Imagine being lectured by RFK Jr about how to be healthy and then having Mark Zuckerberg tell you how many friends normal people should have

your child will toil valiantly in the factory. it will be masculine. it will restore our national character. it will make america great again. oh my child? my child will run a lucrative rightwing podcast

Dose of reality: Labour = Grafters Reform = Grifters

Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

People who should not risk going to the US: - People of Colour - Women - LGBTQ people - People with tattoos - People with social media accounts - Non-US citizens without diplomatic protection - People with diplomatic protection & electronic devices - People who are not leaders of autocratic regimes

Kids will love it come rain or shine…the rest of us will just be along for the ride….. (sorry).

Not making time to watch the actual programme everyone’s talking about but seemingly having time to absorb a twitter conspiracy about it is the most Kemi Badenoch response I ever heard

It’s only embezzlement if it’s from the Embézzle region of France. Otherwise it’s just sparkling corruption.

Until today I had missed the detail that Nick Clegg made £100M - ONE HUNDRED MILLION POUNDS - working at Facebook. (To put that in context, it's the same figure he pledged in British aid for Syria in 2013.) Good morning, I hate everything again.

On U.K. management skills.

It makes me sad that this man has been a major part of UK pols for far too long. He cloaks his (often) very extreme views by pretending to be friendly and courteous. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

An extraordinary article not least for its quality but also for how achingly tragic it is. I struggle to agree with some of the comments here…anyone who’s spent time touring around the US will be very aware that it is essentially two nations…

Bonkers that Sugar’s early morning call to the candidates comes earlier and earlier in the ‘morning’ every series. It’s ridiculously performative, as if you need to get up at 4am for every task (yeah, yeah they’re catching a flight this time but this every episode!). #Apprentice

An FT reader explains how #tariffs work...

The Ukrainian government has a list of places where you can donate to the war effort here. I personally just donated $100: war.ukraine.ua/donate/ Slava Ukraini.

Yep…..sadly
