When I think how often I was on the 1990s phone to BBC lawyers to check our editorial decisions were sound, to now see this racist, bigoted, Islamophobic, homophobic bilge spewed out daily, it is alarming
OfCom has taken out its teeth, and a cruel narrative promoted.
Democracy is being undermined.
Put Trump’s criticism of Starmer and other democratic leaders against his consistent syrupy praise for authoritarian, brutal leaders.
Starmer is in good company. Just remind yourself how Trump praises authoritarian antidemocratic leaders in this thread. It’s an eye opener 🧵 1/
The Vitruvian Man as a visual "gauge" or dial. The different arm angles of the figure correspond to labels along a color-coded arc (green to red), similar to a speedometer: REST – arm down (fully green) PET DOG – slight upward angle PET CHILDREN – moderate angle CALL TAXI – arm nearly horizontal CALL WAITER – arm raised high NAZI – arm fully extended upward at a straight angle (red zone)
Now you know.

Republicans spent 17 months on Benghazi because 4 Americans were killed.
It’s been 3 days and Trump’s illegal Iran attack has already gotten 6 American soldiers killed. He promises more will die soon. And Republicans don’t care.
As a public service, I thought I'd offer a little constructive criticism of the most popular styles of bike racks, since it appears that the entities that manufacture and install these racks are clueless about the needs of actual bike riders.
Nigel Farage has missed every meeting about regenerating Clacton.

❌ Nigel Farage has missed EVERY meeting about regenerating his constituency of Clacton since becoming an MP.
But he did find time to go and perform a publicity stunt in the Indian Ocean last week...
⚠️ A warning to those in Gorton & Denton over the kind of representation Reform UK provide.
A+ State of the Union counterprogramming by TCM.

A collage of fascists, whose narcissism demanded that their faces be draped from buildings. In clockwise order the five photos show Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Trump and Kim Jong-un. All of them are seen as banner hung down public buildings.
Well done.
I’ll confess, if a book has a review from the Daily Mail it puts me off buying it.
These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share.

Bricofer vehicle parked on pedestrian crossing.
Really Bricofer?
👀 Invoking Orwell, a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore panels and historical acknowledgments of the history of slavery that the National Park Service removed in Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
I love the "in the unlikely event you are competent" line 😂
Isn’t it generally illegal to stand up in a moving soft-top vehicle in the UK? The Highway Code says practice violates safety regulations, as passengers must be properly seated, and could lead to charges of dangerous driving or using a vehicle in a dangerous condition.
Just saying.
It is always the small, unexpected kindnesses that one remembers, and they count for more in times of grief or sadness.
Pay it forward, we should all do that.
post @dieworkwear.bsky.social's excellent idea, if you prove with a screenshot that you've donated to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, I will give you one (1) recipe of your choice.
Only one per day but I will get to them all.

When we refer to the Liberal Democrats, we generally shorten it to “LibDems”.
So why don’t we do likewise with ReformUK and refer to them as REFUK?
It would have the added benefit of succinctly conveying what they stands for!

The UK’s favourite pint-sized fascist, Tommy Robinson, has announced that he now self-identifies as a refugee. Although Little Tommy is biologically patriotic, and grew up fiercely opposing refugees, he had a change of heart after feeling “unsafe” in Luton.

Beef Bourguignon in the oven, 1-hour session on the bike trainer completed, and Tommy Robinson has once again been exposed as a grifter. A great Saturday.
Time, morbid obesity, and perhaps a few other health issues will stop Trump. @thegodpodcast.com, we could do with your help here 😂.
Regulations are what keeps ordinary Americans healthy and, often, alive.
It took spoiled meat and rodent droppings out of our food. It took harmful lead out of our gasoline and paint. It took poison out of our water.
Deregulation only achieves one goal: making rich corporations richer.
I am trying to plan cutoff from Amazon.
Going to ditch Amazon Prime shortly.
My Kindle is more of an issue. Need to purchase an alternative such as Kobo.
