Post WW1 Germany fell into Nazism because of hyperinflation and economic chaos, America fell into it because of record low unemployment and folks liking to “do their own research.”

We’ve been humbled.

Whether it’s Joe Biden accepting a presidential salary or Elon Musk restructuring the federal government to benefit his private companies, presidents of both parties have used the office to financially enrich themselves.

Shame on you BBC for cutting and now politicizing David Tennant's Donald Trump-Beetlejuice joke. Embarrassing decision.

Need a new book to read.

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

Saquon Barkley shares his thoughts on Taylor Swift being shown on the jumbotron at the Super Bowl. (via Sirius XM, Howard Stern Show)

Starting to understand how he got people to drink bleach...

That's a bent call.

Musk is rumored to spend $40M on Super Bowl ads with his wildly distorted claims attacking USAID. Don’t believe them. The last round are debunked below. wapo.st/3ErHBZM And I'll unpack the reality in this 🧵, too. 1/13

A couple impressive upsets by the little guy this week, first Newcastle beats Arsenal and now Plymouth topples LFC.

This is excellent analysis from @tim-stillman.bsky.social: “the pursuit of fairness is not about treating everyone and everything exactly the same, but appreciating different contexts and being mindful of deeply entrenched power dynamics.” 💯 arseblog.com/2025/02/fram...

This tendency to call these guys only by their first names — Boris, Elon etc — creates an unseriousness around things that should be treated extremely seriously. Creates a pantomime atmosphere and one of indifference.

Another amazing interview by @pablo.show, the power and reach of the NFL.

🚨 NEW: Myles Lewis-Skelly, English Media and Racism I sat down with @tayo3000.bsky.social to discuss the recent debate. 🖤 Arsenal's connection with black culture 📚 Why English media play an influential role 😡 Lewis-Skelly just one of many examples Have a listen! 🎧 podfollow.com/1737070477

This is why I love Ian Wright, always says the things every other pundit is too cowardly to.

Day made better.

Spot on from @chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Whether it’s Democrats attending Hollywood fundraisers or Republicans handing over the government to the world’s richest man, both parties have gotten too cozy with the wealthy.

In a season that's been largely miserable, that win felt so cathartic. We've been second best to City (and again to Liverpool this season) but what's the point of being a fan if you can't love days like today. We put FIVE past them on our own turf, with two Hale End boys scoring. Beautiful.

MoTD has been set to record. Wine open. The countdown begins.

🤣

@aallensport.arseblog.com we’re waiting

These highlights are insane even for Wemby

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

I just signed the petition "Save The Prince Charles Cinema" and wanted to ask if you could add your name too. This campaign means a lot to many people and the more support we can get behind it, the better chance we have of succeeding. Sign below: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

Anyone having issues downloading DeepSeek in the UK?

MSM outlets running the same PGMOL story this morning, appalled at the abuse refs receive, agree not becoming, but again the MSM are just a PR machine for PGMOL through chummy relationships and old "newspaper tactics", allowing the org to protect mediocrity and emotionally unintelligent men.
