Hey genie, just the one, okay... Disband all war machine budgets Worldwide, and pump all that cash into climate change solutions. Thanks 👍🏻

Still here for it guys, keep pulling those straws... #FIFA #Outfantino

Infantino KerPlunk, I am here for it 🍿 and 👏🏻 UEFA, you've played a blinder over the last month or so.

I don't think the Republicans' pure bullshitting with a straight face is an act. It reeks of genuine Koreshean cult business to me.

Sen. Tim Scott: "President Trump has done something no other president in the history of our country said yes to, which is complying to the ethics strategy and standard for all elected officials. We've never had a president ever say yes to that." 🙃

Superb piece of investigative journalism, as expected from @bylinetimes.bsky.social So many dots connected. A telling silence from Cam. Hope you're pushing this as a deterrent @ox.ac.uk , might help a little if you're struggling for cash. Where do uni's gazillions of pounds go btw? Mismanaged much

EXCLUSIVE: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche, he has now submitted to a federal judge unredacted emails & documents for the court’s review. I walk through the documents & explain how Blanche continues to violate the court order and the Epstein Files Transparency Act. youtu.be/oAEHQXlYWK0?...

Sarah Storey's a phenomenal pundit. Taking us right behind the curtain of cycling, with heaps of science, physiology, techniques and sick bucket knowledge + charisma 🙌🏻🤌🏻 #CommonwealthGames

Our criteria for success are disastrously skewed. In my view, a successful person is one who does more good than harm, on any scale. On this measure, most billionaires are massive failures, while humble folk in my neighbourhood who look after other people are highly successful.

It's fascinating to watch commentators who sat completely silently for a decade as the Conservative Government changed its leader four times in a row mid-term, now suddenly discover such a keen interest in the concepts of 'mandates' and 'legitimacy'

This is the only 'US war on Iran' headline across the whole front page of the BBC News app right now, and it's not near the top. That's pretty wild, considering how much is going on. Thank F for @meidastouch.com 🙌🏻

For some reason our media are not reporting this, those that cover the story focus on damages - that’s mis or dis reporting in my view - the story here is a new duty of fairness on the press, enforceable in law - and it will protect everyone in our country.

Anybody else's teeth itch when they hear Trump or associates say "...slash" , "...gash" or "...gusher" ?

Trump: "We drained the beautiful 'Reflecting Pool' today in order to fix the scars and damage that was done by the Vandals 2 weeks ago. We wanted to wait until after July 4. The slashes were 300 yards long, and the floor of the pool was cut and then pulled upward, with great force, by these thugs."

We have to ask ourselves how we made British (and American!) politics the go-to career for spivs, chancers, hedge fund speculators, money launderers, crypto criminals, anti-vaxx scammers, Nazis, sex trafficking manosphere influencers and of course the whole Johnson coterie of gropers and stalkers

We're living in a World where Count Binface's pledges, demeanor and appearance are heaps more legitimate, genuine and attractive than the US President's Every second of every hour, until something gives, which it will.

Rutte behaves like a lovestruck goon when he's around the obscene tangerine tyrant. If it's not love, the bribes and / or kompromat must be heavyweight.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

holy shit -- Mark Rutte says Trump is "right" about Greenland "When it comes to defense of the arctic, he absolutely was right, because there is a huge risk that Russia and China will gain more and more access to the arctic"

Jesus. Seriously hope those nuclear codes are accompanied by easily understood pictures, or at least clear descriptions, like 'big bang', 'bigger bang' 'don't touch this bang Donald!'

Trump repeatedly refers to Zelenskyy as "President Putin"

I know it's a contentious debate, but I'd argue Messi is the best Lionel ever. Richie is probably his closest contender, but I reckon his Greatest Hits LP needed some filler. Not World Class #WC26 #Argentina #Lionels #Messi #Richie

In politics, we’re torn between ideals and practicalities, aspirations and realities, the world as we want it, and as we find it But one day a manifesto comes along that reconciles both in every pledge. A rare moment of clarity and hope

If the corporate media don't realize how mentally disordered Trump is, they're incompetent. If they do realize it but refuse to sound the alarm, they're engaged in a cover-up.

If Vanilla Ice is the only one to not pull out, does this mean he'll need to perform an hours long version of his greatest hit? #Freedom250 #MilliVanilliQuitTwice

Could have been 'Operation Don't Break This Rhythm' if he set off to China after listening to the B-Side #Sledgehammer #PeterGabriel

I know not giving a shit is his MO, but this is 'got a terminal illness / will be checking out soon anyway' levels. Makes the rush for all the batshit building vanity projects make a tiny bit more sense (by about 1%), if "he knows"

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

If Wes Streeting is the best brick to continue the project, it's probably worth restarting the house build from the foundations #KeirStarmer

Hearing a lot of Labour Party big heads evade a lot of very pertinent questions, in favour of dishing out cliche, corporate spiel. If you don't realise that's a major part of your problem, you really are in a spot of bother. John McDonnell aside, 👏🏻 for the honesty, not hard is it.

Just heard someone chatting about door-stepping for Labour and not "... understanding the anger towards Starmer... Try Maintaining austerity / Permitting & enabling genocide / Fighting against people protesting genocide / Employing a member of the Epstein Class / Consistent indecision for starters.
