X-tinction - the life and death of the Twitter phenomenon....

And why it was finally time to leave.

PE bought hospitals, GP practices, nursing homes.

Cut wages, staff, investment, care; load with debt; extract profits; deaths, injuries rise.

Why is UK govt handing healthcare to PE/corporations?

Say NO to privatisation of the NHS.

How on Earth is that man still in a job?

Conversation with a family member where they ask me about “riots” in Portland. I respond that there are no riots with an OPB article, to which I’m told that I’m “drinking the cool aid” and that trump is going to finally take control once the judge is “overturned”.

Conversation with the family member where I am told to keep my “sensible WV values” in mind.

This is where we are at as a country, by the way, LOL

CNN is using a photo from the 1992 Los Angeles riots for an article explaining why Trump wants to deploy national guard troops to Portland:

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”

More shocking than the bollocks spouted by a caller on Tom Swarbrick on @lbc.co.uk was his failure to challenge it

”You go on a left pro-Palestinian & take out a union jack and they’ll rip you apart”

There were union jacks on the last pro-Palestinian march I went on an nobody was ripped apart

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

Bless Dr. Jane Goodall’s Final Message To Humanity In which she tells us who she'd launch into space.

Please watch her final words to us all. They are beautiful and have given me a grounding sort of hope. Maybe they’ll help you too.

They literally just fought a Supreme Court case for the right to racially profile. It was in the news!

Been seeing this a lot lately. MAGA folks calling judges Trump appointed “leftist” the moment they rule against him for unconstitutional orders. Funny how quickly “loyalty” turns into “betrayal” when the law doesn’t bend their way.

22 Americans are still locked in an Israeli prison.

Donald Trump is refusing to bring them back to the USA.

America First, except he's got to do whatever Netanyahu tells him.

Gary Neville, "Brexit has had a devastating impact on this country"

"The messaging is getting dangerous"

"All these idiots out there spreading hate speech in any form, abuse in any form, we must stop promoting them"

"And get back to a country of love, peace and harmony"

"And become a team again"

BBC accused of 'extraordinary' anti-Green bias after party say the Laura Kuenssberg Show scrapped a promised interview with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on Sunday.

Green sources say the show also refused to interview Polanski after he was elected as leader last month

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

For shame. 😡

She was arrested for holding a sign reading:

“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”

How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

World's most moral army beats tiny autistic girl for trying to feed hungry babies The world’s most moral army overcame a terrifying confrontation with the terrorist leader known as Greta Thunberg when they captured the Global Sumud Flotilla.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

Greta Thunberg being eligible for the Nobel Prize is not only a slap in the face to the Orange Baby, but it would be poetic justice for a woman of peace and caring to win out over a man of hate and conflict. She demonstrates the deep instinct of humanity when money is not involved.

“There’s a baby!”

Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

The problem was that 52% of voters did not have to be kicked in the head by a horse to believe conman Nigel Farage.

Here’s hoping that when it comes to the crunch they won’t allow Farage and Reform to con them yet again.

This is what Farage and Badenoch want to see on our streets.
