Jeanine Pirro. Moving day?

Haters focusing on Liddle's violence toward his pregnant partner, his galloping racism, or his repeated defences of paedophilia, should remember to mention he was also one of the worst writers to ever do it. A calorie-free hack of the first water. Just absolute dogshit, back to front.

Next time someone asks you the bad faith question “Have any women come forward?”, here you are.

I despise Substack and have previously said I will never read it (and I don't). But I will break my rule just for this eally disturbing piece of writing by Neko Case, who was / is in a band, The New Pornographers, who were supported by The Frames in 2002. nekocase.substack.com/p/in-what-fu...

Elon Musk asked for a name of a person he has killed. He got a list.

Remember this? Joyous fun! (And my friend Helen on the accordion.) Musicians are amazing people.

Mornin'. An utterly glorious, joyous piece of noise, originally from Reddit, which still brings me stupid amounts of pleasure several years after it first appeared. Oh, I like this one...😎

Saw a sign that said "Mitch McConnell is on Eternity Leave."

Elaine Chao: Senator McConnell is a very strong supporter of ICE. He’s been on it for almost two months.

A Chinese shoe manufacturer made this video to show how indestructible their shoes are and y'all I'm much too gay for this 🥵

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

Another one was back in 1990 (pre email) exchanging information with Aer Lingus head office back in Dublin about project issues with Kuwait Airways. As the replies came out on a teletype printer that the KU staff would see, we communicated sensitive stuff in (very basic) Irish. Pre Google Translate!

what are some absurd work situations you can share? once i got called into a meeting i had nothing to do with because the consultant brought an engineer and no one in the room could understand him, so they asked me to translate. he was scouse. i translated from english to english.

Working for British Airways in Heathrow in 1994 on their cargo system. One of the users of that system was the Ministry of Defense. When the Whitehall brass visited for project meetings, I (with my Irish accent) was sent to a different floor. Mind you, the IRA were mortar bombing LHR at the time.

When I see behaviour like this, after the final whistle, it makes me concerned for the player's partner. Appalling stuff on a football field too, he and Argentina should not walk away from this scot free

Leandro Paredes with a red card after the final whistle

Alright, the World Cup is over. Time to find out what my family’s been up to for the past six weeks.

Everyone: That halftime show couldn’t have been any worse. BBC: Hold my beer!

The only purpose of this halftime is to show you just how good Kendrick’s and Bad Bunny’s were.

I wasn’t ready for this. ☠️ 😭 Low T Pete will never live this down.

You sometimes see Government TDs pointing out that Ireland isn’t unique in the world in having a housing crisis. But this graph in today’s Financial Times shows just how extreme ours is compared to the places elsewhere, which also describe themselves as a in a housing crisis.

Among all the other things that annoy me about this, is the argument that she was just a faithful Catholic and listening to her faith when she was gung-ho for the death penalty. She wasn't getting that from her religion. Nor a shite ton of other suff. She was just a garden variety bigot.

Ann Widdecombe’s death should make Britain ask itself: what sort of political culture do we want? | Gaby Hinsliff

I take great comfort reading this excellent piece by Barney Ronay that England’s failures at the pointy end of major tournaments are deeply rooted. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The bigger picture: Tuchel gets blame for England exit but this is not only about him | Barney Ronay

The German will be pilloried for his semi-final decisions but that is to ignore the fact that English football culture is not set up to win major tournaments

Acrid Canadian wildfire smoke now in Virginia.

I'm happy. Not because England lost but because their media would be intolerable in the event of a World Cup victory. Jingoism cranked up to new heights, Oasis music on every highlight reel, TV presenters being smug, hastily compiled TV specials about how football came home. We've been spared.

No punches pulled. There’s no other conclusion.

My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.

RIP Sam Neill. Sometimes greatness is seen when it is removed and what remains feels diminished. The foundation that Sam Neill and Helen McCrory built in the first two seasons of ‘Peaky Blinders’ launched that show. Despite Cillian Murphy and Tom Hardy, Insp. Campbell was the best male character.

Have you tested your smoke alarm lately? We recommend testing them once a week and you should have one installed per floor of your home.

RIP Bonnie Tyler. And RIP Tandi Iman Dupree. This remains the best stage entrance by a drag queen of all time, even some 25 years later, and the best use of Tyler’s “Holding Out for a Hero” ever. youtu.be/IHQA5vqn6rw?...
