At some point we need to recognise that the desire to hoard more money than it is possible to ever spend in a thousand lifetimes, is a sickness.

I don’t know nothing about sports and I am caccccckkkling

I spent 45 minutes trying and failing to convince a full bird Colonel with multiple Afghanistan and Iraq deployments that Afghanistan is not an Arabic speaking country. I was helped in this discussion (to no avail) by two Afghan interpreters who were more polite than I was.

The Iran war should be a lesson for Keir Starmer's Government. If you take a clear line on an issue where the public agree with you then it's your opponents who end up having to back down, not you

*don't really hate

So much Spurs energy in the last pair.

"We don't win anything, we don't get relegated and Arsenal don't win anything."

🤣

I hate* to tell you this, but you're not winning the Champions League AND you're getting relegated.

YOU LITERALLY STARTED THE WAR!

Meanwhile the person who sees himself as next Prime Minister and spent the past days arguing why the UK should join the US and Israel in their illegal war against Iran now claims the UK should stay out of it.

If this screeching U-turn doesn't disqualify him forever I don't know what does.

The loathing, the rage, the carping, whining and complaining. This is exactly the noise you hear when you’re where they all want to be and we love it.

Belated Happy Birthday!

Thank you for reading my quiz last week, and for making a good go of pronouncing my name.

You did very well and just by attempting to pronounce it you're already in the top 10% of anglophones I've met.

Many happy returns! 🥳

Watching this clip on my 60th birthday makes me realise I’ve been like this bloke for more than half a century. Come on Arsenal, don’t fuck it up this time.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

Trump’s ridiculous & disgusting answers today on the elementary school bombing may actually cause networks to cover it like the massive story that it is instead of treating it in passing like a footnote. Deny everything, blame others, refuse to accept responsibility or apologize.

Everyone Sees It But Us The Epstein files and the great American silence

Three million pages of Epstein files were released. Around the world: arrests, investigations, resignations. In the U.S.? Officials say there’s “nothing there” and the person who appears in the files the most goes unscrutinized. @gloriouslygloria.bsky.social examines the silence.

Here's a thread featuring clips of key moments from the DC Metropolitan Police body camera footage of the March 17, 2025 DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that I obtained as a result of my FOIA lawsuit:

There’s never enough money for schools or healthcare or veterans.

But there’s always enough money to bomb people on the other side of the world.

We can support the democracy movement in Iran without bombing innocent schoolchildren and sending our American troops off to die.

The most dangerous moment in any belief system is when admitting you were wrong costs more than destroying everything.

That’s how cults end. Not with reflection, with ruin.

MAGA will be the ruin of us all.

I would prefer sleeper assets NOT be activated in the country I live in but hard to argue it's anything but deserved

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.
