Despicable human scum. Worse than a dog. Perpetrator of thrice-cursed acts of treachery. JoJo fanboy.
Billionaire Kevin O'leary says two people fighting against data centers in Utah are Chinese agents. Turns out it's just two locals and they make a hilarious video calling him out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDy6...

Feeling pretty depressed that I may have to cut off a long-time friend who's fallen down a pretty bleak rabbit hole.
Lookit. Deep down every Irish person wants to spin some yank a yarn that gets cited as fact in some factual text. We told an Irish American girl that when the Muppets was released in Ireland, Kermit the Frog was called Dermot the Frog because Cromwell’s son was a Kermit.

So, next week I'm seeing Art Garfunkel in the same room I met Mr Blobby back in 1993. Two musical titans, both drawn to this provincial backwater.
Absolutely delighted to welcome Frankie Morrow on board as our next guest at the Lexington on 15th Nov. Her album "Way Out West" has been getting heavy rotation here. She joins: Miki Berenyi Fyfe Dangerfield Kitty Fitz Dilettante Esmé Lark Gina Birch David Lance Callahan Scarlett Woolfe Simon Love
Obviously laughable. But a reminder of how these people would behave in power: Financially benefiting the journalists and pollsters who do their bidding, legally pursuing those who do not.
Politics UK@politicsuk.com · 5d ago🚨 BREAKING: An internal investigation at Reform UK has found Nigel Farage’s close aides broke no laws over the undercover documentary Farage now intends to “aggressively” sue the journalists
AfD Youth is posting about unification of German people. Belive them, when they say who they are. Not far right, not nazi like but actually exactly like nazis. P.S And yes, they are Putins favorite party in Germany
Taught the twins Texas Hold 'Em and about political assassinations, proper good uncling all round.
Just watched 70Up, truly feels like an end of an era. Found a lot of dust in my eye during those last 20 minutes. Reminds me of finishing "The Shepherd’s Crown" and being hit by the stark realisation that something that's been a continuous presence in my life since childhood is over for good.
In my forensics days, I was involved in a raid where the suspect was someone I recognised from Twitter...
Better Things Are Possible@internethippo.bsky.social · last wk.I don't think they'll ever recreate what it was like to be on twitter in the 2010s. Soap opera stuff happening constantly. Poster you were vaguely aware of involved in federal fentanyl bust. Poster whose jokes you occasionally liked posed as his aunt (or wife?) for 6 years. Pastor who steals jokes
I'm so very sad to hear of the death of Esther Ranzen who played an important role in reuniting me with Nicky Winton - the man who saved my life. It's so desperately sad that she couldn't choose assisted dying as was her wish.
I hope some of the 500 academics who defended David Miller, the blood libel endorsing, pro-Putin, pro-Assad, neo-Nazi befriending anti-semite and misogynistic shill for Iranian theocracy have at least some regrets...
Prettiest pumpkin 2025@wikihowtologout.bsky.social · 2w agoDavid miller update. He's on the other site literally promoting the blood libel. No I don't mean the bs way some apologists for Israel are using the term "blood libel" I mean the actual literal blood libel
ngl "2 doggers, a lad out on the rob for diesel, a fly tipper and an actual terrorist get swept up into an international incident" would be a really funny premise for a slice of life British comedy
This is how I remember the order of Henry VIII’s wives.

I’d like to see posters with symptoms lists on the back of public toilet doors and in doctors’ surgeries.
Wait, the Barbie movie was filmed in Watford?!
This is already making the El Niño event of 97-98 look like a cool bath. “What happened back then?” Nothing much, just an ice storm in Quebec that was catastrophic enough to inspire the four-song “Neighbourhood” act that made Arcade Fire world famous. youtu.be/0ozdCLrTrtA?...

I know 'Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii' has its haters, but I had such a fun time with it. That ending truly was a rollercoaster of emotions. Only 'Ishin' to go and I'll have completed every Like a Dragon available in English (except 'Dead Souls' and the new DLC for Yakuza 3 Kiwami)
Had no idea this happened in Slovenia in the 90s. All foreign-born immigrants (regardless of citizenship) immediately stripped of their right to be in the country. This is the same policy espoused by key figures in Restore. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
The spectre of ‘remigration’ is haunting Europe. Slovenia in 1992 gives us a blueprint for this state terror | Miha Mazzini
In February that year, the Slovenian government officially deleted 25,000 citizens, turning them overnight into illegal immigrants, says writer and film-maker Miha Mazzini

My mum once got chatting to an eccentric friend-of-a-friend at a jazz-funk event, and afterwards, she told me "her son's on TV a lot, promoting Reform. Some kind of vicar, apparently." Seems he's promoting a lot worse now...

Serbia was an interesting experience. Given the pro-Russia/anti-West vibes at times (Putin souvenirs, prolific anti-NATO/EU grafitti, having to use cash at petrol stations as many are sanctioned e.g. Gazprom), people were mostly friendly/polite and the youth culture is very English-orientated
