So if I understand UK right wing policy proposals properly, we're going to cut off ties with the world's two most populous countries, one economically and the other by trying to deport large numbers of people there.

Genius.

The inflatable costume thing with the protesters is really good because it renders the body armor/CoD weaponry aesthetic of the ICE Nazis even more ridiculous than it already was. Suiting up like Rambo to face down a dancing frog. No coming back from that

Meet Nadia Sass.

This is the wife of the man who bribed Nathan Gill.

Today @thenerve.news reveals how she was a key part of the Kremlin operation that targeted not just Gill but at least 2 other MEPs and a member of the House of Lords.

Attanasios et al have a chance to debrief the Brewers' season now, now that they're not going to the World Series. What chance they're in Norfolk by the middle of next week? #ncfc

Message to Norwich City board: improving the “matchday experience” means winning a few games… Even getting a point at home would be good. Forget the fanzone and hospitality lounge BS #ncfc

They're welcome to be here, none of us are required to listen. If that frustrates them so much that they leave, that's their choice.

If they can't compete in the marketplace of ideas, that's not my problem at all. We don't need to artificially boost alt views just for viewpoint diversity.

This site would actually be better if it had more voices from across the political spectrum, and efforts to push out right wing accounts are only entrenching Twitter/X's dominant position in the political discourse.

I feel for the Pink'un, TNC, ACN etc folks trying to not make their podcasts this week exactly the same as the last 4 or 5. What else do you even say at this point? #ncfc

As Rob Newman says on the commentary, there’s been no change of formation or tactics since we went a goal down.

I just don’t see this improving.

I am the last person to turn on any manager.

But this is awful, and he's now had two international breaks to enact some change and NOTHING is different.

I've seen enough. Get him gone.

While Jenrick is obvs wrong about policing, crime and violence + also wrong about longterm trends integratio

But he is importantly wrong - in a less obvious way - about community too

The average attendance at Aston Villla in 1986 was only 15,000: that atmosphere didn't bring people together

Guillermo del Toro on 'Frankenstein': 'AI can go f**k itself!'

"Art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go f*ck itself!” Guillermo del Toro is a guest of honour at this year’s Lumière Film Festival. He presents his adaptation of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein", which audiences got to see on the big screen before it streams on Netflix next month.
