You’d think in this era of “MPs face increasing danger” there would be more outrage at newly elected Green MP Hannah Spencer being assaulted by transphobes but it’s nowhere to be seen on BBC News app even if you search her name
Two things. One was getting hooked on Greek Mythology as a kid and wondering why those Gods were no longer Gods.
But really it was when the animated X-Men cartoon started to be shown on a Sunday morning here and I decided I'd rather watch that.
Oh it's the President's views that problematic. Finally they can talk about the Middle East in their favourite language, avoiding it and looking at whatsapp messages from politicans.
Was just thinking about this. Maybe it's my faulty memory but I always thought road deaths got some level of Government response but now they just seem normal
Stark media classification of human lives:
400 Lebanese: Dead
175 Iranians: Dead
2 Israelis: Killed
6 Americans: Killed
Another entry for my graphic novel: The Illustrated Guide to Silicon Valley Super Villains
Social media/most of the Internet is going to be age verified. LGBT+ representation in anything kids will see will follow this. It's all pretty ugly.
So, not to actually answer this, but my favourite Iain Dale moment is still him exhibiting pride that the England team sang the national anthem whilst the Spanish refused to sing theirs, a sense of pride wounded only slightly by the Spanish anthem not having any lyrics.
This normally ends up as a story on Prime Time.
underrated part of this is him saying there was no UN mandate to our knowledge. as if maybe there was a secret one
It's amazing how a simple measure to ensure an existing right of tenants can be secured was dropped while a big burden on how their rent can be increased did get through.

Also reminded of this in Leicester, a one stop shop for all your hip hop needs.
CSPAN @cspan . @SpeakerJohnson after House blocked War Powers Resolution: "We're not at war, we have no intention at being at war. The president and the Department of Defense have made it very clear, this is a limited operation."
Darkly funny he had enough self-awareness to revert to "Department of Defense" here.
It's all a bit easier when your foreign policy was just "Russia = bad"
landlords man. "you've been paying me €24k a year for however long, but I'm afraid I'm considering chucking you out. However, I'm going to wait and see what Kieran fucking Cuddihy says before I make my final decision. Codlaith sámh."
every time an irish person moves to england, the gods flip a coin
The subscribers get the really good propaganda
“I have been living in Dubai for three years now. And I can say this openly, it has become one of the best places I have ever lived. Even more than England,
This post popped up on LinkedIn and I spent about 5 mins just laughing at it tbh
He gives the energy of someone who sighs before moving their bag off a bus seat
Trying to remember the last time a Government Minister announced anything positive.
I dunno, I think this is the same as The Simpsons when the writers mention that Homer could strangle Bart all day long, but if he kicked the dog, it would be over.
Jesus. Another boarded up unit. This is all so fucking wasteful. Running everything for the benefit of speculation rather than commerce is so destabilising. All the pointless destruction of stuff that made things feel normal, even the dull shit. The knock-ons always unforeseen, chaotic.
Irish Times Politician of the Year
well done, everyone. huge white collar firms folded for nothing.
The WH reporter for the NYT thinks “that’s the way it is” = expressing condolences. 😳
I think we could easily win a referendum to ban former RTE people launching podcasts.
This is the worst government in British history. Worse than Thatcher. Fuck everyone who voted for this
Observe this "debate" over who should decide on what clothes kids are allowed to wear. Labour say parents, Tories say the state. Both of course in total agreement that the kids themselves should have no say in it at all.
you rubes! you fucking imbeciles! don't you see that the nyt shares opinions from the entire gamut of the us overton window, from right-wing anti-trans imperialism to _extremely_ right-wing anti-trans imperialism!
