That @maddow.msnbc.com video about Canada? Fake. And more dangerous than you think.

This is one you made earlier, isn't it?

My God we're doomed. Trump's back to thinking Zelensky's the aggressor, even before Putin welcomes him to the Alaskan Oblast. #bbcpm

The Worst Witch TV series does this, pretty much.

The IDF didn't give you an interview. The Israeli government didn't give you an interview.
You in no way owe them the courtesy of reading out their dissembling statement from *a year ago*. That's not news, and it's not a response. #wato

Waterstones.com (and other bookshops) have an online shop front too! #youandyours

I'll try just once. If as you say Hamas hates the Palestinians more than they hate the Israelis, then they're not going to surrender to save them, are they? And starving and bombing the civilian population to death isn't going to make them.
It's a nonsensical post.

There's so many eras of them not doing it, though. By the end, they were completely flat, yes; but they hadn't done it while they did whatever Brexit was, they hadn't done it while they dealt with Johnson's psychodrama (apart from mostly allowing pandemic government to happen). Used to not governing

'Retired pilot' claimed Trump's plane flew to Epstein's island 37 times. Here are the facts U.S. President Donald Trump said in January he had never visited the late financier and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein's island.

It has been, it's specious. www.snopes.com/news/2025/08...

Why does it fall back? It can't have been "easy historic cases" because that wouldn't have been in these figures which are about people new in the system.

It's uhm good to be reminded that while Labour have proven terrible at politics, the Tories for the most part just couldn't do the actual job at all.

Whatever your beliefs or commitments, there isn't a level on which this response isn't stupid.
Do you always contradict yourself from one word to the next, or is it only when you're justifying the starvation of a people?

Just got an alert on my phone telling me what to do to make sure I "don't miss a single Skype call!"
😬 Has nobody told them?

Horseshoe politics in the sense, once again, that they've all been hit in the head with a bag of horseshoes.

Think Cats, but in space and with only enough costumes for one cat.

When I was first involved with recruiting coders, I was amazed by the test my boss suggested we use (logic puzzles, a bit of pseudocode, all very very easy). "We're getting people with degrees in programming, this won't test anyone!" How wrong I was.

Does suggest one might find a way to be *blunter still* 😮

Wait, if they just want to dance in the street to Mike Skinner once in a while and wave some flags, that's fine. Do they know that that's fine? You don't need to be racists to do that, lads. There's no illegal deliveroo drivers turning up in small boats to stop you.

We'll, if they're Bob Jenrick's daughter, they're people.

(Women do sometimes mention their sons when they talk about their fears or hopes for young men in the world; but usually to say what they've *learnt* from their experience of sons, and rather beyond "some men are people too, y'know")

Still going with suffocation by knife-abetted crucifixion, myself.

However many crazy Christian fascists you've seen, this interview is still jaw-dropping, and would be even if it hadn't been tweeted approvingly by the man's disciple, Pete Hegseth.

The Man Who Didn't Have A Legitimate Concern

Not seeing that, meaning you don't follow what I'm saying? I know it's true from knowing just such people. If you're a woke lefty, you're not one of them.

Maybe they'll come back, but in the meantime: there are people who consider themselves on the left, in the UK at least, whose media diet was infiltrated first by RT, and then its proxies, and whose politics are now what the Kremlin chooses for them. Old school tankies or not.

Pretty sure this is precisely where the disagreement lies.

I really don't get all the confident criticism here. The trick is cool, and the painting remains entirely undiminished

There And Back Again from the Lord of the Rings - it's to be expected it was much corrupted by the time it was published as The Hobbit.

Also the blurring of the first and second amendments. Guns are protest and murder is speech.
