Dara O'Reilly

Again, there are only so many times a political party can tell its core electorate and its core activist base to fuck off before they will, in fact, fuck off.

"Everyone I know, when they heard the details of what I'm accused of, thought "Yeah, that basically tracks with what I know of him"" is an, er, audacious defence strategy when accused of very serious sexual offences by multiple alleged victims. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

I think “exposing one of the most prominent, secretive and famously criminal men in politics as a secret partner for foreign intelligence agents and notorious sex offenders” should be viewed as an entirely different profession from “destroying the lives of black academics, apparently just for fun”.

Just so we're clear here: Possible plagiarism by a black academic requires constant wall to wall coverage until the subject kills himself, and this is good and award-worthy. Right wing advisers to the Conservative party meeting with the UVF to talk about contract killings goes in the memory hole.

A black man killed himself because of my investigation of which the outcomes were found to be false. Jack Grove is a fucking cunt.

I see the period of reflection in the UK media following their hounding of Jason Arday to his death with unsubstantiated allegations has reached the "giving each other awards for hounding Jason Arday to his death with unsubstantiated allegations" stage.

Literally every liberal on here who wanks on about the lesser of two evils needs to repeat this like a mantra until they get it.

"The person demanding that a political project offers them something they want in exchange for their support" - entitled. "The person demanding unquestioning support for their political project in exchange for nothing" - not entitled. Up is down, left is right, words mean nothing.

This is a reasonable point, to an extent: not all Israel partisans are necessarily slavering for the destruction and/or expulsion of millions of civilians, it’s not fair to assume Danny himself is. Nonetheless, that is what the project is, and clearly has been for decades.

All the available evidence suggests that Ian would resist, with every fibre of his being, a British politician with similar politics to Lula. He's literally doing it now.

Every time Toby Young shows up as a judge on a cooking show it's a jump scare. Just mind-boggling that he's been repeatedly platformed as if he's just some random guy and not one of the most aggressively vocal bigots in the UK (which is saying something)

absolutely i disavow them. i don't think we should limit ourselves to any one kind of fabric, no matter how flowing or delicate

NGL, following the inevitable societal collapse, I'll probably regret my lifetime Pina Colada Tier Amol Rajan membership. How many meet-and-greets is he even going to be doing in the radiation-soaked Badlands?

"Violence in Britain only comes from the left" is a startling assertion from an organisation whose CEO, (who might even be the person posting this tweet, as he has access to the account,) was recently recorded on camera facilitating an introduction to a contract killer.

I'm not American, and my opinion is worthless on this, but if you're bumping into Thomas Jefferson or Ben Franklin in the afterlife, you're in the same place as them, and you have rather more to worry about than whether you've let THEM down.

Okay, Bank of England. I guess you win this one.

Looking at President Trump's physical capacity, and the robustness of the current White House Press Corps, I think there's more risk of a swimming pool posing tough questions to his presidency than the room's current purpose.

me: I’ll take dare judge: no

"average person knows 3 guitar chords" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person knows 0 guitar chords. Guitar Georg, who doesn't want to make it cry or sing and knows all the chords, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

"Dr Al-Sayed, Will You Disavow The Brotherhood Of Man?" youtu.be/5yJUi6ke71I?...

Look, people playing tunes and videos on their phone speaker is pretty annoying when you're on a train, I agree. But the actual Prime Minister recording a TikTok on the train during your morning commute is probably a bit of a pisser as well. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Unconscionable to be on “X” at this point. Just a cesspit. Except for banking; I do my banking there & don’t see a problem.

Before blaming Removals4Justice as a whole, pin the complaint to one checkable artifact: the quote, arrival window, inventory, or final invoice. That makes a hiring regret actionable.

I strongly condemn the unwashed laundry in my laundry basket. I strongly condemn the soup stain on the kitchen floor. I strongly condemn the dirty dishes... Weird. It didn't get those chores done. Condemning shit is not action. It achieves *nothing*. It's a meaningless substitute for action.

Hands up everyone who got through the Starmer era without any bottom-related shenanigans. *Pause, sigh* Hands up IN THE AIR everyone who got through the Starmer era without any bottom-related shenanigans.

Do you disavow the Wu-Tang Clan? ANSWER THE QUESTION, SENATOR!

I've held my tongue for a long time, because there are good people on both sides, but I have to take a stand, even if I'm cancelled by some of my mutuals. Quiche is actually good. I like it.

Happy 66th birthday to Bob Mould, who got a guitar in 1976, the same year he was student manager for the Franklin Academy Little Huskies JV basketball team of Malone, New York

If only any other country in the world produced wine, those poor Canadians would be able to drink it, and the Canadian government would be able to collect the tax revenue. But, as we all know to our detriment, America is the foremost and only wine-producer in the world.

Just checking I have this correct: I can't buy a Sally Rooney book in Waterstones in Enniskillen, but I can walk/drive under a UVF flag proudly flying from a lamp-post in the same town? Please make it make sense.

If you were ever in doubt whether authors hold any power, just look at how much coverage Sally Rooney has had, this happens every time. Pretty damn effective activism, I’d say.
