Not enough for my taste.

What is this? (holds up picture of elephant)

An elephant.

Correct.

I aced it.

My all time favourite one of these was in 2018 when Trump said "we did very well in the mid towns... and the mid terms" thus inventing a hitherto unknown set of elections in which his party had prospered.

Hello from the UK.

Around Brexit time, when they pretended it was worth asking might there also be an upside to unplugging 45 years worth of economic, educational, agricultural, medical, scientific, legal, security and defence integration.

Is it on loan?

Superb.

I have occasionally visited and it's like inspecting the interior of the destroyed reactor at Chernobyl. After about five minutes you can feel the radiation making your teeth vibrate.

In all the world there's none I loathe
As much as slimy Michael Gove

Nothing whatever.

Mamdani. Three syllables. Evidently Mr Musk feels this is too much for him to master.

Very Trumpy

Farage: "I now understand more than I did the role of the state in strategic industries. This is why Richard and I went to Scunthorpe. If we hadn't gone to Scunthorpe, there would be no primary steel made in Britain today."

Does he genuinely think his bandwagon photo-op saved steel? NURSE! 😂 ~AA

Money and attention

One potential factor in X radicalisation/racism which shouldn’t be ignored is the financial incentive to be outrageous/widely-shared. Rupert Lowe - whose payments we know as he has to declare them - can clear £5,000 a month in X payments.

Brief, diverting fantasy ensues of car going into the ground like a dart.

Will Andrew be stripped of his Royal titles in a televised ceremony?

Sheer insanity that Trump is president.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 8d

Trump does a very unflattering impersonation of Modi

MP for Midwich

By "go around" is it possible he means "violate"?

In interview, John Cleese said after day one of rehearsing Fawlty Towers, he and Connie Booth were worried. "We didn't think she'd do it like that."

But after day two, they were saying to each other. "No! We were wrong. The way she's doing it is SO much better than what we had thought of."

Nauseating. The epitome of the high-speed normalization of the extreme right in the UK.

Is the Reform MP who says she’s driven mad by TV adverts full of Black & Asian people a racist or realist? How many migrants would the Tories expel? & should the UK be selling fighter jets to Türkiye?

Ah, yes. Reform UK. "A movement built by real people." All smiling and clasping their hands in EXACTLY the same way.

I'd love to see the prompts that generated this.

I am sure he will try but he'll be 83 and at the current rate of decomposition his brain will be mashed swede.

"We don't want to forget, we want to remember."

25 years from the end of the LGBT+ ban in the military, a monument to their courage is being unveiled. It could not have arrived at a more relevant moment. Everywhere we look today, we can see that progress can be undone all too easily. ~AA
