“The famine is over! The curse be damned!! Hit the nuclear button! Mayo have won the All-Ireland!!” An all-time great sports commentary moment from Stephen Grealis and Martin McHugh on Mayo’s Midwest Radio. #gaa

hard to imagine a more obscene travesty of justice. a disgusting undemocratic stitch up, carried out in defence of the most barbaric war crimes of my lifetime. this judge and this government are the lowest of the low

Elon Musk is such an evil person, and gets to be the richest (and thus most powerful, or close to it) person in the world. His influence on the world is evil. I don't have anything funny to say about it. What's the point? I can't say anything interesting about it or do anything about it.

Today marks the beginning of Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Here is a graph on why we still need pride.

What the government is doing to trans people is a society-wide version of Section 28. It is a level of bureaucratic cruelty that utterly decimates a whole group of people’s rights and puts anyone who doesn’t ‘look’ right in the eyes of others under constant surveillance. It’s a horrific thing.

I don't think it's a good idea to legally privilege someone else's discomfort over another person's rights.

The Arsenal. Your Premier League champions.

Just fund councils. It isn't hard.

If Reform do as well as expected, I'll be reposting this on the hour all day tomorrow.

I beg your pardon

Maybe a better world isn't possible. Maybe we are doomed to sit on an ever-higher pile of weapons until the rising seas close over us as the last forests burn. Maybe there is no hope. But the least people could do is try not to gloat about it, as if wanting it not to be true was wrong and stupid.

The border between Cantwara rīce (Kingdom of the Kentish) & Sūþseaxna rīce (South Saxons) is still the border between the counties of Kent & Sussex A 1,400 year old ditch created to stop conflict, by marking the border to avoid confusion, is our southern woodland boundary

Why seek political office if you have a stonking majority and you use it to…endlessly fret about losing your majority rather than running a country? It’s no good. There is no theory for how to make things better. It’s not even well managed decline.

This is even funnier than it just being Streeting on manoeuvres.

You won't get a much better illustration of how many people in the Westminster bubble treat politics as a game without consequences than Peston barking about the growing climate of aggression toward millions of Britons like Kilroy introducing the final round of Share or Shaft.

Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black & Asian people a racist or realist? How many migrants would the Tories expel? & should the UK be selling fighter jets to Türkiye? Join LIVE at 9PM on X & YouTube or on ITV1 at 1045PM 📺 #Peston

You will not see a more tangible encapsulation of the genocide. A war of utter annihilation waged as a joint enterprise between the Israeli state on the ground and its allies in consistent support. The debt of reparations that the West owes to the Palestinian people at this point is incalculable.

Absolutely shameful that he stayed at the club as long as he did

How a new deal was ever in consideration under these circumstances is a mark on Arsenal, and that’s even before the public backing from his manager (“after everything he’s been through”) and decisions to make him the cover star of programmes and hero content on social channels while this was known.

Wow wow wow. Incredible.

This obsession is with “young men turning to the right” is everything that is wrong with the discussion about the far right. It is not just an inadequate read of what is happening, and a bias towards the male norm, but it also normalizes the far right and obscures support for inclusive politics. 🧵

The local authority that is responsible for caring for the highest number of unaccompanied asylum seeking children across England is now led by Reform.

Again, ask yourself, would any of this be happening if the Supreme Court ruling went the other way? Would the Government be rushing to enshrine trans protections? Would there be calls to assess the damage of GC hate that “captured” the media? Would MPs be lining up to declare trans women are women?

Hey, remember people saying Supreme Court ruling wouldn't remove rights from trans and non-binary individuals, yeah that's not how reality works. It has further opened the door to this Attacks on our existence. To claims our lives are "an ideology to be combatted". 1/5 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trans people exist, they're beautiful, and Arsenal are going through tonight x

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.
