Every factory on earth, except those located in the United States, can get the inputs they need from China, without paying an additional 145 percent markup.

Are Muslims really banning dogs in parks? 🤔

Let’s look at this perfect example of how rage baiting works, and how disinformation spreads, sticks, and fuels division, even years after being debunked…

Actually its only embezzlement if it's from the Embezzle region of France. Otherwise it's just sparkling misappropriation of funds.
A French court has sentenced far-right leader Marine Le Pen to a five-year ban on running for office with immediate effect, throwing into doubt her bid to stand for president in 2027. u.afp.com/SiWH

Watching the whole exchange is bloody painful. Trump and Vance are absolute cunts. Total fucking cunts.

Its like Britons have forgotten/don't know that the U.S had to be dragged kicking and screaming into The Great War and Second World War.
Many Britons doubt America's commitment to NATO's collective defence obligations

% who think it is likely / unlikely the US would defend...

Baltic states
Likely: 18%
Unlikely: 58%

Poland
Likely: 26%
Unlikely: 51%

UK
Likely: 44%
Unlikely: 35%

They are far too comfortable doing this. I think we are just weeks away from a whole rally throwing a nazi salute.

@shelaghfogarty.bsky.social The initial nursery that our son went to used to charge for the whole month, even bank holidays and weeks they were closed like christmas week. Their reasoning was we are paying to reserve the space. We moved our son when we found out they were mistreating him >>>>

@realdomjoly.bsky.social I'm not saying we've found your audience or anything mate but I've just introduced my 8yo boy to Trigger Happy TV and he is weak with laughter.

But obviously objecting to any bad language because he is a good boy. 😄

Britain 2025 and our Prime Minister feels the need to say this.
"The Prime Minister would not be happy with a member of his Government doing a Nazi salute", says Keir Starmer's spokesman

Good for Prince Harry. Had the resources to do what others couldn't, stood up to the bullies and won.
Significant

1. NGN blinked and now - finally - admit "unlawful activities" authorised by the Sun

2. The huge costs trap NGN set for Prince Harry has snapped back and caught NGN instead

Huge litigation defeat - NGN litigation strategy in tatters
Harry was able to call NGN bluff in way Hugh Grant was not able to afford to do.

Grant settlement: NGN "without admission of liability"

Harry settlement: "NGN offers a full and unequivocal apology [...] for [...] incidents of unlawful activities [...].

Watching #Toulouse this afternoon in the #Championscup is like a dream. Even those hardly bothered by rugby would appreciate the trys they have scored these first 25 minutes. Wonderful rugby.

'Just because of some social media posts.'

Filth. He belongs in prison.
The man who set up a Telegram account used to organise and incite riots following the Southport attack has been jailed

Andrew McIntyre, 39, started "Southport Wake Up" and also attended disorder in Southport on 30 July and in Liverpool on 3 August himself. He was jailed for seven-and-a-half years

As brazen as it gets. It has been clear for years that Laura Kuenssberg is horrifically biased.
Part of the reason why many people have a problem with Kuenssberg. There is a clear line between interrogating a policy and actively playing defence for the Tories - a defence which she often ascribes to "viewers".

Well, it is then perfectly fair for viewers to say: Hang on! No, I don't think that!

So with Bluesky so far being a much more pleasant place to be, it'll be interesting to see how visible Fairytale of New York lyrics discourse & 'Baby It's Cold Outside is a rape anthem actually' discourse is. I wonder if its a liberal overreaction problem or if its been fermented by bad actors.

Accidentally caught some #bbcquestiontime & honestly what a waste of precious time that programme is. Nobody learns anything from it at the best of times but Farage is on again talking shit. He is an MP now so has more right to be on there. But the exposure the BBC have given him, they created him.

Anybody young enough to only remember Welsh rugby from 2005 onwards. This was what the 90s and early 2000s were like. ALL THE TIME. Enjoy. #WalvRSA

2. Who would be the better players?
