Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

YouTube video by People Make Games The Rockstar Workers Fired Before They Could Finish GTA 6

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

Sgt Peppers album cover consisting of things that only made it because of immigration in to the UK, either immigrants themselves, the children of or as a result of someone else coming here.

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

ANOTHER #buyastrangerabook day offer.

@lnr.bsky.social has sent me £20, to buy someone a book.

That's any book you'd like, not just the stuff on my website.

If there's a book you'd really like, just let us know.

Maybe we can help!

UK only.

Yup, as much as the album's good, the live performance was something else. An amazing performance from "the goth Victor Meldew" and his young band. (Also, great support from Louise Connell.) As you say, it was a tad warm and humid in Stereo's vault; surprisingly/thankfully, not stinky though.

There’s really no need anymore to post on here how much you don’t like a celebrity as soon as they’ve died; c*** club accept applications directly these days.

Maybe someone will want a house tonight.

And if you're able see the man play live, take the opportunity to do so.

Cheating on your spouse with a consenting adult comes with consequences.

Unlike cheating on your spouse with one of Jeffrey Epstein's trafficked minors.

Hello, and welcome to this course on conflict resolution management, which I have called, "But what if they're idiots?"

Screenshot of a list of the 27 specific grievances against King George III in the Declaration of Independence. Donald Trump's regime has committed at least 16 of them in whole or in part, highlighted in yellow and listed below: "1. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. 2. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. 3. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither [Partial] 4. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. 5. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. 6. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. 7. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. 8. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: 9. For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: 10. For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: 11. For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: 12. For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: 13. [Partial], abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: 14. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. 15. [Partial], and destroyed the lives of our people. 16. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us [Partial]"

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump has committed at least 16 of those same offenses.

Dear America, You are waking up, as Germany once did, to the awareness that 1/3 of your people would kill another 1/3, while 1/3 watches. - Werner Herzog

My thanks to Netherlands for providing a toiletbreak

Wordwally Sleepless @UrbanWordsmith Replying to @Glinner Notice Tennant felt the need to stress that his wife "Georgia...is the real engine behind anything we do". Deep down he knows he has boarded the crazy carriage and longs to pull the emergency cord. Graham Linehan @Glinner Yes I noticed that! Similar to when Jimmy Mulville, the man responsible for destroying all hope of a Ted musical, said of the gender issue "My wife says it's not a problem". Graham Linehan @Glinner Men like Mulville and Tennant have outsourced their morality to their wives.

yeah. imagine listening to your wife on the matter of women's rights and safety. better to defer to old graham here. he knows what's best.

Hard agree. I was told I'd learn to love olives as I got older, but so far, nah.

One of my panellists said (about heat pumps, but it also applies more broadly) that the domestic electrification transition is like the shift to indoor toilets. First reaction: I don’t have space, I don’t want that inside, that’s madness.

But once it’s there, it’s obvious it’s just better.

Pandemic truthers take over HHS Covid site Covid.gov now redirects to a page attacking masks, New York, and Anthony Fauci.

Who needs accurate health information? Not the US government.

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

Hey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner.

In Ukraine’s Zhytomyr region, public outrage erupted after a local hospital director ordered the closure of the neurology department and laid off staff. In response, furious residents staged a protest — and threw the official who signed the order into a dumpster. #3E
