I may post about beer, food, football, politics and scepticism. Against all gods. Not a real Notts fan, according to Dougie

The Lane under the lights. Tonight is ours, aesthetic Magpies.

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Shocking new piece of sportswashing reported in @privateeyenews: Bahrain has recruited an all-star team of triathletes and called it Bahrain Victorious 13, thus obliterating search mentions of the "Bahrain 13," a group of political prisoners from the Arab Spring.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

This is just one paragraph of the explanation given by the Anglican Catholic Church as to why Alter Mitty was sacked and, in the absence of point by point refutation is shows that he is lying.

losing my mind over this

Former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton tells me on @lbc that Boris Johnson "is putting lipstick with a pig" here- "He [Trump] doesn't have a grand strategy."

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. About how using the shorthand can make it much easier for certain people to come to oppose the concept. Some people don't know what it means and there are plenty who will fill in the knowledge gap and make DEIA something shadowy and scary and oppositional.

I cannot access any of my Mad accounts to congratulate the poster on the best summary of yesterday's game #Notts

Please share this fact sheet on Ukraine with anyone who needs it understandingwar.org/backgrounder...

Hope everyone in the UK remembers what Elon Musk is doing to the US government the next time Domminic Cummings writes a 30,000 word blog post on his plan to replace all the "NPCs" in Whitehall with 19 year old Nazi superforecasters.

You must catch up with this, if you haven’t already. The guy’s actually in FRANCE now. Like a low-speed, divorced, Forrest Gump. He just keeps going.

Elon Musk's pinned tweet right now.

Traore and Edwards called into the dressing room #Notts

Nothing says you’re a good steward of taxpayer money like bricking thousands of EV chargers that were installed at taxpayer expense for no reason other than that you hate EVs

Only Bedeau seems to have woken up for this #Notts

Not sure I'll be coming in here again

I keep seeing DEI being called an ideology when it is not, and the white supremacy that is replacing it not being called an ideology, when it really is. That shit goes back centuries.

Ugh, Piero della Francesca sliding into my DMs again with his unsolicited diptychs.

Park at County Hall? Be aware there is a rowing regatta and the car park is rammed. #Notts

I'm not having Fraser Nelson playing dumb on the rise of racism on the right after years spent printing Murray, Liddle, Taki and Shriver. I literally had a DM row with him years ago where I said this would happen.

The US is now literally a mafia state, demanding protection money from another country with menaces.

Thread about the long tail for fraud and why football clubs need to take due diligence more seriously. Sometime in January, the website of TitanCapitalMarkets.com vanished... 1/

Pleading with people to understand exactly this:

Even MAGAmerica isn't stupid enough to be fooled by Altar Mitty's nonsense. An atom of hope.

Yes! I mean look at Marvel films, more than half of their male leads are very obviously on steroids to look the part at considerable risk to their health, and this is family entertainment?

They are deliberately crossing the red lines, in order to make the unacceptable commonplace and, eventually, acceptable again.

As a general comment on pretty much everything right now, here’s Oswald Mosley getting bricked in Manchester as he made a provocative, controversial gesture that was unambiguously a fascist salute because he was a fucking fascist. #fuckfascism

You knew this, subconsciously, but now it's there in black and white #Notts

We can say, without any doubt, that social media conspiracism now rules the world. If that doesn't prompt some serious rethinking about social media and its regulation, I don't know what will.

Evil. Evil is going on

My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

Genuinely couldn't believe this figure until I saw the Financial Times confirm it using Meta's own financial reporting data For THIS $100 billion is genuinely the kind of money you could "do the impossible" with. Crack nuclear fusion. HIV vaccine. Universal flu vaccine And they spent it on this

Note that Bannon and Musk represent opposite sides of the US far right (Traditionalist populism vs technocracy). The fascist salutes aren't coming one faction of the "Conservative" movement, this is now a powerful cross section of its leadership.

Hitler, who I do not support, never would have embraced genocide, which I also do not support, if the Weimar shitlibs hadn't tried so hard to deplatform him. by Glenn Greenwald

The National Science Foundation fired all its experts. The National Science Foundation. Fired. All of its. Experts. And they weren't even told to! The leadership worked toward the Fuhrer and went beyond the cuts demanded of them in anticipation of many, many more firings—up to *half* its staff.
