@timminchin.bsky.social Amazing show tonight at the fd arena. Thank you

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

@daraobriain.bsky.social Fabulous show tonight! Thank you from a Mum and 20 something son🤣

Best image of the day:

youtu.be/jhBaJpzAR2k?... Yes! Drown their ugly voices out! Fabulous!

Nigel Farage has told ITV News the first thing he would do as prime minister if he won a general election would be to remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights That alone is good reason never to vote for Reform UK. THIS IS WHY youtu.be/MdiDDJrQUJA?...

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

"[UK is] currently negotiating a partial reset of the trade deal with the EU. Every shift towards Brussels is wildly denounced by Brexiters. Starmer must not let specious arguments distort government thinking on the UK’s larger economic priorities." ~AA www.ft.com/content/dc23...

Every so often we need a reminder like this that words have actual meanings

To insult two highly respected and free thinking politicians like this is disgraceful. It just shows how far standards in society have fallen. Anyone reposting this insulting photograph should feel utterly ashamed. 😡

NEW: Multiple reports of Russian missiles pouring into Ukraine tonight, targeting civilians. The US has shut off the intelligence Ukraine needs to protect itself. This hotel in the southern city of Kryvyi Rih took a direct hit. Trump has the blood on his hands of every Ukrainian casualty tonight.

Jesse Watters seems to be a bit of a Herbert

In 2014, when the Ukrainians saw their government move towards Russia against their wishes, they came out to the streets. The Revolution of Dignity, or Maidan, saw the people protest against a tyrannical state. Where are you, America?

Yup.

The Art of the Deal - a big fat MAGA wank. youtu.be/Jk0nUUqG_Ag?...

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Please share this as widely as possible!

What utterly lovely people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This should be changed asap. If we give someone refugee status, it can't be right to then refuse them route to become a British Citizen. To say they can have a home in our country, but never a place in our society and be forever second class. freemovement.org.uk/good-charact...

I would pay money to be a fly on the Oval Office wall when Trump sees this

"Let me put it in words you might understand. Mr. Trump, fuck off."

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

Oh American 🇺🇸! Whatever have you done?

Morning all! I've started a new Substack where I'll be publishing all the exciting world exclusive content that seems to land in my lap. First up, this week's Letter From London in the Papua New Guinea Courier - open.substack.com/pub/mrhenrym...

The Daily Star showing the supposedly more serious newspapers how best to report on Elon Musk.

I see three distinct phases. Pre-Fox, when opinion was diverse but actual facts were indisputable. Fox/Trump, where objective truth was subjected to the false equivalence of ‘alternative facts’ (ie lies). And now, where media & tech platform owners collude with him to drown out the truth altogether.
