"And we now have María on the line who would like to swap a Nobel Peace Prize for the presidency of Venezuela..."
That we have food banks is a testament to the fundamental generosity and kindness of people. That we need food banks - and that governments crow jubilantly about how many we have - is a savage indictment of how broken our society is.
Fox hunting is a revolting sport. It's only survived in any form because it's done by ghastly, entitled, influential and aristocratic people who feel it's the God given right to charge about the place in silly costumes tearing animals apart for no good reason.
Just for laughs...
Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.
Keith David reacting to the announcement that he will be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
"Vote for change" they said.
You'll have seen this post a lot, with people saying variations on "Let it die then", but what I also want to point out is it isn't true. What he means is "it would kill our chance to keep any eventual profits to ourselves and make the five rich guys five richer guys".

Water CEO's in the UK are getting £200m a year.
What do they do?

It's literally treating sewage and building reservoirs, neither of which they do.
Nationalise and fire them all.
"Wrong answers only" feels like the culmination of a selective breeding program designed to produce the dullest, unfunniest meme. When I see one on my feed my arsehole puckers and I dread to think of all the beige people in the replies trying too hard to be funny.
Carl Nog: The building is on fire and you can only save two. Think you can handle that decision? (Squares with pictures of Trump, Boebert, McConnell, Cruz, Musk, Rubio, and MTG… oh and a cat and dog)
