lol

Turns out it was the Dem shutdown after all, they kept the government closed, made Federal workers sacrifice their pay, and then dumped healthcare All so Trump could laugh uncontrollably at how pathetic they are

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Australians will be getting 3 hours of free electricity a day because of how many people have installed solar - this is seriously huge considering the massive solar uptake in Australia happened while the federal government delayed action on climate www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Starting a nuclear arms race and possible war, all because he doesn't want anyone to see his name in the Epstein files

This is the inside of Trump's brain, all the time

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

Still amusing to me that MAGA’s alpha male hero is obsessed with a gilded ballroom. They voted for Rambo and got Liberace.

a) of course Trump styled his ballroom on a Russian one b) the Russian one is infinitely more impressive c) I've been in more impressive hotel dining rooms d) the Epstein Ballroom is going to be everything Trump

Can we all just openly agree that "culturally coherent" means "white"? Seems silly to dress up racism with nonsense word salad. Lam should be proud of her bigotry, it's all she's got

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home. I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

Jewish Insider just sent out an email with an article with more Platner info. And yeah, this guy is DONE done.

It sounds like the Republicans should stop protecting Bill Clinton and release the Epstein files.

How on earth can Starmer miss every open goal? All they had to do was say "frankly the Conservatives are now openly racist" But instead they went for "those Tories have some great ideas, but we can do them a bit better"

To me, and this is genuine, this video sums up why Australia is so good This attitude makes all the difference youtu.be/9QCgqQdmr0M?...

14 years I ago I wrote this. The same is still true today, even if it has become a little more relative and a little less absolute www.abc.net.au/news/2011-12... Here's Justin Wolfers Boyer Lecture the other day saying the same (worth watching) www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAa9...

Decades after the Heysel and Hillsborough disasters, can politicians please not second-guess expert safety assessments for football stadiums. Thank you. An Aston Villa fan.

When this kicks off - and it will - Starmer and Labour are going to look very, very stupid. Doubly so when Maccabi Haifa fans use one of their favourite chants: "There are no schools in Gaza, there are no children left". www.theguardian.com/politics/...

"Don't be a loser like Charlie Kirk. You should turn better"

If you’re a man in the room and a public official says this about your female colleague, you don’t continue as if nothing happened.

Breaking: Disturbing scenes out of Portland, 2025 — authorities warn the situation could escalate.

Every A.I. CEO is like “We invented a robot that can fuck your wife so you have more free time to mow the lawn!”

Portland Frog updates about getting pepper sprayed in his fan intake 🐸🫡

"I do not want to be part of the generation that pulls up the ladder" Well said

"I'm here to talk about what others won’t. To tell the truth about what makes our country great and what makes it not so great. While others thrive on creating scapegoats, I am here to tell you a different story." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I work with Veterans. If I told them that they "killed people and broke things for a living" they would (rightfully) tell me to go to hell. Those that have had to kill someone in the line of duty most often view it with sadness, regret, and one of the worst experiences of their lives.

Very good stuff from Sadiq Khan at the Labour Irish society event. He said there are two reasons he loves coming to Labour Conference. “One is the reception at the Labour Party Irish Society reception. “The second is to get away from all the Sharia Law in London”

Keir Starmer and Number 10 upended a previously low-profile digital ID policy last week, and made it the stuff of headlines – and mandatory. They have no idea of the size of the landmine they've stepped on by doing so. They've set up a new culture war. www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-t...

It's so clear that there's a huge number of professionals in the US who carry with them traumatic memories of being excluded, laughed at, or looked down up on by the Smart Kids and who have basically made hostility to Smart Kids their entire personality, ideology, & worldview.

this is something white people will never understand.

What do you do when your media org is captured? You start your own. Introducing....The Nerve!!! @thenerve-news.bsky.social We're all-female, journalist-owned & launching next week. Please help us build a truly independent, progressive new media!👊👊👊

First Trump slashed funding for vaccines research now he's peddling dangerous nonsense about paracetamol. The UK should take on Trump’s anti-science agenda and open our doors to US researchers.

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

“Harvard geneticist David Reich said … increasingly sophisticated analysis of genetic material made possible by technological advances shows that virtually everyone came from somewhere else, and everyone’s genetic background shows a mix from different waves of migration that washed over the globe.”

"For a long time, Republicans have adhered to a definition of free speech that could be simply summarized as: Conservatives can say what they want, and everyone else can say what conservatives want. That is now the policy of the Trump administration."

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

At this rate, coming up next week: Disney orders Marvel to retcon Black Panther as a white dude from Rhodesia who fights for the rights of Afrikaner farmers.

Look who came with

I gave a talk this week on the vulnerability of UK institutions to a populist govt and I was told by an audience member that the US and Hungary couldn't happen here. I said it absolutely could and Reform are learning fast. The complacency is scary

The Kimmel video: "The MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

Could Trump be a bigger baby? www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

Musk told a large crowd + a larger offline audience that they would risk death & erasure if they did not support pre-emptive political violence. "You will have no choice. Whether you choose violence or not, violence is coming to you. You either fight back or you die, that’s the truth, I think.”

Elon Musk openly called for violence on our streets yesterday. I hope politicians from all parties come together to condemn his deeply dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric. Britain must stand united against this clear attempt to undermine our democracy.

When speaking to Tommy Robinson at the far right demonstration in London today, Elon Musk wore a t-shirt saying "What would Orwell think?" So let's dive in - what would George Orwell think about Tommy Robinson and Elon Musk? 🧵

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

Keep thinking of arguments for why it would be completely insane to dump a prime minister with a huge majority just 14 months in, and also about how if he's not going to say a single word in opposition to the kind of shit we saw today then I no longer feel convinced by any of those arguments.
