(...Seriously, hard to imagine a better comment than this: "I thought this was a real winter Olympics post. I thought 'oh I only watched the women's crosscountry this year, I would have watched the men's too if I knew one of them was coming out as a furry' -_-"

US military strikes yet another boat in the Caribbean Sea, killing 3 It’s the 39th known strike in a pattern of what legal experts have called illegal killings.

All told, the strikes by US forces have killed at least 133 people in the Caribbean Sea and the eastern Pacific Ocean.

THE CREDULOUS PRESS: Fully Clothed Tesla Innovator Does It Again

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Spent part of today at Kidderminster's carpet museum - first time I've visited despite it opening in 2012. Surprised at just how good it was. Brilliantly done. Hopefully it can avoid closure

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

“what cool shit can I do as Mayor? oh, I can marry people? awesome, let’s do it”

once again the constant theme of “New York is great, New Yorkers are great, isn’t this great?” comes through

YouTube video by Peter Stefanovic Farage’s latest video has racked up 2 million views - AND ITS COMPLETELY UNTRUE

🚨Reform leader Nigel Farage has posted on X

“1 million people living in this country don’t speak any English at all. 4 million people living in this country barely speak passable English”

AND IT’S COMPLETELY UNTRUE

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018. How did I do it? Blacked out lines CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP. There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is blackout poetry to me

Y'know, at this point I'd rather we didn't stop ourselves laughing in their face.
I get the whole diplomacy thing but we need to show them what we actually think of them & their utter bollocks.
We need to stop pandering to their world view in public, it's not helping anyone.

So good. @kajakallas.bsky.social is all of us.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

He clumsily read his speech from the page without hardly looking up and told everyone in the room to follow the US's lead or suck it. He accused Europe of managed decline by not being racist enough, and if it doesn't fall in line then America won't be there for it. Not sure how reassuring that is.

"I say! Are you Georgina?" The child in the opposite bed sat up and looked across at Anne. She had very short curly hair, almost as short as a boy's. Her face was burnt a dark-brown with the sun, and “Famous Five 01 - Five On A Treasure Island” By Enid Blyton 7 her very blue eyes looked as bright as forget-me-nots in her face. But her mouth was rather sulky, and she had a frown like her father's. "No," she said. "I'm not Georgina." "Oh!" said Anne, in surprise. "Then who are you?" "I'm George," said the girl. "I shall only answer if you call me George. I hate being a girl. I won't be. I don't like doing the things that girls do. I like doing the things that boys do. I can climb better than any boy, and swim faster too. I can sail a boat as well as any fisher-boy on this coast. You're to call me George. Then I'll speak to you. But I shan't if you don't." "Oh!" said Anne, thinking that her new cousin was most extraordinary. "All right! I don't care what I call you. George is a nice name, I think. I don't much like Georgina. Anyway, you look like a boy."

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

Alternatively - have a different Valentine's Day by embracing how sexy abstract art is and have a look through my geometric compositions gallery here: wgsaraband.com/geometric-co...

Anyone anywhere near Hexham tonight, this will be very much worth your time. Startlingly, Paul remains one of the very few attractions not already sold out for Valentine’s Day.

Give her what she really wants for Valentine’s Day: A bookshelf with a rolling ladder, a vintage bottle of Château Margaux, a basket of fresh pastries, and a candlelight meal where she can dine on the hearts of all who've wronged her.

🚨 🇺🇸🇮🇱THE FBI KNEW EVERYTHING AND DID NOTHING

Jeffery Epstein’s butler was caught in an FBI sting in 2009 trying to sell the client & victim list.

He detailed the entire operation, 17 years ago.

And the FBI did NOTHING.

Screenshot of Tommy Ten Names, claiming he's afraid and fleeing the UK.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

"you're gonna get in trouble for that"

*stone-faced*

"okay"

Is the men's skating going to come down to 'the bloke who didn't fall over'?
