Quite understandable. I'm still puzzling over it myself.

He's vile.

Will Self? A terrible pile of tired old pants?

The BBC reports that 200,000 Ukrainians in the United States are at risk of deportation. Even people with valid documents are reportedly being held by ICE for months.

NOEM: Our federal detention centers are held to the highest standards in comparison to other detaining facilities

McBATH: Did you just hear me? He has to crawl through mold and feces and bodily fluids just to take a shower. This is absolute lunacy and you know it.

Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAHAHAHAHAHA

Damn straight.

I hope its a tax form tbh

I think about this take more often than I'd like to.

Not entirely sure the Kurds remember the multiple occasions the Americans have left them high & dry but here we are again

No, he was being interviewed on the news for some reason.

Yes, he could, but as someone who was old enough to appreciate punk at the time, and who regularly bought Sounds and NME, he was seen more as someone riding punk's coat tail rather than being a "pioneer".

Much derided at the time.

A bit late to the party and very obvious meme but I didn't see this variant yet. So here it is.

Israel posted a video of a “successful” strike on an Iranian helicopter — not realizing they hit an anamorphic painting on the ground. Iran is reportedly using ground art to deceive US and Israeli attacks. The so-called “destroyed Mi-17” wasn’t a helicopter at all… just paint on asphalt. 😂

"It is fraud" -- Neguse nails Kristi Noem for lying during her testimony yesterday when she told the Senate that DHS's $220m ad campaign starring her "went out to a competitive bid" (it did not), and tells her "I think there's gonna be accountability" (1/2)

Qatar is halting liquefied natural gas (LNG) production entirely&will not be able to return to normal production and export levels for at least a month.

QatarEnergy has suspended LNG production for a minimum of two weeks.Once restarted,it will ⁠take at least another two weeks to reach full capacity

Oh ITV News. Billy Idol was in no way "a pioneer of punk".

Chris, an Irishman, comes to the Russian Embassy in Dublin every day to perform the Ukrainian National Anthem.

Used to spend time as a trainee lawyer watching This Life and switching off when something unfeasible in the legal profession would happen.
Longest we lasted in an episode was about 3 minutes

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.

THIS!!

First week in the BBC graphics department and already thriving

I don’t disagree, but also: a lot of ink is being spilled to try and ‘explain’ the Labour position, as if scepticism about Trump’s ‘plan’ for Iran is an unusual or hard to fathom conclusion.

Warning. Don’t accidentally leave your work or private pension to your ex!

Just a snippet from lasts night’s ITV Martin Lewis Money Show on “Free Wills and Power of Attorney”. Watch it back on www.itv.com/watch/the-ma...

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm.

Despite hysterical reports, they are almost certainly not “carpet bombing” which is wasteful in terms of munitions as well as a war crime.

That’s more of a Putin/Assad trick.

Are they bollocks. The drop in children attending private schools is only 0.6% when adjusted against total student population and the trend has been downwards for a decade. This is just PR for the independent sector.

I felt the need to write to my MP yet again
