You’re joking!

Oh. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

cryptocurrency industry and Tether, the exact stablecoin company where Harborne holds a massive stake. Purely a fluke of timing! Remember folks: Democracy isn't bought. It’s just heavily, repeatedly, and aggressively financed by a single billionaire who lives in Thailand and

"I said it's quite bold of Nigel Farage to avoid all media interviews during an important by-election. What did I say Roy?" "You said the cowardly little shit's in hiding because of his dodgy financial dealings"

This is appalling venomous bigotry from Goodwin, and while I'm no big fan of Rachel, that's not her fault. This man should not be treated as a normal public figure.

Lucy White, Restore Britain member & vocal racist, objects to Marc Guehi playing for England - ostensibly because he was born in the Ivory Coast (coming to England aged one) but in fact because he is black. She agrees with another user - a Restore branch organiser - about the other black players

Stephen Colbert closed out the final episode of The Late Show with an emotional performance of “Hello, Goodbye” alongside Paul McCartney. Paul McCartney symbolically switched off the studio lights one last time to the Ed Sullivan Theater. 🥹🥺

⚡️ Russian attacks kill 5, injure 52 across Ukraine as Dnipro drone strike leaves dozens wounded. Moscow launched 124 drones across Ukraine, 115 of which were intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses, according to the Air Force.

For more than a decade, Stephen Colbert has been one of the top voices of late night—making us laugh and, even more importantly, reminding us who we are and what America stands for. Michelle and I enjoyed being Stephen’s guests—even when the games were rigged—and we’re grateful to call him a friend.

This is a shocking indictment of the abject failure of UK news shows to get the actual facts about net migration across to the public and call out the bull**** by the likes of Nigel Farage youtu.be/WuSKdLtKHCs?...

"Nigel Farage might not think the public cares about this. But it appears that they do. And maybe Farage knows this too. If not, he’d probably have been happy to mention the £5 million in the first place."

"I’m here in support tonight for Stephen, because you are the first guy in America who lost his show because we got a president who can't take a joke….and because Larry and David Ellison feel they need to kiss his ass to get what they want.”- Bruce Springsteen

Thank you @colbertlateshow.bsky.social 👏🙏💚

Long-time Epstein assistant, Sarah Kellen, was listed in his sweetheart deal as one of his "potential co-conspirators" who were never charged. Kellen claims that she was an Epstein & Maxwell victim.   My take on why Kellen should tell the truth about everyone & everything. youtu.be/9YYoa8_9iyw?...

No-one gives a damn, but this is a testament to our complete moral collapse on this issue.

The neverending story of Nigel, his house and money: 💩Said he bought his Clacton house himself 💩Then said he didn't need to do constituency work because security services told him not to 💩Then claimed his partner bought the house

EXCL: Andy Burnham is backing Shabana Mahmood’s controversial changes to immigration system, allies have said, in blow to those in Labour who would soften them. GM mayor is understood to be keen to reframe changes - but is supportive of home sec’s attempts to limit legal & illegal migration.

Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar is opening Viktor Orban’s offices to the public to dismantle the symbols of his predecessor’s rule

"We don't demand loyalty to the president, we demand loyalty to the principles of our party, and of course those principles are that Donald Trump is our king and savior who can do no wrong."

The Epstein Files got the Museum of Ice Cream treatment.

Writing about media stunts is weird bc on the one hand, yes, you won, I am here to generate the headline you wanted, well played. But also, I would like a stunt involving extensive documentary evidence of organized misogyny to have something more to say than TRUMP BAD

It's been a busy week in the US! Beyond the big news moments, here are some things you should be aware of: - Republican gerrymandering - So many attacks on opponents - Aggression in Latin America - Corruption (again!) - Undermining science & health youtu.be/mZ6dp_PFjkM subtitles available

Some years ago, I remember an exchange on TwiX (as was) with a number of climate journalists where one felt that climate denial was firmly in the past. A couple of weeks later a sustained campaign began on UK rightwing media and it hasn't let up since. Politicians have backed off action.

"The apparent inconsistency in Reform’s explanation adds to questions about Farage’s transparency over the purpose of the £5mn gift, which Harborne gave to him about two months before Farage announced that he would stand to be MP for Clacton at the 2024 general election." www.ft.com/content/88ce...

Probably no need to keep prompting for Your Party

Lots of whacky stuff Trump is trying to do, painting the Reflecting Pool blue, the Arch, the christian nationalist event Sunday, relate to the 250th anniversary. So it's great to have historians like @hcrichardson.bsky.social covering it. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/may-17-2026

Now sanctimonious Vance is going to run around the country preaching to us about “fraud” investigations while Trump pardons the worst convicted fraudsters in America leaving victims with no restitution, and they force taxpayers to pay $1.7 billion to J6 criminals & MAGA henchmen.

❤️‍🩹The reunion of two loyal friends after a long separation – a Ukrainian soldier and his dog. First, the dog seemed to scold him for being away so long. Then it started hugging him. I’m not crying. Something just got in my eye.

This should be the headline story on every news publication and telecast including local news every day for several days. But it won’t. It will be shrugged off like so much else by so much of media. The most corrupt thing that has ever come out of the US govt.

AP:  DOJ announces $1.7B fund to compensate Trump allies in deal to drop IRS suit The Trump administration said Monday that it is creating a $1.7 billion fund to compensate prosecuted allies of the Republican president after he moved to drop his lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service.

Looks like potential insider trading to us. Does this look like insider trading to you? Over 3,600 stock trades by Trump since Jan. Absolutely unprecedented. This will be investigated.
