It was never all of you of course just a higher percentage, that got higher the further from 50 folk were back in 2016, there are of course many many boomers who remain sensible, awake and facing the right way 😅

It’s dying but is still hanging in there with the over 60s, who it’s now desperately trying to service. And remember they were the over 50s ten years ago when 50 was the bottom of that massive smiley arc that correlated age with likelihood to be conned by folk like Farage and bullshit like Brexit

Is it cos they know it’s only the old, right-leaning who still watches this stuff? In my 20s and early 30s I used to love newsnight and question time. Haven’t watched since it started making me angry, certainly since Brexit. I’m 48. My parents generation still lap up old media unlike me and younger

Interesting that’s same age as average life expectancy in Charlotte Bronte’s home town Haworth at same time. You’d have thought they’d have gotten to it sooner! Especially as the reason for low average is most children don’t make it. Starting having kids in late 20s when 1 in 4 don’t survive!

People who used to sit at home picking their nose now get to have an opinion. Progress of sorts

Brilliant. Satire isn’t dead after all…"will transcribe DNA for food"…profoundly damning while inducing pant wetting, though that might be the prostate

A cartoon showing various activity at an airport, including an extorted luxury jet, an exploding X rocket, a ketamine enthusiast wheeling a barrow of money to his plane, many ICE officers -- some taking people to an El Salvador plane, another with a zip-tied child being blocked by a federal judge -- scientists boarding a plane to Europe, a medical self-educator covered with pox, and more. All the people are represented by various animals. The story is made in the style of a Richard Starry children's book. Alt text borrowed from Mastodon..

Genius. Click in.

Absolutely. Hamas armed forces hiding amongst their civilians in civilian clothing and taking aid meant for them, provoking aid being withheld is evil and needs calling out as you say

Shame he was so deliberately blind to the infinitely more pitiful and infinitely lower lows from his lot over the last 14 years. Zero credibility Nick Cortina, LBC needs to move on form this tired looking yesterman

Our problem are the 19 who convince themselves they’ve earned it in a way that somehow doesn’t absolutely depend on the billions of people that have generated it, who all in fact deserve a cut

YOU’D GO TO THE ALBERT HALL AND LOCATE HITLERS SECOND TESTICLE YOU WOULD!! AND THEN GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT YOU’D DO WITH IT!! A NICE CHIANTI PROBABLY!! OUTRAGEOUS!!

“The reality is that Brexit has been a disaster” says Lord Billamoria on #r4tonight.
“Every business audience I ask - domestically and internationally - 99% confirm it’s a disaster.”

I recommend the mcvities hob-nob version…the next morning they will STILL dunk

Is that because GDP has underperformed compared to others?

She could do a panto version at the end. I’d pay a fortune…

Trump exempts smartphones and computers from new tariffs The move comes after concerns that tech prices could skyrocket, as many gadgets are made in China.

But aren’t China paying the tariffs? Don’t tell me he’s lied to me AGAIN? The fiend

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope: "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

Kurt Vonnegut man

Well said. Also, their fortunes depend on there being a mass of people to sell to, it doesn’t exist in a vacuum. A private education, access to all best advice, networks & investment should come with a moral imperative to share the proceeds with the less privileged masses that make it all possible

You mean what we’re witnessing isn’t 257 dimensional chess?? How can u be sure…??? I mean apart from that…and that…and that…and that…and that…and that…I mean I could go on

Fantasy mathematics at scale 😂that’s the 4 word version to beat

Oh that’s a relief, I was under the impression he was to be taken seriously. Now that he’s shot his pseudo-intellectual bolt may I suggest a second career as Voldemort understudy, I think in this new arena he really would finally excel

Yeah def a blessing he keeps it between him and the plants most the time. Sensible strategy by those around him😂 But worse than Trump you think behind all the foliage? Wow that IS damning

Usually detest the unearned privilege that is monarchy but fortunately it’s Charlie not Joffrey this time round…still mad as a brush and talks to plants etc but next to Trump he’s an absolute fuckin legend!
