This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

A plea to TV writers and producers: stop ruining your series by making sure there’s enough left ‘open’ for another season. Let the plot be the plot.

@wulfhelm.bsky.social A repost of this would be appreciated. Unfortunately I can't provide a link to the page that shows the actual petition as the website doesn't allow it unless 5 people have signed it.

It seems pretty obvious to me, from evidence emerging from the Duke & Duchess of York (neither one the sharpest knife in the box) that Epstein was a manipulator & blackmailer; he’d get something ‘on’ an influential person & then pull the ropes. So why is the issue seldom discussed in this context?

What is horrifying to me is that none of this is crazy, impossible to implement policy. Just stuff that used to be normal

The Times front page from exactly 11 years ago. Those Tory reforms wasted £50B over a decade and ushered in the greatest assault on public health in NHS history. Experts warned them. They refused to listen. That’s why the Tories are done. Labour should take note.

David Brooks:

‘Will enough Americans rise up to reverse the tide of populist authoritarianism? The Filipinos did it under Marcos. One morning the autocrats woke up and were no longer in control; the marchers were. That needs to happen here. ‘

Why would a billionaire want a functioning paper? Functioning papers cover shit like “did you know this billionaire makes his workers pee into bottles instead of taking a break” and “you pay way more tax than a guy with ten yachts”

Haaaaaahahahahaha CLOWN DOWN.

This was (allegedly) the matey we featured on the “who’s really behind the flags?” video.

The terrifying one, screaming abuse at council workers.

Assuming it is him, he’s just been arrested.

On these figures, Reform would have a majority with 331 MPs, Labour would have 127, the LibDems 72, the Tories 44 and the Greens 10.

Proof positive, yet again, that our already shaky FPTP system collapses completely with many parties in contention.
