About time

Senator Chris Murphy confirmed after attending a briefing on Iran that the government has no plan. The war goals do NOT include a regime change or destroying the nuclear weapons program. They attacked Iran for…vibes. The people who say it is to distract from the Epstein Files may have a point.

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

Remember when Farage said he'd cut your taxes before? He just can't be trusted:

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

Who do they represent? Themselves. Nigel Farage and Suella Braverman missed NINE votes in Parliament last night, all because they had a more important Reform UK rally on the Isle of Wight. They think they are too big to do their job.

That’s why Elon bought it

Having some of the most thoroughly redacted thoughts of my life.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

The US and Israel continue to strike Iran, hitting oil storage depots and refining facilities for the first time.

Oh my god. Perfection

Everything about this is brilliant

Hegseth wants the people he sends to fight trump’s war of opportunity to die in anonymity.

Joani Reid who suggested Corbyn was a Russian asset despite zero evidence? Her husband? Ah fuck, she's gonna be LIVID. metro.co.uk/2026/03/04/l...

If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.

In 1787, Robert Burns acquired a diamond-tipped pen which he used to inscribe poems on windows & chimney-pieces across Scotland. “I Murder Hate” is Burns’s version of “make love, not war” #graffiti, & was etched into a window at the Globe Tavern, Dumfries #WyrdWednesday #C18 #poem #poetry

This is what weak and insecure people think confidence looks like: buffoonish bluster and swagger, like a 12-year-old bully. It doesn‘t inspire trust or security. It inspires grave concern for the lives of the people serving our nation whose fate is in the hands of these overcompensating oafs.

'In International Waters'. There is no justification or legal grounds for this.

lolololol

Ok NHS waiting lists in the 2000s etc but have you considered Tony Blair is a mass murderer and he profits from genocide

Devastating climate change predicted for Antarctica So what? Antarctica’s a long way away🤷🏻‍♀️… “Changes in the Antarctic do not stay in the Antarctic” Burn that into your brain 🧠

JD Vance criticized an American-born Olympian who chose to represent China. If he wanted to celebrate America, he could honor a Chinese dissident whose daughter won gold. He won't, b/c we are deporting refugees now, and Vance is just here for the immigrant-bashing. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

"Those early records had a bookish romance, a cloistered air that meant they were more than good collections of songs — they were hermitages into which one could retreat for a while." I went to see Belle and Sebastian in Troon and wrote about it for The Times. www.thetimes.com/culture/musi...

The reason the FBI won't share evidence in the Alex Pretti shooting case is obvious: The FBI is NOT investigating the shooting; they are covering it up. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I know this makes me an extremist but I think our baby concentration camps should be abolished.

Weird how all of the skills were transferrable.

The actress Michelle Williams reads Britney Spears autobiography and let me tell you..she should have won a Grammy for her impersonation of Justin Timberlake impersonating a Black dude.

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison. Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water. Our priorities are so fucked.

“Jackson is arrested in 1993 after blocking 5th Avenue as part of a group protesting against the Clinton administration’s policy of maintaining a detention camp for Haitian political refugees who were HIV positive” Remember this history as we remember this man.

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

A Swiss commentator used a live Olympics broadcast to call out Israel competitor Adam Edelman who is a self-described 'Zionist to the core' By @skwawkbox.org

We interrupt tributes to Jesse Jackson to bring you your daily dose of racism. Thanks, Beeb. Respectfully handled.

This is fucking despicable. They’re copypasting their abuse of trans people onto new targets now (and many of the same targets, given how much overlap there is). I had to fight for a shared care agreement with the ADHD meds that I fucking need to function. Taking them from anyone is beyond cruel.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Good Lord.

I often think about the fact that if the FBI et al had not killed Fred Hampton, he would be 78 today. Younger than Jesse Jackson was. Must have felt strange to outlive many of your contemporaries by decades.

The headline doesn't even begin to describe how wildly unethical the background of this story is, which is that the survivor only shared the story with one person- her psychiatrist- who is Kamel Doud's wife

What’s going on in Bothwell? This pretty heritage town near Glasgow is the target of ongoing arson attacks - why can’t police find who is responsible and what do locals think? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Has anyone in the Epstein Files who didn’t do anything wrong been punished? Maybe someone who was at a meeting Epstein was at. Never went to the island, didn’t get money from him, nor had a bunch of friendly emails. Anyone get arrested, fired, etc.? Because moral panics feature that sort of thing.

Jesse v Marvin

Goldman: "If Trump wants to put his name on everything, as he does, then let's start calling this the Trump-Epstein files"

The other day Manchester United’s co-owner Jim Ratcliffe said the UK had been "colonised by immigrants"….today there’s this billboard outside of Old Trafford 🔥….way to go Manchester 💪!

Surely, SURELY, after the despicable revelations about Charles helping to fund Andrew to pay off child r*pe victim Victoria Giuffre, it's time to abolish the monarchy? All on tonight's Chai Time News with Ani.Says - only on our YouTube

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

This is a very good thread about how the Trans rights debate is being controlled by a small number of people

Another thing. They went for trans kids because it's easier to target them than trans adults. Trans kids you can threaten the parents with safeguarding and child abduction and force them to tolerate a lot of institutional abuse with limited outcry.

Anyone who had genuine concerns about youth gender medicine would staunchly and wholeheartedly support social transition. Let kids explore their identities to see what works for them! The fact that this movement opposes even pronouns and haircuts shows that it's just bigotry all the way down.

Oh you mean can do public information services that speak directly to the needs at hand , without erasing historical precedent and amplifying stochastic terror ?!?
