OK, hands up everyone who read this post and thought, ‘Damn, why didn’t MY parents name me Licoricia?’

For those of you struggling with your faith, please see this handy guide.

A shocking and heartbreaking thread. This WW2 story is one I did not know, so glad it is shared now.. Shame on the US government for desecrating this memorial.

Most people have pointed out that Trump was golfing in Palm Beach at the exact moment Mullin posted this, but I will also note that the “work” Trump is doing here is autographing Truth Social posts that have been blown up and printed out.

A great listen this morning. Always informative and fun. Welcome back, Naomi! Hope you had a good dog walk after. Crosby says hello.. (walking in Nephin Beg mountains, county Mayo, Ireland)

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

This is what is happening. It is cynical. It is strategic. It is organised. It is well funded. And we need to pay attention. The far right - and their cheerleaders, mimics, tribute acts, and handmaidens have identified two presentational frameworks that give them cut-through and traction. 1/7

I cannot recommend this pod highly enough. It’s a Hedy mix of culture, music, philosophy, social science and fun if you want something to alleviate your misery at the state of politics, this is it.

I want "Yes, Aunties." on a t-shirt ASAP

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Start at 13:11. Treat yourself to this, it’s worth it.

As the Huntingdon train hero is named as Samir Zitouni, our thoughts and prayers are with all right wing racist fuckwits at this difficult time.

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.

SQUEEEEE

Just what he needed

OK. So, I kinda like Monarchy, its our history and traditions. And history shows us the Royals are a mix of good, bad, and awful people. But right now, we also live in current/modern society, and no-one should be above the law. Why isn't Andrew being prosecuted? He should be. Put him in jail.

Farage: epic grifter

Sometimes a translator's name will make you pause and blink at the title page.

A neat tool I just came across: Viabundus, a digital road map of northern Europe 1350-1650, that lets you calculate contemporary travel routes/times. In 1500, going Amiens → Köln by horse took almost 7 days and 13 toll payments. #medievalsky www.landesgeschichte.uni-goettingen.de/handelsstras...

What a photo.

Ukraine’s Octopus interceptor drone, developed jointly with British scientists, will be mass-produced in the UK, Zelenskyy has announced. They’re going to turn out thousands every month.

The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote at the house and after they cast their ballot, they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: rte.ie/b/1540324

Well done, Caerphilly! In the end, @lsrplaid.bsky.social was closer to the mark on high turnout than @willhaycardiff.bsky.social. It foiled RefUK bc the tactical consolidation behind Plaid was so decisive. This is a blueprint of what progressive must do everywhere. Read the form. Back one horse.

“The thing with @zackpolanski.bsky.social is that, even though I really notice his background as a storyteller, the result is more than storytelling. He can make you believe that things are possible. And in the current environment, that is massive.”

Suggest you jump in on this poll. —> xd.wayin.com/display/cont...? And share…

LICE 😂 Seattle, Washington No Kings

California Dreamin’ of No Kings in San Diego.

Dallas didn’t disappoint. #NoKings

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

I see Nigel Farage is back to claiming he "predicted" the war between Russia and Ukraine in the EU Parliament, when in fact he spoke AFTER the annexation of Crimea, to defend Russia and claim it was all the EU's fault. I did a full fact-check, with clips, here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/f...

ZERO arrests at No Kings in NYC. (And the NYPD isn’t notorious for being sympathetic with people anti-Trump.) This proves what shameless liars Speaker Mike Johnson & Karoline Leavitt are to slander the participants as violent anarchists.

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

Boston. Wow.

#A_NewHope ✊

Turnout in Salem, OR seems much larger than the last No Kings protest.
