“I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Christmas than by avenging the death of Christians through the justified mass killing of Islamic terrorists,” the far-right political activist Laura Loomer posted on X. “You’ve got to love it! Death to all Islamic terrorists! Thank you.” Jesus wept.

“There is no other industry, that acts with such arrogance, indifference and a lack of humility and sociopathic greed at the expense of people." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

That one rich bloke, who doesn't even live in the fucking country, can be allowed to 'donate' £9m to any party is fundamentally anti-democratic. That's about buying elections. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Trump in the Epstein files is like a spot the ball competition, except that it was obvious where the ball was all the time.

Americans like to keep things at a distance in their warmongering, don't they? Maybe it's because they're really bad at the up-close stuff. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump clearly telling us he's guilty as sin while loudly proclaiming his innocence. "A guilty conscience needs to confess. A work of art is a confession." - Albert Camus.

Trump murdering people in Africa on Christmas day, on a pretext of protecting Christians from persecution, has finally broken my irony meter for good. Trouble is, I'll now have to wait until next Christmas for Santa to bring me a new one. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

America is back as the world's bully. Yet its violent and petulant swagger is a blustering and ultimately futile response to its waning influence and power rather than a show of confidence. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Lenny from 'Of Mice and Men', anyone? Boo Radley? Sherlock Holmes. . . ? There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Trump was going to keep America out of conflicts, I thought. Instead he's engaging in 19th century, imperialist gunboat diplomacy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"... and Tiny Tim, who took the corner too fast, given the icy conditions, flipping his Vauxhall Astra over repeatedly, was wearing a seatbelt and so did NOT die ..." The ending, there, of Dickens's A CHRISTMAS CAR ROLL.

@bsky.app This is what my Discover feed looks like at the moment:

Is it just me, or is the @bsky.app Discover feed not working?

Peace on earth and goodwill to all men. FFS, people, how about we try to get on with each other next year? Let's see what NOT killing Jews and Palestinians and Venezuelans and political opponents looks like for a change. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Our society needs to get over its love affair with psychopaths. We keep normalising, nurturing, elevating and electing them, to our own detriment. We need to start seeing them for what they are - immensely damaged individuals who will damage others. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Like Savile, Russell Brand was always one of those people who was obviously a "wrong'un" to anyone with an ounce common sense. Like Savile, he was encouraged and enabled by the cynical, male-dominated world of broadcasting. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Gotta say, as a survivor, I’m not super loving this thing where the Department of Justice is running a cover-up of evidence the President sexually abused minors.

"For far too long, ideologues in Europe have spearheaded organized efforts to force American platforms to punish American viewpoints that don't suit them," - Rubio. Translation: "America should be able to do whatever the fuck it likes, as usual." www.tagesschau.de/ausland/amer...

“Clinton is in the Epstein files!” Great. Next time I come across a Clinton rally, someone wearing a Clinton hat, or flying a Clinton flag on their truck, I’ll be sure to let them know. The rest of us want them ALL held accountable because we aren’t in a cult. Hope that helps.

Imagine if Trump knows that the Epstein files will screw him, and he's just been eking it out for weeks, but he knows that he'll be destroyed by it.

Let's be frank, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor/aka the Paedophile formerly known as Prince, should be in prison. I give it 12 months. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

It's not "we've listened", it's "we've given in". I don't see why the already favourable inheritance tax rules for farmers should be made even more favourable. #wato

The Cracker Barrel thing was THIS YEAR. We have three more years of this shit. Anybody who makes it to 2028 without looking like Nosferatu will be required by the state to start a skincare brand.

I've often made the argument for 'situated leadership', ie that organisations are best led by people who deeply understand what they do. Too many organisations are now run by people with little or no understanding of their core product or purpose, which means they make bad decisions.

That sounds completely secure. . . 🤦

She hopes to be released from prison one day.

I understand that the first of the Trump Class warships will be the USS Narcissistic Asshole. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

No wonder the resident Trump propagandist at CBS didn't want us to see this. It is horrific and shows how deeply lawless and depraved the Trump/Miller administration is.

America's sole purpose is now to feed one man's insatiable vanity.

I assume the 'Trump Class' warships will fart their way through the water. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The UK seems to have its own Gisèle Pelicot-style case. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The internet and social media will kill us all - I just wasn't expecting it to be via strangulation. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

This is a ridiculous post. America under Trump is nothing like the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union had universal healthcare, for a start.

Every day and in every way the USA becomes more like North Korea.

That's American Democrats for you: all talk and no action.

I remain to be convinced that harassing women is the best way forward for the trans and gender rights movement. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

"These comments by the new Labour-appointed human rights chief are a disgrace. Once again, the left tries paint those opposed to mass immigration and illegal immigration as racist," said Chris Philp, demonstrating that he's a racist. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
