What even is the USA at this point?

RFK is of course correct, it has been *checks notes* an entire year since an Arab has won a Nobel Prize

Hard to even begin to get your head around what a totally batshit crazy thing this is to hear from a Government official of any country, never mind the most powerful country on earth.

It's so stupidly warm in Dublin. Windy, but stupidly, ridiculously warm.

This seems significant.

TV just casually mentioning that some guy was one of 9 children living in a one bedroom bungalow. Jesus Christ, Ireland. Wtf?

Erm... what? As if we're going to have to suffer the National collective indignity of this absolute fruitcake being at the Cenotaph every year for the next several decades. Ffs. Haven't we suffered enough?

Is this voter fraud in the room with us now?

Such a shame for them. So sad.

Incredible. Student List are candidates selected by groups of students to form an anti-corruption party. Another youth-led movement overthrowing an authoritarian government in Europe.

Would be interested to go for a pint with this guy, seeing as he's so local to me.

Excited about spending the next 6 months thinking I'm an hour late every time I get in the car, cos obviously I'm not going to just change the clock.

Every time I go to McDonald's, on the rare occasions I go to McDonald's, I'm reminded why I don't go to McDonald's.* *Except for coffee. Their coffee is OK and I do occasionally enjoy a vanilla milkshake with a Couple of double espressos poured into it.

Clocks have gone back, have they?

The guy must have a recording of one of his sets somewhere and the public has a right to demand to hear it. Mainly just cos I'm actually interested to know what his taste in music is like.

This is a very odd post from the President of a country that doesn't have universal health care.

Lol... Weird to find oneself cheering on the largest media corporation in the world, but these are strange times we're living in.

Autistic eldest daughter has divulged that she intends to buy some cheese savouries and use them to go ghost hunting in town near a closed down Chinese restaurant. Not entirely sure what to do with this information. Good luck, ghosts. I guess.

Jesus Christ.... What could it be about The Conservative Party that attracts people like this?! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Signs that make the mind boggle.... What on earth had people been putting in these to prompt the necessity of these signs?

For various reasons I've found myself watching 'Hot fuzz' and... honestly, my main concern here is that people from overseas like the US might see this film and think it's exaggerated. I've been to rural Gloucestershire, though. This is most Tuesdays, tbh.

Just imagine being the marketing & legal team that had this land on your desk.

I think no comment would be sufficient for this.

OK... what has Netanyahu got on him? You'd have thought after being dragged into a totally pointless war that has hopelessly bogged down his Presidency and absolutely tanked his approval ratings the Trump might be a bit pissed off about Bibi, but instead he's rimming the guy?

Bruh

So unspeakably angry with myself about the 'Archbishop' typo here. This is how Sharia Halakha conquers us all.

I feel you, Roman soldiers. I feel you.

Ha ha ha! What? I want to see a nice plate of sewage salad delivered to Thames Water head office.

Kind of fascinating Tommy went all the way through this very simple back and forth that we all know the answer to, then at the end still said he thinks religious doctrine should be read into to the Constitution. Like he knows the Constitution says it shouldn't but thinks the Constitution is wrong.

"Don't marry her." Beautiful South.

Never mind basic vetting failures, how would you even start with trying to vet for stuff like this? Where do they even find these people?

Social media companies aren't even hiding that they're actively trying to influence elections. Will anything be done about it in the UK before 2029?

I suppose we haven't totally collapsed as a country quite yet.

Is the USA the only place that makes wine now?

I don't understand how these people have so much money, but manage to dress so horrifically all the time. Surely their tailors are just taking the piss, aren't they?

What was the last thing 80 per cent of Americans agreed on?

This is important and highlights a very dangerous misconception. People are often scathing about Reform, saying they're stupid, but that's a long way from the truth. What they're doing is very clever politics. Not for solving any of the country's problems, but clever politics for building support

Their sacrifice was not in vain.

This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.
