For the record, my stats decreed that the series order would be: 5. Kumail 3= Armando 3= Joanna 2. Amy 1. Joel a few problems in the methodology I think

The two modes of MAGA media: cry victim or claim victory

Note to right wing influencers: you can't just row back from supporting Trump in 2024 & all the 'he'll be a great president 2nd time around crap you spouted... nobody receives a 'get out of jail free' card in this game of fucksticks monopoly.

How the Mail covered Starmer's refusal to follow Trump into Iran because "he's in thrall to the international lawyer class". Presumably the same class that warned against joining illegal wars in which the leader promises that "a whole civilisation will die"

Spring is in the air

Translation: “I don’t want to help the UK by paying tax”. I am really growing very tired of hearing advice from super-wealthy people who so obviously put themselves first but pretend otherwise.

Not my own work. W/alt text.

#PizzaMovie is the most fun! 😂

This is what Louis CK said in his comedy special “Sorry” after he was outed as a predatory creep who m@sturbated in front of young female comics in locked hotel rooms.

Lazerquest.

Stunning 😍

You wouldn't know it from much of the coverage but Reform are now seven points lower in the polls, on average, than they were six months ago

Democrats: We only have 3 justices on the court! They have 6! It's not our fault! two of the three democrat supreme court justices: Actually we think you should be able to browbeat children into saying they're straight to appease their insane parents

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. I know trans people and I know fascists who are making life difficult for trans people. The trans people are pretty cool and I'm glad I know them. The fascists can go fall down a deep dark hole.

youtu.be/lDeE-Jf8rDo?... I can't seem to move past this.

Me: Can you settle a question? Are you in fact dressed as Eleanor of Aquitaine? Child, dressed as Eleanor of Aquitaine: yes Me: Any particular reason? Child's dad: We're going on holiday tomorrow and we've run out of normal clothes scenes

New Roald Dahl villain just dropped, lads.

Quiet Revival myth spread rapidly and impactfully around the world At the time we pointed out why its claims were implausible and likely down to a survey error YouGov have today admitted it had 'fraudulent' respondents. The report has now been retracted, but after much damage has already been done

YES.

A lot of people clap and cheer at Arkell v Pressdram style legal letters. But the most deadly legal letters are calm and polite, and this one is lethal.

So, about those Eid prayers in London... "What's the highest thing in Trafalgar Square?" "Nelson's column, innit?" "And the highest thing on the column?" "Nelson." "And on Nelson?" "His hat." "And the highest thing on his hat?" "That bit that sticks up." 1/8

Wes Streeting having the chutzpah to tell the story about the NHS. He doesn't tell the bit about how much he's accepted from private healthcare and the risk our NHS is at under this Labour Government. And most of all, lots of questions about his meetings with Palantir. #BBCQT

🔎 From the archive: WATCH: Nigel Farage Used ‘Homophobic Racial Slur’ in Personal Message Video — by Dan Evans and Tom Latchem 🔁 Relevant again: As Nigel Farage’s Dubious paid for Cameo roles are back in the news. 3 years ago…

I have a Constitution class joke but I'm not that enterprising.

London can be cute, but something in me just yearns for Daleks trundling across every distant walkway.

🎉 I'm on the new Musicians' Union Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Board! We’ll be looking at strategies to celebrate and encourage diversity, promote equality and challenge inequalities across the music industry invt.io/1bxbeopjzo5

Oof. This is impressive. Not the usual green-tie nonsense.

It’s such a beautiful show, in an indescribable sort of way

europeans when asked to help unblock the strait of hormuz

The best summing up of Trump i've ever seen.

That's true leadership 🫠 Farage has no interest in actually improving things. No surprise here. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c93wv0ylq9yo

The first celebrity death that made me cry. (The second was Victoria Wood.)

Was in parliament yesterday talking about how the manosphere = sales funnel. They aren’t just content creators; they are masculinity entrepreneurs - businessmen who profit from making young men feel inadequate

With For All Mankind returning on March 27, it's been over two years since season 4 ended. If you need to refresh your memory, AppleTV has put together a short recap:

The Conservative party logo is a tree.

Been following YouGov daily polls for *years* and Reform voters just reliably give the worst, most dismal answers. These are not people who think things can get better, these are the old men in the pub who know nothing else but complaint and cynicism.

We have a set of mugs at home that are all the same style, but different colours. One colour I personally dislike over all the others. If im pissed off with my wife I make her coffee using the worst coloured mug. That will show her.

It turns out that if you help Ukraine with modern highly effective missiles - and stop trembling in fear of Putin and burying Ukraine under endless absurd restrictions - Russia starts losing key military factories and weapons one after another. It becomes less capable of continuing this war.

I say this every year, but: The uni students I'm teaching are thoughtful, intelligent, will make everything they encounter better. With a new addition for 2026: They deeply hate AI.

If I see Josette in the cast of something, I just know I want to watch it. Saw her at the RSC a few years ago as Cleopatra and it was beyond mesmerising 😍

A trans person drawing on a statue with chalk got comment from the Home Secretary and coverage on TV and in all the main papers. A female Green MP being harassed and abused in the street by transphobes gets nothing... #JustProtectingWomen

Braevyn’s mom just told me he didn’t make it. President Trump called her early this morning to say that one of Braevyn’s calf implants exploded as he & his fiancée K’Lauria were being airlifted from Al Maktoum Int’l Airport. He died instantly. K’Lauria, I’m ready to #comfort you.

Ooh, it's *reeeeally* satisfying marking Temu emails as phishing in Gmail.

which way western man

Wes Streeting likes to say he's following the evidence - but in fact he's following the bigots. We know it and he knows it.

The candidate who is an ex-cop working on making the police transphobic and is also a Sex Matters trustee (I love to see losers lose)

It's 8pm on a Friday night. I've just brewed myself a cup of decaf tea and spooled up the Taskmaster s6 series finale (just to get it over with). This is LIVING.

It's interesting to see so many people speculating about what Muslims collectively think about the Greens' stance on trans people's rights and whether that could be a problem for their strategy while the Tories fielded a gender crit and absolutely ate shit.

Literal shitpost 🤣

Watching my toilet spewing waste but at least the plumber is on her way. Sadly can't turn on TV because of the poo but I'm sure she'll be here soon
