Why can’t you fast forward live TV? This is unbelievably turgid and repetitive. #TheTraitors

Oh, honey. You've been in there so long, your only friends are mothballs.

A remarkable piece of writing. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Everything sounds more romantic in French.

Feb. 22, 1952: Veterinarians attempt the first skunk de-scenting operation.

So it’s all our fault. Figures. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

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.

When it finally arrives, Miller’s long-awaited comeuppance will be vengeful and mighty. And hopefully painful.

A bit like western Hérault this weekend. ☔️⛈️ Without the bare legs obvs.

Perfect.

For most of history, progress was a flat line. Then everything took off like a rocket. The only question now: does this story end in liftoff... or collapse? A short excerpt from the incredible video The Market Exit made - one of my favorite interviews. Check it out: www.youtube.com/@TheMarketExit

It’s controversial because prioritising workers by nationality would conflict with UK law, risk harming the economy, and raises ethical concerns about fairness and discrimination 🤷‍♂️

Very dark. Very sinister. Very Stephen Miller. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This headline was funnier than the entire revival series of Spitting Image they did a few year back.

‘Keep it under your hat. I’m an FBI agent and for the past six months, I’ve been training traitors.’

Trump’s message to America.

Alan Rickman 🖤✨

A few recent pics from the river, which is still relatively high, but you can see much higher up in the trees and bushes the detritus from recent flooding. Still on red alert for water restrictions though.

Yeah, you voted for it.

Love that he's sat through seven decades of Thanksgiving meals without wondering why they happen.

this is what patriotism looks like

Enjoying while it lasts - the FA Cup in France. French beer and a 1-0 half-time lead for Brighton at Old Trafford.

Something to counter the unrelenting torrent of doom. Had to use ‘panoramic’ to get it all in because my phone is old and rubbish. And had to chuck about 20 other attempts away because the dog kept tugging on the lead.

The new ad campaign for X is nothing if not honest...

I can't believe J.D. Vance went on TV and said "Ich bin Evil! Ich bin Evil!!! Ich bin der Evil kleine Chocolate Boy!!" with chocolate smeared all over his mouth and lederhosen. But he did. And we all saw it

Some important new government policy that Native Americans might be interested in:

Do not back down and do not stop filming ICE.

BBC Verify has a slow motion breakdown of the video which shows very clearly the truth.

I saw this in southern France this morning, 08.01.26. Renee Nicole Good RIP and blessings on your son, your wife and everyone who loved you.

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

You missed a bit, you dumb fake..., sorry... ya dumb fuck.

Sublime.

Not crazy to say there was a much clearer criminal case against MBS, who ordered the murder of an American newspaper columnist, than there is against Maduro.

For many of those seeking asylum a mobile phone isn't just a lifeline to keep in contact with loved ones, it's an essential resource in accessing information and resources. State mandated theft is another example of Labour's dehumanisation of people seeking safety www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Why does it seem that so few people understand this? I mean, it’s not like regime change hasn’t been tried - and failed - many times before.

This guy is a fucking legend.

now we find out if the rest of the world does anything to stop a rogue state, run by narcissists, rich kids, attorneys & podcasters, treating anything or anyone they want like a piñata - i imagine Starmer is in a meeting now checking with his advisors on best way to avoid upsetting the Daily Mail

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

A lot of Simon Jenkins’s comments are nonsense. But I do hope he’s right on this one. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
