Oh my god. YMCA. Actually scarlet for Gianni Infantino’s Ma for having him #FIFA #WorldCup

Football is dead. It has ceased to be. It’s expired and gone to meet its maker. It’s a stiff. Bereft of life. It rests in peace. It’s run down the curtain and joined the choir invisible

The cable, sent to all U.S. missions on December 2, orders U.S. consular officers to review resumes or LinkedIn profiles of H-1B applicants - and family members who would be traveling with them - to see if they have worked in areas that include activities such as misinformation, disinformation, content moderation, fact-checking, compliance and online safety, among others.

Holy shit.

Reuters reporting that new admin instructions on visas are if you worked at a platform in trust & safety or content moderation or on fact checking or online safety at an platform you *and your loved ones* are ineligible for H-1B visa.

I’d have to flee abroad…

Ha! Not a chance…must be fake news, can’t believe I’d ever use the word “trendy”, even as a callow cub 🤦🏼‍♀️

Opinion | The Real Epstein Cover-Up

Enraging

”A report on violent deaths of girls and women from 2014 to 2020 noted that laws constraining abortion providers were associated with a 3.4% rise in the rate of homicides related to intimate partner violence. We are being killed for our own lack of choice”

1) Start the worst European war since 1945 and commit every imaginable war crime
2) Decide how you want to be rewarded for your aggression
3) Leak the list of your desiderata to the US press
4) Wait for the US president to enforce your wish list on your victim.

President Piggy This is what consequence-free misogyny looks like.

This by @sophiegilbert.bsky.social is absolutely superb, totally spot on, utterly enraging and massively depressing (gift article) www.theatlantic.com/culture/2025...

When I arrive at the party

“Controversial” you say?

How about:

“Ignorant”
“Misogynistic”
“Aggressive”
“Sexist”
“Degrading”
“Insulting”
“Chauvinistic”
“Repulsive”
“Abusive”
“Antagonistic”
“Offensive”

Unsurprisingly, the two journalists who enraged him into open tyranny are women - ABC’s Mary Bruce and CBS’s Jennifer Jacobs

He really really hates women who don’t know their place - which is either lying for him or lying under him

“Things happen” - Trump defending the murder of a US journalist - killed by the order of the man sitting next to him #JamalKhashoggi

“Insubordinate” - Trump to ABC journalist who questioned him on the Epstein files

“Quiet, piggy” - Trump to CBS reporter who asked him about the Epstein files

Just the president of the United States rationalizing that a Washington Post reporter was basically asking to be murdered and cut to pieces with a bone saw because of his reporting.

As he sits next to the thug who ordered it.

So, while everyone has been watching FF manoeuvres, it’s looks as if it’s all go in FG - Paschal Donohoe off to the World Bank, to be replaced in finance by Simon Harris… 👀 #Dail

Lots of that ahead. Hopefully 🤞🏻
