"Last year, Microsoft made $101 billion in profits, got a $12.5 billion tax break from Trump & paid its CEO $96 million. This year, it's raising the price of an XBOX by $150 & eliminating 3,200 jobs. Please don't tell me corporate tax breaks create jobs. It never trickles down." - Sen Bernie Sanders

FIFA has banned England defender Jarell Quansah for two matches over his red card against Mexico. I guess we get the Prime Minister, the King, the Lord Mayor of London and Liz Truss to call them up to overturn it. That’s how it works now, right?

drcheryl83 Nigel Farage I’ve just seen Farage referred to as “a coin-operated frog” and felt the need to share 😂

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

How strong is that fan?!?

Around age 25 I judged my dad for getting fat, and my boss at the time for being unambitious. Now as a fat, unambitious 40 year old dad of two I should probably send a pair of apologies.

Looks like TdF is over already, after stage 6.

So, let me get this straight... Trump wants to give Putin Patriot missiles?

If Count Binface and Nigel Farage are the only candidates in the Clacton by-election, do news reports and political shows need to give them equal coverage for fairness and balance?

At NATO, Trump referred to the "Islamic Republic of Japan." He called President Zelensky President Putin. He also intensified the war with Iran by calling the Iranians "scum." If only there were a constitutional mechanism to remove a president unable to discharge the powers & duties of his office.

So basically the BBC just gave Farage free airtime for a party political broadcast

Nigel Farage's press conference is just a whole lot of crying about how he's "the real victim" despite his long, long, long history of publicly dehumanizing minorities and fighting to strip away their civil rights. What a weiner. What a small, pathetic man.

Americans are now so used to their president cheating and breaking rules that many of them seem genuinely not to understand why the world was rooting for Belgium.

Onboard cameras were used to track pigeon eye movements in the field. During flight, the eyes shift outward in a steady way that reduces motion blur, but when landing, the eyes move inward toward the landing spot, improving binocular depth perception! 🧪 www.cell.com/current-biol...

Follow the money… Farage is obsessed with money and self enrichment www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

This all seems very wrong. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Remembering the underrated Stephen Boyd, magnetic Irish actor on his 95th birthday, famous for his roles in THE BEST OF EVERYTHING, BEN-HUR, THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, THE OSCAR, FANTASTIC VOYAGE, JUMBO, and more. He was #BOTD on 7/4/1931 and sadly passed at just 45 on 6/2/1977.

Hey! My first evidence that Charles Dance was, in fact, young at some point! (Feels like this guy has been around, and old, for my entire life 😂)

Has FIFA told us what the final score in Monday’s USA v Belgium game is going to be yet?

If I was in trouble like Nigel Farage, I'd definitely send out someone as universally loved, trusted and respected as Robert Jenrick to help clear my name. Good job.

Air Force Major Jason Watson, 20-year active duty veteran, wore his uniform to the Capitol steps July 1 holding a sign reading "Impeach Convict Remove." He was arrested. His defense fund raised $139,000. Watson: "The greatest threat to our Democratic Republic is not a foreign one. It is domestic."

🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

I think we all know what happened. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Nigel Farage being a wrong 'un who associates with wrong'uns? If only there had been a sign.

Congratulations to the newlyweds! I declined to attend the wedding for a variety of personal reasons, but mainly because I wasn't invited. 💒

Spot the difference

Clark Griswold had a choice. He had a Volvo GLE in the garage but he chose to drive cross country in the Family Truckster. It would have been a very different movie had they gone with the reliable Swedish sedan.

For all those complaining about the upcoming wedding of Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce, remember they are hardworking individuals. They have the freedom to plan their wedding as they see fit. Importantly, they have donated $26 million to New York charities this week. Here’s a list of those charities:

I’m SO proud to call USAF member Jason Watson a friend of mine. He was arrested yesterday for protesting in his uniform against the administration. Bravo sir. #Impeach #Convict #Remove.

Palestinian goalkeeper Salim Al-Ashqar has been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza. He leaves behind his wife of 5 months who is expecting their first child.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce will celebrate their weddi… Who gives a fuck?! Next.

Today, our friend Jay USAF Major Jason Watson read his oath to the Constitution and demanded that Congress do its job to IMPEACH this President and cabinet. He was arrested on the Capitol steps. #DOOR @defendersofourrepublic.org @removalcoalition.bsky.social @citizensimpeachment.com

In an unprecedented act of dissent, active-duty USAF Major Jason Watson was arrested on the Capitol steps after calling for the impeachment & removal of Donald Trump. Risking his career to uphold his constitutional oath, his arrest marks a historic moment. ✊🏻✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾✊🏽

Dodgy shops on your local high street? They're still paying rent. And what if they're actually *pricing out* the legitimate cafes, restaurants, thanks to the option of "simply not paying your taxes" and therefore having more budget to pay landlords. www.londoncentric.media/p/who-wants-...

Some good news: a former refugee from Somalia who made Bristol his home 15 years ago, studied in the U.K. and represents his ward since 2021, pushing for improving local conditions, now fills the ceremonial role of Lord Mayor of Bristol.

Clarence Thomas says the 14th Amendment should be read narrowly because it was written for formerly enslaved people. By that logic, the 2nd Amendment was written for muskets, not AR-15s. Funny how that kind of originalism only shows up when it's convenient.

A different level of corruption and sleaze. USA is dysfunctional and beyond repair. BBC News - Trump made more than $1bn from crypto in first year back in office www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

People who can barely afford food or rent are stuck paying a trillionaires bills. Fuck that.

Never surprised turning on Wimbledon on TV to see a Brit losing. Something very wrong with British tennis.
