The BBC really needs to be called out for its double standards. Think of the fuss it made when Gary Lineker - a sports presenter - expressed a political opinion. Yet the BBC is happy for one of its main news presenters to peddle this right-wing nonsense in a highly partisan right-wing newspaper.

The problem with Justin Webb’s position at the BBC is not just his flagrant bias, or his writing for the Mail, or his audible prejudices, it’s that all those things make him embarrassingly bad at analysing politics. “Left = firebrand = too woke = trouble for Dems” is about his level

Online rightwing people keep having to learn the lesson that if you film yourself doing the illegal thing to prove how easy it is to do the illegal thing, you will be arrested for doing the illegal thing, thus proving how hard it is to do the illegal thing.

so priceless that prolific ratfucker James O'Keefe, by going undercover to prove how easy it is to commit voter fraud.... ends up proving how hard it is to commit voter fraud, and then catches charges for unlawful voting chef's kiss, stellar work all around www.startribune.com/conservative...

In other words, negotiations with Eddie Howe are taking longer than expected.

I want all trans people to know that Erika Hilton is a black transwoman and the most-voted congresswoman in the history of Brazil, with 1.5 millions votes. She campaigned for Lula over the last three weeks. WE TRANS PEOPLE CAN EXIST IN POLITICS. It’s not a dream. It’s already a reality in Brazil!

David Lewis reposted

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Bolsonaro-friendly mayors appear to be sabotaging public transport on Election Day. Buses aren’t running in Lula-friendly areas, flights and ferries mysteriously canceled. Traffic lights have gone out and people’s power cut in Salvador, indigenous people’s travel restricted

We are watching a coup d’état attempt unfold in real time in Brazil. I’m consumed by desperation.

Big shoutout to the insomnia gang who find the ‘you get an extra hour’s sleep!’ joviality at this time of year a bruising smash in the metaphoricals. No, we don’t. We get an extra hour of staring into the grey void wondering whether death is preferable.

Just need to beat the most in-form, free-scoring team in the league to find ourselves in the rarified air of fourth place. The glory game, eh? #LFC

Pro-ICE conservative blogger Samuel Sey, a prominent figure on the evangelical right, has himself been arrested and held for potential ICE deportation.

The replies are an extraordinary catalogue of things that have objectively improved. If we didn't have the climate crisis and the far right authoritarians and the tech barons overshadowing everything I'd be whistling every day

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

Starting beef with your captain, no matter how poorly he’s playing, is classic I’m-about-to-be-sacked Manchester United-managerial desperation.

Liverpool have had some poor games over the past couple of years, but this is by far the worst I can remember since … what? Before Klopp, certainly. Absolutely wretched. #LFC

Incels: we can’t get women because they’re shallow and go for looks Also incels: before going on dates, we roll around in shit for a few hours, then drink a pint of piss

CNN@cnn.com

Not showering, wearing sweaty clothes and even drinking urine before going on dates. 'Pheromone-maxxing' is the latest trend on social media, but what does the science say?

According to 2024 ONS statistics the number of people in the UK aged 90 or over - the only people who could reasonably be said to remember 'living through' WWII (if you were five in 1945, you don't remember living through the war) was 625,000. Less than .1% of the population. What are we doing here?

Prejudices so suppressed they can only be ‘whispered’ in a national newspaper.

do think there's a danger of looking at extremely cool shit like a car driving upside down then doing a kickflip before landing, and convincing yourself it's actually lame because the guy funding it is a white supremacist
