Breaking News šØ Trump tells the truth. "We have a lot of stupid people in this country running things."
Every election is a sort of collective entrance exam into the future. It occasionally happens that populations fail the exam. But for the US to fail essentially a resit of its 2016 exam, featuring the same questions, having studied the answers for eight years, is much rarer and pretty unforgivable.
But it is written!
š± Itās my own fault. I should never have joined the local extreme naked jogging club.
Iāve just looked in the Thread archives* and it is written in the scrolls that when Bloke first called out the sacred bingo numbers in the Dog & Handbag, she called out number two and Rachel rose up, threw a bottle at Bloke, and shouted āNeilās a pile of poo!ā *the holy waste bin
Iām just trying to be positive.
It was a tight squeeze for me to get in. Iāve never been the same since I let myself down.
Morning!
Iām innocent. Iām only repeating what Mary said. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWMf...

Will There Ever Be Another You by Patricia Lockwood review ā long Covid from the inside
In private eye last week and Labour still have the same guidance in place in our hospitals 5 years on. We are still handwashing for a predominantly airborne virus.
Small boats: TV coverage - day after day after day after day.... PPE scandal: TV coverage - let's stick this powerful, enraging documentary on at quarter past ten on a Sunday night.
Kamala Harris: "We used to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators. That's what we're dealing with right now in Donald Trump. And these titans of industry and not speaking up ... at some point they've gotta stand up."
I heard weāll be sucked off around four oāclock.
āIn sorrow thou shalt bring forth childrenā
Thatās slanderous!
He had me at āThereās nothing much to sayā
Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.
Trump: "I think I can say there are certain groups of people that don't take vaccines and don't take any pills that have no autism. Does that tell you something? Is that a correct statement, by the way? ... I'm not so careful with what I say."
Hmm ā¦. I missed your reply and said the same* *orzo she says
I never do. I have no pride, orzo they say.
Iām not bothered now as itās pasta nine oāclocka.
You could have invited me round. Iām cannelloni sitting here by myself ā¦
We donāt care* *posted from The Laughing Turnip while waiting for our pudding
Politico - the Lib Dems have "quietly ditched their 2045 net zero target ā instead aligning with the Labour governmentās 2050 agenda." "Members passed a little-noticed motion during...over the weekend replacing the target that has been in place since 2019." It will now become official policy.
2050 yeah, no. Disappointing. Would have been better to keep to it and demand action on the climate emergency, or weāre not going to make it to 2050. Climate change doesnāt care what targets politicians set.
Labour have branded Nigel Farageās migration attacks "unfunded, unworkable and falling apart in real time." And the classic: "Unserious". They seem very reluctant to say "immoral" or "wrong".
This is an extraordinary piece of telly. Utterly damming of the corruption of the last Conservative Government - and of our political and legal systems which have failed even to aspire to holding those chancers to account. Available to watch on ITVX. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?
For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR. This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA
Keir Starmerās spokesperson asked for the PM's response to Nigel Farageās plan to deport hundreds of thousands of people living and working completely legally in the UK, replies that he thinks it is āunworkableā and āunfundedā. So his objection is that theyāve got their sums wrong
they're not even bringing a knife to a gun fight. they're bringing one of those joke guns which fires out a hankie reading "Bang" except it doesn't read "Bang" it reads "he's right, vote for us", this metaphor doesn't work at all I know I'm just really fucking mad okay
Reform's plans aim to destroy this country They're willing to plough through the people I love and call friends in order to raze this country to the ground This cannot stand
Yet again, Farage is the shit stain on the face of my country He goes abroad to spread his lies and now he's spreading lies here as well, with a well oiled media at his back This cannot stand At a bare minimum people should complain to their MPs at the government's disappointing response
Have you found the meeting place for tomorrowās Rapture yet? What time are we all going to get sucked off?
I've kept telling you, you cannot cede any ground to them

