Us 3 might but there are too many bald middle aged men who are giving us 3 a bad name, currently putting flags up and painting roundabouts 🙄

The Spectator (owned by GBNews owner Paul Marshall - estimated wealth of £800 million) doesn’t like taxing wealth fairly.

I wonder how they got to this editorial decision?

Let’s tax wealth fairly, fund front line services & make hope normal again.

Polanski is talking nonsense about wealth taxes.

That's a GREAT mistcloak! Kickass.

They'll say this, then wretched "centrists" will accuse the left of being mad at Starmer for "actually winning", then say something about the politics of protest, then they'll grab a big old wine glass and fart it in and really delve into the aroma of it and the tasting notes.

Unfortunately not. Reporting and the media class in the UK seems to rely at the moment on being professionally and deliberately ignorant, just so they can argue for "balance".
"Oh he was arrested for a tweet", ok yes, but do you want to take context into account?
"No. I like him our garden parties"

There's some guys in Wakefield who know how to deal with this sort of guy.

I'm sorry, but "The King’s brother finished the email by saying he and Epstein would “play some more soon”."
"play some more soon"
How is that not basically a full throated admission of guilt?
Hey, guys who said a hello to Ian Watkins on Saturday? We've got another one for you.

Andrew and Epstein - the new we’ll ‘play some more soon’ email sent to Epstein the day after the snap was published of Andrew with Virginia Giuffre who killed herself aged 41 in April this year bit.ly/4913Djj

Prince Andrew told Jeffrey Epstein ‘we are in this together’

Email sent a day after photograph with Virginia Giuffre was published appears to contradict the Duke of York’s claim that he cut ties with the financier in 2010

The one that's sending me off is hearing the morning news describe an Israeli hostage as "a soldier in the IDF, kidnapped from a tank".
Like, come on now.

"I'm not actively yelling slurs, therefor nothing I am doing could possibly be in any way problematic. I have never seen behaviour like mine hurt anyone in real life, so it is not really happening."

Could be even closer, their numbers are 5 months out of date.
Labour appear to have not reported their numbers since the start of the year. Nothing to see there, I'm sure...

our economy is currently being propped up by the promise of billions of fully autonomous robot butlers coming in a year or so

Their constant platforming of him is what’s going to make Farage eventually happen. The refusal to cover his multiple scandals should be put under microscope.

Oh, and KA Applegate liked some of my posts once. That was nice.
See, children’s books authors can be lovely people!
Crazy, isn’t it?

Exactly. Unlimited resources and limitless possibilities and what does she do?
Bully Greg.
That’s where her mind goes to.
It’s just wild.

It was the coming back to check on me and then use that as a dunk that really got me.
Like really lady? You’re sitting around in that mouldly ass castle, thinking to yourself “I wonder what that guy down in Kent thinks.”
I swear, my own family don’t think about me that that often 😅

A few weeks late (thanks work) but I wanted to throw out a recommendation for @lordravenscraft.bsky.social’s exegesis on Beast Wars. Eric’s crafted a compelling and interesting video essay on how a toy commercial (and trash media) can grow beyond that into art. Check it out. Good stuff

This was the other time it happened.
I’m sure you can guess how that ended up going.

If I had a penny for every time a famous person retweeted me twice in the space of a few days, I’d have 2 pennies.
Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
And honestly it’s odd that it’s much nicer when it’s a political party leader doing it than a (in)famous childrens book author.

He just doesn’t miss. That line at the end was pure gold.
