Tominey sounds a bit “psychologically distressed”.

Thread about the organisation that ought to be called Racist News:

Morning on and near Afon Menai:

Rural animals can be cute:

British expats who fled the Gulf desperate to avoid being hit with huge tax bills after returning to London — The Standard The tax implications of a return to the UK are ‘troubling’ expats who have flown back to the UK from tax havens like Dubai

So sad.

The ultimate hypocrisy of modern tech oligarchs is how they exploited democratic freedom to get rich, only to actively fund movements that seek to destroy it.

They benefited from liberal societies, but now they want to crush them with zero self-awareness

The question everybody is asking:

This is what Farage and co. would love to bring to the U.K. Young kids who know nothing except what the leader likes and dislikes given power to inflict immense damage on people and things that the leader doesn’t like:

Top pundit finds it “a mystery” that “Trump started the attacks on Iran without even having the semblance of a plan to keep the Strait of Hormuz open”. Apparently, hasn’t been paying attention for last 10 years:

He thinks it’s a mystery that Trump didn’t have the semblance of a plan? Where has he been for the last 10 years?

Such a dismal tale about the UK govt: so obsessed w competing with far-right to keep out foreigners that it won’t let in the brightest & best from war-torn countries even when they’re hand-picked by the FCDO, lest they ask to stay. Soft power sacrificed, but how many Reform voters will it convert?

Can we be a bank note, please?

‘Practically nothing less to target’
Trump, 2026

Stalingrad has been 'destroyed and [was] without any further worthwhile targets.’
von Richthofen, (senior Luftwaffe commander), August 1942

Is she planning to crack down on racism? Or is that a noble part of our culture?

London, San Francisco and Beijing achieve ‘remarkable reductions’ in air pollution Cycle lanes, electric cars and other interventions have helped 19 global cities slash levels of pollutants by more than 20%

For most people, this is good news (because air pollution is not good for you), but for some on the right, it’s an appallingly woke “war on the motorists”. (Presumably they like air pollution.)

Modern Russia celebrates all the crimes of the Soviet Union. Modern Germany does not celebrate the crimes of the Third Reich. A reflection of the very different ways in which the two brutal dictatorships came to an end:

MAGA's rhetoric of western civilizational emergency is so weird. They look at ICE arresting grandmothers and they see the ancient Greeks defeating the Persians or the Franks stopping the Islamic invaders in 732.

Everyone else sees ICE arresting grandmothers.

Stephen Miller – American Fascist Podcast Episode · Origin Story · 11 March · 1h 14m

There are plenty of people in or close to the Trump adminstration for whom the label quasi-fascist seems appropriate, but there is at least one important figure for whom the prefix seems quite unnecessary, as discussed here:

Some people think we should have animals on the banknotes. But others prefer human beings. Maybe everybody would be happy with Rupert Bear characters:

You’re not doing a good job of promoting Polanski. But maybe your main aim is to make yourself feel good, and you’re probably doing that well enough.

Surely there's an easy solution to the historical figures/cute animals on banknotes dilemma...

If we want to be really “woke”, we could put this rainbow coloured sheep on the bank notes:

You could have provided a succinct summary of his position if you think it makes sense instead of wasting words attacking “some people”.

Spring is coming. Alexanders below the Menai Suspension Bridge:

Khamenei built a relationship with Putin by giving him shaheed drones. Wonder how Polanski is going to do it:

No time to lose:

Brexit benefit:

What do they expect to get from touching him? An end to all their ailments? Five years of good luck? Success in their love lives?

If he’s worse than all the other Trump sidekicks, he’s pretty bad.
