Everyone is very angry at Timothee Chalamet over on Threads, because he was mean about opera and ballet, and I feel like that’s the sort of scandal we were meant to be having in the President Kamala timeline
Again, we’re losing the civil rights generation right as the conservative movement is actively and gleefully putting their accomplishments through the paper shredder

So it now appears based on many media reports that we bombed a girls elementary school and killed 175 people, and right after that Hegseth was beating his chest in a press conference saying we weren’t going to worry about “stupid rules of engagement” anymore.
That clip of Timothee Chalamet being like “no one watches the opera or ballet” is wild and I am dying over every ballet and opera acct (correctly) being like “we’ve been here for hundreds of years before you and we’ll be here for hundreds of years after you” lmao
Fiona Bruce: “Can I have a show of hands - how many of you think this is a war that Britain should be involved in?”
*barely anyone raises their hand*

“At the expense of everything else” means you

well, time to slowly end my holiday and check the news properly for the first time since Friday morning
Have had a pretty horrible day, so any tiny bit of positivity, I'm trying to grab onto right now...
this is the core of fascism: it's about masculine will and action and violence, not planning and thought
But some folks seem to struggle with us applying this offline principle to equally protect our wellbeing in the *online* world
Ah well. It’s their problem if they find it difficult to understand 🤷♂️
This. If a pub that I used to love gets taken over by one or several frankly appalling human beings, and that begins to be reflected in the whole “vibe” and hospitality of the place, the chances are that I’m *not* going to keep on being a regular there anymore
The ‘Board of Peace’ started World War 3 so fast.
Following a white man to war because you disliked the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the dumbest acts of self-sabotage ever.
5lb down on the scales compared to the weight I entered the festive season with... #yis

turns out McSweeney and the Blue Labour gang were wrong and the out of touch woke liberal elite Bluesky echo chamber bubble was right
The Green victory in Denton is the result which will have the biggest effect on Labour, far more so than a Reform win.
The blithe assumption progressives have nowhere else to go has been proved catastrophically wrong.
Can’t help thinking of this quote from a Labour minister, a year ago…
Starmer’s entire approach, from his project’s earliest days, rested on the new core coalition of younger, more urban and ethnic minority voters had nowhere else to go. That idea is in tatters.
As I wrote yday, it arises from Labour not valuing the coalition it has and romanticising one it does not
Looking on the bright side, if Matt Goodwin loses, we'll never see his face in Manchester again. Also, if Matt Goodwin wins, we'll never see his face in Manchester again.
Rupert Lowe tweet: None of us want to listen to somebody else’s music on the tube, a train, a bus, wherever it is. We certainly don’t want to listen to some nonsense phone call on loudspeaker. Rude. Disruptive. And yes, un-British. We all hate it. I certainly do. We will introduce a clear national rule: audio played on personal devices on public transport must be listened to through headphones. I suspect our programme of mass deportations will help to solve this problem… Restore Britain.
Headline: “MAGA influencer thinks headphones are making men gay”
Can’t help but think Rupes needs to consult some of his international political allies about the unintended consequences of this policy
Or better yet, maybe he could just get a healthy hobby and enroll in some anger management classes 🙄
If this is the bump you get from sex tape revelations there are going to be some awkward strategy meetings in Downing St

(Can I politely request we get a proper mass release of The Beautiful Experience movie, and not only because Nona Gaye’s rather fanciable in it)
Reminder that the British far right is led by men who are terrified of women and are desperate to control them
I know it's like the 279th most important way this can fuck right off, but anyone who describes themselves as pro-natal without even *glancing* at the housing shortage should be buried up to their neck with their face smeared in raspberry jam

If only Peter Mandelson had a friend he could email for advice on a day like this.
This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.
As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.
