Irish. Once told by a manager “I didn’t “play the game.” I know what the game is, I just don’t want to play it. Arsenal fan through the bad times. Loves cats. 💚☘️

It used to be the case what the US health secretary would be a name you’d vaguely recognise on the news. If you took the time to look them up in Wikipedia, you’d see that they’d had an impressive career up to that point even if you didn’t share their politics.

Saying that a culture or a people “have no literature” is a very special kind of dogshit take. He thinks there is none because he does not know any. But he probably doesn’t know any Ukrainian literature or Bulgarian literature either. Would he announce to the world that they have no literature?

RFK Jr, on the other hand, has won all those prizes and he did it without any connections or economic head start.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Ohio’s largest paper, Cleveland’s Plain Dealer, broke its own no-endorsement policy to back Amy Acton for governor, saying it “cannot remain silent” after Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad used her childhood abuse against her. Election Day is Nov. 3. #OhioGovernor #Ohio #VoteBlue

"We are changing who is going to write the laws in the next Congress, and the next Congress, and the next Congress." STANDING AGAINST GENOCIDE IS GOOD POLICY AND GOOD POLITICS!

There is a false nostalgia here. The Victorians weren't happy with the old system and tried without success to free us from the tedious calculations needed when using imperial measures and £sd. metricviews.uk/2025/07/15/p...

So I just googled Jenricks age and he’s younger than me! Born in 82 so people should definitely quiz him on imperial measurements as he would have never been taught them and won’t have a clue

We started metrication in 1965. How old are the people this policy is supposed to be appealing to?

Jenrick has set out how Reform would maximise our “Brexit freedoms”. And this is their list. This is the very best they can come up with. “Re-legalise imperial units” It’s truly pathetic that this is the pinnacle of their Brexit fever dream. And that anyone would still back this ruinous idiocy…

Comey: Well, they're back again. It would almost be funny if it weren't such an appalling abuse of the DOJ. One that we cannot become numb to. Nothing's changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid of these people. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary.

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.

Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Vivek can duck a reporter. Ducking Michael Pogue, his 8th grade teacher, takes real talent. Pogue drove to Cincinnati with a sign demanding a full retraction and apology for Dr. Acton, and Vivek left before they could talk. Somebody call the principal. TY to Matt Rein!

Police attack LDH observers. LDH is the French equivalent of Human Rights Watch.

À Montpellier, un policier attaque les observateur·ices de la LDH. Ces violences envers les observateur·ices en disent long sur la volonté de la police d’empêcher de documenter leurs pratiques violentes.
