Just watched the end of the most insane T20 game I've ever seen between SA and Afghanistan. Went to two super overs. Afghanistan needed 24 off four balls in the second one, then hit three sixes but lost it on the final ball.

I see the country's greatest patriot is hard at work again, note I did not specify which country

One of the maddest elements of Brexit - and there are *many* - is the rewards that continue to be lavished on the blithering idiots who sold it & continue to be proved wrong about everything every day…

Tottenham Hotspur have sacked head coach Thomas Frank. More from @david-ornstein.bsky.social

Ofcom’s founding director of standards has said he is “astounded” by the regulator’s decision not to investigate complaints about a GB News interview with Donald Trump, where he claimed unchallenged that human-induced climate change is “a hoax” (he was lavished with praise by GB News). Via Guardian

It’s the 247th anniversary of Admiral Augustus Keppel being acquitted at a court martial, the natural outcome of which obviously was... yes, that’s right: the Honourable Charles James Fox, Member of Parliament for Westminster, got shitfaced and smashed windows in the Admiralty 🧵

We have come full circle, people.

Testing nukes, attacking Mexico, or an ICE rampage. All possible and very much a reflection of Yankland today.

It’s Leslie Nielsen’s birthday & this is still the greatest gag in the history of comedy.

Wanted: Regional Director to work for an organisation opposed to home working. The successful applicant will be expected to work from home.

Wow, someone really did not think this through. "I can 'exonerate' you for a price"—made as a public offer—is essentially an acknowledgment that the person being offered the bribe is in fact... ...a criminal who did exactly what they have been accused of.

So the feds ARE NOT considering an mRNA vaccine for the flu, which could save countless lives, but ARE backing research into whether horse dewormer can cure cancer, because the right views vaccines as elite and ivermectin as populist. Cool. kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

Trump sought - and failed - to bring criminal charges against six members of Congress who said things that displeased him. Charles I’s attempt to do similar with five MPs in 1642 preceded a civil war. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/u...

Imagine being presented with these accounts of stark unfairness and insecurity caused by the earned settlement plans and your response being ‘It is a privilege not a right to settle in the UK and it must be earned’ - the Home Secretary needs to go www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

Aaand there you go: Trump’s sudden about-face on the most important Canada-US border crossing came after meeting with the billionaire family that owns the rival bridge. Nice scoop, confirming suspicions of everyone who has followed this file and is familiar with Trump www.nytimes.com/2026/02/10/w...

somehow he managed to piss off both the Turks and the Armenians, truly exceptional political talent on display here

At least it seems that Europe is fine to consider this, leaving the Yanks to fester in their backward mediaeval hellhole and apply leeches instead.

This was completely unnecessary. Sharing this gratuitous punch in the mortality with @marshallexi.bsky.social

This is the march that the Bristol Patriots are presently promoting btw. The guys who 'Bristol anti-racists' want to team up with

Bloody hell, scenes at Leicester v Southampton.

well I'm sure everything is just dandy at those unsupervised camps full of children

Ooof, the boos. That must surely be it for Frank, Spurs are in a relegation scrap now.

1-0 to West Ham, Soucek

He seems nice

This is why we seem insane to other countries. "Police in the town investigated the 23-year-old's death as possible manslaughter but no criminal case was brought against Kris Harrison after a grand jury in Collin County declined to indict him. "

No bill in Texas for filicide cause she was talking shit about Supreme Leader.

And her murdering father wasn't even prosecuted, presumably because of some right to wave guns around like a twat. What an evil bastard.

A man killed his own daughter over an argument about Trump. She asked: “How would you feel if I had been sexually assaulted?” Her father replied that he had two other daughters so it would not upset him that much Then he shot her. There’s something deeply wrong with MAGA.

It is slightly irritating that the Guardian uncritically reports his claim that taxpayers are spending "an ever increasing proportion of our national income on out-of-work benefits” without pointing out that it is, in fact, false.

Lutnick had said, "I decided [in 2005] I will never be in a room with that disgusting person ever again. So I was never in the room with him socially, for business, or even philanthropy. If that guy was there, I wasn't going." He just admitted visiting Epstein's island in 2012:

NEW: Trump is in the unredacted Epstein files "more than a million times," Raskin tells Axios in an interview. www.axios.com/2026/02/10/t...

I think in quite fundamental way the career politician/journalist/think tank nexus doesn’t understand what are quite core everyday experiences of some classes of people. We talk about this all the time wrt working class people but it’s also now true of the professional classes.

Amber Glenn won Olympic gold on Sunday. That same day, she left social media because of death threats. Her offense: she'd told reporters the queer community is going through "a hard time." The headline called it "backlash." www.readtpa.com/p/the-thresh...

The hypocrisy exposed 👀 “When was the last time anyone spotted the Reform UK leader 'at work' in his own constituency of Clacton-on-Sea? According to him, it’s 'a couple of days a week'. Sounds a lot like hybrid working, then.”

Discworld QOTD, from Reaper Man

Jon Stewart on MAGA: "These people... are so triggered by someone singing in Spanish for 20 minutes, they needed to create their own safe-space alternative halftime show"

A year ago, we were on the cusp of turning many cancers into chronic rather than terminal diseases through immunotherapy and mRNA vaccines. Today, we're working through the curative qualities of a magical horse paste instead.
