Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

What a load of bollocks, I'd expect far better from someone in my old trade than this. And yes, I did watch it all.
Shame on you, Ryan.

Amazing news that Suella Braverman has defected to Reform UK a mere 194 days since her husband, Rael Braverman, left Reform UK for comments they made criticising his wife.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I don’t think a state that is threatening wars of territorial aggression and has random death squads wandering about its mid-tier cities assassinating civilians should be hosting the World Cup

I see ICE has been murdering one of its citizens today. So that's nice.

Today I learned that if you bring up a completely honest concern with the policies of a party you align with, you draw out a load of 'comrades' like it's 1980 again.

By the way, the tariff thing, it's pure market manipulation. Margaret T Green made a fortune from it, same as the rest of them I expect.
Trump threatens tarrifs, market falls, his cronies buy low, hey presto no tariffs a week later and they sell high.

I am once again begging if you insist on having Farage on your show, don't ask him a single thing about Trump/Ukraine/etc. None of his business.
Ask him about Tendring Council's revised housing targets or proposed brown-site rezoning in Clacton. Make up an area of Clacton & see if he even notices.

The news cycle moves so fast now that outrage has a shorter half-life than milk. By the time you're properly mad, everyone's already onto the next catastrophe.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

More recognisable to some cyclists than the latest TdF winner. You knew when you were watching one of his videos you'd manage to fix your bike. Happy retirement, Calvin!
“We owe a lot to Calvin for his unique ability to demystify bike repair and maintenance.” The Director of Education at Park Tool, Calvin Jones, is retiring after 28 years.
