“If we had to invent someone to be the ideal woman…we would have to invent Marlene Dietrich.” – Billy Wilder

Since Trump took office, his family has made $2.9 billion in crypto. Again, this is a level of corruption so cartoonish, so obvious & on the surface, that it seems to have stunned everyone to silence.

Looks like the Mirror has caught whatever virus the BBC has got. "Reform swept to victory..."? I don't fucking think so. They have fewer than 700 councillors out of around 17000 in England. Meaning around 4% of seats locally and less than 1% in the Commons. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Everyone in Europe, let's help our sane American friends out. You know what to do 😁

True. Reform have less than 1% of MPs. That's how much media coverage they should get.

Genuinely the stupidest motherfucker in the history of stupid motherfuckers. Aside from the question of how these could be administered and what counts as "produced elsewhere," the inevitable retaliatory tariffs would absolutely kill foreign box office for US studios. www.cnn.com/2025/05/04/m...

Why would you do this!

Farage is always claiming Reform are the "real" opposition. Which is of course bollocks. The real opposition is the second biggest party in parliament. But if Labour don't take last night's warning seriously, Reform may be not just oppostion but government. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Literally, what is she talking about? Is she ok with the kids "buying" Tylenol, Adderol and Xanax, except when it's "laced with fentanyl"? Two of the three are prescription only, so you can't just "buy" them. And as for the 258 million claim...let's not even waste our time on that.... #NorthKorean

Just taking a moment to appreciate how vibrant Tony Scott's Crimson Tide looked.

WTAF is wrong with her? She’s turned into the smouldering lump of evil at the end of Time Bandits. Touch it and you explode.

It would be good if at least some of the energy poured into scrutinising hateful past comments by Irish hiphop groups could be focused on what is currently going on inside the main party currently leading all of the UK opinion polls bylinetimes.com/2025/04/30/r...

Israel has dropped more bombs in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden & Hamburg combined during WWII [𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘯 𝘈𝘧𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘴]. Read that & consider that Gaza is, on average, only 5 miles wide & 25 miles in length. Life expectancy has dropped from 75.5 years in 2023 to 40.6 years now [𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘵]. Genocide.

This flyer has been going out in Kent, and Reform UK there are getting incredibly grumpy about it. They hate being called out with facts. Let’s share it.

I have a feeling Joanne hangs around women's toilets waiting for trans women to arrive in the same way Farage stands waiting to count the dinghies arriving at Dover. All a bit bloody weird imo.

radical idea but it would be quite nice for this government to not support Trump’s corruption

“Ah good, you’re awake. Please don’t bother trying to move. Now, I just have a couple of questions for you. If you answer truthfully, this can all be over quickly, but if I think you’re lying, I will introduce you to my friend Klaus over there, and trust me, you don’t want that.”

22-04-25 Dear The Stupid Labour Party, stop sucking up to Reform voters. Instead of increasing child poverty because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ why not tackle old age affluence instead. Some of us with dwindling incomes are sitting on £££ in property value. Fuck us, not kids. Yours, A STATE PENSIONER

This clip should go viral, don’t you think? Do you part. Share 🙏.

What a vile pair of gowls.

He’s got away with untold crimes, lies & offences. He’s achieved the highest office in the land. Twice. He’s lining his pockets on an industrial scale & persecuting his enemies for fun. But he’s still a miserable, bitter, humourless & furious man. Because deep inside, he knows *exactly* who he is.

What lunchtime in the Oval office looks like these days.

Never forget.

James Parrott‘s hilarious short, THE MUSIC BOX, starring Laurel and Hardy as two guys tying to deliver a player piano, hit theaters #OnThisDay in 1932.

“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽

Top Tip: Can’t afford a 10 min trip to space? Just go to the hardware store, buy a ladder and when you’ve climbed it, act like an asshole.

BOTD: 4/16/21 Peter Ustinov. Actor/writer/director, stage & screen legend. Oscar noms: 51 Quo Vidas 60 Spartacus (win) ❤️ 64 Topkapi (win) 68 Hot Millions (screenplay) Late career resurgence as Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot in multiple films: 1st-DEATH ON THE NILE (1978). Love these! #filmsky 📽

I find ZERO humor about the state of things, but I must admit that the images in this Jimmy Kimmel video made me laugh out loud. Appropriately gross! Trump Eggs.

NEW: Protestor is tasered by police at Marjorie Taylor Greene’s town hall tonight in Cobb’s County, GA. Police have been moving in swiftly on anyone showing dissent from the crowd. (🎥 Greg Bluestein)

how’s that going for you, Timothy, as he blames Ukraine for Russia’s invasion, talks about deporting US citizens to prison camps, & continues to screw the economy

Sumy is tonight being hit by Russian ballistic missiles again - a day after Putin’s Palm Sunday massacre killed 34 locals, including 2 children in the city. Every day Trump attacks Zelensky & is silent on Putin, it emboldens the terrorist. This is Russian genocide, now enabled by Trump.

Max Bethell is the Reform UK candidate for Bakewell, Derbyshire. This isn't acceptable for a person standing to be councillor. We've called on Branch Chair Jeremy Ruse we urge him to request this candidate stands down. Also @reformuk.bsky.social

Happy Birthday, Julie Christie 4/14/1940. Pacino called her "most poetic of all actresses." Worked with & around celebrities for 10 yrs in L.A., only starstruck twice. Encountered Christie in theater lobby of charity performance of Sweeney Todd we were both attending & was very uncool! #filmsky 📽

My ★★★★ review of Show Boat boxd.it/9p5x43 Iconic musical problematic to modern sensibilities, but pretty progressive at times. Wildly entertaining first act, Paul Robeson & Hattie McDaniel steal ecery scene. More traditional final act. So many classic tunes! #filmsky 📽 Criterion Collection 1021

the Putin admirer & former Russia Today favourite seems to have yet another job as unofficial Kremlin spokesperson

Jeez. A clip has emerged of Donald Trump in the Oval Office discussing how people made money in the recent market fluctuations as a result of his tariffs. "He made two-and-a-half billion today, and he made nine hundred million, that's not bad!"

This is so embarrassing

Regardless of your political views, think we can agree the stuff being put in to Reform UK local groups is horrific. Here’s Reform UK Bishop Auckland, run by Kenny Hope the candidate for Delves Lane, County Durham where Farage just visited. Reform UK get your house in order.

Labour's decision to give Donald Trump an "unprecedented" second state visit, including a specific invitation to visit Scotland, looks more ridiculous by the day. We must never bow down to the politics of hate, division and self-destruction that Trump represents.

‘This is a GREAT time to move your COMPANY into the United States of America. DON'T WAIT, DO IT NOW!’

Reminder: Palestinians in the Gaza Strip remain “trapped, bombed and starved” say 6 aid agencies, as Israel continues to block food, medical aid and fuel for 2 million people including children, the sick and the elderly. It amounts to collective punishment, which is a war crime
