa Nandy, "At a time when the lines are being dangerously blurred between fact and opinion, the BBC stands apart" Right: That time Lisa Nandy lied repeatedly in parliament about police advice on Maccabi, conflating public safety with antisemitism

An analysis of BBC news coverage over the last 4 years shows a shameless bias against Vladimir Putin, with BBC reporters insisting on calling the Special Military Operation in Ukraine “an invasion”

@samiraahmeduk.bsky.social would make a great DG of the BBC.

James Bond is the linear superposition of fictional characters.

Yo, @support.bsky.team, bring back @sarahkendzior.bsky.social.

Surprising and disturbing! WTF @jay.bsky.team ?? You can subscribe by email for free here sarahkendzior.substack.com

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Now is the time to fight, not surrender. 🗣️ Schumer must step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people.

It is easy for Senate Democrats to disabuse us of that assumption — they just have to publicly make the popular call for new leadership.

If you’ve got a Senate Democrat who is not calling for new leadership, they’re part of the problem. We should no longer trust Senate Dems who decline to come out against the leadership that led us here. Until proven otherwise, we should assume they were in on the game to fool their own supporters.

1/ Michael Prescott of Hanover Communications, whose leaked memo alleging left-wing bias led to the BBC meltdown. You could be forgiven for thinking that a corporate lobbyist & former Murdoch press hack may not have the best interests of public-service broadcasting at heart.

no money for politicians

a script from @indivisible.org! (I'm probably going to add how harmful this will be in Ossoff's reelection campaign, bc we'll be blaming the entire party when people's healthcare premiums are so high they can't afford insurance)

#stephenking #readmore #amediting #indiepublisher I can always tell when I'm editing a manuscript if the author is a reader or not. In no instance, has the non-reader produced a superior work. Ironically, I can't really put it into words how I know or what the difference is. I just do know.

It's... funny? Because... it's true

Not a dime to Democrats until Schumer is out.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really
