Apparently the Pope is 'critical'. I should fucking think so, the world's in a terrible state.

Wait until prominent opponents of this horrific regime start vanishing or dying under strange circumstances. That's coming too.

Here's what I don't get on a fundamental level with these cheesedicks. The Nazis were fucking LOSERS. Just through and through to their core, a bunch of gutless simps who ended up getting their asses kicked and remembered as history's greatest villains. We will kick the dogshit out of them again.

"And you thought *I* was a batshit lunatic!"

I used to think Trump would have stayed out of the Second World War if he'd been President. But I suppose we now know he'd have joined the Axis.

"Politicization of the military, bringing the military into politics and bringing politics in to the military, is bad for military effectiveness, it is bad for democracy, and we are now here, deep in the middle of it" [email protected], with appropriate alarm about the Trump military purges

I was going to make a gag about Conclave, but it would have given away the ending of the film, so if you could just assume it was a really funny post, and go about your day, that'd be grand. Cheers.

I remember thinking some things were really important, when they turned out not to be. Like quicksand, the Bermuda Triangle, and the US constitution

I'm not wild about this new cover of The Pogues' "The Old Main Drag"

Amazing. Ukraine resisted a Russian takeover for three years. The United States didn't last a month.

No fucking State Visit for you, sunshine

What a disgrace

Oh

Suggestion: a reputable agency to verify which of the thousands of allegedly Gaza/Ukraine/etc Bluesky posters with paypals and gofundmes are actually genuine, and which are just grifters

"He is a very weak-minded fellow I am afraid, and, like the feather pillow, bears the marks of the last person who has sat on him." Douglas Haig, 1918, of the Earl of Derby

How to present Ukraine in terms that Trump could understand? It's like Mexico invaded Texas, raping and torturing, and now everyone is telling the US they should give it up for peace and replace Trump as president. After all, it's Texas's fault for not negotiating.

Well, she had a bit of a silly laugh, so, y'know, dodged a bullet there

If he wants to live in a country led by Putin, I have a brilliant suggestion.

Umm

I haven't been following this story - is it about the loos at Pease Pottage Services?

For keen collectors of these things, on #BBCR4Today a moment ago we had: "The Government is going to grasp the nettle by the horns." Thanks are due to Charlotte Brumpton-Childs, GMB Union National Officer

Age yourself with the first computer you used. This was the first one I owned, the Sharp MZ-80K, around 1978-79. I don't remember if I used anything before that.

I miss watching The West Wing, when the most serious problem in government was a mild disagreement over education spending, or that three marines had been temporarily captured by a rogue state.

A film will be made about this like the Blood In The Water match
