Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Thanksgiving in Canada has nothing to do with Columbus!
We are a colonial country with a million things to atone for but Thanksgiving is not one of them.
Our Thanksgiving is timed with the harvest and it's literally just "Be grateful for harvest"
US Imperialism has brain rotted too many of you.

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money
Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.

It isn’t “grace” to pretend to hand-wring over a man who called for violence, praised gun culture, dehumanized trans folks, and led young people into violent nationalism. It is disingenuousness at best, rank cowardice at worst. And it does harm.
