You know, Lauren Laverne is also worth a shout for a potential host. #Strictly #ItTakesTwo

Yeah there's a get out clause for trans identified women who look sufficiently male i.e.full beards and that but yep no men in the ladies.

Amber has previous experience will never win

It's not even that new; Mitchell and Webb were spoofing it in 2010, but it's more prevalent now because as others have said they have to assume viewers are only half-watching...

Cats are better than babies

I think it's a destabilising thing and maybe she has settled

If she went after his personality she would be fine

Alexander Hamilton could not more accurately describe Trump and the danger to liberty of such a man.

Our current president is a such a man that Alexander Hamilton wrote of....

Been thinking how the training environment has been adapted to support Ellie. However, I've been wondering if the judges have been briefed on how to critique her dancing, especially if negative, or how to lessen the stress of announcing and/or judging her in the dance-off #strictly #ItTakesTwo

Vote correctly.

Just watched the entire Jimmy Kimmel monologue with my students and I must say, that is just the best First Amendment teaching video I've ever had. Even regardless of how you think he did - I think he hit every right note - he hit every critical point that they need to understand.

Jimmy Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs."

When a country is going down the path of authoritarianism, they go after comedians first.

Kimmel Thanks Trump for Record Ratings Amid Station Boycott: 'Couldn't Have Done It Without You' The Trump administration's attempt to silence Jimmy Kimmel has appeared to have backfired.

The Trump administration’s attempt to silence Jimmy Kimmel appears to have backfired.

Jimmy Kimmel is breaking records on YouTube, Spotify is waging war against "spammy" music, and "60 Minutes" is coming back this Sunday. Details in today's Reliable Sources: cnn.it/3KIqtly

A point that needs to be made explicitly: Jimmy Kimmel faced down Donald Trump and won. Period.

“Trump can talk tough, puff out his chest and act like he’s an unstoppable force. But he’s not. Money talks. The masses talk, and they matter.”

My column:

www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Jimmy Kimmel:

“Trump is an old-fashioned ’80s-movie-style bully, taking your lunch money ― and if you give it to him once, he’ll take it again. Two things he loves, lunch and money.

"Rooting for this bully... I don't care what side you're on. It's like rooting for Biff in 'Back to the Future.'"

Tom Nichols, Jon Stewart, etc in 2024: "it's too early to call them fascists"

Trump regime in 2025: "it is now illegal terrorism to call us fascists"

Funny how the time window on that worked

TikTok Is About to Go Full MAGA This administration is in the final stages of a deal to hand over control of TikTok to pro-Trump, pro-Israel billionaire investors – and Joe Biden is to blame.

"TikTok Is About to Go Full MAGA"

This administration is in the final stages of a deal to hand over control of TikTok to pro-Trump, pro-Israel billionaire investors – and Joe Biden is to blame, argues @taylorlorenz.bsky.social for Zeteo:

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

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In Klamath Falls, Oregon, victory declared over antifa, which never showed up Towns from Washington state to Indiana have seen armed groups begin patrolling the streets after rumors spread on social media about an antifa invasion.

Five years ago, @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social and I did a story about rural Oregon's fever dream that Antifa was coming to their town from Portland.

Hundreds showed up armed downtown because they heard on Facebook that "Antifa buses" were coming.

No buses came so they said Antifa "retreated."

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on.

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.
