Is it just me or does this unbelievably grotesque image of Agent Orange cosplaying as Jesus actually show him laying his hand on the head of a poorly @jonstewart2028.bsky.social ?

I posted this (borrowed) image a year ago today. And it’s even more relevant now than it was then. Please America, even if you can’t remove Agent Orange, come November you can neuter him so even if you hate the Dems, just vote for them this once. Please 🙏 #dumpTrump

Also, we should rename this the Trump Salute

The really scary thing is that Trump’s Easter Sunday post was from a sober man. And who the hell are these 30-35% who still approve of him? I get that a few tech/oil billionaires are making bank on the back of his madness but there’s aren’t many of them. And I can’t see anyone else benefitting

@restisclassified.bsky.social a shame to hear such jingoism from David McCloskey talking about the Nightstalkers “the best helicopter pilots in the world”. You can say “best pilots in the US military” or “elite pilots” but not ‘the world ’ because how do you know? Don’t become a Hegseth. 🙄

Top piece by Ed Conway on Sky News; the first chart shows the oil price drop (in black) when Trump posted about ‘promising talks’ on 23rd March and the resulting surge in trading (red). The second shows a spike in sales 15 minutes BEFORE Trump’ post. Represents around $580m. Someone’s making bank

🚩 🤷🏻‍♂️

@denkmit.bsky.social it would appear that the home straight is wholly unholey which is nice 😊

@thecrimeagents.bsky.social thank you for addressing my comment re police ‘auditors’; it was a new phrase to me and I hadn’t realised it signified just these troublemakers, assuming it meant all filming of police activity.

So sorry to bring F1 into #MotoGP chat but watching my 2nd F1 race since mid-90s and it’s so weird; like they have a PlayStation cheat codes they can use to fly past the car ahead. And clearly, it’s 90% car, 10% driver. So dull I think I’ll watch another old episode of CSI 🥱

@thecrimeagents.bsky.social re 9th March Q&A ep: I get Andy’s frustration about auditors but there’s a place for filming police activity, though the examples I’m thinking about are mainly in the US; Minnesota, George Floyd are the obvious ones. Like most things, it has its place but can be misused.

I get the feeling Manu is quite happy with that 👏 #Moto2

@xather.bsky.social I just saw your post about Martin’s Navratilova but seem unable to reply - and it seems Sloane Elysbeth has blocked me. Please (if you don’t mind) pass my apology to her and explain that I accept I was far too hasty to respond through my misplaced belief in what she’d said.

I can’t think to whom this best applies….. 🤔 ….. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. MHD

App for boycotting US products tops Danish charts after Trump’s Greenland threats www.independent.co.uk/tech/us-boyc...

Trump is an odious conman, a bully and like most bullies, a coward. He doesn’t deserve to be mentioned alongside these British service men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice after the US invoked NATO’s Article 5. You called, we came willingly. Trump, you’re a disgrace

(This from @allenanalysis.bsky.social over in the ToXic Wasteland formerly known as Twitter.) People in Greenland are wearing these hats and honestly… I’m stealing it. MAGA now officially stands for Make America Go Away. 🇬🇱🧢💀

Dear America, if I understand it correctly a Supreme Court justice can only be removed by impeachment/conviction by both houses of Congress and this has never happened, coming closest in 1804. So why the hell aren’t this SCOTUS showing more spine? Agent Orange can’t touch them, surely?

Agent Orange and his apparent new-found awareness of the power of the US military resembles a man with erectile dysfunction who’s just taken his first dose of Viagra. He just wants to screw EVERYONE 🫣

Well, I just finished watching The West Wing having taken years to get around to starting it. And looking at what reality has served up to us this last year, I so dearly wish that life could imitate art.

I can’t help thinking my wife has been shopping at the Elon Musk Christmas store….. 😳

@nytimes.com report a complaint made against FIFA over the ‘Peace Award’. Not sure if it’ll run but I’m finding it hard not to laugh. Link below, not sure if you need to be a subscriber but since the Post bent the knee to Agent Orange, I find it’s worth it. www.nytimes.com/athletic/687...

@sihbikes.bsky.social just watching the latest What Bike Next; how many religious references did you crowbar into the show? I reckon it was at least seven. And I’ve have chosen your pick. Probably.

