It’s not even politics as vacation, it’s politics as sport. Telling Klein you think it’s morally wrong to want to bring back Jim Crow is like telling David Beckham or LeBron James that it’s wrong to play for a different sports team. They‘re in entertainment playing a game.

Part of Schumer's work is ensuring that he will have 51 or more senators in 2027. Will he refuse to endorse and help candidates whom he doesn't like? This is especially relevant if, say, Abdul El-Sayed wins the Michigan primary.

Happy retirement Michael D. We’ve been very lucky to have him (and the dogs!) during the last 14 years. As someone who became a citizen during his term of office, he’s the kind of President who reminds you why it’s good to live in a republic.

OK. Here's the thing. You just can't put on a jacket and pretend to be a security patrol in the UK. It's actually illegal. Who the actual F are these "Essex Spartans"? Government has laws and rules and they need to enforce them.

I don’t want to get into all the BBC issues but I feel like if you can describe trans people as fascist whilst working as a BBC presenter with no issues then by definition trans people do not have power over you.

They should just open the movie with Bond doing Bond things and breeze past it. Literally no one needs this to be a connected universe, and no one could force it into being one as it is.

I really loathe this man so much
You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that:
1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people.
2. Most drug-takers are not a problem.
3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich.
4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

this sh*t is insane
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

this is not "everyone is twelve" theory. this is the slightly rarer but typically much more consequential "no one knows what lawyers do" theory
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

Honestly, everyone is overthinking James Bond. He's a cool spy who goes on missions in exotic places and there is a lady he has sex with who dies and a lady he has sex with who doesn't die. The 'continuity' is maybe Jaws is in a few films because it's cool to have a big guy who bites people.

The collapse of Noah Smith from 'interesting writer whose occasionally a bit random' into 'complete idiot and mentalist' is one of the most clear cut cases of twitter-poisoning I've seen
Noah Smith is paid in the high six-figures to write a blog read by Americans who believe themselves to be intelligent. Yet, he is both unable to read a sign and also for some reason chose to have a 90 minute layover for a flight that takes 90 minutes.

We all know that the current "crisis" at the BBC is because powerful people with strong opinions, chiefly around Israel and trans issues, simply cannot accept the representation of those who disagree with them or the presentation of evidence that contradicts them

“Anyone who helps me try to steal an election gets a pardon” is perhaps the most corrupt thing to happen in American history.
That “conservatives” have simply accepted this as the price of admission is the greatest moral and intellectual humiliation.

I keep seeing pundits writing “the BBC never covered This story” and it’s something I remember seeing covered on the BBC website. It’s baffling.
the fun thing about the BBC story is that I can't actually read about it for more than couple of minutes at a time because it makes me feel too insane :)
The worst you can accuse Panorama of doing is making a misleading edit – and I’d dispute that! – to make *a point that was true*.
The programme aired without anyone seeing any issues with the edit. It was on iPlayer for a year without complaints. Donald Trump *did* incite Jan 6th.
