The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

Trump’s Greenland tantrum could be Starmer’s defining moment
This threat from abroad has the potential to refocus attention on national interest and remind us who we are.
Trump has made explicit what was previously deniable... Farage is not a disruptive outsider; he is politically and ideologically tied to a US president who disparages Britain, undermines its allies, and treats sovereignty as a punchline

Will the world’s most self-seeking man, Robert Jenrick, work well with the world’s other most self-seeking man, Nigel Farage? Plus: How is Starmer doing compared to his predecessors? @nndroid.bsky.social, @zoegrunewald.bsky.social & Izzy Conn from Leading Labour discuss ➡️ linktr.ee/ohgodwhatnowpod

Trump cites UK’s ‘stupidity’ over Chagos Islands as reason to take over Greenland
US president says on social media that Britain’s decision to cede islands to Mauritius is ‘act of total weakness’
How funny, two days ago I was asked to go on GB News to debate whether Starmer was being a hypocrite over Greenland, "given his stance on handing back the Chagos Islands".
You can't convince me this newfound perspective isn't entirely coordinated by Reform

I feel bad for insulting Badenoch's attention to detail, it only took her the best part of a year to come to the exact same conclusion as pretty much everyone else

BREAKING Kemi Badenoch has sacked Robert Jenrick from the shadow cabinet, removed the whip and suspended his party membership.
She says she was "presented with clear, irrefutable evidence that he was plotting in secret to defect" to Reform

Slightly uncharitable reading… This piece is specfically about joy and social gathering and how wellness has made pubs/meals/eating as community less popular due to our individualised conceptions of health of health. I never said they’re the only form of collective action or gathering!

This is excellent and gets at the tension between the fairly puritanical goals that social media and the cost of living pushes us towards, vs community events built around shared, increasingly expensive pleasures that maybe aren’t so good for us

Sure! Or just sitting, chatting. The problem is a lot of these third spaces require you to spend money to access, I guess. More and more people living in small shared homes makes it difficult to do that

There’s a badger badger pub round the corner from me that does board games and yummy asian food. Think it’s a good prototype for how pubs can move away from strictly boozers!
