Starbucks is closing stores and cutting 900 jobs in a restructuring move. 1,100 jobs were slashed earlier this year. Reminder that Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500.

Comey never thought the leopards would eat HIS face

Bombshell ‘Wall Street Journal’ Investigation Finds Tyler Robinson Once Had Trans Uber Driver

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

I think it's a frightening side effect of vaccines working and people having grown up not knowing life without them. It's an "I feel fine so I can stop me meds" type thing. And a lack of education around it (the whole "immune system vs vaccines" 🤦‍♀️)

It finally happened

On the blatant double standards the media - BBC included - deploys while showcasing Nigel Farage. He is constantly given a free pass not granted to other politicians. bylines.scot/news/the-far...

The polio immunisation program started in the USA in 1955. Look what happened next.

It would be good if the only political pushback against Nigel Farage's plans to mass deport hundreds of thousands of our neighbours, friends, family and colleagues didn't just come from a handful of backbench MPs and one regional mayor

This is the thanks we get for lavishing him with a full state visit - more racist lies and smears about our capital city and its mayor. I assume the condemnation from Starmer will be coming any moment now?

Yeh, this whole Your Party stuff, when the year isn't even over, is ridiculous. The UK is under real risk of sliding into fascism, and Corbyn and Sultana don't seem able to manage a party between them! I'm sure they are both well-intentioned, but this needs to be sorted out, and fast!

Boris Johnson tells The Sun that Reform are a threat to national security because "they are on record as saying that NATO provoked Putin's aggression" against Ukraine. Very true. In other news, here's how Boris Johnson responded when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2016

a Reichstag fire, but one of them every week

Remember how MAGA swore Milei was turning Argentina around and his radical cuts were the blueprint we needed to use here? Well, now Argentina’s stock market is the worst on the planet and we’re giving them a $20 billion dollar bailout. Fun times.

I've signed the National Autistic Society's open letter because I won’t let baseless claims distract me from the real issues autistic people are facing. Will you join the #TruthItMatters campaign and sign it too? act.autism.org.uk/page/178427/...

It’s a rare example of the “free market” taking care of a problem

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When the Right lies about the Left, it's called "Free Speech" but when the Left tells the truth about the Right, it's called "Inciting Violence."

Not my words but: If you think acetaminophen / Tylenol is bad for children… Wait until you hear about assault rifles.

They've lost the 9yos

Okay I'll tell a quick story. A million years ago, I used to write for Esquire's website. I wrote a nice thing about Jimmy Kimmel that was almost certainly illegible trash. He then followed me on Twitter and, ever the Weird Twitter purveyor, invited me to meet him after a show after a goofy tweet.

Nigel Farage claims his mass deportation plan would save the UK hundreds of billions of pounds over the coming decades. New analysis of official statistics, forecasts and Reform's own figures suggests it would actually *cost* the UK hundreds of billions over the same period

Oh hey, the Rapture failed again? Check out our episode one the most infamous examples of apocalyptic miscalculation. youtu.be/4z80wKIwW6w?...

Looks like Kimmel is back starting tomorrow. So maybe the first amendment isn’t dead just yet

As a reminder about the fact that the government is run by jerks, "The White House" presents a picture of Trump reviewing Presidential portraits hung along the colonnade at the White House, with Biden represented by a picture of an autopen.

Kimmel nailed it. Pitch perfect, pointed, funny, honest. And striking a note for unity that Trump would never bother trying to hit. Kimmel is on the high road, and Trump looks like a pathetic child.

This is how I’m dressing for the rapture:

800 detainees are missing after being held in Alligator Alcatraz in July, showing no record of their location in ICE’s database. Other detainees have been mistakenly deported or sent to detention centers thousands of miles away. The cruelty is the point.

My throat is so sore right now 😭

The article echoes what I’ve seen and heard from peers: AI makes it easy to produce slick but shallow work that looks plausible on the surface, yet riddled with errors or bad assumptions underneath. Your coworkers end up having to fix or redo it. It’s workslop, and it’s spreading fast.

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins? He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions. So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

It’s funny how there’s basically two types of European aristocrat left: a) Someone who owns the castle and art collection but otherwise just likes running the family brewery (90 percent of them) b) Someone who owns a pair of callipers and bankrolls the local branch of the Fatherland Front.

It's weird to have the US go on about how they have such a great system when in any other country they'd use it as an example of a failed state. Well, Kenya surpasses the US!

If permanence can be torn up by Reform for settled migrants, how long before it can be torn up for citizens? Read the Bear’s commentary ⤵️ @eastangliabylines.co.uk @bearlypolitics.co.uk

Hanging’s too good for ICE agents

Post a duo

DISNEY: "OK, we are putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air. You can resubscribe now." ME: "I unsubscribed because you immorally bowed to fascism. I'm not going to resubscribe because you immorally bowed to finances."

There are 3-5m Brits living abroad with 'indefinate right to remain'. If Nigel Farage cancels it for people living in the UK, they cancel it for Brits living abroad.

Brilliant!!

Pray for him to go to heaven, as soon as possible

I don't think I've ever been so keenly aware that I'm watching people do and say the kinds of things they'll be lying to their grandchildren about

The most important thing to know about Trump’s acetaminophen announcement is that the GOP is still hiding the Epstein files

Our brains are not wired to comprehend presidential corruption on this scale. Nor is our government, I fear, equipped to address it. trib.al/ZyLd3wO

I agree. Most ppl do. (Blue Labour ffs! What a ridiculous concept!) Starmer should’ve provided the antidote to racism/RW tropes ; instead, his advisers told him to provide a softer version, but what does he -Starmer- actually believe? What are his beliefs? What does he feel passionately about?

When the most powerful man in the world goes about the place spreading very dangerous nonsense about paracetamol and vaccines, millions of people will sit up and listen. It's consequence free for him but this is going to kill a lot of kids and make a lot more children very ill indeed.

youtu.be/CbKD8QguuhU?... With every passing wk, with a heavy ❤️, my belief is confirmed : there are few red lines that Starmer won’t cross. We’ve seen the overly partisan allegiance to 🇮🇱, lack of empathy to Gaza, withdrawal of benefits, sycophancy to the fascist Trump and demonisation of refugees 😞

I understand Miller doesn’t like being called Goebbels, but maybe - and I’m just spitballing here - he should stop plagiarizing Goebbels speeches

Good on you ladies.
