This is just setting out the real estate for when they try to turn Gaza into a riviera resort, isn't it?

I might be the only person left in Britain who wouldn't even know how to use ChatGPT. Is it a site or an app? Don't answer that, I don't care. What's wrong with Google, you lazy bastards?

In a just world, he'd have about as much influence as Theresa May, but here we are.

The European Union plans to suspend a trade deal with the United States over Trump’s Greenland tariffs, Bloomberg reports.

What makes this statement by Emmanuel Macron so unprecedented is, for the first time, a leading European ally is equating Trump with Putin. “No intimidation or threat will influence us - neither in Ukraine, nor in Greenland, nor anywhere else in the world.” EVERYTHING has changed.

Hilarious that the paid, professional protestors who fly all over the country to instigate shit are actually right wing lol. Oopsie daisy!

Joint Statement by President von der Leyen and President Costa on Greenland ⬇️

Keir Starmer often takes 2-3 days to issue very mild criticism of US actions. This is both direct and issued fast. I think there is a serious risk that the US miscalculated quite what a big deal the Greenland thing is to Europe (and in Europe).

Like how is this functionally different than saying, well, actually, we need to make Germany a wholly American territory to effectively administer our bases there. And Poland and South Korea and…

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland. They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

"Trump imposed sanctions on all our major European allies because they deployed some forces to Greenland, which he wants to invade" is one of those things that would have been mocked as hysteria, but here we are. I do think "tariffs" unhelpfully normalizes it, too. These are punitive sanctions.

Among the many ridiculous things about this whole affair is that Trump wants Greenland to complete the Golden Dome, which is a huge, expensive missile defence system the USA does not need. Hey America, time for the adults to step up and do something. Playtime is over.

Starmer’s US policy lies in tatters. Trump is now punishing the UK and NATO allies just for doing the right thing. Time for the PM to stand firm against the bully in the White House, and work with European and Commonwealth allies to make him back down from this reckless plan.

Miller’s miscalculation - the logic of a privileged and sheltered brat - is that violence would pull white folks away from black and brown folks, when in fact it’s done the opposite. And now America’s other cities also know how to face him.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

What's the charge: being a fox, a delightful dancing fox?

I’ll say it again: social media destroys reading comprehension. It’s depressing how often seemingly intelligent people misread even short posts. And it’s not down to education because schoolkids do get taught how to interpret tone, context, word choice, etc. It’s brainrot

Long shot but: is there anybody I know (preferably London or surrounding areas) who’s looking to get a cat? Our friends are moving overseas and can’t take theirs with them 😿

When the racist meme becomes national policy

I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

We experienced a truly incredible moment at the aquarium when this octopus decided to be a total jerk to its tankmate.

Fascinating theory of international sovereignty Stephen, but I think I've heard it before and the Great Khan was more charismatic in his delivery.

I left university in 2019 with £49,600 of debt. A few months later, I became an MP and have since received a salary that puts me in the top 5% in the country. 6 years on, the repayments from my salary have brought this total to down to £48,600 - just £1,000 less.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic. The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Pitzhanger Manor, Ealing.

David Lynch passed a year ago today. I hope we all can absorb just a little bit of the energy he put out in his lifetime.

My biggest problem with America right now is that we can't get access to the Criterion Channel in the UK. Fascists! (yes, this is a joke, don't @ me)

Bring back extras, because that's what made physical media so wonderful! Some movies and TV shows are better with the damn commentary than without.

These dancers are a veritable smorgasbord of 90s outfit and hairstyles. Which were probably already out of fashion in 1999. #totp

They blanked out 'arse', really?! Pathetic. #totp

YAAAAAASSSSSS!!!!! #totp

Oh yes, Julie London. Who isn't in bits on the floor by the end of this little gem? www.youtube.com/watch?v=obMJ...

I remember talking to a defender of tuition fees back on Twitter and it genuinely hadn't occurred to him that it was effectively a tax you could buy your way out of if your parents were rich enough.

A big part of why the Right is furious at White women right now is because they're increasingly using their Whiteness as shield and a weapon and it's honestly fucking great.

Just imagine - you’re a cat, with presumably a house, but you ignore that house and come instead to *my* house, and you walk in like you own the place, and come and go as you please and do whatever you like whenever you like. Just imagine how smug you’d be. Pretty smug? Not as smug as this bastard.

Holy shit, that’s just actual theft.

Excellent timing. I have never needed a sheep detective movie in my life as much as I do now.

🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide. He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

I feel I should point out Minnesota is famously the nicest place in America. Everyone is super polite and lovely and talks like in Fargo. You have to work really hard to anger them. This is like someone from Tunbridge Wells having a riot. It's just not done.
