Thinking about the names of Brazilian football players, like Hulk and Hercules, and how English players should do the same thing. Maybe names like Bangers and Mash.

Even better than dancing about architecture. I love this.

Mike Lee is my senator Mike Lee is a liar who kisses Trump’s flabby, puckered ass in hopes of a seat on the Supreme Court Where he can make some real money

I don't know the what or the why or if it's just me but the number of publishers and editors who don't bother to get back to me even with a simple "Not for us, thanks" is much larger than it should be. This includes people I know, people who follow me here...

When Trump finally dies there will be calls for civility and “respect for the office” from even his harshest critics and I’m telling you right now I plan on saying things so harsh they might knock the earth off its axis

An all trans rugby team has been beaten by an all cis team. So much for being trans gives an unfair advantage #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Breaking the treaties is the oldest con in confederation. Mark Carney decided that going after First Nation rights is top of the agenda for pushing pipelines. People voted for him to be the anti-MAGA MAPLE, not to steal their playbook. My latest. charlieangus.substack.com/p/meanwhile-...

Chief Crowchild showed the world that we are: Angry. Hurt. Betrayed. Enraged at ICE. Determined not to be the 51st state. And we choose: Kindness. Peace. Healing. Understanding. Resolution. Gchi mîkwêc Chief Crowchild, you're a credit to Tsuut’ina Nation Xakujaa-yina and all the people 💜🪶🪶

Thanks to NPR for explaining that due to the ancient, mysterious culture of Persia, Iranians "don't like to be attacked" npr.org/2025/06/16/n...

Keep everybody guessing and in a constant state of panic.

Almost 17 million in the metro area, close to 10 million in the city, so of course this dipshit would suggest an immediate evacuation. Let's not just have a war, let's have a major humanitarian crisis.

Perfect metaphor, really. Crisis happening in the world and the last place Trump wants to be is in a room with other world leaders, collaboratively developing a co-ordinated response.

Some idiots in the comments going on about how this was a useless effort, too polite. No, this is a seething-under-the-surface visit to the woodshed. I dearly hope citizens of Utah, the state where I once lived, are getting on that jackass's back about his horrific behaviour.

Quoting my older son Aidan here: "I think Jagmeet (Singh, former leader of Canada's federal NDP) apologizing for going to a Kendrick show is a pretty good testament to why it didn't work out for him in politics."

Imagine having Winnie the Pooh as your grandfather

✨👏🏾STANDING OVATION👏🏾✨

"May I have your name?" the faerie said. "William," she said with a smile. "Ah ah!" The faerie gave a wicked laugh. "I have your name! Now no-one will call you by it!" "Thank you," she said. "To win it back, you must- what?" "I will find me a new one," she said, "one that suits me better."

Trump Calls Shooting Victims To Rant About Tim Walz

Amusing to read this not long after their ranking by @wildpalmsltd.bsky.social on his weekly #OutOfOrder.

I’m curious where all these ludicrous items are manufactured. Also: WtEverlastingF?

Atractocerus brasiliensis might be the strangest-looking beetle I've ever seen! It's amazing how one little beetle species' life cycle can cause a ship to sink. I am reminded, though, of J.B.S. Haldane's quote that the Creator "had an inordinate fondness for beetles."
