If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Ian Miles Cheong: Everyone must go back to the country where they are born. Please don't tell people I'm living in Malaysia, where I was born, but spend my entire life complaining about America.

England must avoid Perth 2025 becoming the new Adelaide 2006 | Ali Martin Losing the first Test by eight wickets after being 105 ahead with one man out is a body blow that risks derailing the entire tour

"The match at Manuka Oval is a big deal, with Cricket Australia miffed at the expected snub given what it means for their governmental relations. This is not England’s problem but the match sits inside what has become an 11day gap"Root & Crawley have to bat surely

We forget sometimes, but the origin of the term "fake news" was a nexus of Macedonia-based websites pretending to be US news outlets, pumping out fake stories about Hillary Clinton in 2016 for the ad revenue. Same shit nearly a decade on.

Albanese basically just blurting out ExxonMobil / Woodside Energy talking points - but because it's Albanese, it doesn't get debunked in the article text.

"My NHS colleagues & I weren’t willing to let the bodies pile high in their thousands. Boris no longer mentions them at all."

My piece on the responses to the UK Covid-UK Inquiry report that try to airbrush the dead away.

Surely everyone agrees? Just for Emma Thompson's magnificent coat and the MI5 sweariness in Senate House!

Headline from The Independent: "Boris Johnson could face legal action over pandemic failings after damning Covid inquiry report". Below the headline, the article text begins: "Nadine Dorries and Michael Gove have led attempts to undermine the damning report by Heather Hallett after it found inaction by Boris Johnson's government may have cost 23,000 people their lives." The article is by David Maddox, Political editor, and was published on Friday 21 November 2025 at 19:32 GMT.

Bereaved families are pursuing all legal action to hold Johnson accountable for his abject failure during the pandemic.

"Justice for those we lost means real consequences for those who failed them, and we will not stop until that justice is delivered."

Bradman had a strike rate about 61-62 over those 20 over hours with very few bouncers compared to today. He was no Travis Head ... A real South Australian like Vic Richardson unlike the Bowral Carpetbagger

Bradman era to era A common, reoccurring fascination with Don Bradman is how much he would or wouldn’t have averaged were he playing today. Given that this question…

He didn't like it up 'im, unlike Viv Richards' cap "This equates to barely 13 overs/hr, so based on Bradman’s average length of stay at the crease, time wise, I can’t see Bradman averaging more than about 66/67" I'd say nearer 55 with bouncer wars which he hated

Jair Bolsonaro Arrested in Brazil Amid Fears He Might Flee to Avoid Prison The arrest came days before the former president was expected to be ordered to begin a 27-year prison sentence for staging a failed coup.

Police in Brazil arrested former President Jair Bolsonaro on Saturday amid fears that he might escape house arrest to avoid serving a 27-year prison sentence for a failed coup plot, according to a Brazilian court order.

Hingis of course came back to win more doubles Grand Slams in her mid 30s, 5 singles & 20 doubles in all. Never won a singles slam after she turned 20 - Czech born, played as Swiss. Kournikova Moscow born but Florida from 12.

Incredibly the Wimbledon semi was between Hingis at 16 years 7 months and Kournikova at 16 years 0 months. Never ever happen again. They're only 44 now. Partners winning #AusOpen 1999 & 2002, when they were 20/21 year old veterans....

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: I've spoken about--

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.

once again joining the many people who have observed how much of a world-historical problem it is that Trump is so fucking funny
