Wrong, as usual. They said: "That may have been the stupidest somebody we ever gave an invitation to."

White and Right? Packing heat tonight. Black or Left? Families bereft.

Gaslightception.

That sound you're hearing is 84 years worth of goodwill towards America boiling away.

Much like Trump seemingly confusing the insurrection act with martial law last night (suspension of habeas corpus) I'm not so sure saying Iceland when he meant Greenland came totally out of the blue. It's entirely possible these things are actively discussed behind closed doors.

A good thing about Donald Trump is that he's given me a crash course in signs to watch out for in my elderly relatives.

Trump asks the room, "Marc, are you here?", as he segues into the séance portion of his Davos address.

I still don't understand why Mauritius has has any real claim to the Chagos Islands. They were only ever grouped together for ease of administration and the displaced Chagossians want the right of self-determination.

Why is there a jar of piss on the table?

If I leave this burning building then the fire wins.

You can watch the video, see where this officer likely came into the drivers eyeline and view her reaction as being in the belief his phone was a gun. Give these goons bodycams and actual training already.

"Vice President Vance, why are you asking Americans to ignore the evidence of their eyes and ears when there's video of the incident and do you have any evidence supporting your claims about Renee Good?" Questions the press pool will not ask.

If you were here for the endless witch hunts, harassment and bullying campaigns which dominated early Bluesky this makes complete sense. Thankfully the newer users mean that that behaviour's been diluted out of my timeline.

A Republic, if you can keep it.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to note the similarity of using US special forces to extract Maduro with the opening of the movie Air Force One.

I doubt it needs to be said on here, but America is not more respected than ever before. America has lost a huge amount of respect around the world, respect it will never get back.

The Rubio is perfect for your Secretary of State needs. Taking up little room this space efficient diplomat, pictured charging on standby, will monitor for international incidents 24/7.

It's really not a good look for various news outlets to be reporting differing amounts of damages in the Trump/BBC lawsuit. Is it $5 or $10 billion? What's the reason for the discrepancy?

Last time I watched #politicslive the Reform spokesperson loudly talked over the other guests and was not reined in by the host. Today the (ex-Tory) Reform spokesperson is doing the same. My assessment that a once OKish politics show is now unwatchable remains unchanged. Thanks Robbie.

I would love to know if the number of negative interactions on Bluesky goes up on Saturday/Sunday mornings when people are more likely hungover.

Yep.

Nice economic theory you've got there, shame it explodes on contact with reality.

President Boxorox recounts his conversation with President Xi.

Pluribus Theory: (Warning I've got a track record of being good at this. Read at your own risk.) The collective will find creative ways to obtain stem cells without invasive procedures. Series cliff hanger will likely be Koumba Diabaté being infected using cells obtained from his "deposits".

So Nigel Farage was the Draco Malfoy of Dulwich College?

The most unsurprising news this century.

Farage's attack on the BBC and ITV today betrays something. There was "acceptable" racism in 70's Britain, but also unacceptable racism. His obsession with Nazi's, gas chambers and his initials being the same as the National Front were firmly unacceptable. Worrying he can't see the difference.

I hope they do Robocop next, follow it up with Snake Plissken and finish with Starship Troopers.

Why does Zia Yousef remind me of this guy? #bbcqt

Swing and a miss.

Just catching up yesterdays on #newsnight. If Tom Harwood is going to act as a reform spokesperson can he please be introduced as one? @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @mattchorley.bsky.social @vicderbyshire.bsky.social @faisalislam.bsky.social

LMAO @ Kate Ferguson of The Sun admonishing the BBC on journalist standards. Is she still dating that twerp Richard Holden? #bbcaq

Whoever in Labour decided to suppress the second accidental release of a prisoner needs firing. Atrocious comms from this government since it came to power. It looks shifty, evasive and deceitful.

Say what you like about the former vice-president, but he had real big Dick Cheneygy.

Nigel Farage claiming he and Richard Tice single-handedly saved the British steel industry is Trumpian level delusion.

Nigel Farage isn't giving an economic speech, it's a call for corruption.

There's a limited number of times you can get away with this kind of brazen lying.

Is this the Me Me Me Party position or Your Party?

Dick Tracy has had enough and walks out of Farage's Reform press conference.

Both Sky and the BBC News cut away to present Farage's latest Reform party broadcast live to the nation.

The immutable 40%. Every. Single Time.

Turns out that whole Constitution thing didn't make our American cousins that much different at all.

With all this gerrymandering and voter suppression going on in America I think someone should form a Make America Democratic party. You see the acronym, and you should be.

Twitter brain is a serious condition.

The continued use of this language has me wondering if there are plans to do something to the protestors. It seems like justification before the fact.
