Airlines will not show this to prevent walkouts.

Reform is basically a suburban petrol station's DVD bin of Tory politicians.

The same people who said that the mass murder of children in schools was a sad but necessary price to enable citizens to bear arms and oppose tyranny are now saying that if you carry a gun it’s your fault if you’re murdered.

Wait - didn’t Kyle Rittenhouse do this and now owns a place on MAGA Mount Rushmore?

We have been told for years that regular mass shootings are a price we have to pay for the 2A to protect us from tyrannical govt. Today those exact same people who have told us this are applauding the *mere possession* of a permitted handgun being used to justify an execution by federal agents.

Just contacted my 2 GOP senators asking them to clarify whether the second amendment applies to everyone or just Republicans.

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.

It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

I wish Democrats would start just speaking the truth:

“ICE is killing American citizens in public for exercising their freedom of speech because Donald Trump wants to be a king.

This isn’t about immigration—Trump wants to make it illegal to oppose him, and to stay in power until he dies.”

Little bit of Spring? Yes certainly :)

Lets just be real about the wording.
This is what Nazis and sadists want the narrative to be.

"History will not look kindly upon______"

Damn history ... i don't look kindly upon it... we aint gotta wait

That's a line drawn for sure. I like that: "to stop pretending, to name reality". That is indeed just what is needed.

A brilliant speech by Canada's Mark Carney in Davos: "The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy...The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home & to act together."

100% this.

Hard to see how more wrong the geopolitical case for Brexit could have turned out

Ha, the boomers are like that phantom army in LOTR who have had enough.

Thank God there is video and we don’t have only Kristi Noem’s lies about this - which she likely got from the agents’ supervisor. If there were no videos, as is the case with many criminal incidents, just imagine how big the lies get.

Silent Night, sung at Midnight on Christmas Eve. Adam Lay Y-bounden is worth finding, we used to sing it at school and it's magical, a medieval carol. But I love all the bangers too, Adeste Fidelis in Latin, Oh Little Town of Bethlehem, Once in Royal David's City, Glo-o-o-o-riA, We Three Kings

Just seen Ickle Tommy Ten Names referred to as "Ewok Powell" in the comments section of a YouTube vid & I haven't laughed so hard in a while.

Outstanding work from whoever came up with that one. 🤣

Tell it not to. Also tell it that you need to anticipate criticism or pushback and to analyze what you are writing with that in view. Have to say I have been on a job recently and it was the only encouraging voice I had, and I was glad of it. But I agree it gets a bit much!

One man, standing behind a counter and dressed like a shopkeeper, is handing a stylized dead Twitter logo (a blue bird with X-shaped eyes) to another man, whose face has been replaced with that of Elon Musk. A speech bubble from the shopkeeper says, "It was alive when you bought it."

He used to sign with a "B" monogram early on I think. But I agree it doesn't quite look like his work. Lovely though.

Trump: "Portland is burning to the ground. You have agitators, insurrectionists... The governor, the mayor, the politicians are petrified for their lives."*

*Not a single word of this is true.

I saw Blazing Saddles when it first came out in the UK. The one and only time I've literally seen a cinema full of people - not one or two, everyone - literally fall out of their seats laughing.

Whatever’s in the Epstein files about Trump is so bad that he called them a hoax, accused Obama of treason, shut down the Epstein investigation, recessed Congress to prevent a vote on releasing the files, and rushed his criminal attorney to prison to offer Epstein’s accomplice an immunity deal

I'll go old-skool with 2f books that really flipped some switches in my head back in the day.

1) A bit academically dry but hey, I got through it aged 21: R.H. Tawney - Religion and the Rise of Capitalism

2) A very readable novel - Robert Tressell's Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists.

Dreadful tragedy.

So sad. Family must be in bits 😥
