I always forget that Liz Truss gets the lay a wreath on Remembrance Sunday. A jump scare every year.

When my Great, Great Uncle died in 1917 (the second son to die at the front in WW1) his mother wrote this in a local Derry paper #RemembranceSunday

It’s too late baby, now it’s too late. When I was a kid, it was a sombre and dignified reflection on us getting hundreds of thousands of guys killed in an insane war. Now, the Sensible Moderates have turned it into War Christmas to boost their crackpot politics, and there’s no going back.

The DFM says there's a clash with Poppy Day, which is fair enough imo, but could they not send someone on her behalf?

90 percent of parenting is searching for the toy your child wants while they destroy your living room playing with different toys

90% of the anti-Mamdani remarks today think this is a documentary:

dawg they’re live laugh loving the white house. president homegoods

It's also hilarious when you remember that democratic socialists in the DNC would be mid in Europe.

This person took this when they called the race

Huge wins for the Democrats in state elections across the US last night. Chaotic authoritarianism is not popular.

Waking up to discover that Mamdani won and Republicans also got their asses kicked in Virginia and New Jersey??

Still waiting for the live cam of all the billionnaires packing up their NYC apartments to move to Ohio

everybody transgender

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

every week trump admin pulls out some new freak and is like "Here's Charles Pepperoni hes in charge of the navy now" and then Charles Pepperoni is like "we use virgins' fingernails instead of dollars now"

Also, I made get well soup because I can keep down food now 😊

I'm nervous about Mamdani. Somebody tell me not to be.

Bold of Zohran to murder Dick Cheney as his final campaign stunt

Since tweeting this I have also been struck down with the sickness plague! Nasty, nasty stuff and I had a HG pregnancy.

If objecting to a government minister's decision to visit a country engaging in genocide is enough to collapse the institutions then it will never work.

A trick or treater came to my mum's door with an english accent then came back again with a belfast one and said he had a twin. You gotta play the game to get the loot

Girls are going to go out in that rain tonight wearing heels and a tiny dress and they are braver than the entire Marine Corps.

The right wing nutters who thought Trump was great bants are starting to notice that his mates are chill with neo Nazis. Finally. Nearly a year into the second term. After they backed him to the hilt.

He's going to join the right wing grift and start a podcast isn't he

It's hard to overstate how brave what she did was, at the time she did it. It's also impossible to quantify the number of women's lives her actions saved. It was one brick out of the wall of the theocracy at a time when that wall seemed permanent and unchangeable. RIP May. A feminist icon.

This such a perfect patriotic 🇬🇧 Fleet Street cock-up. It's one thing for a news outlet to be duped by a competent hoaxer. Excruciating, yes, but there's a fairly long history of such fuck ups. But to put out a statement SAYING you'd been hoaxed but you'd actually just emailed the wrong guy?

My partner and I booked Friday off to catch up on chores and go for a nice lunch. After lunch I got a call from the nursery to say wee man had projectile vomited, the sixth kid to vomit that day. By the time we got there two more had puked!

This was organised and attended by the usual characters including those who were harassing the marchers on Saturday. It was arranged on an "invitation only" basis within closed Fbook groups with no public advertising but plenty of "teehee if you know, you know". belfastmedia.com/sinn-fein-co...

Everyone has got The Big Cold, right? People are dropping like flies.

Like a moth to a large flame. Fellforitagain.jpeg.

Agreed. Some people are WAY too certain that losers saying "fuck that Prod" weren't being bigots and we had to consider the broader context. Like, we're (rightly) told to be hyper aware of dogwhistles and bad-faith rhetorical questions. But not when it comes to Protestants.

I don't think anybody is buying the argument that sectarianism didn't play a part in the Presidential election. I think Humphreys would have lost without this element anyway, but it was there.

Public housing posters, 1930s

Alliance gained votes when it captured the mood of the middle ground with Brexit, the Assembly collapsing etc. Now the Assembly is back it needs to define itself again. The public are pissed at the Executive.

In a grim way, it's quite funny that Labour created fiscal rules that mean they have to repeatedly punch themselves in the face

This is the evidence given by Joseph Mahon at the trial of Soldier F who wa found not guilty today. He was 16 when he was shot on Bloody Sunday, read it and digest the reality of British Justice when the victims aren’t classed as fully human

The leader of the DUP posted a picture of the parachute regiment emblem, in case anybody is wondering

I don't know why anyone thinks this is a good day for the armed forces when the judge said this:

One of those Soldier F was accused of killing was William McKinney, 26. His brother, Mickey, says he does not blame the judge for today's verdicts "The blame lies firmly with the British state, with the RUC who failed to investigate the murders on Bloody Sunday properly or indeed at all," he says.

A reminder of who soldier F is. Michael Mansfield’s autobiography has his full examination of him at the Saville enquiry.

The court states that it was "constrained" by the evidence before it. It took 50 years to get here. Some who witnessed the shootings are now dead. One of the soldiers who was there is dead and another refused to give evidence (because of self incrimination).

Devastated for the Bloody Sunday families

Judgment due soon in the case of Soldier F, accused of murder during Blood Sunday in Derry in 1972

You don’t want to protect our women. You want to hammer brown people. All that matters is that the young girl gets the help she needs and that justice is done. Go home. Be grateful that you have a home to go back to.

The worst people you know are trying to decide which rapes are "avoidable"

She's what

I went to the Louvre once and enjoyed it but honestly if I was there and a bunch of French investigators rushed in and said “Sacre bleu! there has been a heist!” I would have had a much better time and would have given it five stars on everything
