Reform thinks not being allowed to invite themselves to speak at a university is an attack on free speech (it’s not), and they responded by threatening an actual attack on free speech.

Trump is mentioned in the files WAY more than Harry is mentioned in all the Harry Potter books.
And all of the Harry Potter books have come out.

100%. It’s absolutely maddening.

I feel like, in Europe at least, we still definitely sympathise with what is clearly a hostage situation for a lot of people - but the trust? Definitely spent. I think a LOT will need to be put in place to prove this won’t happen again

The fact that that has led to this weird use of the phrase as if it expresses genuine neutrality, rather than a symbol of man’s ability to be placid in the face of unthinkable horror, is insane as well as genuinely chilling

THIS IS WHY it’s ABSURD when someone uses the phrase “I’m Switzerland” as if it’s some declaration of calm, reflective neutrality. Switzerland were “neutral” ON THE HOLOCAUST.

“Peace isn’t what you ask for when the boot is already on someone’s neck. Peace is what the powerful ask for when they don’t want to be interrupted.”

“What horseback sport featured at five summer Olympic Games?”
“Jousting.”

Let’s not chuck the baby out with the bath water here folks, I’m taking that one as a suggestion.

A picture of London and the Thames from the window of the OXO Tower, overlayed with the shadowy reflection of St Paul’s from another window.

Yesterday London posed very nicely for me from the window of the OXO Tower.

I’m with you on that. I don’t think this is that though.

Hey! So the writers get assigned interviewees, we only have the briefest overview of their views before we talk, and I actually had this discussion with the editors. They said that since such an alarming number of people hold these views they should be confronted. I’m in two minds on it all tbh

Jayden Scott and his weird MAGAt goons posing with super serious expressions, two with clasped hands, two of them in sunglasses, one ginger guy with a beard with his fist at his chest and a hilariously unironic face patriotic jaw-clench. You can see both how cool they think they look, and how utterly dorky and inadequate they are.

Shot from the Arrested Development Pilot: The Alliance of Magicians, posing with serious expressions despite their absurdly nerdy magician garb - one is dressed as Merlin, and one in a cape is clasping a fist to his chest. They hold up a sign that reads “We Demand To Be Taken Seriously”

Can’t stop seeing it.

UPenn faculty condemn Trump administration’s demand for ‘lists of Jews’ Groups say EEOC demand for names and personal details echoes dark history and threatens safety and civil rights

Trump administration demands lists of Jews “as part of the administration’s stated goal to combat antisemitism on campuses”

Phew! Calm down everyone, the administration sending out a Gestapo to abduct people to force them into penal slavery just wants to help

If you won't bring severe consequences for these relentless crimes against humanity, if you won't even consider it, if you won't even try then what is the point of you? Not just as a politician; as a human being.

I watch the bulk of ashleythebaroness videos, despite rarely sharing them.

But this one hit today.

And she's right! We're not dealing with some foreign ideology. We're dealing with a uniquely American phenomenon.

Because when you no-go you no-get killed. Source: I am posting from a no-go zone in east London where we are terribly lonely without all the visitors, tears glinting off the stabbie-stabbies we all have stuffed down our jeans and bras 😩

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

Some people are saying he can’t, but if anyone is saying that he *wouldn’t*, that’s got to be either a bot or someone so dim I wouldn’t want a conversation that could distract them from breathing

Two pints of this, please.

I think because of the size of the country it’s easy to forget that the US population is only five times larger than ours (UK), yet by size we’re smaller than Oregon.

Really? Ok that’s something... I’ll take a pint of this please!

The logic of that is that “we’re Americans: we do what we’re told or we will be immediately executed” is the deal, which is absolutely horrifying - as IF that’s what they had in mind whenever they were all “best country in the world! U-S-A! U-S-A!”

I hope you’re right! I’m surprised you’d think it’s unthinkable given everything they’ve done, and their repeated public suggestions that they should *checks notes* cancel the midterms

(That was aimed at Congress and any adults with relevant power left in the vicinity, not you @atrupar.com!)

I am so tired of the narration. It’s a pedophile protection ring, kidnapping and murdering their own citizens and trying to start WWIII - we have the info we need, a thousand times over. No more narration needed.

DO SOMETHING. AND NARRATE THAT.

Can I just check - why do people still think they’re going ahead with the midterms?

We in Britain are proud to emulate the Democrats’ tough line against lawbreaking, corruption and bare-arsed evil: we won’t do anything, or even really suggest anyone should, but so help me god, we will narrate it.

When I was 10 I woke up with a really stiff neck, I’d slept in a weird position. My nurse mother told me to exercise it.

So I did a headstand.

Agony, couldn’t get up from the sofa without help for a week and every time I got an utterly deserved lecture about being less of an idiot.

The lack of courage in the “home of the brave” is desperately embarrassing. They’re being dragged into an openly corrupt illegal war by a murderous pedophile to a Democrat chorus of “oh hey, come on now!”, and the only thing that will ever take him down is his own rancid, failing carcass.
