The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

The entire British media fabricated a "scandal" at Tavistock and there were only 8 complaints over an entire decade. Yet the most actual common issues were about access to care and waiting lists.

NHS closed Tavistock over care complaints – there were only eight
An eye-opening FOI report has revealed that just eight people complained about the Tavistock gender clinic's care provision in 10 years.

Okay I buried the lede here. In the 1995 E3 Show Daily, Crystal Dynamics ran an ad that promised, in no uncertain terms, that playing Gex would give you "multiple orgasms"
They ran this ad at a professional event

I love how commentary on an average Trump speech is exactly the same thing you're whispering to a friend about a terrible person at a party
Oh god he’s doing accents again

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Yesterday I was walking to pick up my kids from school when a man in the street yelled “poof” at me and spat on me.
A friend in another town told me a few months ago that she had been spat on and I could hardly believe it. Well, now it has happened to me too.

The utterly shameless & widely covered "report" out today, claiming net zero will "cost" £9tn is based on:
* Assuming free fossil-fuel energy, free petrol cars, free gas boilers, free gas power plants etc
AND
* Including climate damages in the "cost" of net zero
I kid you not, it is that stupid
* Assuming free fossil-fuel energy, free petrol cars, free gas boilers, free gas power plants etc
AND
* Including climate damages in the "cost" of net zero
I kid you not, it is that stupid
🧵A political/media guide to the "truth" about net-zero
1) Add up costs to install & run a net-zero energy system
2) Pretend fossil-fuelled alternatives wld be free
3) Do say "eco zealots are bankrupting us"
4) Don't say "free cars if we scrap net-zero" cos it sounds ridiculous
5) That's it!

There are a lot of things people get wrong about trans women but "making this space welcoming to cis men will make it more welcoming to trans women!" is I think the most wrong and also most common thing that a lot of folks are maddeningly attached to.

Nigel Farage says allegations he said "Hitler was right" while a pupil at Dulwich College and "gas 'em all" to Jewish schoolmates are "maybe solidifying our core support".
