27% here for news, politics and current affairs. 34% here for awesome dogs. 39% here to see if the legend that is Mark Hamill replies to any one of my posts. A bit sweary when it comes to racists.

OK, who hasn't read ANY European history and thought this would be a good name...?
Two front pages of The S*n, ten years apart. One was published on the day that Wales were playing in a major international football semi final and the other was when England were. Can you spot the differences...?
After all that brinkmanship with re-spotting the ball and staggered run-up nonsense. 😂 Ah, Kylian.
In keeping with parliamentary tradition, in order to resign his seat, Nigel Farage has just been appointed as the Steward and Bailiff of the Manor of Northstead. And in keeping with Nigel Farage tradition, he can't find that place on a map either.
I gather from the media reports that England won the World Cup last night?
Congratulations to the United States on celebrating 250 years since you first cast off the chains of monarchy to rid yourselves of a crazed and unaccountable autocrat, who would abuse his role to quell dissent, enrich his family, and persecute his foes.
Spare a thought for Laura Kuenssberg, Chris Mason and Nick Robinson, as they face a frustrating wait to learn who they will be undermining next.
Well, between this guy and yesterday's performance against Portugal, I'll be tuning in and supporting DRC now!

He knew about Concerned Citizens. Wherever they were, they all spoke the same private language, where "traditional values" meant "hang someone". - Terry Pratchett
How on earth do Reform "top" the poll when Plaid are a percentage point ahead of them? The BBC are openly cheering for a Reform government at this point.
OK, there's got to be a dodgy roll on that table in the Crucible, yes?
I'm no fan of Starmer but I don't recall this kind of wall-to-wall media coverage when Boris Johnson elevated the Russian son of a KGB operative to the House of Lords. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Kat Abughazaleh@katmabu.bsky.social · 7mo agoYou and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.
