Once in like 1999 I went into a Gristedes to buy some cereal and milk and when I opened the milk fridge a fucking bat flew out, hit me in the face, and flew up to the ceiling (its home, clearly) and when I told the woman at the front she was like yeah, he gets trapped in there sometimes

This is absolutely reprehensible.

Concerns raised over Telegraph journalist as she completely forgets that Boris Johnson ever existed.

The former chief of HS2 took home £4.5 million of taxpayers’ money while presiding over an “appalling mess” of a project that wasted billions ⬇️

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

“We eat this sand. We have no food. We have no flour. Have mercy on us.” Videos of starving people in Gaza have been all over social media for months. Now on CNN. As Israel blocks aid humanitarian orgs want to facilitate. Hundreds have been shot and killed trying to get aid.

Climate change makes dangerous 32°C days in England 100 times more likely. Scientists warn that extreme heat is an “overlooked threat” in UK, which impacts impacting human health, NHS and economy.

turns out climate change will cost dramatically more than economists predicted, and the cost of addressing it is actually negative. oops! prospect.org/environment/...

"I 𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙩 see an analysis where Britain getting involved would be in our national interest." The PM called a COBRA meeting as Trump teased joining Israel's war on Iran. @maitlis.bsky.social & @lewisgoodall.com ask: If Trump asked for UK support - could Starmer say no to him?

The HPV vaccine is/was on the precipice of eliminating entire classes of cancer. This is what these ghouls want to take from us.

His lies know no bounds.

This is a great piece - anti-prejudice norms matter. Making it career ending to say racist things was a valuable social development. One of Musk’s most insidious effects is corroding this as politicians on the right mistake the voice of DavePatriot789 for the voice of a kingdom.

David Goodhart complains that everyone on Bluesky was mean about his Standard piece on race in London last night. One of his major complaints is people weren’t brave enough to post their criticism of him on Twitter. It’s no fun owning the libs if they’re not there to squeal!

Huge implications from this: Microsoft cut off the email of the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, because of his work on Israel www.nytimes.com/2025/06/20/t...

Hannan is the perfect example of how to fail upwards.

We will be properly honouring ‘Daniel Hannan Day’ on Tuesday with all the requisite pomp, circumstance & documentary evidence of what an irredeemable arse he is that you would expect. Elevating our world’s wrongest man to the House of Lords will always be the essence of Brexit. Do join us…

yes it’s a big mystery why people who think empathy is evil don’t become therapists

Harry Enten: "I think we can say Donald Trump has lost the political battle when it comes to what has happened in Los Angeles. Trump's net approval rating on LA - way, way underwater at -15 points... this is happening on what should be on Donald Trump's best issue ... he's losing on his core issue"

Correct.

World awaits decision on WW3 from senile, former Apprentice host who can’t finish train of thought.

I think the word for this is karma.

What’s a worse lie: The lie from the US that Iran is close to nuclear weapon, which US intel & the IAEA disagree with. Or the lie from the EU that Iran could avoid all this by returning to the negotiating table when they were ALREADY at the negotiating able & heading to Oman when Israel attacked?

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

I wrote about David Goodhart's confused, contradictory complaints about immigrants and London (too skilled and too unskilled, too rich and too poor, all at the same time) in 2013. What's changed? His writing has got worse and his racism has got *much* worse. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v3...

I like when people who voted for a sex-abusing felon talk to me about "illegals."
