Yes, I am aware that Graham Linehan is Irish

1) point still stands
2) I imagine it would enrage Linehan to be called British and therefore I revel in it

Graham Linehan is like if the most racist caricature of a British person ever drawn came to life. His face is basically a hate crime

Dow suffers worst week since April as oil hits $90 and weak jobs data adds to market anxiety | CNN Business The US-Israeli war with Iran rippled through markets this week, sending oil prices to their biggest weekly gain in futures trading history and sparking a sell-off in stocks across the globe.

I’m not saying anything. I’m just thinking it very loudly.

I would just like to point out to the Millennial children of Iranian exiles who are all up in my feed praising Trump - and who generally I have great sympathy for - that this is the horse you’re backing.

The school full of elementary school kids were Iranians who thought they were going to live.

Not "terrorists," not "radicals," not even "Islamists." "Iranians." In case anyone was confused about who the enemy is

I definitely think so: this is one of the least masculine people in the world desperately trying to prove that he's big and bad and tough. Small dog syndrome, except he's (unfortunately) in a position of power

Re: "Vaguely"" Stephen Miller is a monster and sits at the very top of my "people I hope die horribly in a fire" list. But I'm talking about his voice specifically, divorced from actual content

One of the reasons Stephen Miller's voice sounds so petulent and annoying is that he upspeaks--he ends sentences at a higher tone than he started. The combination of feminine-coded upspeaking with constant attempts to signal hypermasculinity just make him sound pathetic and vaguely unhinged

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP β€” Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

Can't speak for Luke O'Neil but: I liked Platner's rhetoric on the economy. Then we found out about the Nazi tattoo. And then, instantly, it was over

The roundtable has ceased. Trump can now get back to drapery or whatever

I wonder, sometimes: will MAGA ever be like "I've never played sports with a trans person but I can't afford groceries and that seems more important" or will they simply starve to death with "what is a woman?" as their last words

A screenshot of a YouTube video by AP entitled: LIVE: Trump participates in a Saving College Sports roundtable. Trump is seated at a table with a big red carpet behind him holding his hands up in a shrug. Captions: "I'm here as long as you need me. They came to me, they said"

Over 1000 people are dead in the Iran war Trump started for no reason. Crude oil futures spiked: the largest weekly increase on record. 92,000 jobs lost last month. Inflation creeping upwards

Trump has spent the last 1.5 hrs at a "Saving College Sports" roundtable and yes, it is still going
