Did she get a memo to dress like a UK apprentice contestant circa 2010?

this really bothers me. I wrote an article when my son had a stroke aged 6* and it was filled with pain, confusion, horror, terror and love. Importantly, it was the truth, it came from my heart. I'm uncomfortable with this as a "sort of" fiction. *my son is great now. Forever grateful to GOSH 💖

I work in procurement and our vendors have been rolling out AI systems and... it has been a disaster. The AI gets everything wrong and I have to navigate a labyrinthian telephone menu to get to a human to fix it. This has big "We'll colonize the moon in 10 years!" Musk energy.

oh this guy - he's so good at this

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

Men's figure skating is made for me: Bowie slim, a bit dramatic, flair, usually a nice razor sharp cheekbone, often very good hair (not you Georgia, just shave it babe). And the there's the occasions when it so soulful you are moved to tears.

Very good from @verybrexitproblems.bsky.social

don't buy a nazi car. Judge the fuck out of those who do. Believe me I am judging you VERY harshly if you have anything newer than a 2022 plate

yep parents are without electricity and there's flooding in the valley. So they have decided to go shopping in their nearest large town which is on a river... and it is still raining. And people say kids won't listen to sense. They are driving me MAD

The far right blames the left for attacking democracy. But the Epstein files tell a very different story. Read more ⤵️ www.opendemocracy.net/en/far-right...

been watching the olympics and i think i found a solution to the male loneliness crisis

blimey Canada's free dance brought tears to my eyes. Proper heart and soup in that dance. Beautiful. Mesmerizing. #WinterOlympics

when will the male free skaters wear very little clothes? I mean is here a point we get to see them skate in their pants and a flimsy scarf?

did any of them tell you to clip the fucking mic on? No?

Lieu plays Bondi the infamous clip of Trump & Epstein partying together & asks her if there were underaged girls at any party the two attended "This is so ridiculous," Bondi says. "There's no evidence that Donald Trump has committed a crime" "I believe you just lied under oath," Lieu replies

every time I get imposters syndrome, I think of this useless, ignorant, venal piece of excrement who is somehow the Attorney General. And I remember that compared to Pam Bondi, I'm an absolute fucking genius. In fact we all are. My dog is, your cat is. the blackbird singing outside def is.

oh god heartbreaking, utterly heartbreaking

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

well, well, well I dread to think what the torture video was. I was just telling someone today that there was a really dark side to Dubai that most people either don't see or are unwilling to see.

excellent if very chilling article. Athletes given hell by the current venal Trump admin and friends for simply being worried.

More than 10,000 Ph.D. scientists were fired by the Trump administration last year. Grant cuts affected more. "A few dozen got jobs in other countries" is not a serious solution. There are not enough jobs in the whole world. The result will be less science, not the same science just elsewhere.

"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.

He’s not wrong.

Oh this is such a depressing read. It’s a great article, but deeply worrying. It’s so had to watch an industry that you love just…die off. It has given me a great career, lots of fun and so many friends. TV is a huge part of our cultural history too. And there are enough fucking podcasts

I’ll never forget Obama’s 2016 Stonewall Natl Monument order where he talked about the uprising as turning point away from an era when LGBT people had to live in fear and secrecy. If lifting up the Monument symbolized an end to living in fear, we know full well what cutting it down is meant to mean.

Thank goodness. I bloody LOVE the Southbank, my favourite area of London. I worked there for years and you can never get bored of the river, the Tate Modern, the little parks and of course, the Southbank Centre. The London Studios should have been listed as well. Ridiculous that it was torn down.

*sniggers*

Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney has gone public with her offer to "clear" Donald Trump in exchange for a pardon. So if Donald gives her one, that would be an admission that she has information about him that could lead to criminal convictions. Stupid of the lawyer to say the quiet part out loud.

Hell yes. You fucking GO girl. Take these bastards down. All the way down.

ahhh yes Nigel Farage. Famous for going into the office every day.

They're actively succeeding in building a state media apparatus akin to what they have in Orban's Hungary and Putin's Russia, but our corporate press is already so broken and captured it's incapable of or unwilling to communicate that to anybody

for the love of fuck, I hate these people

FWIW, I tried to hit the major points, in case anyone wants a quick run-through:

The NHS needs to change their letter sending system. I have had TWO letters about my dermatology appt last week. Both letters came after the appt and both have the wrong time on them. This is the fourth time a letter has arrived some time after an appt. Such a waste of much needed money.

When he ran Labour Together, Cabinet Office minister Josh Simons hired a PR firm to investigate journalists After our revelations, and a flurry of news stories, Simons finally gave his side of the story But it doesn't seem to tally with the facts... 🧵 democracyforsale.substack.com/p/mcsweeney-...

the wonderful @levparikian.bsky.social had this hilariously funny archive clip in his Six Things Newsletter (you should subscribe immediately). I'm always a bit mopey on a Monday and this cheered me right up. Everyone needs to watch it. Everyone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=85AH...

yep yep yep

Lol cos if there actually was an antichrist it would be Peter Thiel

They’re deporting US Army veterans. They say if they’re undocumented, they must go. Such a selfish group of human beings. They consider undocumented immigrants “good enough” to go to war and possibly die for the country, but not good enough to avoid deportation. Ghouls.

HE TOOK HIS OWN FOOD TO ITALY? TO ITALY? TO FUCKING ITALY? This in itself is a prison sentence. The fucking GALL of the botoxed, lip fillered twunt. May he spend the rest of his days eating canned chicken

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

I lots 50% (at least) of my hair last year due to various traumas. One side still looks like I have a fecking undercut except it's just hair loss. I'm going to mug this kid of her (fake) hair.

OMG so the first Italian gold medal went to the wonderful Francesca Lollobridgida for speed skating. As she won, I said to my husband, "what a name! Not heard THAT name since the actress Gina Lollobrigida. And whaddaya know? Gina was Francesca's great aunt.

oh my god the luge.... my favourite madness. 80 miles an hour on ice, on a tea tray, in a leotard. I genuinely love the Winter Olympics more than the summer ones. The wow factor is just 🔥🔥🔥

oh so Trump has always been an evil racist cunt. Always. He's evil to the core. Trump shouldn't ever have been given a TV job, much less become president.

"Eh Tam, what will wi creh this loch?" "I canna be ersed, Eck. E've run out ae ideas. Just creh it Loch Lochy." (obviously Dundonian Loch namers)

this is fabulous, fabulous 😂

Have a read of this. Great scoop, obviously, but it’s also an absolute masterclass in how to report on these jokers. Plenty of London-based hacks could learn a lot from Martin Shipton here. If they actually wanted to… nation.cymru/news/the-new...

It is genuinely insane/deeply disingenuous to be calling for the PM’s resignation while red-carpeting Farage into No10. If you’re serious about calling out abuses of power and the undermining of democracy through political corruption, you investigate and expose all of this 👇 too.
