I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

Trump fucks little girls

I can only give you my take, but: these comments about “the world in which he made that decision”… a world in which politicians and press were happy to pretend they did not know Mandelson had been at the heart of all kinds of ludicrous, very bad shenanigans. That world now being very different.

Who needs Churchill or a bloody beaver on a crisp £5 note?😤 I have been designing some alternatives which I think you’ll agree are infinitely more superior. 👍

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

more civilised countries have been putting cute animals on their banknotes for years without any fuss

I feel like the correct phrase here is not “broken”, so much as it is “embarrassingly exposed as the self-serving and ultimately disastrous horseshit of the British ruling class”.

hmm

Sounds like he’s lonely. It’d be a kindness to start filling prisons with other very wealthy sex offenders.

I think you probably can't understand modern America and recent elections without understanding that: 1. evangelicals have more kids 2. they vote 3. they sincerely believe that all the Jews have to be in the Holy Land in order to trigger a big war & all convert/die so that Jesus will return

I’ve said it before, but People magazine should get a Pulitzer for its coverage of this administration.

Whose global Utopia? The news that the party is over and things are going to get especially miserable is IMO going to come as a major surprise for millions of people who did not get invites to the festivities in the first place.

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

If you’re reading this and you’re scared, that’s understandable. And I can’t tell you that you’ll be able to pass as cis. But just to give you a single data point, I didn’t come out at work until I was 34. You can be alright, and you do have a future. People know what trans people are. It’s fine.

I guess my most Originalist trait is that I think Congress should have more say over war powers than the prime minister of Israel (whose primary objective in life is forever war to avoid losing power and going to prison).

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

Trump: "Finally, we honor one more American soldier, a fallen warria of world. Of wars. And really, terra.”

It could not be more obvious that the president does not care about US service members and in fact regards their deaths as mere political inconveniences. He has more sympathy for Putin than Americans who died because he decided to wage illegal war. Just listen to him.

Do you see how this divides into real people who actually matter, even if they’ve been dead for decades, and lesser people whose lives simply do not matter at all.

Maurice Glasman, founder of Blue Labour - suggesting Iran becomes a monarchy and joins the British Commonwealth alongside Ukraine. And people listening... like this is normal..

Consider: why is America, a country in North America, attacking Iran on the other side of the world? What right does the US have to bomb and attempt to destroy any country, anywhere on Earth? It has no right to do so. It’s doing it because it is governed by criminals.

This is fucking dirty behaviour from the US. I’m so ashamed to be in a allied country with its bases.

WAR CRIME BY THE US. An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US. The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship. THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown. This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.

Perfectly put by the brilliant @iandunt.bsky.social

So apparently the Iranian frigate was unarmed per requirements of the Milan 2026 naval exercises, and we knew the ship was unarmed and defenseless. I really cannot understand the decision to fire on her accept as performative sadism. www.middleeasteye.net/news/iranian...

Tax exiles stuck in London desperately trying to get *back* to Dubai to avoid becoming tax resident in the UK? Just great stuff. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Have to have Dorothy Dunnett here. She was so extraordinarily good. This begins her Lymond Chronicles. She was someone I knew, later, was so gracious to someone so much younger, before I’d written anything. Plus her husband Alastair taught me to put a little water in my whisky. #worldbookday

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump: "Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

China?

I can’t wait to see the look on this dickless buffoon’s face when all this shit is being read back to him in The Hague. What do we think his excuse will be? “Donny made me do it” or “I was so drunk I don’t remember any of this”?

Hegseth: "We are only four days into this and the results have been incredible." - Middle East engulfed in regional war - 11 countries attacked by Iran - Oil & gas prices skyrocketing - Strait of Hormuz now a conflict zone - Terrorism threat raised across the world - No sign of Iran regime collapse

Seems to me like a real good time to have a think about how happy we are setting half the planet on fire, just so that Israel’s genocidal, expansionist, fascist government can seize, depopulate, bulldoze and settle even more territory from its neighbours, without facing effective resistance.

Someone just asked for the Stephen King book about the scary clown but they couldn't remember the name of It.

The Guardian is promoting a commercial enterprise the profits from which will be used to harass, exclude and victimise one of the most vulnerable groups in the country.
