How long should it take to confirm whether the US bombed and killed over 170 people, mainly girls in an Iranian school? It can’t be that difficult. And why isn’t this leading every news outlet in the country? It’s utterly shameful.
The only hot take worth anything is a 1920s hobo stealing a pie off a windowsill and floating away on the scent

Oh fuck off ... That's such a shit offside decision leaning back outside of play when it's already going in.
Fuck Var , moneyball kills the FA cup
Marginal VAR calls favour the Premier League side who play with it week-in week-out.
Crufts has become too focused on the people. Chats, ‘human interest’, looong interviews about why they love the dog. All just guff. I want just to see dogs doing stuff - running, weaving, jumping, showing off their hocks. Just maximum dog & minimum human please. #Crufts
Ruben Ray Martinez was shot and killed by ICE a year ago — video contradicts their account, as it did with Pretti and Good.
His mother, who voted for Trump, says she doesn’t blame Trump, but thinks “something needs to be changed” in ICE.

Keep thinking that there’s a universe where Trump has been in prison for 4 years.

Women do not owe you shit just because they exist on the same internet as you, please grow the fuck up.
There is a huge difference between 'Smile for me' (which treats a woman like an ornament) and 'Please be nice' (which treats a woman like a person capable of choice). By conflating the two, you're suggesting that treating you like a person with agency is actually a form of abuse. 19:25 • 7 Mar 2026 tryg72.bsky.social @tryg72.bsky.so... • 14m Defining a request for kindness as 'dehumanization' is a clever way to ensure you never have to be accountable to your audience. It turns the follower into a 'subject' who has no right to speak, rather than a peer who has the agency to ask for better treatment
People are actually insanely parasocial online because what the fuck do you mean I, a whole stranger, owe you kindness if you follow me - people actively fight me on things and say “be nice to me, you owe me, I follow you” and I’m meant to be nice to them? Fuck off.
Like if at any point of your argument, you need to use “be nicer to me because I follow you” as a bargaining chip, please know you’ve already proven to me that you’re worth a block.
I just had someone try the “you should be nicer to me because I follow you” response and I really think if you say that to a woman online, you are admitting you have dehumanised her enough to feel entitled to her kindness no matter how you behave with her.
Jodie Ginsberg: the urgent need to protect journalists

The album being the Julien Baker & Torres one from last year, that has everything a country album should have: love, drunkenness, regret, jokes, a complex relationship with God, slide guitar, the lot. A low-key contender for one of last year's best.
However, now I am going to go and listen to the same album using technology invented in 1877.
I think we get so used to tech that we can forget how awesome and futuristic some of it is. Bluetooth, for instance. I just pressed a button on my watch to tell the pocket sized computer elsewhere in the room to pause the music playing on this small speaker. 8 year old me would have been amazed.
