But, if he gives the Nobel committee a billion they might invent a Nobel war prize?

Unreliable source

I get weapons manufacturers need wars to test systems and move stock; I get leaders use war to gain stature, secure legacy, distract from the Epstein files. But wars are the most pathetic of human rituals. Diverting resources from welfare to destry people and property is STUPID.

There is a counter-argument but:

Looks like the FBI have redacted his face, so how do you know it's Trump's hand?

Hillary has testified, it's time for Melania.

Seriously, if she was trafficked by Epstein, her "Einstein visa" is a cover. In the most transparent government in history it's surely time to hear from someone who was actually 'there', unlike Hillary.

An internal memo obtained by TNR reveals the Administration of Children and Families will push critical research responsibilities onto program offices—like a figure skater being scored by their own coach.

The restructuring is part of a larger effort to keep vital info from us. trib.al/Ab37tBM

I love the idea of so much talent in the same place - in person.

It's OK not to be UK

That'll be the tagline for the upcoming Scottish elections?

Mouse follows cheese into humane trap, weasel follows for a furry snack.

Stop Palantir taking over our public services! Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir.

Sign the petition to tell the Labour Government to scrap all contracts with Palantir. They have turned out to be so much worse than the Tories. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

🚨Parental Guidance🚨We live in the country and the mice come in, get caught in the humane traps and we put them out again. Well, today a mouse got trapped and a weasel followed it in, killed it, and had a midnight snack👇

Congresswoman Uses Simple Math To Show How Broken ICE Is

A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

That's 2%! www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

On reflection, probably

Where do you get these crazy ideas from? Do you actually know anything about the UK or are you just spouting lazy right wing talking points?

Still think Lutnick shouldn't be the fall guy when we all know who *should* be resigning.

Now Sarwar has betrayed Starmer, isn't it time for Starmer to turn the tables and announce a Scottish Independence Referendum (to distract from the internal Labour mess) Ho ho ho.

Honestly, I can't see that a Labour leadership challenge between a tax fraud, someone who isn't an MP and a protégée of Mandelson sprayed all over the run up to the May elections is going to help disloyal Sarwar and his self-serving gamble on an upturn in the polls - which are dire.

The only logic Sarwar follows is in reaction to the fading hopes of ever being First Minister as Labour are relentlessly becoming irrelevant in the Scottish polls.

The first loyalty of Sarwar is to Sarwar

🚨Breaking Nothing🚨
Anas Sarwar is going to call for Starmer to resign. Like anyone cares about this latest self-serving manoeuvre from the biggest oleaginous suck-up in the world. Would you want Sarwar as a friend?

Ah, but it was a staffer that did it

This is extraordinary👇. The Trump admin seems intent creating a year zero in American information.

In the fallout from Trump unapologetically affirming his vile racism. ALL HUMANS CAME OUT OF AFRICA, COLOUR AND COGNITIVE CAPACITY ARE UNRELATED. It remains true that academics don't write with Trump's stupidity in mind, but this is a current favourite: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

There will be no mid-terms. The number of ways Trump has sought to undermine American democracy are legendary (legion). As polls turn the HoR and Senate blue, two years of lame duckery will be intolerable.

BTW does Bongino just return to his podcast with no accountability for his Epstein cover up?

omg

Imbolc is not a Christian festival but the goddess Bride was reduced to St Bridgit and memorialized in a cross👇 I make one every year because the Celtic symbolism is lost, but not to celebrate the Christian overlay. It's a compromise.

When getting our Imbolc fire going, suddenly realised there was a risk of burning the moon #celt

Ah, so that makes sense of why Amazon is sacking so many workers in advance - just the first wave.

All those who still think 'employment' is going to be a useful metric of economic success, you'd be better thinking creatively about how to live in a world without work.
