This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

presumably he explained it was another matter for ofcom?

they cunts in masks were playing that bodhran wrong #TheTraitors

For years, self-styled "free speech activists" insisted they didn't have a bigoted, chauvinistic, far-right agenda. Then when Elon Musk bought Twitter saying he'd champion free speech, it turned out what he really meant was "this will become a site that generates Nazi paedo porn." Makes you think.

I think the government should stop billionaires from building robots that make and distribute sexual images of your kids

Note that by "sensible explanation" he means "explanation that doesn't mean I've been wrong about everything for a decade and that doesn't involve me having to listen to anyone who correctly predicted all of this" And so, no, I'm afraid nobody has a "sensible explanation".

Has just occurred to me that if another globe-spanning mega-conflict does kick off, there'll be an entire cycle of discourse, even as the bombs are flying, bickering over whether or not it's appropriate to call it World War III.

not to go all identity politics but I think it’s also because the victims are women

I once tried to solve a deficit in emotion by taking three Es. Worked brilliantly for a short period but not a sustainable strategy

🚨🚨🚨 Israel continues to destroy Palestinian football infrastructure unopposed by FIFA & UEFA. Please read and sign this important petition to help save the football pitch at the Aida refugee camp. More in 🧵 1/5. Read | Share 🙏 secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/...

This, you have to say, is very funny

if we're being honest with ourselves, even to be talking this much about a website called "X" and its feature called "Grok" is already highly undignified, let alone... permitting it to artificially manufacture indecent images of children

astonishing how state organisations can just throw people in a cell for having ‘plasticine action’ tshirts but when their pet billionaire is generating nude images of your kids it’s uh yeah we’re looking into that

Reuben Amorim arrived at Man Utd saying "the players are shit, the club is an embarrassment, my tactics are entirely unsuited to my squad and we are going to suffer badly for a long time as I will never, ever change" and repeated it every day for 14 months until he was sacked x

Will never understand people who sit through football matches with their phones trained on the opposition's fans so they can record "limbs" when their own team concedes

insanely long list impossible to quantify

Sitting on the fence and appealing to both sides is a hallmark of the Labour right, but it has honestly never occurred to me what happens when one of the points of triangulation and appeasement is "paedos"

As European leaders are about to discover, one problem with willfully trashing even the facade of a "rules-based international order" as you facilitate a genocide that you profit from, is you will no-longer have the same facade to appeal to when it's your own back against the wall

What is stopping Trump annexing Greenland? Because it seems like European leaders want the answer to be "adherence to long-standing norms and the perception of decency" and, well

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

Actually mad how Twitter is the place the elected head of the British government goes to publish insipid statements on historic global events and acts of war. Declarations of state made exclusively on the "grok make her naked" app

posting my serious grown up forensic adult political statement on the free CSAM generator app

I have re-iterated my support for bogwashing Keir Starmer

so far have not been convinced to abandon my theory that the Traitors is actually a long game study into learned racism and subconscious racial bias in individuals, society, and in the dynamics of community groupthink in Britain

you can tell ai tech guys have no appreciation of art and culture cos in spite of every cautionary tale in all of literature and science fiction they're like "no, no, I can't be morally implicated in the heinous crimes of this robot, silly, I am merely its egomaniacal creator"

If I was on the Traitors my strategy would be to batter fuck out everyone

there is surely no way a professional opinions-haver can fail to comprehend what these words mean lol

have it on good authority from a friend "in the biz" that the Secret Traitor is Mr Blobby

They're singing Bread & Roses at a mayoral inaugration and it feels legit to be doing so. We are being absolutely schooled by the Americans in this moment. Undignified, frankly

Up the Hibs, up Junior Hoilett and Jamie McGrath, fuck the Aberdeen and fuck Kevin Nisbet!

At the stage of post-Christmas where I definitely need to start self-imposing Rules again. Just ate half a bag of Haribo, now moving on to Bombay mix. I should be brushing my teeth and going to bed. There's a packet of mince pies sitting there though.

As a married father of two young children, I'm pretty sure I won't be seeing too much of PENIS, FRIENDS or TRAVEL, but who can say. Check back in 12 months and I'll let you know.

Can feel the backlash brewing against the Sunshine on Leith "greatest anthem in football" chat. I give it 3 more social media outings before we hit a tipping point of folk claiming it's shite. Someone will lobby intensely for I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles. We'll see hit pieces on the Proclaimers.

But Ramsay also knew that to tell the truth onstage mattered, and that it required courage, and that courage would need buffeted by self-belief. "Fuck the critics", she wrote to a young David Hare, "Are you really going to allow this grey shabby lot to break your spirit and your confidence?"

I like this for its insistence on humility. Untempered self-regard can be a deadly poison to the work of a writer. Peggy Ramsay knew this when she'd admonish her clients for taking taxis around London rather than getting on the bus.

The Guardian's "Dining Across The Divide" series currently has a documentary film producer who voted for Starmer's Labour meeting a documentary film producer who votes Lib Dem

Lost - my grey jacket, Hibs scarf and green hat as seen in this picture. I’m pretty sure somebody accidentally picked up my jacket in Bongo Club last night. If anyone happens to have it or my scarf I’d really appreciate any help returning them. The scarf is more than 20 years old 😞

“Nobody asked you to be writer, and nobody will notice if you stop.”

Ruining the festive fun of Hearts fans and the entire Scottish sports media, a great laugh, thanks for playing x

I've not watched new Stranger Things but whether you have or haven't this is a good thread on TV writing in the streaming era

Watched Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein last night and it's visually gorgeous but he makes some story / character decisions towards the end of the movie which absolutely suck imo

So sorry to hear of the death of The Cure's Perry Bamonte, a former guitar tech who stepped up to become a full member for 15 years, an invaluable Swiss Army knife multi-instrumentalist. Every fan loved seeing him back on board for the Lost World tour. R.I.P. 'Teddy'. Love to his family & friends. x

A review once called me "ten-a-penny student liberal type, Kieran Hurley" and I was fuming lol
