Dear @iandunt.bsky.social. I took note of your comment in your latest email from your substack that Bluesky has "far too little silliness and far too few gags".

This made me sad. So to cheer you up a bit, here is the kangaroo from the Kangol logo sucking its own knob.

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News.

A CALL TO ACTION: Submit “Media Bias” Tips
The White House recently launched a Media Bias Portal as a service to truth and transparency. Its purpose is to combat the baseless lies,

Finally someone says it.
Daisy Cooper, "In 2017 there was not a single asylum seeker that arrived on a boat"

"Today we have 46,000 a year"

"And do you know why?"

"Brexit"

"Pushed through by Boris Johnson and championed by Nigel Farage"

*audience erupts in applause" #BBCQT

Occasionally, I read something and fall deeply in love, all over again, with the German language.

Today's unbearably cute discovery is the colloquialism for toddler: "dreikäsehoch". Literally, "three-cheeses tall".

Reform UK Ltd. The People’s Party. The party that speaks to the ‘regular man in the street’. Here’s September’s image from the new CWS/John Heartfield calendar, featuring those ‘regular man in the street’ billionaire Reform donors.

So tell me again how Nigel Farage, who just took the largest ever political donation, from a Tory mega-donor, and another donation from the Viscountess wife of the non-dom owner of the Daily Mail, is planning to "take on the establishment"

Because, you see, buying influence is only a worry if a Labour peer donates a couple of "freebie" outfits to close friends. When a man, whose business is literally DARK MONEY, single-handedly rescues a near-bankrupt far-right party, leading in the polls, he's doing it because he believes in Nige.

Tice on #r4today says that those reporting Farage’s schoolboy racism are talking “twaddle” and that “no one has done more for the Jewish community” than him and Nigel. Because they wanted the pro Palestine protests banned.
Not so much pro-Jewish as anti-Muslim then.
Just peddlers of hate.

At one level, yes its pretty galling seeing centrists & right-wingers mocking Polanski's lack of economic knowledge in those podcast clips, given that the ultimate legacy of their own economic traditions is a likely terminal climate catastrophe. But the point remains that he needs to do much better.

Is scrapping jury trials for crimes that carry a likely sentence of under 3 years the right move?

I spat out my tea hearing Nick Robinson on the #BBC’s #Today Programme accuse the leader of the #doctor’s union of political bias.

Remind me again who was once president of the Oxford University Conservative Association.

Another case of irony overload.
