Just been made aware of Haiti's winter Olympics get-up. That skirt looks warm, has good pockets, and has a massive horse on it. DING DING DING.

My son was wearing Hi Viz and reflecting gear and a helmet with an embedded LED when an Islington Council van rolled through a mandatory cycle-crossing and hit him while the driver was looking at his phone. He tried to persuade me not to phone 999 in case he lost his job. I was surprisingly unmoved.

I've said it before and I've said it again. Once you notice which politicians, while engaging in perfectly normal and regular political cut-and-thrust, are described as "bitchy" and (in this case) "gossipy," and what their sexuality is, you can never un-notice it...

Imagine if Jeffrey Epstein, JEFFREY EPSTEIN! thought there was something shady about your financial arrangements?

"My Jeffrey Epstein-branded sweatshirt has people asking a lot of questions which, now I come to think of it, are entirely reasonable."

In Ghostbusters 2, it is never explained how Slimer, who has no feet, is able to operate the gas and brake pedals on the bus he is driving for the city of New York. He must use specialist augmented controls, so he is also an inspirational and aspirational figure for people with disabilities.

It's just ultimately REALLY unconvincing for the prime minister to run with a "I knew he was friends with a paedophile, but I didn't know they were BEST friends 😔" line

no hiding for the PM really, is there

key reason you can’t give no 10 the benefit of the doubt on this stuff. ought to be fatal. www.newstatesman.com/politics/lab...

Peter’s exact role has been somewhat mysterious for quite some time

This is not a good system. Why wouldn't a block be an automatic unfollow?

The Green Party are definitely Schrödinger's Threat To The Labour Party, aren't they? Not to be taken seriously as a credible party for government, but to be relentlessly attacked as such, for some reason...

Dude, this isn't a riddle to get out of a prison cell. That Starmer only lies when it suits him to do so doesn't make him a better or more moral individual.

I'm not sure I can think of a public figure who routinely demands more deference from her interlocutors than Stella. This is a welcome volte-face.

You can't fool me. There's no such thing as "Brantley Gilbert."

It's absolutely appropriate that on actual Groundhog Day, the UK posters here are discussing Peter Mandelson resigning from something in disgrace, and the US posters are disgusting whether or not paying delivery drivers a living wage is ableist.

Thrilled by the response to my first novel being announced. For those wondering, you can PRE-ORDER at the below links! Amazon UK: www.amazon.co.uk/Dogs-Street-... Amazon US: www.amazon.com/Prestige-Dra... Bookshop: uk.bookshop.org/p/books/brig... Waterstones: www.waterstones.com/book/prestig...

The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

I would just reiterate, that it seems unlikely that I, Just A Guy, A Regular Guy, knew more in-depth detail about Peter Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein than the Prime Minister off the United Kingdom who was at the time considering appointing him as Ambassador to the United States.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression. CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school? DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town. C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name? DR: Now look

Once you notice which political figures are called "bitchy" for comments entirely within the normal cut and thrust of politics, and what their sexuality is, it's impossible to un-notice it.

Calling it now: in the next GE, Polanski is going to run against Starmer in Holborn and St Pancras, and he's going to win.

Hmm, yes I suppose left wing politics could be a material improvement to people's lives, but ☝️🤓 have you considered that it is populism.

I think it's more likely that the World Cup simply won't happen this year.

"My "I Have A Personal Mandate To Lead Britain For The Next 5 Years" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions etc etc etc etc

Every night before bed I go into each of my children's bedrooms and say to them "don't tell the others I said this, but you're my favourite." Basically what Brian Epstein did to motivate The Beatles.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

finally: you can Netflix and chill while i talk about genocide

Simon is 82. 🤞

We open on the funeral of Garfield... The rain falls heavily. A skeletal hand falls supportively on the shoulder of Jon Arbuckle (35, hot but he doesn't know it).

'Berman's lyrics are often melancholic, deceptively simple, funny and modest, with a sense of acute intelligence and curiosity that has somehow fallen in on itself under the weight of it all, left standing bemused and amused in the wreckage' The Strange World of #DavidBerman buff.ly/wf8j77h

Can’t get over this.

Truly a masterful ploy by The Traitors, giving the dagger to this bozo, this chump, this balloon. #TraitorsUK #Traitors

A former colleague, a man with two post-graduate qualifications, voted "Leave" as a protest, but thought it didn't matter because he lived in a pro-Remain constituency.

And once again: Ireland should immediately cease the use of our airports by the US military.

In fairness, this is very funny.

A better question might be: why is this embarrassing for Starmer and not embarrassing for the entirety of the press corps who cheerled his "masterful management" and "playing a blinder" during Trump's state visit?

It would appear that it is now government policy that we should all cancel any insurance policies we might have. Pretty good news, those things are expensive!

Even on here, I’ve noticed a distinct shift from people outside the country that’s essentially, “This isn’t funny anymore, fix your shit America.” I just wonder if our congressional invertebrates are feeling that at all.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

(looks around nervously.) Er, I actually think the Americans have a point about the overly unctuous way people order food in the UK. (logs off Bluesky, possibly forever.)

When Trump says "one way or another we're going to have Greenland" - we should sit up and listen. Time for British leaders to stop burying their heads in the sand. www.newstatesman.com/politics/uk-...

america doesnt need more whole milk. it needs more milf hole. why am i being dragged out of this PTA meeting. hey, get your hands off of me

On the basis that the Turkish for the nut "Filbert" is "Fındık," I think "Dilbert" translates as "Dındık," which is Turkish for "it stopped." This is how languages work, I imagine. I shall be taking no further questions.

SMDH. This guy must be pretty embarrassed with how the last 24 hours has gone.

Sure but why aren't we celebrating the fact that Starmer has played a blinder and secured major money to boost the UK economy for several years to come?
