This song represents the true Manchester United in a way our odious owners never could.

Both things went through my head as a waiter smashed a glass in a restaurant last night, I'm in Austria though so it was met with silence. You'd have thought the birthplace of Mozart would have more culture...

457 British troops lost their lives in Afghanistan.

Trump avoided military service 5 times.

How dare he question their sacrifice. Farage and all the others still fawning over Trump should be ashamed.

Wait til you hear that

1)Palantir has an app, which ICE use to access medical records to assist in targeting raids

2)Both the Conservatives & Reform plan an ICE style agency if elected

3)Both Conservatives & Labour have welcomed Palantir’s FDP into the NHS.

Like 🀬🀬🀬🀬🀬?

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

β€œWe’ve invented a machine the destroys our own planet, drives inequality and the rise of global fascism, destroys truth and veracity, undermines all of human achievements in knowledge, science, medicine, arts and culture. And frankly we’re upset that you’re not that into it and call us names.”

Good morning.

A regular reminder: a tiny few hoard staggering wealth and own much of the media, while millions struggle to survive.

That’s not an accident. It’s a choice made by those in power.

Tax wealth. Fund public services. Build an economy for everyone - not the 1%.

banning X is a national security issue for every country, plain and simple

its explicit goal is to amplify and empower the largest Nazi-adjacent party in every country in which it operates

it is also the largest deepfake porn generator in the world

this is not a difficult call to make

Just put a bin bag (without holes) inside the bowl. Disinfect and wash thoroughly obviously.
Pro level is putting many layers of bin bags in the bowl for repeat sessions.
I have infant twins and this has come in very useful on many occasions.
But yeah, I'd give your bowl a miss too

All right," said Susan. "I'm not stupid. You're saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable."

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

"Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little-"

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

"So we can believe the big ones?"

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

"They're not the same at all!"

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET-Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

"Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what's the point-"

MY POINT EXACTLY.

Screenshot of a verified Greg Olear post on X critiquing a Wall Street Journal story. The post argues that the main takeaway is not about Donald Trump banning Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago, but instead alleges Trump’s involvement in procuring young women for Epstein over many years. Below is a quoted post expanding on the claim with additional details and references.

This is the correct takeaway from that reporting, yes.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.

It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

Moments later, the next child was called up to face the judge..."
