Today we have a double debunk:

1. A debunk of the idea that 67 dog breeds are being banned in Britain

2. A debunk of what the usual suspects are saying online (because they are so tediously predictable!🙄)

Twitter conversation between sj and Amarion: sj: Its true, the 1/3rd pounder burger failed in the US because ppl thought quarter pounders were bigger Amarion: Yeah cause they are???? sj: 1/3>1/4 .33> .25 Amarion: what are those signs

Wanna see the greatest tweet of all time

Unpopular opinion but gas prices have always been too low.

Cheap gas means urban sprawl, giant useless pick up trucks, shitty transit options, shitty rail options and dangerous or no bike & pedestrian options.

Oh and burning less gas means the climate apocalypse gets postponed

This map feels like a metaphor for how we live our lives. We carefully step around conflicts (that are in no way inevitable in the first place) and carry on with our banalities. I’m not saying we shouldn’t but it does feel representative of our condition.

If they do drop the 82nd and 101st into Iran then I guess we get to find out how MARKET GARDEN would have gone if everything was much stupider.

Daily Mail Twitter post: Flying a Union Jack Flag is branded a ‘tool of hate’ in government's leaked social cohesion strategy. Multiple Union Jack and St George’s Cross flags are displayed prominently along a road, amidst greenery and a building in the background.

“A leaked draft of the proposals suggests national symbols were sometimes used last summer to 'exclude or intimidate'.

It warned that the: 'EXTREME RIGHT HAS TRIED TO TURN SYMBOLS OF PRIDE INTO TOOLS OF HATE'”

Okay…

This is the Daily Mail Headline 👇🏼🙄😖

More Patriot missiles used in Middle East in 3 days than in Ukraine since 2022, Zelensky says President Volodymyr Zelensky reiterated that Ukraine is ready to provide drone interceptors in exchange for missiles, though he did not specify which countries could be involved.

This is a fucking travesty.

“In just three days of fighting in the Middle East, more than 800 Patriot missiles were used — more than Ukraine has received throughout the entire Russian full-scale invasion.”

(A year’s worth of production or more, btw)

Let this sink in.
Four years ago, the US expected Ukraine to fall within days and even withheld military aid because they thought it’d be wasted. Today, the US — the most powerful nation on earth — is asking Ukraine for military aid.

Never underestimate Ukraine. Arm them to win.

Me too!

NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

The reason I should not be a national leader is that I would not be able to stop myself from adding “say thank you” to my list of demands.

‘Everyone’s calling’: demand for private jets from UK firm soars by up to 300% amid Iran war Insider says demand is far outstripping supply and calls for creation of air bridges to evacuate people from Middle East

It’s like Dunkirk but they’re all wankers www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Little known is that this behaviour exhibited by large whales is the inspiration behind the Luftwaffe developing the 'rotte’ loose pair formation. Attacker goes for one, leaving the other free to position to their six.

Good point, but also misses I think a very crucial piece of social context: Britain in 1982 was a country where large elements of the political and military establishment remembered the wholesale violence of the Second World War

This lifeboat is a bit uncomfortable…

My my, how the turn tables.

Can we stop comparing *any* UK leaders with Churchill please? Thatcher wasn’t Churchill, Boris bloody Johnson wasn’t Churchill, and Keir Starmer wasn’t Churchill.

Even Churchill wasn’t the Churchill everyone imagines.

Just shut up about Churchill.

It is impossible to imagine Eisenhower saying he would fight “without mercy” even against the Nazis; nor would he have reveled in the thought of death and destruction.

He would have regarded it not only as deeply un-American but also beneath his dignity as a serious career soldier.

Folks, there are already boots on the ground. They're just not telling you about it.

Sun headline about £500k compensation for migrants, discussing human rights, and public outcry over payouts.

Did you see this headline?

Did you feel the requisite anger and rage at asylum seekers that The Sun was asking of you?

Did you maybe blame Starmer because.... um... it was probably his fault🤷‍♀️

Would you like to know the reality behind the headline?

Course you would!😜

Let's take a look
