Trump posts a flagrantly racist video showing the Obamas as apes.
Gorillas demonstrate a high degree of self-awareness, recognizing themselves in a mirror, and often exhibiting compassion and grief.
Chimps are capable of both genuine altruism and advanced political/social coalition-building.

As reluctant as I am to give succour to MAGA asshats, English subtitles would have been nice.
Not vital. Just nice.
That said, this is the first time I've heard Bad Bunny's music and even if I formed any part of the target demographic, it's not my usual cup of tea.

Wait, it lectured China?
The Starmer regime has made it illegal to express support for Palestine Action and has had hundreds of people arrested for peacefully doing so. Yet it has the nerve to lecture China...

They live in a universe in which enraging liberals is quite literally the reason they do what they do.
It stands to reason they judge others by their own deragnged standards.

Now watching "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves".
I've critiqued other adaptations for historical accuracy and fidelity to source material.
To be honest, that all seems a bit redundant when considering a version in which Robins walks from Dover to Nottingham via Hadrian's Wall is less than a day

Just think, a deft rebrand to the "Parrots" could have seen New England right.

And if that lowering of expectations isn't a klaxon for some disastrous incomingtt job figures, nothing is.
Look at construction jobs btw. If a load of new factories are being built as claimed, there should be a lot more people working construction.

Ghislaine Maxwell's attorney says his client is able to clear President Trump of wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
Given she has been indicted twice for perjury, has no further avenues of appeal and has a clear motive for lying, that is a fanciful claim. As a witness, she has zero credibility.

Lord Coe put it best in his speech during the best ever Olympic Games' opening ceremony (London 2012) when he said "There is a truth to sport, a purity".
You can't gaslight a bad time. There are no talking points that anyone wants to hear about not qualifying.
You either made it or you didn't.

Supporters of the Royal Family really don't like Prince Harry, but they should probably thank their lucky stars that he went woke rather than being given a makeweight job and allowed to indulge whatever vices drifted his way.
Andrew shared confidential information with Epstein as trade envoy, files suggest
Under official guidance, trade envoys have a duty of confidentiality over sensitive, commercial, or political information.

If you love Trump you didn't watch but (somehow) you did hate the Bad Bunny halftime show.
