Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

Erika Kirk visited Northern Ireland earlier this year to set up TPNI alongside Ian Paisley Jr. Organisers of riots in Belfast using loyalist language and tactics. NI being largely an afterthought in the Brexit debacle. The far right in England don’t want all out chaos on their own doorstep.

Trump purchased as much as $50,000 of stock in the parent company of UFC. Meanwhile, Trump has been heavily promoting a UFC event that will take place at the White House for his birthday. It's one of the worst conflicts of interest you could imagine.

My kid is studying in Kazakhstan. Putin visiting today. ‘Mum, I’m about 100 metres from Putin. The motorcade is outside my building’ Me: ‘I’m just in Tesco’ Her: ‘I’m serious, there are three armoured tanks coming down the road’

Cuba's minister of energy confirmed reserves are gone — with just enough diesel left to keep hospitals online. The UN has classified Washington's blockade a humanitarian crisis.

This scale of loss makes me think of two things: money laundering, and a return on investment that’s not measured in monetary profits, but policy outcomes.

Trump Media, the parent company of Truth Social, just reported its 2026 Q1 results. It lost $405 MILLION on $900,000 in revenue.

This massive economic blackout is set for May 1st and this could be the most significant event in U.S history if it’s done correctly and the people of this Country participate in it.This will bring everything to a halt and show that Americans mean business! Stop the flow of $ Aaron Parnas 👇

Karoline Leavitt using the word slander to describe opposition to the regime makes it a legal matter. Introducing the use of firing squads? Lethal gas? False flag events? We are not horrified enough.

NEWS FLASH - Trump has NOT been “EXONERATED” of ANY CRIMES which he’s RIGHTFULLY ACCUSED = 91 Felonies: Espionage, Election Fraud, Obstruction of Justice & of Congress, NOR is Trump exonerated for RAPE, but GUILTY in a court of Law; NOR for Pedo-Child-Sex ring with BFF Epstein; NOR for Russian ties.

If these MAGA males are supposed to be the pro life protectors of women… why were the women crawling under tables while they were being muscled out by security?

I don’t know why more people aren’t asking this. It didn’t die with Epstein. How could it? The level of impunity with which they acted doesn’t suddenly die with one key agent.

Bingo! "Epstein's dead. But it's clear that he wasn't acting alone. Who else was involved and what offences could they have committed? And of course, importantly, is this still going on with others?” #Pinks

If I were a cynic, I’d think this Falkland announcement was timed just before the U.K. local elections quite perfectly for NF. How likely is it that Trump even recalls the existence of them?

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

Now it all makes sense 🤦‍♀️ The department of education is being dismantled to be rebuilt to teach Trump Math, Trumpenomics, Trump History, Trump English, Reading, Writing, Grammar & Oratory Communication Skills What else am I missing?

WTAF? @zackpolanski.bsky.social I can assume all parties are getting this treatment?

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened. Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah. (h/t @iainsol.bsky.social)

Multiple mass shootings in America over the weekend and because our country is so fucked-up due to Trump, nobody's talking about them. 😳👇
