‘Apparently, Charles Dickens serialised his novel 'A Tale of Two Cities' in a couple of Midlands newspapers.
It was the Bicester Times,
It was the Worcester Times.’

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

TRUMP: If they want to release my MRI it's ok w/me. It's perfect like my phone call where I got impeached
Q: What part of your body were they were looking at?
TRUMP: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn't the brain bc I took a cognitive test & aced it, which you would be incapable of doing

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Black (so underused)

Remembering today the late 🇺🇸American actor #DavidDoyle (1 December 1929 – 26 February 1997) born #OnThisDay in Lincoln, Nebraska, seen here with co-star Elliott Gould in the action thriller "CAPRICORN ONE" (1977) dir. Peter Hyams

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Glorious, cathartic, taking no shit at all, Stewart Lee.

If only all our media could be as ruthlessly challenging as this.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.
