OMG hysterical

Fabulous

Absolutely loved listening to the audible version of this. My very own copy would be awesome! 🙏

Hi Nigel Farage, now you’ve decided to do media again, tell us about the £5m.

Full statement of Scott Pelley after he's fired from CBS 60 Minutes, detailing the sort of corruption of journalism Bari Weiss has brought to CBS News:

Any rational person can see Farage needs to be referred to the police for incitement. When will this man be held accountable?

"Tank-fly, boss-walk jam nitty-gritty, you’re listening to the boy from the big bad city."

Clever old Farage. Pivoting to corrupt grifterism to distract from his appalling racism, then pivoting to appalling racism to distract from his corrupt grifterism.

The killer awoke before dawn He put his boots on He took a face from the ancient gallery And he walked on down the hall

We took on a little dog as a foster four days ago. He has transformed from a terrified little thing, hiding in a corner to a happy, tail waggy and playful pup. We just need him to stop being scared of my husband.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

Absolutely tragic and horrifying story. So sad that this could happen in this day and age

I’m online for most of the day, and yet I still read some social media comments and think: this person has had a USB port fitted to the back of their skull and is having the internet pumped directly into their brain like diesel into a Ford Transit.

I’m very fortunate never to have had to go to hospital for anything substantive for 52 years. But two aged (one now very ill) parents, and now lying on an emergency trolley hooked up to drips, makes you think. And I HAVE VIEWS. (1/several)

Look I know there is a World Cup coming, and apparently there is something going on with a thing called Premier League that I don‘t understand, but does every political columnist have to write about football now? Is anything else happening? May we hear about other subjects?

Sooooo let me get this straight. The motherf🌸🌸ker rolls up into Seattle, sportin’ his $300M yacht, just as META lets 1400 employees go from WA state, META. GTFO. I honestly don’t think the optics could get anymore Dickensian. #Pinks #ProudBlue

OK, so Helen Whately and the Express are doubling down and going all out hysterical at this point...🙄 They've actually "calculated" the state benefits a man with ELEVEN WIVES could claim!! And this time, they've done it behind a paywalled article🤷‍♀️ But don't worry, I got behind it!🤓 🧵1/20

What matters more: 1. An old man, out of politics for 20 years, has opinions? 2. The party leading the polls and potentially set to form the next government is promising to deport hundreds of thousands of people settled in the UK entirely legally? That our broadcast media has chosen 1 is sickening.

Tony Blair tells Radio 4 that the £257 million his institute has received from a billionaire AI investor has absolutely nothing to with his lobbying for the AI industry

Breaking: Bigot makes mistake - assaults pensioner. Media shocked.

A perfect summary of the world we live in by a brave and brilliant woman

Suzanne Vega releases “Luka” 39 years ago this weekend. She said she once received a fan letter about it: “Dear Suzanne, Luka is the most compelling piece of music I’ve heard in a long time. There are no words 2 tell U all the things I feel when I hear it. I thank God 4 U, Prince”

I don’t know if you saw this article by @ravmike.bsky.social which ran in today’s San Diego Union Tribune. It is excellent, and much needed! This is a gift link. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2026/05/24/o...

I bought a wine glass online to try to cover up from my wife that I’d broken one when she was away. I only told a handful of friends. So I’ve no idea how she found out. According to ReformUK, I now have conclusive evidence I’ve been hacked by the Russian state

Nothing at all fishy going on here over the weekend, I assume

NEW: A positive TV story..! ‘Men and boys need to see this’ How Jo and Kush have countered toxic masculinity - and Race Across the World has quenched a thirst for uplifting TV. PS: Casting and producers work hard on this one... www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

As a teacher of English, I can definitively state that yes, this is exactly what happened. Particularly, the curse words. ◡̈

I took this bucketlist-worthy photo exactly 9 years ago. It is a critically endangered Saimaa Ringed Seal. There were only 320 individuals back then. Today there are 530+!! That's a 66% increase in less than a decade! Conservation works!! 🦭🇫🇮🌎

For the first time, the parents of five of the girls who were stabbed in the Southport attack have shared their stories. Humbled and privileged to meet them. Here is their story - a difficult read but with hope at the end. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/ng-i...

Wonderful & well worth your time www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

OK IS THIS IMAGE EASIER FOR PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY SHOULD READ THE THING BEFORE TRYING TO ARGUE WITH ME ABOUT CARTOONS

open.substack.com/pub/macdonnc... Someone commenting on my resent article about the GP’s AI receptionist sent me this excellent article about his experience of primary care in Barcelona. Plenty of lessons to be learned - but main one is nobody is ever satisfied with their local healthcare

If you play music in public without headphones, you are a cunt. It really is that simple.

Met Police will ask the CPS to consider charging up to 57 people & 20 companies over the Grenfell Tower fire Alleged offences include corporate & gross negligence manslaughter, misconduct in public office & fraud 72 people were killed in the disaster

So Lee Anderson, who said Islamists have "got control" of Sadiq Khan, wants to close every food bank in the country, and is committed to bringing back the death penalty, has now been made Chairman of Reform UK

OK, so it feels like we need a little context and a sanity check around this story! The Sun, The Mirror and the Daily Mail all jumped on this, and of course, Twitter managed to turn it into a BBC-bashing story 🙄 (Yes, it's a 22-tweet thread about Eurovision!😆😜) 🧵 1/22

FT Exclusive: Nigel Farage’s claim that he paid for a £1.4mn house with his fee from a reality TV show has been challenged by corporate accounts that appear to show that the income remained on his company’s balance sheet after the property purchase. ft.trib.al/dtJOxC3

In the original version of the play that later became the book Peter Pan, there's no Captain Hook. He was invented later. A lot of us who watched the Disney movie or saw a theatre production forget how the book ends. Most adaptations hide its grim conclusion: Hook isn't the villain. Peter is.

For generations, the American empire was the most powerful force on earth, and so we tended to assume that it was the most *durable* force on earth - surely anything so powerful *must* also be *eternal*? 1/
