I think this can be officially considered the moment in which Keir Starmer buried the legacy of his ever having been a human rights lawyer, never to be mentioned again.
Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called late yesterday for a reform of the European Convention of Human Rights as European nations move to get tougher on migration.
Frederiksen and Starmer push to water down Europe’s human rights treaty
“The current asylum framework was created for another era. In a world with mass mobility, yesterday’s answers do not work,” say Danish and British leaders.

They don’t care! The plan is the same as it was in 2018-19: tantrum until you get your way, and pull the roof down on everyone if you don’t. They are going to fly the plane into the mountain and then blame *you* for the crash, exactly the same as they did in the late Brexit calamity era.

Pure unadulterated white supremacy. Dirty, deadly, dead end.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

The designer of Times New Roman, Stanley Morrison, was a conscientious objector in 1916 and was imprisoned for his pacifist beliefs.

These dipshits can't even vice signal without screwing it up.
Times New Roman is an imported font, developed for London newspaper The Times in 1931. You know what American-designed font cooked up in 1994 would be perfect for this regime? Comic Sans.
Marco Rubio ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor's decision to adopt Calibri a “wasteful” diversity move

Has there ever been a more Sir This Is a Wendy's in the whole recorded history of Sir This is a Wendy's?
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

In a UK intellectual environment that struggles to engage with forms of elite radicalisation it is worth noting how far Right wing think tanks like Policy Exchange are now operating in the same ideological space as increasingly groyperised MAGA Republicans

Eventually this becomes “or a toddler, or an elementary-schooler, or a high-schooler,” and you end up telling yourself learning to have a relationship with your own kid is beyond your capabilities.
This makes me feel like Olivier sneering at Dustin Hoffman: "My dear boy, why don't you just try parenting?"
Jimmy Fallon: "And do you use ChatGPT when raising your baby?"

Sam Altman: "I cannot imagine figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT."

Note: This is because they sampled 2 of the 72 birds. There were 72 vultures on that campus, dead from bird flu.
"The Ohio Department of Agriculture says two of the 72 black vulture carcasses cleaned up from a Clermont County elementary school’s campus tested presumptive positive for bird flu."

Don has been sounding the alarm about Schedule F, and was the first person I read warning about Project 2025.

We're heading toward the nightmare stage of this pretty fast, with the goal and hope of making the federal government operate like the veritable one-party rule of, say, Mississippi.
New, from me: by embracing unitary executive theory, the Supreme Court is moving towards making all public employees fireable at the will of the President.

This will not just hurt government competence, it will aid democratic backsliding. 🧵

I mean, Trump has a point: it's hard to look weaker than this.
Keir Starmer’s spokesman refuses to criticise Trump for calling Europe a group of “decaying” nations led by “weak” leaders

Asked about Trump saying European countries will no longer be “viable" thanks to migration, Keir Starmer’s spokesman says the UK is “returning control to our asylum system”

listen

we can all agree it's a misleading name

but for none of the "ooh we're so traditionalist" "oooh we're the only ones correctly interpreting ancient doctrine" Catholics in this administration to know that the Feast of the Immaculate Conception is about MARY being born without sin is banoonies
ok it’s legitimately funny that they can’t even throw red meat to Catholics without falling into heresy

okay so the second and arguably even funnier part of this story is: so my dad was a university president, right? And there’s another university in that town. heated sports rivals, etc, etc, you know how it is
One time the local Staples (office supply store) went out of business and had a liquidation sale and my sister’s boyfriend and a couple of his friends went and bought about a thousand boxes of post it notes for 10 bucks total and six months later they did this to my dads office
