And now I find out that The Salt Path wasn't even published by a real penguin.

Want to see billionaire brainwashing in action? Seven out of ten Brits are big fans of renewable energy and want to see lots more of it. But they think the majority of people DON’T support it. That disconnect isn’t an accident. 🧵

Feels like the right day to repost this brilliant tweet from @lewisgoodall.com #Trump #BBC #EpsteinFiles #CauseAndDeflect

Never forget the time in 2020 Charlie Kirk (dead now) pretended to be a black guy on Twitter but forgot to switch accounts when giving himself a nice compliment.

Returning our water to public ownership Is it time for our water companies to be taken back into public ownership? MP Clive Lewis and the organisation Compass certainly think so northeastbylines.co.uk/news/politic...

One plus from last night. Kobbie Mainoo on the ball. Still an absolute star. We simply have to find ways to accommodate him.

Donald Trump is suing the BBC. Donald Trump said the BBC used AI to make words come out of his mouth that he never said. It would seem that just playing the whole speech would mean the BBC wins this lawsuit. #r4today

May 1945. Hitler to sue the British army for suggesting he only has one testicle.

These are the guys who keep waving the English flag and claiming to be patriots. Yet they’d side with their country’s enemy, Russia, in a war

Absolutely not good enough. You can't be that open. To play like that 1st half and end up clinging on to a draw after scoring 4. We are also absolutely screwed without Amad for the next month.

Concede straight after half time ✅ Concede straight after conceding ✅

Best 1st half of the season and worst 2nd half of the season so far...

Mindbogglingly dumb

Some top stuff there. Shame about the 10 minute wobble.

Andrea Jenkins: “I’m pro private healthcare.” Zack Polanski: “… You’re pro private healthcare.” Andrea Jenkins: “You’re putting words in my mouth.” 🤦‍♀️ @boldpolitics.Bsky.social

Dr Russell D. Moore is a theologian, pastor, and the editor in chief of Christianity Today.

To be positive, Trump has set the bar for tributes after he dies.

Republican congressman 👇🏽

A reminder that this is the same man who has just spent the past week calling all the Jewish victims of his own horrific anti-semitic abuse liars

So United beat Wolves 4-1 and the narrative is "we should be beating them anyways, bottom of the league etc etc". Arsenal beat them 2-1 at home thanks to 2 OGs and all we hear about is the drama, resilience 🤷

A reminder that when Gary Lineker was under fire a couple of years back for criticising the Conservatives while a BBC presenter, the channel said, by contrast, it was fine for Lord Sugar to repeatedly endorse the Tories because he was "free to say, as a business person, what he wants to say."

Jeremy Clarkson regularly wrote political columns backing the Conservatives and conservative views, was personal friends with David Cameron and called the then Labour Prime Minister a "one-eyed idiot" on air. Again, not a problem.

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Here is a bit of my resignation speech from last night

For the record, Robin Ince is a superb comedian, an absolute mensch, a remarkable thinker and the kindest human you’ll ever meet. And the BBC is a genuinely great and globally unique institution that needs to stop being afraid. I think that’s where most of its faults and issues stem from.

A MONTH'S WAGES to see Messi and he was surrounded by celebrities, stayed for a brief time & didn't play the expected exhibition kick about. Football really is the pits. This globalisation & exploitation of the game will fail. Invest locally, build pride, community, benefit in the game.

Nice one, Spidey.

That news story about yer lad falling off a lamp post he was tying a flag to and dying using lots of euphemisms like 'a character', 'colourful' and 'well-known' when a perfectly-serviceable if robust four letter word was available.

If handing someone their arse, was a video clip

This is a really appalling editorial error on BBC Question Time "Apparently one in three children don't speak English as a first language, why does this matter?" Chair says "have English as a second language" Caption changes the meaning entirely "Don't speak fluent English"

This took me far too long to make. If only there was some kind of machine could've done it for me…

NEW: Five years of social media history is only a fraction of what the US Government will shortly demand of overseas visitors. The full requirements will end tourism in the United States. Below is the full, mind-blowing list. 🚨THEY. WANT. YOUR. DNA.🚨 1/

Solidarity with the hunger strikers. It is an egregious violation for them to be held on remand - without trial or conviction. All for protesting against a genocide. Shameful.

It's incredible they've managed to find a way to make this story funnier.

My favorite part of this particular video is Glasheen's dramatic accordion hands when he realizes Thompson is not going to let him lie, deflect, deny his way out of this question

I don't really post anymore, but I would like to carry on writing books at some point in the future. Hate to be annoying, but any chance you could retweet so old twitter followers can find me if they want to? Going to delete my twitter, or at least abandon it on lock and let it die a slow death.

It's very clear that unlimited wealth causes brain damage. That's not an exaggeration. It's similar to other unnatural human conditions like solitary confinement (which is widely understood to cause mental deterioration) and other types of sensory deprivation.

This is really good work.

Farage just said “I didn’t wear a mask last time and I won’t wear them this time. This is nonsense.” Here he is, not only wearing a mask, but also getting vaccinated…

And more to the point, he's a liar who thinks his audience won't care that he's lying, because he's feeding them what they want to hear now...

I'm deeply concerned about the wellbeing of prisoners who were involved in Palestine Action protests, and are currently on hunger strike. Some have not eaten for six weeks. A number have been hospitalised. They are all being held on remand - without trial or conviction.

Tomorrow's front page 📰 'The UK is letting these people die'

Yes. Next.

Venezuela's just the first of many, and they're hoping other places will just fold instead of getting into a protracted air and ground war after this one. And I know what you're thinking: Didn't the creation of Dubai require slaves? Yes! Good point! Noodle on that for a minute.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

This is obscene. That others in politics can’t or won’t say that this is obscene hits at the heart of the problems we face. We are the 99.999%. Tax the super rich. Join.greenparty.org.uk
