Kehinde Andrews: "Its not that the far right have co-opted the flag, its the fact we don't seem to understand what this country is & the history of these symbols... the reason the far right picks up these flags.. is because these flags represent the racism they are putting out"

Overnight Israel bombed a media tent, killing one journalist and critically injuring others.

Israel is a terrorist state.

Among the lost positives consigned to the dusty corners of the dictionary is ‘reck’, meaning ‘care’, ‘heed’, and ‘consideration’. Which means we can be reckful instead of reckless (and feckful, gormful, ruthful, ept, kempt, couth, consolate, and many more).

One practical reason it’s so important to draw the white supremacist and neo-Nazi ideology of Musk and Vance into the open is that it’s totally fatal to their political coalition. Re-polarizing nonwhite Americans against the GOP, as happened in the 1960s, is death for the party in modern America.

the world they want is one where you're either unemployed or work an almost no wage job, you have almost no political input or self determination and you’re happy about it because you can get a t-shirt off temu for a $1

Always important to remember, when it happened, everyone knew how bad it was. They all needed time to create a web of justifications and excuses to justify or dismiss the gravity of it. The incoming president led a criminal attempt to overthrow the republic.

Sunderland head for Sheffield United tonight - these lads all wore both sets of red and white stripes at some stage in their careers... #SAFC.

the "an average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid is actually just a statistical error. an average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in a cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted
