Just a reminder for you all out there
I've run the numbers, and the maximum length of a Christmas playlist is exactly 600 hrs. So if yours is over that, then you need to work out what you wanna cut

I'd totally forgot that Plastic Bertrand was at Eurovision in '87, and was like "oh shit, I need to go back rewatch that!" and then on watching it back realised why I hadn't bothered to remember

Predictably Your Party continues to be a shitshow. Bad management, policy, and public engagement from day one before they even went public. Transphobia is hardwired.
Yorp conference doing its best to shut down anyone daring to call a transphobe a transphobe.

The depositions from the batshit CBP and ICE officials in Chicago have been unsealed. Here's how Russ Hott denied actually knowing anything about one of the weirder claims they made: that a protestor had ripped someone's beard off.

Inheritance tax is good! Tax income and people might earn less. Tax consumption and people might spend less. Tax death, and they're not going to *die* less and also, y'know what, if they did, that would *also* be good. It's one of the best taxes!

I don't see how this is a gotcha tbh. Everyone knows who he is, he's been forced down our throats since about 2013. Same as the stuff about him not being in and around Clacton. The people in Clacton who voted for him don't want a constituency MP. They want someone who'll be racist at PMQs

Just heard my god daughter's Christmas present is being delivered by Evri. Such a shame, she'd have really liked it too.

I don't think (successive) governments who ignore the financial crisis in universities really realise what it will look like in cities, including northern cities like mine, if the higher education sector collapses. Newcastle's economy is *really fucking really* propped up by students

Holy fuck, just realised that "No way, José" and "Not tonight, Josephine" are essentially the same phrase.

God I adore it, absolutely adore it when he saws off the branches his sycophants have climbed out on. It’s the one thing he does I can appreciate.
Q: Stefanik has called Mamdani a 'jihadist.' Do you think you're standing next to a jihadist right now?

TRUMP: No, I don't. I met with a man who's a very rational person
