These thieves keep stealing blueprints from my theft empire!

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.

Trump Invites Caucasian Half Of Alysa Liu To Visit White House

I'm fine with this as long as it's about the right-wing talk radio hosts who said COVID wasn't real and then died of COVID

Virginia Giuffre died aged 42.

These people are poison. They will unleash racist thugs on the streets of this country and call it security. They will subjugate us to the US and call it patriotism. They must be stopped. There is no more important task in politics.

Yeah, I use this mug for my morning cuppa. What? Scared of me living my truth? Guess I’m just too dangerous for your cookie cutter white bread world, huh?

Aide Wearily Begins 5th Explanation Of Why Trump Can’t Pardon Prince Andrew

Personally very very lapsed. But this guy just keeps releasing banger after banger at the moment.

Werder Bremen have cancelled their US tour for this summer, citing ICE action in Minneapolis as “not fitting the values” of the club. Via @sebsb.bsky.social at the Athletic:

A U.S. Navy sailor was medically evacuated Saturday from an American nuclear-powered submarine by Danish military forces, The submarine broke from its mission and surfaced near Nuuk, Greenland, www.msn.com/en-us/news/w...

Illegal migrant in small boat stopped from entering sovereign territory without a permit.

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle. It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get. www.deadlanguagesociety.com/p/how-far-ba...

Please stop telling me how these guys are geniuses when every interview with them sounds like a 12-year-old who was held back a grade.

New rule should be that if you compare the energy needs of a human being to those of an algorithm to justify the latter, you get tossed in The Pit

The Musk family are actively endorsing Restore Britain, a party the racist Reform UK considers excessively racist, whose slogan is “millions must go” and whose leaders call for the expulsion of Britons of darker skin or Jewish, Muslim or otherwise non-Christian faith

One for Rupert, Nige and the rest of the boys to mull over…

There's such a large canon of sci-fi about a hypothetical Fascist Britain and after watching this I can't help but feel that Reform watched those movies and came away with the completely wrong idea abou them.

I'm so fascinated by tourists who see what's happening in the US and think, surely I'll be fine, for the norms shall protect me.

Enjoy the World Cup …

Just seen that “AI is punk” take and… gosh. Was not aware that “counter-culture” in 2026 meant participating in a trillion dollar industry pushed by the world’s most valuable companies and the world’s most powerful nation.

Well of fucking course Trump wants his Russian pals back in sport …

The only bit of pushback I got from publishers when writing the Ange book was the amount of swearing from interviewees. Editor said it read like an Irvine Welsh novel. What did they expect from virtually an all-Aussie cast of talking heads? Fought hard to keep a few cnuts in manuscript …

Your weekend reminder that, in 2022, the current and former monarchs of the UK gave millions of pounds to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to help him settle a civil case brought by one of his victims, a woman so traumatised by her ordeal that she later took her own life. The entire monarchy is rotten.

“We were stunned [about the prescience] for a while, but we’ve really gotten to the point where it’s really sad. It’s just sad how predictable and lame and obvious and wrong it all is. Fascism is just a total fail in the end.” www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-featur...

Trump Suffers Setback Unrelated To Child Rape

Thank Christ the Special Relationship is going to save us from the toddler king’s latest tariffs, eh? Phew.

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

"We are committed to restoring trust in Government by ensuring that Ministers are held to the highest standards," Josh Simons told MPs last year. "The ethics of service must always guide all of us" www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I know it’s a comedy skit. But EVERYONE involved in sports journalism has been faced with this sort of interviewee … youtube.com/shorts/9tTNi...

Fingers crossed.

It's a fair point.

The Free Press is discovering new levels of Telling On Yourself that scientists previously thought could not exist

Your man may have broken his own organisation’s rules on political neutrality. But these things only matter when others seem to do it. So nothing to see here.

While we're all celebrating that no one is above the law, a reminder that the current King accepted literal bags full of cash from the Prime Minister for a foreign country and the Met failed to interview or arrest the then Crown Prince before quietly closing the case. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-6194...

This guy’s output makes a lot more sense if you think of him as the Fathers 4 Justice member who got to the top of the cathedral only to realise he hadn’t packed his superhero costume

A great post by the excellent @writesbright.bsky.social. Do read it. writesbright.substack.com/p/media-dera...

Translating for non-Scots. When the curling coach tells his players: “I’m not a huge fan of it …” what he means is: “No. Don’t even think about that shot.” #curling #winterolympics

Trump appears to be unaware of the fact that Diego Garcia is 3,800 km from Iran.

"Donald Trump's name is all over these files. I saw a reference today of a 9-year-old girl " Jamie Raskin after reading the unredacted Epstein Files

Trump actually says he wants the price of housing to rise even more.

Clearly had a call from the boss in Moscow.

you dont like hearing that your preferred platform is a nazi/kiddie porn platform. i get why that might bug you but its reality.

Gooooaaaallllll!!!! Mitch Marner!!!
