Footballers who pretend to be more hurt than they are should be forced to visit an 8 year old child who's dressed up as a doctor on the side of the pitch, and only be allowed to come back on when said child is bored of using their toy stethoscope and bandages on them.

Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

I so love @realbaddiel.bsky.social Catman on @channel4.bsky.social. Those who have seen my Peggy threads might be surprised to know that I always thought of myself as a cat person. I can't overstate just how perfectly and absolutely I loved these girls. My beloved Star and Chalky.

The White House has added a new sign above the Rose Garden reading “The Rose Garden.”

Sums up how rubbish Badenoch is that she has been forced into a “You’re dumping me? I’m dumping you!” rather than just sacking and disbarring Jenrick over the many, many things that would have kept him out of any Tory Cabinet since 1968.

When the interior ministry declares its militia to be above the law in terms that equate dissent with treason there really isn’t any question of whether or not we are looking at an authoritarian regime.

What I don’t understand is how people looking over at the US could possibly be thinking “I want a piece of that” and be telling pollsters they’re voting reform. Surely no matter how “conservative” you are that looks like a Bad Vibe

It is weird the way that Americans try and win modern political arguments by bringing up the "Founding Fathers". It would be like me arguing the two child benefit cap was wrong because of something Thomas Pelham-Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle, wrote in 1758.

It is a little insane that I've more bleddy followers on this place than Evan, honestly, he's one of this generation's greatest story tellers. I don't always agree with him, but every time he concludes with "this is Rare Earth" I have been made that little bit less stupid, and usually moved greatly.
I have 1k followers here and over a million on YouTube yet I'm getting more views from here than there. Happy to see that this place has a positive aspect to go with all the tut tuttery.

Like all sensible people who're spending their Sunday evening needing to be productive I'm keeping an eye on the snooker with @dannykellywords.bsky.social and @andybrassell.bsky.social's soothing #transEuropeExpress tones alongside. It just sounded like Andy was *very* enthused with Selby's comeback

Because I've nothing if not got my finger on the pulse of the red-hot issues of the day, I feel qualified to talk about the elephant in the room that's been ignored too long - why the heck does #TheMasters not start on a Saturday, thus giving us an extra day's prime-time snooker?

I know it's small beer in the scheme of things, but it is weird to keep hearing that a murderer who we saw murder someone is called Jonathan Ross. It's like hearing they're searching for domestic terrorist Michael Parkinson, or drug kingpin Terry Wogan.
