This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

Nominal damages at best. Lose /lose for #TrumpleThinSkin.

Don't let anyone divide the opposition to Trump. Unless you are a Trumpist yourself of course.

The BBC - for all its flaws - remains the greatest news and broadcasting service in the world.

It is everything Donald Trump and his cabal of nasty little nobodies will never be and we need to defend it.

The Gospel of Professional Christian Mike Johnson:

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2

Dominic Cummings, in an earlier incarnation, ran a secretly-funded 'think tank' dedicated to attacking the Beeb while Robbie Gibb glided effortlessly from GBNews to the BBC & started lecturing staff on impartiality. Imagine (cos you'll have to) how the 'left-wing' equivalent would be reported.

Meanwhile the print media could hardly be expected to hold the Tories to account, given their almost constant irrumating support for Conservatives. Of Britain’s 15 main national newspapers, only one backed the Labour Party. The rest vocally supported the Tories or their Lib Dem partners in the coalition. Thankfully, we could rely on the BBC to balance things out by flexing its renowned leftie muscles. The corporation’s controller of global news output, Craig Oliver, joined the Downing Street operation as David Cameron’s director of communications. Andrew Neil, editor of the right-wing Spectator magazine, fronted both of the BBC’s two leading political discussion programmes, This Week and Daily Politics. The editor of these programmes, Robbie Gibb, was brother of Conservative MP Nick Gibb, and later became director of communications at Theresa May’s Downing Street. Sure, Nick Robinson, the BBC’s chief political correspondent, had been national president of the Young Conservatives and then president of the Oxford University Conservative Association,but

those sympathies were balanced out by his deputy, James Landale, an old-Etonian close contemporary of David Cameron who was also offered – and declined – the Tory communications job. Meanwhile, a report by the University of Cardiff found from 2007 to 2012 (both in and out of office), Conservative politicians received 50 per cent more airtime on BBC News at Six than Labour politicians did. So if the tsunami of unmitigated failure that started in 2010 has been a revelation to you, nobody should be especially surprised.

The famously left-wing bias of the BBC.

(From The Decade In Tory)

Yesterday, Stephen Nolan interviewed former BBC man Roger Mosey.
The bit I heard was a constant attack on the BBC over several subjects including accusations of left wing, pro Gaza and pro Trans biases.
Mosey said the licence fee had to go and be replaced by a subscription model.

Spot on, George. The resignation was forced not by the overwhelming right-wing bias to BBC political reporting contrary to the Charter, but because they upset the #OrangeFelon and the #UK gov't can't allow that. We're in such a shameful and damaging period in our history right now.

Once every 20 years or so, the director-general of the BBC is forced to resign for being insufficiently rightwing. Alastair Milne in 1987. Greg Dyke in 2004. Tim Davie in 2025. The great irony is that the BBC was in all cases profoundly biased towards established power. But just not biased enough …

🚨 I pledge to NEVER step foot in a Walmart again. If I cannot afford it or find it elsewhere, I do not need it. White people MUST take a stand. This openly hostile contempt for black people cannot be tolerated or dismissed. I am not waiting for a national strike - I am DONE. Who will join me?

Some of those who were conned still had evil intentions.

Xenophobia against EU citizens definitely played a part. The question is why should the EU forgive and forget.

Bringing the ring leaders to justice is fine but it is not enough.

The UK needs to fundamentally reform in order to qualify…

absolutely. vile and stupid, the whole treasonous lot of them.

DATE: November 8, 2025 SUBJECT: Updated Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) November Benefit Issuance TO: Regional Directors SNAP Division All Regions SNAP State Agency Directors All State Agencies This memorandum is a follow up to the guidance shared on October 10, October 24, November 4, November 5, and November 7, 2025, regarding Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits for November 2025. The U.S. Supreme Court granted the U.S. Department of Agriculture an administrative stay of the orders issued by the District Court of Rhode Island in Rhode Island State Council of Churches, et al. v. Rollins, 25-cv-569. Pending any explicit direction to the contrary from Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), States must not transmit full benefit issuance files to EBT processors. Instead, States must continue to process and load the partial issuance files that reflect the 35 percent reduction of maximum allotments detailed in the November 5 guidance. To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025. Please advise the appropriate FNS Regional Office representative of steps taken to correct any actions taken that do not comply with this memorandum. Per 7 CFR 271.7(h), failure to comply with this memorandum may result in USDA taking various actions, including cancellation of the Federal share of State administrative costs and holding States liable for any overissances that result from the noncompliance.

Page 2 of 2 We are committed to keeping you as up to date as possible and appreciate your continued partnership to serve program beneficiaries across the country. State agencies with questions should contact their FNS Regional Office representative. Sincerely, PATRICK PENN Digitally signed by PATRICK PENN Date: 2025.11.08 21:42:19-05'00' Patrick A. Penn Deputy Under Secretary Food, Nutrition, and Consumer Services U.S. Department of Agriculture

The USDA and Trump administration issued a memo ordering states to “undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits.” I have never seen an administration work so hard to starve people. Don’t forget your red hats at the food pantry, MAGA.

Has anyone been more thirsty for an endorsement for Governor?

Trump ally Infantino to award first Fifa peace prize at World Cup draw in DC Fifa unveils a new peace prize to be awarded at the 2026 World Cup draw in Washington, citing a mission to honor efforts to end conflict

I'm old enough to remember the England Cricket team boycotting playing SA because of Apartheid.

The right thing to do would be for the English FA and football team to boycott FIFA for supporting fascism.

How can any human with a heart and a soul, be okay with the Republican House, the Republican Senate, the Republican President and the Republican Supreme Court, denying Food Assistance to their fellow human beings? The Trump Regime is starving Families. None of this is okay!!!

Who elected this blob of goo?

Karma is a bitch.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.
