Churchill at the White House during WW2, not wearing a suit.

Supporters Praise Trump For Upholding Traditional American Value Of Supporting Murderous Dictators For Political Gain

@lisagifford.bsky.social

America right now:

If there were no problems with diversity in finance, they wouldn't need to abolish the policy, because it would be irrelevant. It's almost like one misogynistic, racist old white guy in power is empowering others to act the same way...🧐 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Imagine being the richest man in the World and choosing to put your energies into destroying programmes that support people who have very little. #karma

Free speech baby

Not all men. But somehow always a man. So tired of this bullshit. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I listen to a lot of Pet Shop Boys, but with such a vast catalogue, there are songs I don’t hear often. I’ve got a YouTube playlist on shuffle this evening while reading a book, and Liberation came on. What a breathtakingly beautiful love song. A really pleasant surprise.

This is more like it, NYT. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/u...

Trans rights are human rights.

What Canadian goods can I buy in the UK? 🤔 Specifically, a good Canadian bourbon?

I mean, it’s not the worst thing WWE has lied about in the past few years 👀

Seems very clear that the real problem with DEI is that it gets in the way of nepotism.

This is astonishingly low, even for Trump. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cy...

Geoffrey's life within Rainbow was a nightmare. I can't believe what he went through living with those cunts.

How we’re getting to Young Bucks vs Golden Lovers 2

Me walking into a room and forgetting what I came in for

You've just been thrown to your death by the Beatles.

Some great points here. Tourists (like myself) need to behave according to the country they are visiting (i.e. Japan). I saw so many examples of terrible behaviour from gaijin, but the worst was a woman conducting a full-on fashion photoshoot with tripod etc in front of the honden at a Shinto shrine

Some Lynchs films inspired Silent Hill 2. When we were building the outline of the story, there was an idea that 2 or 3 guys were the main protagonists like Lost Highway's story. Also, as you know, Blue Velvet inspired the cut scene "Pyramid Head abusing 2 Mannequins". David Lynch R.I.P 🙏

More women in wrestling creative positions please...

At a time when audio drama and entertainment is having a moment, it seems short-sighted of the BBC to cut their radio drama slots. Still, that is what they have been quietly doing. Sign the petition opposing their latest cuts. chng.it/V6QyDwkfbp

Who can Cindy trust? Sonia's trial continues. Martin is pulled in all directions and can Reiss keep it together? I wrote tonight's EastEnders on BBC1 and iPlayer. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

Beware the rich old white dudes who want to maintain an outdated and unnecessary status quo. What’s their agenda? It’s not the wellbeing of their employees… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I’ve dropped out of watching AEW weekly, because frankly it’s not been compelling TV. Caught up last night and what in the 90s misogynistic bullshit was that Jeff Jarrett promo? Like, can we not use outdated tropes about women in wrestling sleeping with guys in the back? Fucksake.
