“The Epstein scandal is a gift to the far-right” - no, this in itself is a far-right talking point; just look at Epstein’s actual politics and look at who his actual friends were. It can’t be a gift to the far-right if it *directly implicates the far-right themselves*.

Gotta be time for Sesko to get a start now

I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

minor point of order since it keeps coming up, it's "Woke 2" and not "Woke 2.0". we're leaving tech industry bullshit behind too

This is a shocking move even for them.
People's homes are flooded and sewage is running down the streets cause of climate change and these clowns are deprioritizing doing anything about it.
The only thing they'll do is remove judicial reviews...

Today, Paul Murphy said that the Government are afraid to stand up to big tech, and Micheál Martin replied "How dare you? Who the hell do you think you are? That is a reprehensible assertion."

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

Micheál Martin always looks like he’s using every muscle in his body to not call whoever he is talking to a “peasant”

All of Michael Martin's statements these days are just "we can't deliver flood relief", "we can't deliver climate reform", "we can't deliver transport infrastructure", "we can't criticise the US"

What can you deliver

What is the point of you

Toto is so immensely dislikable

"There was simply no way to plan for this," says guy who ignored everyone urging him to plan for this. Every crisis in this country comes back to the idea it can't be fixed overnight, so we may as well not try at all

The Pitt got greenlit for a season 3, out next February, and the announcement has very funny comment from HBO chairman Casey Bloys that’s like “yeah, turns out if you just make a TV show like how we used to make TV shows you can have a 15+ episode season every year 🤷‍♂️”

It's almost like this is exactly what people have been saying for the last 5-10 years. Glad we blew up that ecosystem just to circle back to the obvious

Good riddance, Novak Djokovic. Had no business being in that final

Man, it's amazing how much the 38-year-old Novak Djokovic has left in the tank after not having to play a fourth-round match and having his quarterfinal opponent retire while beating him two sets to love

First week is very annoying - they keep putting the good matches on so early! But the second week works out kinda well for me. I like having some sport on at 9am

Sinner struggling to beat Djokovic after Musetti was comfortably better than him two days ago has me steaming. Musetti always just that one step away from getting that breakthrough result

We may not live in a just world, but there is at least some justice to Alex Zverev being the biggest choke artist in world sport

Incredible how few politicians there are ready to meet this moment against big tech. Still so many that don't even pretend to understand the issues at hand

I'll never forget when Ken Early said to him c.2017 that anyone who didn't know anything about football might think Mourinho would be a good appointment for Man United, and Neville had no idea how to respond. This is 100% the way he thinks about football managers

me, absolutely not misremembering anything: i could be misremembering that

I cannot recommend doing this strongly enough. Like, in general, for always. I turned off autoplay a few years ago on Twitter just so I could get another video to play and then realised I had absolutely no good reason to ever turn it back on again

Vince Gilligan, R.E.M, 700 other artists sign open letter condemning AI "theft" Vince Gilligan, R.E.M, 700 other artists sign open letter condemning AI "theft"

"Stealing our work is not innovation. It’s not progress. It’s theft – plain and simple."

If there's one thing I know about us Europeans hating Americans, it's that we never needed an excuse

Neville insisting Carrick can't be permanent manager even if he wins every game is so funny. I think that'd make him a pretty good candidate!

I'm not saying they need to be equal tbf!

But because I can do it, I just think pros should be able to as well. I'm crap like

Professional footballers shouldn't have weak foots

Tweet exchange in which a photo of Anne Hathaway is posted by @TheRoyalSerf, to which user @VvSchweetz24 replies "@grok...do your thing. @Grok replies: Anne Hathaway isn't Jewish; she was raised Catholic but left the church. She married Adam Shulman (who is Jewish) in 2012 and celebrates Jewish holidays with their kids. SHe's played Jewish roles, like in "Armageddon Time."

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

It’s an absolute stain on the whole league that this is still up in the air
