It’s dems, greens, wokists and lubruls running the whole anti-oil and anti-car agenda. The country needs “energy security”, uh, NOW, or summat.

“Leadership” is doing a lot of work in that headline.
Who profits? A significant portion of the electorate, and the administration, is addicted to generating or consuming outrage - the attention economy demands it. And RFK is especially good at generating outrage.
Whats wrong? A significant portion of the electorate, as well as the administration, is addicted to the generation or consumption of outrage.
The cruelty is the point.

Up there with “by automatic operation of law”.
Yay! Finally found a use for AI!
The color of blood is red.
Totally unexpected for a guy who organised an insurrection in the capital, to try to control the capital’s cops as soon as he can.
You're saying 'Strictly' as though it's something I should know? *shrugs*
Not sure this silly chest-thumping helps anybody.
Saw one of those things beside me and I’d evacuate spectacularly.
But its still Leningrad in Putin’s mind. Trump can only echo what he last heard.
Going to need to know what it is before a discourse can be provoked! Is that Finbarr’s in the background?
Can you give an exact geographical location for that, please? Links and stonework suggest it might be at the Trinity Long Room, just near the Dawson Street entrance to TCD. Thanks.
“Murder, violence and theft good with us, so long as it’s backed by aggression” announced nobody ever before.
Magnificent, simply magnificent.
Looking at Agent Orange, why not the Nobel Prize for Chemistry too?
Clouds look very angry.
Does he know where Israel is?
When I die, I want four caryatids holding up my roof too!
The Bel Prize. 🔔
Looking at his orange face, perhaps somebody could nominate him for the Nobel in Chemistry too?

Shit-stirring shit-stirrer can go stir shit elsewhere.
«Просто замечательно!», as the great Nikolai Ivanovich would have said.
With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.
Been years since I, or anyone I know, was threatened by a grue. But good to know that rogueish fear is still out there.
Shocking to think that these people can vote as well.
Chuck Dianetics into a volcano? Works for me.
Bruce Schneier’s useful summary on why this is a uniformly crap idea: www.schneier.com/blog/archive...
Great to see Mr Tierney reopening the great “are cigarettes really bad” debate after all this time.
Must be so hard to speak through those collagen thingies on her face.
Am morbidly thrilled to see that yes, you are quite correct 😬
“Several years”? Rank amateur! From the 21st birthday party of a good friend, I still have a bottle of Heineken which is now 36 years old. He’s still a good friend. The bottle and it’s now-revolting contents, rather less so.
As always, check the actual scientific paper and not the inaccurate summary written by less careful people. Paper at www.nature.com/articles/s41... states, page 1, that the rate checked was 0.6 to 57 grams of processed meat per day which certainly does include the <365 hot dogs per year cohort.
why so much? Because it’s easy to produce, low consequence and clickbaity opinion. Fact-based reporting is much harder.

The gun barrel is surprisingly erect.
I suggest you should draw up terms of reference, convene a committee and set them the task. To ensure durability, the committee's decision would need to be final, binding and unanimous, of course.
Quality insult.
Ye gods, that was terrifying.
You have me intrigued - I thought only Star Trek did parallel universes.
Agreed. Plus it’s “fewer”, not “less” 😊
Screenshot appears partially faked but the ACLU did post the attached text: bsky.app/profile/aclu...
See the title page: “adopted by the Council for Democratic Elections at its 19th meeting (Venice, 16 December 2006) and the Venice Commission at its 70th plenary session (Venice, 16-17 March 2007)”.
See the Venice Convention on Referendums, item III.8, to which convention the UK is/was a signatory, and which convention the Tories merrily ignored for short-term electoral gain at the cost of the economy and the UK’s relationships with its neighbours. www.venice.coe.int/webforms/doc...
Sloppy thinking. Please check item III.8 “Effect of Referendums” of the Venice Convention on Good Practice of Referendums, to which the UK is (was?) a signatory, and adherence to which may well have prevented the resulting Brexit clusterfu*k. www.venice.coe.int/webforms/doc...
Small point, but I believe “vaccine skepticism” and “vaccine critic” should be replaced with “vaccine denial” and “vaccine denier”. The former words lend plausibility to disinformation, while the latter are accurate. Thank you for your work.
It’s not “vaccine skepticism”, it’s “vaccine denial” - in this game, words matter.

Quality geeking right there. I intend to use “snood” at every possible opportunity from now on.
Where’s the link to drop you some cash? I’m sure it’s in there somewhere 🤔 Greetz from Dublin, Ireland! 🇮🇪

Here’s RTE’s Claire Byrne doing a bit of the same to Farage: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSY7...
Were you in France?
Best religious gag ever right there at the end - delicious!
Excellent! Would be great to be able to see incoming aircraft just before the new radar is blown to kingdom come.
Αληθῶς Ανέστη! Христос воскрес! 🇺🇦
Hope turning it on isn’t subject to the “triple lock”.
I suppose you want to Plato the gallery?
Bit tired as it's 01:00 where I am - but I trust in a good night's sleep to fix it! I wish you the same!
Big need for “pharmacertikals” worldwide.
“Truthing”?
Splendid - now wondering if Colm could, for the good of the country, now do a piece on how to say 'Слава Україні'!
Thanks - haven't seen the excellent Chris Murphy before, but his point is good - #47 is erecting barriers principally to bully smaller economies to assure fealty and quite possibly to allow him to license exemptions for his personal benefit. See #47's parallel halting of FCPA enforcement.
Let’s trust the guy who couldn’t make a casino profitable!
Thanks - going to have to sit down and figure this one out.
Do you believe it's possible that the tariffs are intended to erect barriers to politically or financially disloyal suppliers while allowing for exemptions to politically or financially loyal suppliers?
Quality carbs!

Um, I’m not sure I follow fully. Do you know of a place where this idea is developed in greater detail?

Wondering who’s holding the cards now, and who’s dealing them.
As somebody once said about Brexit, it’s like watching your library being burned down by people who never read a book.
The use of the definite article in English is a translation holdover from the strange meaning of Ukraine and its associated grammar in Slavic languages. The name of the country in English is ‘Ukraine’ and not ‘The Ukraine’. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of...
Canada should announce a 500% tariff on orange face cream and black eyeliner.
McGregor and Trump? Aithnionn ciarog ciarog eile.
The link isn’t working for me…?
The lad’s got his finger on the pulse.
Photoshop or real? And if real, where?
That would assume that #47 has a plan which extends beyond taking a meathook to US allies for shit and giggles on daytime TV.
Добрый кназ - “good prince” - it’s an old Russian historical trope, updated for today’s needs.
Trump wishes to remake the USA in Russia’s image - one good king at the top, and its boyars all the way down.
