Just an average middle-aged bloke. Into video games old and new. Left wing politics. Love stand-up comedy, but probably not the one you like. Will watch almost any sport that can be televised. Big motor racing fan, esp endurance/GT racing.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Exploded? Don't you mean "fell apart"? Being able to smell mustard and onions is so clearly an assault. There must be a conviction on the horizon 🙄
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.

The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.

"I could smell the onions and mustard."

Mr Cheney has now joined Mr Kissinger in that special circle of Hell reserved for those who have caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of their fellow humans.

At this point, every single journalist needs to have a simple one-sheet of the major news events that Mike Johnson and his toadies claim to have not seen, or know nothing about.

Like, hand it to them. "Okay, here. Take your time. I can wait." Call their bluff, ffs. This is absurd.

The government has shut down refugee family reunion — turning in effect a “temporary pause” into a permanent ban.

Cruel. Heartless. Inhumane. 🧵

I'm not sure if you saw this from yesterday Lewis, but Musk's AI is contributing to this. Why he/UK twitter execs are not up in front of parliament astounds me.

I know this won't surprise anyone here but Musk's reprogrammed artificial intelligence is spreading misinformation about yesterday's attack on a train
Musk's UK/European executives should be in parliament tomorrow explaining this. Inciting racial hatred is a crime. And they should be prevented from making any revenue while they continue to do this.

And FFS government agencies should not be giving it any legitimacy by posting there any more.

#FuckLabour, indeed.

There is no reining in of benefits necessary when the UK is guilty of breaching the human rights of each and every disabled citizen with its illegally punitive benefits system.

But then, we have a shockingly low immigration rate.

The lies the fash will tell to keep power.
FUCK #LABOUR

"Reeves to ban luxury cars for benefit claimants"

1. It doesn't cost the taxpayer more.

2. The reason disabled people need the "perk" of a replacement car is because without a car they are unable to do the things an able person can walk to/get the bus/train to.

My hope is that people cancel their #Fortnite Battlepass subs in protest, like they did when they cancelled their Disney+ subs after Kimmel got canned.

I doubt that'll happen - as I've said before, us trans folks are often considered an acceptable loss - but one can hope.

Shout out to the Fortnite leaks server for not being evil about this like I suspect many other leakers and people who believe the game can do no wrong will be

1. he's going to be the mayor of new york city, he is not setting US foreign policy

2. nobody in US media seems to have figured out that "unconditional support for Israel" is no longer a popular position in dem politics, or why, which is why these attacks are falling flat

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

Someone tell Newsom and all these other lame Dems who are eager to sacrifice trans folks for their careers.

Democrats don't win by compromise with transphobia. The right wing is never satisfied, because they're not trying to solve an actual problem. It's just scapegoating for political gain.
In Virginia, formerly Republican voters say they simply don't get the GOP's anti trans hysteria feed, and anyway, really don't care whether trans athletes compete in high school—all eight of them, nationwide. www.huffpost.com/entry/virgin...
This Republican Strategy Went From Hero To Zero In A Purple State
Republicans' anti-trans rhetoric worked in 2021, but the strategy appears to be falling flat just four years later.

1. Mary trademarked her name which means there can only ever be one Mary Berry and all others are put to the sword
2. Mary calls her vagina Enid
3. She shot a man in 1993, just to watch him die
4. Mary released Casserolé (olé olé) a dance hit in the summer of 1983
5. She voiced Pingu over 3 seasons

This plan is obviously bullshit, but I would totally watch a Towerblockuster/Football Hooligan movie that was 50% Die Hard and 50% The Firm.

Jason Statham would be the leader of the Hooligan firm that ended up saving the day by thwarting the terrorists.

This movies absolutely must get made.
This will 100% not be built.

UK planes are also alleged to have spied on Gaza for reasons 'beyond' official claims of looking for hostages

Wildly, this thread is celebrating what Streeting said, rather than contesting his obviously untrue claim of decency, respect, and inclusivity.

Disabled people? Immigrants? And of course, Streeting's own favourite human rights violation; trans people.

"Reform are worse" is weak sauce.
