If parents spent the same time and effort buying and getting their kids to read books as they do on World Book Day costumes, it would be a big step forward.

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal: “Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine." @latenightercom.bsky.social

Film that prompted me to run away to a CND camp age 14. They sent me home lol. Living beside a nuclear base I was fucking terrified. To be fair, would still be deid as I only live 35 miles away now

Elon got this right. According to the AI chatbot called Grok, which was developed by Elon Musk’s company xAI, there is a “75-85% likelihood” that the person who delivered the State of the Union address on Tuesday night is a “Putin-compromised” Russian asset. www.azcentral.com/story/opinio...

I have no sympathy. Zero fucks to give.. Colbert is right about the turd soup. This is just a "Thank you sir, may I have another" by the stupid cult.

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

Stalked by a sheep when I drove down the wrong lane...

Extraordinary comment from Tory MP Graham Stuart this morning: “We have to consider the possibility that president Trump is a Russian asset. “If so, Trump’s acquisition is the crowning achievement of Putin’s FSB career — and Europe is on its own.” www.politics.co.uk/news/2025/03...

The total cut off of deliveries to Ukraine is shockingly punitive. This is money already spent, equipment already built by industry for Ukraine, much of it has little utility to the US military. And it is just going to be sitting there in warehouses idle, as Ukrainian forces fight on.

Apologies, that's S&P. Dow Jones looks even worse

Fuck. Sake.

Huh

#NATO's Article 5 was only invoked once, by 🇺🇸 asking for defence after 9/11 As a result, 1,105 European and Canadian soldiers died in the 20-year Afghanistan war - 1/3 of all coalition casualties I don't recall the Europeans demanding America surrender its mineral wealth in exchange for their help

2 fucking headlines right next to each other

Powerful. Tomorrow’s front page of the most influential weekly publication in Germany. “BETRAYED. First Zelensky, Soon Us? The radical departure of the US from its allies.”

Jordan Bardella, the president of France’s hard right National Rally, has cancelled his plans to speak at CPAC after Steve Bannon “proactively made a gesture referring to Nazi ideology.” In other words, Bannon and CPAC are now too extreme for the French extreme right.
