Was there a A Madrid preview pod on patreon? It didn’t appear on Overcast

Is there a Champions League preview pod? If so, it hasn’t appeared on overcast

I got diagnosed with sleep apnea a few months ago, I was constantly falling asleep when I got home from work and couldn’t get through a film at the cinema without sleeping. I’m on a Cpac machine now and it’s a life changer 👍

He is so easily swayed and manipulated.

Trump is like a cushion who bears the imprint of the last ass that was placed on it.

Mainstream media orgs are incapable of covering the depravity of this administration because the truth sounds like bias. Impartiality doesn’t sound like impartiality when the reality is morally obscene

Every time a Democrat gets caught on tape saying like “Some Trump voters are racist” we have a national scandal and JD Vance demands an entirely new kind of apology and meanwhile every Republican group chat is like “Good morning fellow SS members. Who’s ready to respect Hitler today?”

Quote: I’m old enough to remember when mainstream British politicians, who should know better, stirred up racial hatred as a path to power. You’re old enough to remember this too because it was last Tuesday. And it was Robert Jenrick. Stewart Lee

It’s extraordinary that Biden’s main weaknesses were inflation and cognitive decline and now America has inflation and cognitive decline as well as tariffs, authoritarianism, blatant corruption, etc

SHOCK POLL: NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW IN an amazing poll conducted by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like. However, 99 percent of journalists agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

It doesn’t read as a joke at all. I presumed it was an attempt at a joke because the alternative was so unlikely.

Are you talking about the DiCaprio film, is it worth seeing?

What was once the end of someone’s career in politics is now barely a news story. Same in America, Trump is guilty of a ‘Watergate’ at least once a week.

His whole family has left him on his own and there are two robbers trying to break into his house, I think we can forgive him if he’s not been sleeping properly

apparently you can't say he flirted with Hitler Youth when he was a schoolboy and reportedly sung Nazi songs, so what about when Nigel Farage was 53 years old and addressed a far-right rally at the invitation of a Nazi minister's granddaughter?

The Right’s idea of free speech is the freedom to call marginalised people slurs without facing public consequences. The Left’s idea of free speech is challenging power and systemic abuse without being arrested. I hope that clears things up for the intellectually disingenuous.

The delivery is utter perfection

"We have a debt crisis so I've joined the party that was in power for 14 years and under whom debt massively grew."

"Commentator of the Year"

Wow.

Didn’t you predict Arsenal would win the league this season?

Someone on the next pod needs to arrange for everyone in their street to walk through the shot but not reference it at all 😂

I watched Kimmel's three most recent monologues, convinced I had missed the thing MAGA was outraged about. But it looks like this is it.

It has to be more than this, right? There's just no way this is it.

trump approval hits a new low in today's yougov/economist poll. now worse than he was in yougov's data at this point in 2017 www.economist.com/interactive/...

Grok is being sent to the reeducation camp

They’re still thinking about the bad news Noz

We don’t all share the same internet. The personalised algorithm has siloed us into parallel worlds

insight into right-wing info asymmetries:

“Democrats must be gracious, empathetic and call for calm

Republicans can mock the victims, blame only one side and demand more violence.

a single post..will be treated as a statement from “the left”, while the outpourings of the right’s…get a free pass.

Don Jr went on Fox to attack people who call their opponents fascists.

Yes, this Don Jr:

Charlie Kirk was killed for saying things "that used to be simple common sense," says Boris Johnson.

Here's a few of those things
