Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’
they don't want you to joke about a man's death but then they're out there saying things like this
For UK citizens EU citizenship is now a privilege www.bbc.com/news/article...
It really is like Nixon live blogging Watergate and the journalism establishment saying eh, what can you do
At some point in the last 30 yrs "Hollywood" stopped being a mirror to America & American became a mirror to Hollywood Never get high on your own supply
A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like
I can say, I never imagined the GOP would go along with eviscerating the first amendment’s freedom of speech. Sadly I’m not confused why… it about power and not principle. The Democrats will be in charge again someday. And we will see the GOP’s selective outrage re-emerge.
Tom Homan took a bag of cash from an undercover FBI agent the right way. by Ezra Klein
meanwhile costco was all “DEI is good and we’re keeping it, fuck you” and they’re now basically printing money
I mean who doesn't want an EU passport - what a cvnt
Brexit: the unforgivably selfish arseholery of those who lied about what it really meant for the country while dodging the cost, hassle and restrictions they inflicted on everyone else. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
Nothing screams “small government, free speech warrior” like the FCC chair rocking state-mandated jewelry of a convicted felon. Brendan Carr went from pretending to guard the First Amendment to cosplaying as Trump’s mall cop.
Insert McKinsey "You can't manage what you don't measure" Good times
What I don't get is the lack of imagination It's such a cheap ripoff of Nazi Germany Where is the originality Just feels so cheap
Last place aversion www.scientificamerican.com/article/occu...
Heads they win tails you lose
These people want to hurt others more than they want to help themselves and their own families. That all-consuming hate is MAGA. When you realize it, all their irrational behaviour makes sense.
"last place aversion" The instinct that says punch down

Blessed are the bubble dwellers
Doodled on a napkin - the Laffer Curve Literally drove US economic policy for 25 years Also see the "great Kanas experiment"

It will somehow be liberals fault
Simply a stenographer
Yep, & quite a few of our supermarkets look like 1970's cash & carry's With random displays of alcohol everywhere Reduced choice, reduced quality (fruit & veg has noticeably degraded in quality) All at a higher price
i just think that ship has sailed
👏👏 Former Labour leader Neil Kinnock has told Sir Keir Starmer it is “time to look at rejoining” the EU to ease the country’s economic woes and get a grip on small boat crisis. Kinnock, led Labour 1983 to 1992, said UK could no longer afford the “huge self-inflicted losses” created by leaving EU
Their hypocrisy is the point, they don't care that you point it out In fact the fact that you point it out & nothing gets done about it Strengthens their resolve in continuing with this hypocritical bullshit Why stop, there is no sanction
I have to say I have little time for any RW pundit / Politician Maybe Carrington / Heseltine The rest are just slippery oily vindictive grifting shysters Some are simply better at hiding than others aka Cameron The tragedy of the UK media is they continually soft soap these vicious cvnts
^ this the need for conflict is pernicious a really good friend was a panelist on a sports phone in radio show a few yrs ago His fellow panelist (well known sportsman) said to him "You really need to be more confrontational, have strong opinions even if they are wrong" "Good 4 engagement"
Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.
I will believe " Tommeh" is respectable when Camilla et al invite him around for drinks & canapés at either of her homes, presumably in NHG & the Cotswolds
& by endless gullible racist marks in the UK via his neverending "crowd funders"
Funded in part by gullible racist marks
It's just quite cringy that they want you to like them
Your very own De-Nazification program
& you can't just call it out for being risible bullshit No, now you have to enter into a debate about it Usually with the "facts don't care about your feelings" bro's
Sort of the free market of gun violence at work Good job USA
It would be kind of hilarious if Trump realized the Kimmel thing was backfiring and fired Brendan Carr.
Yup some ppl love kicking down It somehow makes them feel better A phenomena called "Last place aversion"
We have experienced that with Brexit - EU consumers never came back to buying from UK (small) businesses Wanton economic vandalism
Nice short video from a farmer explaining why farmers voted for Trump & why they lie about "not being told about tariffs" etc The TLDR The literally "bet the farm" on Trump
They literally "bet the farm"
Ex-Trump White House Attorney Ty Cobb: “Trump is waging war on people who offend him… I think it will take at least a generation for 🇺🇸 to regain the freedoms we enjoyed 9 months ago.”

