Gold broadcasting but once again, how does this man get by on a daily basis? www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_Ly...

This is a widely inaccurate & dangerous mischaracterization. The vaccine was developed in fetal cells obtained from two elective abortions in the early 1960s. There is not abortion debris floating around in the vaccine. And the Vatican has okayed its use. RFK Jr. is again spreading disinformation.

We will have @privateeyenews.bsky.social and @theonion.com leading the way with the sort of 'world sore from laughing/crying' and 'for the love of god, the man is naked' headlines. Then the UK press might just follow in as the global economy tanks. Could we just speed the process up please?

Three Northern Line artists up for awards tonight @jazznorth.bsky.social

Who would have thunk it

Imagine President Harris taking $10 trillion out of the global stock markets in the first 80 days of her residency what the Fox News people would be doing right now!!!!

Very bold soft reboot right there

"Paying musicians as much as I can has always been a big aim for me and the New Northern bursary has allowed me to guarantee a fee to the musicians who perform at my events!" We spoke to the Leeds-based promoter Anna Ross who runs Offshoots. www.jazznorth.org/news/new-nor...

🚨 New entry into the Kemi Badenoch does not do her homework canon: Adolescence's creators have denied the series is based on true events, contradicting a theory doing the rounds on X that suggested the main character was “race swapped” Badenoch tells LBC the story was “fundamentally changed”

Brilliant

Grand Moff Tarkin cosplay.

So nice, you have to read it twice. Ghost Stories Of An Antiquary by M.R. James is the subject of the Quietus podcast this month, taking in the Staplehurst Rail Disaster of 1865; no-holds-barred ragging 🤔; religion, modernism & golf with @luketurner.bsky.social thequietus.com/subscriber-a...

There has been a last minute reach around from Trump to save Tesla but by gum Musk has really done his investors over on this business over those more space and internet orientated.

It's so sad that we listen to various leaders and commentators in Canada and remember that you can be economically OK and still be the Good Guys

Fantastic artist and a brilliant organisation

This week’s front cover of German news magazine, Focus. “The brotherly kiss”

Enjoy your nightmares, people.

Tune in to hear the latest about the "befuddled toxic wotsit and his chinless nazi carebear"

Zelenskyy: “I need help to protect my people.” Trump: “Well, you should have thought of that before you got invaded…” Full version here: youtu.be/Jk0nUUqG_Ag?...

Jesus, the Boris stance on Ukraine is such a brilliant example of how utterly fradulent his previous support was. Grifter.

Trump has always been very close to WWF/WWE. America is following the classic plot twist of babyface turning heel.

The world is awful enough at the moment but why did it have to add cancelling Scavengers Reign on top of everything?

All three are Northern Line artists!

"It is time to weaponize empathy and truth the way our enemies have weaponized disinformation and apathy, not with violence or deceit, but with relentless organizing, storytelling, and refusal to cede reality to the liars and tyrants."

Every single time they try to pull shit like this they always just get caught mixing up words or not knowing what a word means. The dumbest bigots alive

I agree with Donald Trump that an unelected bureaucrat should be fired. Let’s start with Elon Musk.

Hahahah---- Oh.

No one on the left or right wants to give Starmer credit for it. But there was real skill and self-restraint in that performance. Everyone who’s had to deal with a powerful idiot will recognise it.

Great to get another Hansard mention! Thanks Max, great speech.

This is impacting a major part of the Merseyside music scene and more besides.

Free and lovely resource for you right here.

The most confused speech from an opposition leader in years. "The world is changing and the UK is not ready", says party that was in charge from 2010 until a few months ago. In a "world of the strong and the weak we must not be weak", so let's abandon "internationalism". Isolationism IS weak. ~AA

"Day after day, blatantly dishonest statements and conspiracy theories are propagated – and repeated over and over and over again." Bernie Sanders with an important comment on the state of America...

Sure that pig reference is not meant to bring back memories from a previous administration
