Akinola Davies holding his BAFTA

Just realized it was Akinola Davies Jr., who is Black, who said "Free Palestine" at the BAFTAs.

So, the BBC will censor a Black man for saying something that is not violent, while also refusing to censor something that is quite violent to Black men.

Delroy Lindo is 73. He has had to wait decades for his flowers, despite a half century of spectacular work. What a shame that he not only had to experience that violent moment, but that the BBC chose to make it circulate in ways which will affect him for the rest of his life.

Just for the record:

✅ Screaming "NIGGER" while Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan are onstage is NOT worth censoring from the airwaves

✅ Saying "Free Palestine" IS worth censoring from the airwaves

Got it, BBC

Extremely telling that Tricia McLaughlin won’t put her name behind the defenses of like 12 different scandals here and is instead quoted as an anonymous “DHS spokeswoman.”

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

This man has never ridden a train.

tremendous day for early adopters of the all-Frosted Mini-wheats diet.

congrats @reverenddave.bsky.social.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

It's kind of astounding that no one has leaked these. They're not troop movements or industrial blueprints or zero day exploits. The subject is the president's incredibly low moral character, which is already a matter of public record.
