In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

I have a cold and thought I’d spend good £ on renting a trashy movie. I went with Kraven. The 3 act origin story with no real depth or empathy, then the minor bad guys, and finally the cgi big boss villain fight, is so rubbish. Why did I do that? I’m out of excuses

As a philosophy major who adored symbolic logic courses, this may be my favorite cartoon ever.

🧵 New results on which are the freest countries in the world. Ireland ranks no 7, being held back by racism towards Travellers & Roma, as well as police corruption. The UK ranks ~33rd & USA is ~57th. Finland is the most free. The results are similar to the previous year. [1]

🧵 To a hammer, everything looks like a nail. To His Majesty’s Supreme Court, at London, everything is a colonial issue. On one side are the proudly ignorant, pseudoscientific judicial master race, & on the other, Queer savages. Sex [& gender] is a colonial issue [1]

Met Gala trolling. At $75k a ticket I guess it can afford to but historically and socially brilliant #blaxcellence www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/2025-m...

Popes are chosen by God, making them the ultimate Dei hire

My God, the number of schoolfriends who have later got in touch with me to say how damaged or altogether broken they were by this experience. One of them, who is middle-aged, regularly has night terrors about it.

The Great Gatsby is 100. Obsession, the frailty of money, the institution of wealth, the laundered corruption, the lies inherent in dreams, even the absenting of black people, why, it seems like only yesterday

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

Still haunted by a short sci-fi story about a researcher trying to find patient zero of a disease. They are fought at every turn & eventually realise that people are dying, refusing help, being helped to die, so they can enter heaven. That fiction so close to this reality

Too bad Uvalde Elementary didn’t sell Teslas.

I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

’Tis time to fear when tyrants seems to kiss.

I find it curious that there were never any hectoring and pious blogposts directed towards conservatives when they ran off to Parler and Gab, blathering on about why they needed viewpoint diversity and to avoid echo chambers. Why is that? Is it just “liberals” are expected to be the grown ups?

"In Norway, Tesla saw a 38% sales slump, in France sales dropped by 63%, and in Spain by 75%. Tesla sales dropped 13% across the whole European Union last year and are expected to fall further... Tesla registered only 1,277 new cars in Germany in January, a year-on-year drop of 59.5%."
