The populist right don't give a crap about solving real societal problems. Just running a cretinous pantomime for people who mistake “owning the libs” for improving their own lives — while the men at the top quietly fill their pockets and walk away richer than ever.

Fabulous how this is being reported as “Great news from gracious President” and not “World still cowering under unpredictable whims of mad, senile Emperor.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Coachella sure rolled around quickly, seems like only a week ago it was on.

This entire clip down to the "Trump Orders McDonalds" crawl at the bottom feels like a fever dream, you couldn't recreate the cultural and societal trajectory that created this moment if you tried for a thousand years

Anyone who contributed to this event - the politicians and journalists who normalised him or submitted to his narratives, around the world - should hang their fucking heads in shame. They've put us in the most dangerous geopolitical situation for a generation and left a people at risk of genocide.

This should always have been the end of it.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

This is an extraordinary front page for a British newspaper to run. Donald Trump’s delinquency, derangement & imperilling of international security is somehow a stick with which to beat our own Prime Minister, who has negotiated the current horror show rather well. It is actually sickening.

If you still support this deranged, senile old fuck after this, there is no hope for you.

Not sure he should be in charge

It’s hard to think of anyone who needs a kick in the nuts more than this dolt.

Trump at wartime

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

When Brexit was slammed for being an act of pure prejudice, all the Brexiters howled about ‘sovereignty’ and ‘taking back control’. Now, the very same people howl that we should just obey Trump and put our country in the firing line. They lied about everything. All of it. Every single part.

It's extremely clear that the US doesn't really have an objective here except to inflict maximum pain, and attacking water supply is going to end catastrophically for the entire region. It's not just a war crime, it's approaching a crime against humanity.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show. Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground: “We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

That shirt’s way too small.

Oh dear

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Jansen Ganesh is on fire in this column on the UK’s role in the Iran conflict www.ft.com/content/eaee...

I see the ‘patriotic’ parts of the press are delighting in a US President having a go at the PM.

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail. Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

Matt Goodwin?

Reform goes down the Trump route of trying to delegitimise the election just because they lost. Pathetic.

They warn that it’s going to destroy society, and then lecture us for refusing to “engage” when we don’t rush to integrate it into every aspect of our lives

Not sure if Man United owner Jim Ratcliffe will see this being as he literally migrated to Monaco to avoid paying tax in the UK, but we wanted to put this up outside the stadium anyway…. 📍 Old Trafford, Matt Busby Way

Tosspot

More invested in haircut lad than is good for me

No one wants to see a goal like that seal a game 🤣

for better or worse, people will forget about that video by the end of the year, if not end of the month. but when trump finally kicks the bucket, there were be orgasmic celebrations across the US & around the world. he will be remembered as the most despised US president since WWII for generations

She was asking a question about whether the Epstein survivors have received justice. But Vance wants her to “smile and have some fun” while asking the president a question about trafficking victims. bsky.app/profile/fact...

so crazy to me that a woman asked trump if he has any words for epstein's victims and he said "you as a young woman should smile more." it will go nowhere bc republicans refuse to hold trump accountable, but it's still pretty crazy.

Full Bad Bunny speech

It's sometimes hard to convey just how nuts it is that in this pathetic gilded age, the most 'successful' human on the planet is also, right out there in public, one of its most ridiculous losers

Waiting for the Out, on the iplayer, is so good on the prison of the mind and childhood trauma. Incredible lead performance. Loved it

Imagine drumming on Double Barrel when you're 18, then going on to play on Police And Thieves, Pull Up To The Bumper, and a million crucial recordings. And, of course, Boops (a track I often get obsessed with). Like the LP title, Sly Dunbar was a Rhythm Killer. R.I.P. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVIs...

Frosty there, the idiot’s idiot

Hey, your daughter was murdered by my guys, but will you still love me? I'm needy.

What are we becoming? nation.cymru/feature/she-...

It’s truly a special kind of unhinged psychotic who will come up with “You didn’t give me the Nobel Peace Prize so I’m going to start World War 3.”

Trump says he’s willing to go to war with NATO because he hasn’t won the Nobel Peace Prize. MAGA wants to submit all of our rights and power to an enormous, stupid baby.

The British far-right aren't making any secret of what they want for the UK. They're literally printing it in headlines.

This is completely fucking unacceptable. Shut this terrorist government down until it stops brutalizing its own citizens.

Trump has just declared himself the "acting president of Venezuela" over on Truth Social in case you're wondering about his mental health.

She smiles at the man who shoots her and says she isn't mad at him. Clearly initiates the effort to leave when the aggressive agents arrive. The question now (not that this was in question) isn't who's telling the truth. It's when DHS had this video and knew that what they were saying was a lie.