@yooperbikemike.bsky.social I surprised myself by pipping you to the post Mike. Roll on next season, eh? It’s definitely going to be the best season ever! 🤓

Trump says the Epstein case is a Democrat hoax. If it really was, wouldn’t they have leaked it BEFORE he won the election?

Does anyone think Marc will run the No 1 plate next year? Maybe he could run 19.3. Or 1.93?

I know they’re not paid F1 or Premier League footballer wages, but you’d think MotoGP riders could afford a decent haircut. I’m looking at you Alex Rins, Pedro Acosta and Miguel Oliviera. #MotoGP

@yooperbikemike.bsky.social Gold riders P1, P3; Silver riders P2, DNF (Mir). Make: Ducati, Team: Gresini. Happy lad 😁

This is a great sprint race…. so far…. 🫣

I’m rooting for Toprak after Mr Bulega got all Italian in the sprint race (to be honest, I’d have been rooting for Toprak anyway) 🇹🇷

Wordle 1,583 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 That’s a first for me…. ☺️

If RFK Jr really believed that we shouldn't trust experts, he should fly around in a plane built by people who did their own research

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve.news We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now. Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

@matoxley.bsky.social in the latest OxBom pod, I think you confused badgers with moles in the answer to @guyanderson.bsky.social question. Other than that, everything was brilliantly fantabulous 😁.

Listening to Don Wildman’s American History Hits series and this is the next episode in line but even before I listen (so maybe prematurely) I can’t help thinking that this topic is a work in progress. 😊 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/a...

The best example I’ve seen for a while of a word salad. I can only assume the writer thought they were being profound…… better luck next time buddy

Most questions seem to be asking why Hegseth is doing this. I think it looks like him proving that he can. Nothing more. It’s the equivalent of a Commanding Officer keeping his regiment on parade while he drinks coffee in his office. Because he can. It makes him look so weak and needy

A 27 year-old song about 90-year old events yet it has a poignant and dystopian relevance to so many events and arenas today. youtu.be/cX8szNPgrEs?...

@yooperbikemike.bsky.social Gold: P1, DNF. Silver P2, P4. Not a bad day. How you go buddy? Me changing Bastianini for Morbidelli is looking very lucky; mainly done because of the VR46 riders’ familiarity with the circuit. 😎

Every single person playing the Fantasy league will have just gone “Ooooff…” #SanMarinoGP

As attempted scams go, I’m pretty disappointed. This lot aren’t even trying. At least make me pause for a few seconds before junking your effort to defraud me. Tossers 🙄

@yooperbikemike.bsky.social I don’t know if you’ve seen the race buddy so no spoilers but my Gold riders were P2, P4 and silver riders were P1, P3. Good picks, wrong places 😂

Listening to Nick Clegg on @newsagents.bsky.social . Yup, he’s still a blustering buffoon. I reckon it took @maitlis.bsky.social two questions to confirm her suspicions. There’s some wheat amongst his assertions but hidden under a mound of chaff. I’m unconvinced it’s worth it. Ain’t buying his book

@motomatters.com @denkmit.bsky.social chaps, as two of the more knowledgeable fellows on here who share my dislike of clickbait ’news’ sites, of which there seem to be a growing number, if I mute their accounts will it mean I no longer see their crap in my feed? Or should I block?

I never thought I’d find a track I disliked more than Valencia but well done Balaton Park, you’ve achieved that dubious honour. This is just awful. This is the MotoGP equivalent if F1’s Monaco but without the prospect of pit stops messing with the order. Worst track I’ve seen for years @motogp.com

@denkmit.bsky.social final post-pod point: I don’t think Pecco will win another title. Brilliant though Gigi is, I think his recent success has been a culmination of many factors, rather like the Stoner/Bridgestone/Preziosi’s Ducati perfect storm. I’d bet in HRC’s 850 being fastest out of the blocks

@denkmit.bsky.social just listening to the latest Race podcast; brilliant summary of MM93 and reminded me of a comment by Paul Gascoigne: asked what went through his mind before a killer pass he said “nothing. I just kick it. If I had to think, everyone else would be in the shower before I decided”

One for @motogpmart.bsky.social - when did we last have three different manufacturers on a Sunday race podium in #MotoGP? (If it was only a few weeks ago please ignore this question and it can quietly drift away 😳)

It looks like #MotoGP #BrnoGP will be wet and cool today, dry, cloudy and cool tomorrow then sunny and warm-hot on Sunday. Quite a challenge for dialling in a set-up.