My ex mother-in-law (who I later found out was terrified of birds) once shoved a long stick in my hand and shut me in her bathroom, screaming āPoke it out! Poke it out!ā I thought she must have mistaken me for a plumber, until I saw a confused little sparrow sitting in the sink.
Iām laridophobic (seagulls) and not only because they nick your chips.
If you go to Dr Lucky Tranās account, youāll find a lot about it, eg., the post below. bsky.app/profile/luck...
Ed Davey at Lib Dem conference Q&A, asked about the far right: "No doubt there were some people on the [Tommy Robinson] protest who were big followers of his. Robinson wants a far right agenda which sows division and hatred, and we should oppose that with every bone in our body, & all we stand for."
Ed Davey: "Elon Musk is a danger to this country...He said civil war is inevitable...He said our democratically elected government should be overthrown. He's incited violence "He isn't interested in Britain and the British people. He's interested in his own economic interest, his own bank account."
Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"
#UKHSA is far worse. At least in the US kids can be vaccinated and many states are now ignoring federal advice and offering vaccinations for all. Eligibility here is pathetic, and reduced year on year.
This would be hilarious if it wasnāt so tragic. What the fck does he think causes this chronic disease epidemic, suffered by 400m globally? Cognitive impairment is one of the results of repeated Covid infections - what weāre witnessing right here. There Is No Herd Immunity Without Vaccination
Letās pray he gets around to sorting out The Big-Enders and Little-Enders, or weāll all end up having to open our boiled eggs at the big end. It doesnāt even bear thinking about.
āCambodia and Armenia ā¦. think about thatā
Proud to contribute frontline testimony to tonight's enraging @itvx.com documentary "The Covid Contracts: Follow the Money". Boris Johnson's govt squandered Ā£8.7 billion on unusable PPE, while grifters like Michelle Mone made millions. Tonight, 10.15pm, ITV1. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
āIf you want bases, we are ready to fight you for another 20 years,ā Afghan Defense Minister Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid warned America in response to Trumpās demand to take over Bagram Airbase. Afghans have ānever accepted foreign troops on their territoryā he said in an address.
Funny thing going around American FB.
And didnāt pretend not to hear the question as he usually does.
#Butterflies giving this one another go. This is what I would like to see any UK leader espousing. We need a new approach to our politics, one explicitly reinforcing Democracy & Universal Human Rights & taking on those who seek to undermine the former & remove the latter. #DumpTrump Foil #Farage
He could list every "unfair" joke any comedian made about him on network television in the last hour, but apparently he knows nothing about his Border Czar filmed taking brown paper bags of cash bribes all over every news channel.
Absolutely. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
ā¦ outside his girlfriendās Ā£900k new house that he definitely didnāt pay for to avoid stamp duty ā¦
Like turning down an invite to attend a state banquet given to honour an attention-grabbing (and pussy-grabbing) convicted felon and rapist.
Iām only surprised this headline didnāt finish with āand why this is all good for Nigel Farageā

Yes, that was quite uncalled for. And anyway, why not both?
Flippinā eck. Hope no one mentions french fries.
I have rarely seen such unadulterated bollocks. I loved Twitter, it was so important for my job. Then a mad megalomaniac took it over and made it so no one would see my posts unless I paid him money - and even if I did that I would be submerged in nazi hate. But yeah this is our fault.
I feel as if Iāve missed a whole heap of potato-related announcements. Weāve gone from no potatoes straight to oven chips?
Itās so clear he doesnāt know what autism is, by the way he has to keep practising and repeating the word. The stupidest man in the world.
I donāt think they deserve more of a response than this:
Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "Al Gore's nonsense is exactly what got us in this position. He started peddled climate nonsense 20 years ago -- the arctic was gonna have no ice anymore 10 years ago! Well, this year we had well more ice than we had 10 years ago in the arctic."
People in public life should be imprisoned for deliberately misleading the public. The climate emergency is irrefutable. Itās not a matter of opinion or free speech.
I once found myself accidentally stuck behind the Leperās Gate after curfew and had to bribe the guards. It cost me an arm and a leg to get out.
Some of us occasionally get on the wrong bus and end up in WĆ¼lferhampton.
It was very strict. We were often grounded for that.
Heās let himself down.
Crockett: "If I had one issue with the Biden/Harris administration, it is the fact that they did not move forward and make sure that this man was put where he should've been put ... I never had a defended that had 34 convictions for felonies and did not spend one day in jail. Never in my life."
They just let him ramble on because everyone wants to go home and/or drink themselves into oblivion.
Donald Trump boasts that he ended the war between āAzerbaijan and Albania". Azerbaijan and Albania have never been at war together.
IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Cut your nails next time.

I may have called her that a few times since ā¦
ššš I wouldnāt take it personally. When Bloke first met me she laughed hysterically and fainted.
This reminds me of the time I visited you three @iammardikins.bsky.social @nickynoo007.bsky.social @colonelescargot.bsky.social
Though itās common in Yorkshire to use the contraction ācuntā for ācouldnātā without batting an eyelid.
āZounds! It even surpriseth me.
Sometimes a vowel makes a big difference. I was about ten when I discovered - at the dinner table - that twat wasnāt the same as twit. Stunned silence followed by a good slap when I called my sister a twat.
Godās teeth! Surely itās wazzock?
This is the best yet š¹š¹š¹
