Took them long enough. It's also far from ideal.He should be in court and, if the allegations hold up, in prison. Stripped of his titles but still free and wealthy with no acknowledgment of any wrongdoing is hardly justice.

That said, it's kind of amazing that he has faced any consequences at all.

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

He has no idea where he is or what's going on. I'd feel sorry for him if he weren't so despicable.

The great comeback of the Iberian lynx.

Someone who hasn't read Dickens?

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Edward Hopper - who painted Nighthawks? Yes, absolutely the same vibe.

Vettriano got a lot of criticism from art critics, but I can't recall ever looking at one of his pictures without thinking "Who are these people? How did they get here? What happened next?" There was something very human about his art.

That 10,000 year old butter is going to be pretty rancid by now, I would have thought.

Big Jim's bike trip to Braemar.

Stick with it to the end. The pay off is worthy of Beckett.

Just got followed by an "Elon Musk supporter." I definitely need to be more vocal about how much I despise that man.

I dunno, I think the chance of any of those construction workers actually getting paid is pretty low.

Tear down the whole damn edifice, get rid of the lot of them. It's 2025 for heaven's sake, about time the UK had an actual democracy.

"any difference in taste?" 😲

The Nobel peace prize is kind of like respect. If you have to lobby for it, you don’t deserve that

Crikey, she seems an odd choice if that’s even half right.

It usually ends in bears, that or the libertarians making a bunch of rules to try and get their community to function and effectively recreating government.

Well into “are we the baddies?” territory at this point.

Were law enforcers in the US ever leashed?

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

However mad we get at Trump, I think it's important to never forget what an absolute piece of shit Bush was.

Oooh, she’s so, so close.

Ms. Halligan, who took over on Monday after her predecessor quit rather than prosecute James B. Comey with what he believed was insufficient evidence, had a little trouble with the first two tasks. At one point, she entered the wrong courtroom. When she found the right one, she stood on the wrong side of the judge, then appeared confused about the paperwork she just had signed.

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Reform UK's ex-Wales leader Nathan Gill admits pro-Russia bribery Nathan Gill admits eight charges of bribery while being a Member of the European Parliament.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician.

He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales.

A Brexit Party MEP.

A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him:

"terrific," and "as honest as the day is long."

This is a MASSIVE story

Bold strategy, etc. Can see that going horribly wrong the poor schmuck who has to prosecute it.

Stephen Miller & @StephenM This language incites violence and terrorism. America @america • Sep 24 California Governor Gavin Newsom calls ICE arresting illegal aliens "authoritarian actions by an authoritarian government".

This weak, brazen attempt by Stephen Miller both to chill free speech and to set up a premise to criminalize it — and, to be clear, this is the very type of speech most central to First Amendment protections — would be laughably embarrassing if this man did not have the power that he has.

Wait, she thinks escalators have operators? Like lifts in old timey movies?

Starbucks unions are practicing picketing as the company abuses its workers and denies them a fair contract.

This is your reminder to not cross a picket line and support workers!

NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE.
