“Didn’t these AI chuds think about use permission???” I think they did. I think they were like:

Snotting Hill

Dear God, this is a poor football match

Nice to see the government finally pushing back on the genocidal actions of the Netanyahu regime. It's long overdue.

Next Sunday: Liverpool v Crystal Palace To decide the unofficial Super Champions of England!

Spoilers!

Colin from Portsmouth on Starmer's nothing like rivers of blood speech.

They sent a cardboard cutout?

The minimum wage was the Blair government's most significant (positive) policy achievement. I would not be surprised if the Starmer government partially or completely dismantles it.

Here's Gary Stevenson calling for a return to the 1970s, when the top rate of tax was 98%. But did the rich ever pay it? We spoke to 1970s tax dodgers and ex-HMRC staff & and crunched the data. A 🧵, but here's a spoiler: the rich pay more tax *now*.

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation" Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

1. Trump is holding a contest to see who can pay him the most money. The winners get a private reception with Trump and a VIP a tour of the White House. So far, many of the leaders appear to be foreign nationals.

I wasn't going to speak about this. But I changed my mind. This week I've been managing personal harassment on X. And I don't even use the platform. This harassment was then amplified by the Daily Mail. Let's talk about it... /1 🧵

Anita Dobson in #doctorwho is essentially this guy:

Simply add a swear word and the AI slop doesn't come up 👍

This dude's a playa!

IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!! 🤣🤣🤣 The IEA is denying that they ever backed Brexit!!! Me vs Reem Ibrahim on BBC5Live The Institute of Economic Affairs can see the public has turned against Brexit so much that they're re-writing history to avoid the blame!

'Professional failures' a nice euphemism for war crimes. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I don't care much for Easter beyond the bunny, baskets and treats. It's a day when people loudly proclaim their Christianity and then, on Monday, go back to hating trans people and anyone else that's vulnerable. Easter makes me sad because Jesus never comes back to deal with those faux-Christians.

"the internet destroyed our politics" sounds like it makes sense until you realize that we've been fighting the same battles since reconstruction. and before. 1

Alito has finally published his dissent from the Supreme Court’s emergency order last night. It’s joined by Thomas, and accuses the majority of violating multiple procedural rules in its race to halt unlawful deportations. Characteristically whiny and aggrieved. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

🧵Is it true that 85% of autistic adults are unemployed? This stat is everywhere: News sites. Blogs. Social media. After RFK Jr.’s recent comments, it’s spreading again. So I went down the rabbit hole to try and find out! Ready to follow me…?🕳️ 1/21

Something I never knew before today: Nando's was founded in apartheid-era South Africa.

I'm gripped by the ever-increasing bling in Trump’s Oval Office. What does it mean? Yes, Trump has bad taste. But also something else. Here’s an art historical view. 🧵 1/
