Hedgehogs are more closely related to whales than they are to rodents. Is a thing I just learned by looking at phylogeny diagrams at 2am.

In an extremely crowded field, scrapping deminimis allowances might be the single most moronic thing I've seen Trump do in trade policy.

Israel bombed a hospital.
They waited for paramedics and first responders to arrive.
Then they bombed it again.
This is known as the 'double tap'.
You are watching unfathomable evil, armed and facilitated by the West.

The hilarious thing about Dean Cain being the face of ICE is him being lauded by the very same right-wing TV grifters that would be having a full screaming tantrum if they cast a half-Japanese Superman today.

Cambridge lexicographers absolutely throwing in the towel when asked to define skibidi: "a word that can have different meanings or no meaning"
![[screengrab of dictionary.cambridge.org]
skibidi
adjective • humorous slang
A word that can have different meanings such as cool or bad or can be used with no real meaning as a joke:
• "Skibidi, skibidi, skibidi," a boy of around seven sang to himself, as he dribbled a soccer ball.
• What the skibidi are you doing?
• What was the most skibidi part?
• In the viral song the words "you're so pretty" were replaced by "you're so Skibidi."
• That wasn't very skibidi rizz of you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kaxftga2bqmwprjttffwtt4u/bafkreieqtim32ganbixe5no2rpbyh5zo7iadmr7yrclrcbnmpztmo3o2la@jpeg)

I know it's far from the worst thing about this but Starmer meeting Trump *at Turnberry* is humiliating. "Oh no Mr Donald sir you mustn't trouble yourself to travel to No 10 or Chequers or even Holyrood, I wouldn't want to interrupt your golfing, I'll come to you."

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

John Swinney announces £180,000 of public money will help stage a golf tournament at Donald Trump's Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire. The First Minister meets the US President next week.
[screengrab of Scottish Government statement:]
First Minister John Swinney said:
I welcome the Nexo Championship being held at the Trump International Golf Links this August.
"Scotland has long been recognised as a world-class host of major events. Golf and golf events are a key part of our national identity, supporting communities, driving economic growth, contributing to environmental sustainability across the country and promoting Scotland through global profile.
"The Scottish Government recognises the importance and benefits of golf and golf events, including boosting tourism and our economy. As the Home of Golf we have a longstanding track record of support and I am proud this funding will further enhance Aberdeenshire's reputation as a leading golfing destination and I'm hopeful of securing further golfing events in future years."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kaxftga2bqmwprjttffwtt4u/bafkreigehvro7hx3nvqbczokjbpme5outtf62c742gemyjxaqdyxefdrc4@jpeg)

This regime already considers all trans people to be both mentally ill and sexually dangerous. Expect these categories to continue to expand to accommodate anyone else Trump or his lieutenants find inconvenient.
This is an executive order that lays the groundwork for sending homeless people and people with mental illness to concentration camps to be "civilly committed." It was never going to stop with immigrants.
This is horrifying beyond words.

This witless and ill-natured attack is typical of the centrist establishment panic when faced with a popular socialist alternative (see Bernie, AOC, Zohran, Jeremy himself). Caroline or Siân or Jon would never say this. It is not how a Green leader should think or speak.
