Giving podcasters a hell of a time as they continue trying to try and sound knowing but also pad out content beyond “who knows? He’s bananas”

Remember when Edwin Poots just openly admitted on Twitter that the Tory government offered the DUP MPs bribes for votes in the form of of peerages and basically nobody actually reacted to it at all despite it being an open confirmation of corruption in Westminster from a high profile elected rep

One of my nephews was telling me that the boys in the year above (so 11-12year olds) are arranging fights with other boys and if they chicken out they’re slagged for it. Every guy my age I’ve spoken to says that was normal growing up. Why? What?!

Strange. You'd think that the British people would be persuaded by such compelling arguments as 'we don't have a plan for regime change but a friend of a friend does' or 'Keir Starmer smells!'

I remember in 2012 sitting on my bus home from work for 3 hrs while the police ensured that flag protesters at broadway roundabout lit fires and threw stuff at people/cars approaching their barricades, were coddled. All that flag yapping and these people still never think of them for a second

Jokes on the right win men who are raging at a drag queen on Dublin Zoo’s Mother’s Day promo. Getting yourself scraped together and presenting with children to the zoo and keeping calm would absolutely feel like drag in every aspect of for me now, but without the flair and finess of most drag

Blue Labour are fundamentally too cowardly to say outright what their beliefs really mean, but every woman alive can still see this weasel worded “sanctity of the home” point means “pay men enough so women stay in the home to have and raise babies”.

I rang the police and no word of a lie, they asked me to check on the driver. Me, a 23 year old woman alone, to go and check on a drunk driver on a dual carriageway

Worked in bars and night clubs for 10 yrs. Driving home a road dual carriageway - terrifying seeing drunk drivers weave, every night. never police on that stretch. One night a car was stopped dead no lights, on my lane, driver pissing on other lane, still have flashbacks about what could’ve happened

To be fair, he looks back now and respects their decision (we’ve both moved home and he deals with road traffic accidents here constantly)

I used to have about 1-2 breath tests a month of a Saturday and Sunday morning when driving in Sydney. Their speed limits are enforced with camera with huge fines. A friend of mine is an A&E dr, he was called in one night and went past a school at 3am @ 50km - they wouldn’t waive his fine on appeal

The fire at Glasgow central station is utterly devastating. Shops, homes and our transport link to England are being wiped out.
I am amazed by the limited news coverage.

Post partum is truly the most humbling time of life. Your entire self disappears and you’re not supposed to care. I know it will get better.

Had to cancel minor surgery a few weeks ago and was genuinely looking forward to a few hours of being knocked out and not thinking about food and weight. The relentless knowing stupidity of it all and yet

Not to sound like a dose but there is no way on earth that these baths that look over this spectacular view, would be left to dilapidate an be barred from use by the public for decades in Australia. Different mindset irrespective of weather, it’s just abysmal

Belfast's QFT named as 'one of the greatest cinemas in the world' Queen's Film Theatre has been ranked as number 22 on a list of

Such brilliant news. Our friends at QFT have created a beautiful space but more than that, the programming is outstanding as is their willingness to explore using the cinema is different ways.
A true treasure.

Just incredible that at no point in the Biden White House when Galaxy Brain Sullivan said, "if we make our Foreign Policy Trumpian enough he won't be able to attack us" did anyone reply, "but Jakey, what if he just lies about it the way he does about everything all the time?"

It’s almost funny because her party is so irrelevant now, but I just can’t believe she’s the leader of any party - at all.

Yes it’s got the same tone but modernised it well, I’m only on episode three as well but really happy with it. Loved the original

‘Precision Strike’ On Iraqi Hospital Should Be Investigated On December 7, the US-led coalition’s Combined Joint Task Force, “Operation Inherent Resolve”, issued a statement that it had conducted a “precision airstrike” on al-Salam hospital in the east of Mosu...

The United States was bombing hospitals in Iraq almost ten years ago. What is this imaginary country that people assume this one is that wouldn’t kill innocent people? Everything Israel does, the US has done.

My friend was a volunteer at a breastfeeding helpline and had to quit as so many of the calls were from men pleasuring themselves while getting her to troubleshoot their fake breastfeeding problems.
