I've been trying to live in the Milliverse for 10 years.

Bloody woke BBC with its hours and hours of antifa propaganda #VEDay80

It's like every website, app and piece of software has developed its own Clippy. Clippy is following me around every day from Google to Zoom to Adobe Acrobat, telling me it looks like I'm trying to exist and would I like help with that

My (Labour) County Councillor had a bust-up with the local party and stood yesterday as an independent. Between her and the official Labour candidate they got 1,360 votes. The Reform candidate won with 972 votes. Well done everyone. #HowDepressing

Teal Toast

On top of all the other idiocy on show here, the fact that he's suggesting the whole of Canada as a single state shows just how unutterably ignorant he is.

A colleague emailed me today to flag the fact that the superb Fourth Circuit Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson ended a quotidian insurance opinion with an unusually introspective conclusion.

No Bothans died to bring us this information.

Wishing Pope Francis the best of luck in his performance review with his boss today. Hope he gets a raise.

Journalists quite often get emails written in exactly this style, often sent to scores of recipients on multiple publications, and the sadly reliable assumption is that the irate sender is miserable, paranoid and probably unwell.

Huge “I never fancied her anyway” energy here.

This is the best articulation of this point I have ever seen. I know that you can ask the hallucination machine to produce a document that can fool me. I'm asking you to think instead.

What the actual living fuck is Truss on about here?

STOP what you are doing, find some headphones or a secluded location, and watch this. I am crying with laughter and admiration at an idea seen through to its (nearly) bitter end. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD3Q... Sound--as they say--on.

Diminishing to the Uttermost West, I trust.

A historian who knows what he's talking about.

In Hitler's last will and testament, dictating hours before he committed suicide, 80 years ago in April 1945, he insisted that no one had wanted war in 1939. It had been forced on him by 'international Jewry and its helpers.'

This is an excellent, excellent thread. I still hear - from my own family & friends - this type of Islamophobia about 'wanting to take control over our spaces'. And it always turns out to be nonsense. Props to @monkemma.bsky.social for doing the homework here.

Am I seeing things that aren't there, or was Reed Amber deliberately wearing a controversial political symbol (the inverted red triangle) on #Newsnight last night? @vicderbyshire.bsky.social, was this questioned at all?

Pre-crime. What could possibly go wrong?

Rats in sack eating each other latest

Yup. Just like 'Brexit Derangement Sydrome'. They are just phrases designed to be shouted so loud that the shouters can (almost) drown out the voices of conscience and truth.

Why have the Netherlands been drowned in the #BBCNews map on the 6pm news?

“The markets rallied because a guy on Twitter made something up” really is all you need to know about money

So many hundreds of thousands of words of ink, so many countless hours wasted, explaining how this man was secretly savvy, and it turns out he’s just dumb as a rock, clueless about basic economics, and driven by a malicious paranoia that conniving foreigners are ripping us off

It's amazing how few people in the UK realise that the last time the world went in to a massive financial tailspin, albeit one not directly caused by the President of the USA, it was Gordon Brown & the late Alistair Darling who provided the sort of international leadership desperately needed now.

BREAKING: Standard & Poor have downgraded the entire global economy rating from "Standard" to "Poor".

As retaliation for the Tariffs we will now be showing any American made TV show without the last five minutes. Good luck finding out how Frasier got out of that one.

Here are the US reciprocal tariffs against all the territories mentioned in Enya’s Orinoco Flow

Not making time to watch the actual programme everyone’s talking about but seemingly having time to absorb a twitter conspiracy about it is the most Kemi Badenoch response I ever heard

Finally made it in the Britpop world - I’m on the stage at the Good Mixer!

This is just glorious. The wealth (no pun intended) of historical context, cultural depth and joyous, timeless storytelling is guaranteed to leave your ears fulfilled. Already looking forward to the next one.

I'm old enough to remember people sharing FB posts promising that Bill Gates (or whoever) will give you $100 for every share, or something similar. I laughed; what billionaire would be such a fucking slimeball that they'd nakedly pay people in this way? (And how many AI pics will get paid out here?)
