"What, according to Jim O’Callaghan, is supposed to happen when a child expresses discomfort about hugging an older relative? Their parents should make them do it anyway?" Here's a Surrealing in the Years Bank Holiday Special. The commenters absolutely love this one, I'm sure you can imagine.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

That headline is doing some serious stretching. All changes are within the margin of error - and it’s hard to see how a 3 point rise for Independent Ireland and a 1 point rise for Aontu indicates ‘voters turning to right wing populists’. Mad stuff.
POLL: Business Post/Red C (Oct 16-21, MoE 3%) Sinn Féin 22 (+1 in six weeks) Fine Gael 15 (-3) Fianna Fáil 15 (+1) Social Democrats 9 (-2) Aontú 8 (+1) Ind Ireland 8 (+3) Labour 4 PBP-Solidarity 4 (+1) Greens 3 Independents 11 (-2)

“The Government explained that non-consensual touching was OK, as long as the intent wasn't sexual. So, as long as it was meant strictly non-sexually, Jim O'Callaghan could slide his fingers up my nostrils. I don't want that for me. I don't want that for anyone.” www.thegist.ie/the-gist-the...

Doubling down on hate and nastiness in a situation where victim Amy Acton is being dragged through this, even though she is the victim of rape from a pedophile. This perpetuates a vile, disgusting attack. Shame on the POTUS and the GOP.
Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

It’s come to something when a photographer has to get legal advice, before displaying this photo in an exhibition, due to the risk of being prosecuted as a terrorist, but that’s exactly what I had to do yesterday. What a state this country is in.
A woman weeps over the genocide in Gaza as she waits to be arrested as a terrorist for holding up a piece of cardboard. Parliament Square today.

You may have seen reports about the campaign for charities to be more 'transparent' about who funds them. Well it turns out the mysterious new right-wing think tank behind it won't say who funds or runs them, and used fake names for the authors of the report which launched their campaign

Musk cannot be trusted - diversify from starlink and Tesla and let him concentrate to sending himself to Mars … good riddance
🚨 BREAKING: Elon Musk personally proposed slowing down Ukraine’s Starlink access, and Trump agreed, The Telegraph reports, citing four sources. Musk reportedly later feared backlash from European customers and publicly denied responsibility, blaming the White House instead.

Behind the shock and whispers at this unnecessarily prolonged process we need to reflect on the victims. Donaldson and his wife did not plead guilty, he claimed the victims were liars, put them through a trial and made many attempts to drag the process out. May he rot. www.bbc.com/news/live/cm...

It's thought two white dwarves merged and exploded leaving this expanding bubble of enriched plasma, packed with heavy elements like sulfur argon and neon. This type of merger is considered a failed supernova because substantial material wasn't consumed by the initial reaction. Thus the light show

Here’s Kash Patel
So Trump not only disarmed Ukraine by removing the Starlink/Starshield capability with defensive drones (the system only operates in Ukraine), he blinded it too with withholding advanced warnings of Russian missile attacks. How evil, cowardly and craven. Is Kash Patel still in Moscow
