@paulhayward.bsky.social did you watch the burying of the priest’s curse in the GAA final! And probably the longest victory speech by the Mayo captain since Castro was in his pomp.

If this version is accurate, Stokes and Atkinson are guilty of drinking an hour after a ludicrous curfew and watching a rugby player miss Atkinson with a punch. No police. No charges. And then they left… How nightclub incident unfolded for Stokes and Atkinson - The Times and The Sunday Times
A somewhat curious take, concluding with a judgment by Gower, whose buzzing of the Gabba in a light aircraft cost him no more than a fine he could afford, while John Morris, his co-pilot, never played for England again. Stokes set to be left out of England squad for second Test - The Guardian
Surely the curfew doesn’t apply after the match is over. Might as well tell them to go home to mum! The real issue ought to be the actual incident- which sounds like it didn’t “develop”. Ben Stokes considers resigning as England captain after nightclub incident - The Times and The Sunday Times

@mrjamesob.bsky.social check this from the excellent Heather Cox Richardson: “Weirdly, he kept referring to the U.S. as “your” country when he was speaking to Welker, and to “your” elections. It was almost as if he was a foreign observer offering criticism of the U.S.” Weird, no?
The judge wrote in his 94-page ruling that it was "crystal clear" that the arts complex was named for the late president John F. Kennedy. He also ruled that the center could not wind down its programming and close for two years of renovations – at least for now.
Trump's name must come off of the Kennedy Center, judge rules

If anyone doubted that the BBC’s Chris Mason was an agent or, at least, a willing dupe, for the opposition, you’d only have to listen to his outrageously biased take on the Government’s move to tweak sanctions on Russian oil and gas. He knew the facts and twisted them beyond recognition.

One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government. We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today. If not, they must be replaced.

Dozens of politically vulnerable foreign nationals (including Brits and Americans) are often among the 5k-plus held in Iranian jails at any one time. And Trump is about to bomb the hell out of them, indiscriminately and with no remorse.

The slaughter of 168 Iranian schoolchildren in Tehran - independently verified but denied by the world’s most brazen liar, Donald Trump- will one day be remembered as the biggest US war crime since the My Lai Massacre in Vietnam in 1968. Shame on you, America - and a lingering pox on your president.

Brian Allen 🚨 Gavin Newsom isn’t mincing words: “Trump owes families their money back. $1,751 per household.” Trump illegally taxed working Americans through tariffs. Took hundreds of billions. Got caught. Got ruled against. Now he needs to return every dollar. No excuses. No delays.
Getting seriously heavy now. No way is this over, whatever Trump, Bondi and all the gangsters might imagine.
