What happens now is that every dropped piece of trash, every inch of graffiti, every broken down subway train, every disappointing sandwich, every rat in Central Park, and every single crime gets blamed on Zohran Mamdani... by racists who never go near NYC.

My tip as a Londoner. Shrug and carry on.

I genuinely find this very worrying, as someone with settled status! sure, Lam probably won't be home secretary tomorrow, but the mood music is changing, you can feel it, and I just don't trust Labour to fight like hell on our behalf, so unclear where this is going to go

Like the kind of girl Trump drew on Epstein’s birthday card, or a different kind

The bullets in the Kirk shooting case had nothing on them about trans people, yet the

Guardian
Murdoch Times
Murdoch Sun (Scotland)
Telegraph

all reported the "trans bullets/trans shooter" hogwash as if it were hard information, three of these put it on their front pages.

It turns out it was not

Now that Kirk's killer seems to be caught, maybe the news could spare a moment's attention for the right wing, from the commentariat up to the GOP and president, whose immediate reaction was not mourning, but to seize the opportunity to try to incite violence against groups they hate

Hard to believe that putting a couple of demented podcasters in charge of the FBI would cause problems.

Boris Johnson was paid £240,000 after Maduro meeting, invoice shows Johnson’s office sent invoice to hedge fund manager, which was paid, weeks after meeting Venezuelan leader last year

This feels like the biggest story from the Guardian's Boris leaks... he took £240k from a Venezuelan hedge fund after meeting Maduro. And having denied he was paid.

British NIMBYism is truly a sight to behold.

“We are rejecting this solar farm, because one time I saw an electric vehicle on fire, which reminded me that decades ago a coal mining disaster killed lots of children”.

Can someone more tuned in than me explain why, if serious about solving the problem, the UK doesn’t go back to processing asylum claims abroad at British embassies as we did pre~2010?

My Thames water bill just went up by 41% 🤣 £1.34 a day on average to £1.89 a day for a household of two people

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles  WASHINGTON—Despite the president’s sagging approval rating overall, a Gallup Poll released Tuesday confirmed that Donald Trump’s support remained overwhelmingly strong among working-class American pedophiles. “Even though his polling numbers among Americans who are not sexually attracted to children have hit a second-term low, the president’s approval rating is still an impressive 80% among child rapists […]

Trump: It looks like it’s about $3.1 billion

Powell: I’m not aware of that.

Trump: It just came out

Powell: You just added in a third building

Trump: It’s a building that’s being built

Powell: It was built five years ago.

holy shit lmao

The real surprise came after the experiment. Fred Lambert, who writes for the blog Electrek, pointed out the same autopilot disengagement that the NHTSA had documented. “Autopilot appears to automatically disengage a fraction of a second before the impact as the crash becomes inevitable,” Lambert noted.

In a horrifying article about the dangers of Teslas, one point stands out: Teslas automatically disengage self-driving mode <1 second before an imminent crash--not enough time for the driver to react, but enough for Tesla to deny responsibility for fatal crashes, since self-driving "wasn't engaged."

Entitled Child Expects To Eat Lunch Every Day

Amazing. NYT has more confirmation that Trump's decision to bomb Iran was motivated in large part by the way the Israeli strikes were "playing" on Fox News, which drove him to want credit for it

Photo of extensive damage to the entire front of Soroka Hospital in Beersheba, Israel.

Patient’s Friend Hospital is Gaza City lies in ruins after Israeli bombing. Two children are seen moving around the rubble and the UNRWA signage is still visible in the middle of the frame

Iran’s bombing of Soroka Hospital is a war crime.

Israel’s bombing of Al-Ahli Arab Hospital, Al-Shifa Hospital, Turkish-Palestinian Hospital, Al-Nasr Children's Hospital, Al-Rantisi Hospital, Al-Quds Hospital, Al-Awda Hospital & Al-Yemen Al-Saeed Hospital in Gaza are war crimes.

It’s that simple.

The lack of self awareness is quite something…

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

"This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago, and he's incapable of even a train of thought. He's making things up."
