'Lacks Headroom'

Some are reluctant to learn from the past, bc times never look exactly the same. Countries change, protagonists, technology. The key reason to look back, though, is one constant: humans remain the same. We are still guided by the same instincts & weaknesses.

Farage: "We want to scrap postal voting except for people who genuinely need it."

"Didn't you vote by post at the last election?" Nigel

Farage: "I did yeah.." 🤦

Gavin Newsom, "Donald Trump spent more time talking about his ballroom than the death of four service members for his Iran war"

Punch, a baby Japanese macaque, cuddling with a plushy orangutan toy.

An 11-year-old watched a viral monkey video and didn’t just say “aww”. Amaya Edwards asked whether Punch is truly living as a Japanese macaque should – and whether we’re looking closely enough.

Mick Lynch "Nigel Farage is a racist."

An important reminder

She never lived to see this moment, but it’s worth remembering that none of this would have happened without Virginia Giuffre.

She had the courage to speak out against power and privilege when it was just her word against Andrew’s.

Thanks to her, justice & accountability may finally have its day.

My goodness, I missed this by @michaelspicer.bsky.social. It is as near to perfect as a thing can get. I actually did an honest-to-Betsie spit-take at the Poundland joke. And the meta coda is out of this world.

People kept telling me this is exactly the old Muppet Show and they were absolutely correct. A pure joy to watch. (And I'm VERY picky about my muppet canon.)

The contrast between the “reputation-laundering” nature of the home-life feature and the breaking legal scandal in Murdoch’s parasitic world is stark. Both occurred on the same day. #UKMedia

I deleted my post from before…

I thought it was fake

So I went to WH Smith and here it is

An unbelievable attempt to sanitise this man and normalise what’s he’s done.

"You should never overestimate the extent to which the BBC changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage, other far right extremists and the Tufton Street junktanks, while shutting out progressive voices."