Check this man's hard drive
I remember a time when this guy would have just been the town weirdo not your freaking Congressman
Much like all his ventures
Scenes from the confluence of an AI bubble and crony capitalism: xAI is currently raising $10 billion at a valuation of $200 billion while the data annotation team is run by a college kid. Much prudent investment. Very wisdom of the market. futurism.com/elon-musk-co...
The US reversing into the future
Hypocrisy is part of the Shtick
I was listening to a history podcast today on my dog walk & Apparently the SS managed to cobble together a (small) English division of the Waffen SS - the St George Division It was disbanded because "The English - dressed in SS uniforms repeatedly started punch ups in local bars & restaurants"
They wouldn't even get into a clown show
Fired for refusing to fabricate evidence to help get someone else fired. That’s where we are.
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (arguably the most basic law governing the universe) agrees with you
Well the Nazi's also used the "only following orders" defence It didn't work then either
This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem
Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."
I think they (the UK's media & political class) are simply embarrassed by it all They just want the Brexit turd flushed away - but it won't, it's bobbing about in the bowel
Yes - my wife would say, when she could see me agitated "Get off twitter" Glad I did, completely deleted my account over a year ago, I couldn't even be bothered to export my data
We need to be very clear about this. Rising Christian nationalism is a threat to us all. humanists.uk/2025/09/17/r...

Absolutely criminal what Brexshit did to small businesses My wife worked part time at a UK based luxury travel goods company (importing from Spain) It was cut off at the knees by Brexit - no longer trading in the UK
This is a great cover.
Public finances are a bit knackered due to low VAT receipts. Could I suggest a Treasury official and an HMRC official pop out of their Whitehall offices on their lunch break and carry out a few symbolic spot checks on long-trading gift shops not charging it? www.londoncentric.media/p/asf-aziz-l...
Brilliant
I maybe have too free of a morning.
Or "how many extra weeks wait are you willing to endure over a hip replacement to get migration down"
It's the rest of the world I often feel sorry for - not having the benefit of my views on whatever I am replying to Lost like tears in the rain :-)
It usually does it to me when I am writing a reply - & half way thru need to check a fact on the www Swipe back & boom 🤪 It reloads & I can't find the post I was replying too A pretty 1st world problem but irritating
With about as much weight as a Santa Xmas list
but by his own views shouldn't she stay at home with the kids /s
Yes, this happens to me (Android) not always though
Yes, you can always tell when employment in the tech sector is getting squeezed by an increase in LinkedIn activity It's a great proxy for that
Tricky because that's exactly what they are
"not those boundaries"
Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:
Reminder: The existence of these in most Scottish supermarkets and corner shops is proof that anyone shilling for the notion that multiculturalism can't work on this island is a charlatan
The loser energy that radiates off "it's illegal not to like me" shit like this is palpable bsky.app/profile/zack...
“When was Joe Biden president?” remains the most difficult question in politics
With you brother, I was swimming in Jesus Green Lido (in the fast lane - suits you!!l) I was overtaking someone - nice & steady & Some young fvcking blade overtook us both swimming in-between me & said slow(ish) person I mean wtf

Even when you’re not directly influenced by propaganda, it influences what you perceive as public opinion; and this is 1,000x worse for elected officials.
Lol, Ed Balls It's all just banter to these cvnts I obviously include the entire Tory / reform party & most of the Labour party They sit in the green room swapping anecdotes about school fees, rental properties & restaurants in NHG
"we need to burn this village to the ground to save it" Same as it ever was
The simple fact that "mortgages & school fees need to be paid" Explains a lot
"blessed are the lawyers"
its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project
Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...
Nazis made Jews dig their own graves - so this tracks
You can't help thinking an orange jumpsuit & the perp walk might concentrate the mind
Netanyahu: ‘These So-Called Genocide Experts Have Probably Never Committed A Genocide In Their Lives’
on a serious note, about 15 yrs ago I said to my wife "U know I have discovered this secret that makes me soo productive, it amazing" "what is it" "I make a task list every morning" she looked at me (she is the mother of 5 children etc) with utter disdain "How do you think i run 7 pps lives?"
i think truth be told we always knew there was no such thing as RW / Conservative comedy they simply lack the grace, imagination & humanity
This guy will now decide which jokes are appropriate.
Swalwell: There’s going to be a Democratic majority in just over a year. To the FCC chairperson and anyone in involved in these dirty deals: get a lawyer and save your records because you’re going to be in this room answering questions
