Things you love to see. Tommy Ten Names gets his arse handed to him by Ty Mitchell. Ty was well able for Tommy, both verbally and physically. Shame he didn't deck him.

It’s as if the sheer scale of this wealth, which beggars even the riches of the Gilded Age, has induced a kind of class sociopathy.”

Innocent people end up in our criminal courts.
Completely, terrifyingly innocent.
And all that stands between them and losing everything is a fair trial.
Politicians would do well to remember this when they tell us that justice is all about processing “criminals” swiftly.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

True tale: A Baltimore police colonel called a rival at 3 a.m. from a crime scene: "Leon, I got you now. You fucked up. You wrote "POLICE" backwards on the front of the EVU truck."
"Eddie, that's so it reads correctly in a rear view mirror."
Long pause.
"Aw Leon, you got an answer for everything."

Greene's departure represents another political notch in Trump’s belt, the retreat of another would-be Republican rebel. But the defiant nature of her video announcement hinted at the fissures now dividing the president’s movement. Lisa Lerer @reidepstein.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/u...

very very interesting short video series on the importance of friction in the modern world esp in the AI era.
young people are increasingly talking about 'agency' and working on strategies to make sure that their lives aren't just about clicking, swiping and consuming.

Never mind theology. In these hard times of algorithms, AI, franchises and merch, I would dutifully take scripts notes from His Holiness. In fact, I want him to run a studio.

You know that time that a major British news organisation mistakenly sought out a random dude who happened to share a name with a former New York mayor in order to go after a left wing New York mayoral candidate? Did anyone resign?

Honestly TELL THE STORY. Won’t someone just tell the fucking story of how Brexit created this economic hardship, how a Muslim immigrant just saved the lives of those commuters on that train, won’t someone in politics or even media just connect the fucking dots and TELL THE STORY. IT’S RIGHT THERE

Reminder that back in July Katie Lam wrote an article for the Sun on Indefinite Leave to Remain and the Conservatives' proposals.
It contained a number of blatant lies and the Sun published a detailed retraction.

The death of shame and its consequences, especially for public figures, is a huge reason why we are in this place as a country. Shame as a concept is imperfect and can be abused, but we should absolutely be able to say that people with horrific, hateful beliefs must be made pariahs.
