They’ll argue all day we need to hear from Nazis because freedom of speech must protect the worst speech but will go “nah forget the rule of law” if it looks like it’ll benefit someone they don’t like for even One Second

England literally also did an expulsion of the Jews what is she talking about

literally every normal person noticed all the macho bullshit about war and lethality and rules of engagement saw murder coming, it does make you think what they're up to at the washington post op ed page

www.columnblog.com/p/media-pont... Adam Johnson has a good article on this (not accusing you of pontificating) - it seems like a pattern worth noting that the president has for many years expressed an interest in using military force to access other countries' resources

@vanessabusch.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... interesting article but Trump ruefully talking about how close the US came to getting Venezuelan oil seems like pretty good supporting evidence for Maduro's claim, no?

that'd better be a hell of a good footnote for this to be true
December 2, 2025 at 3:49 PM
Maybe I’m wrong but “confirmed” feels like the BBC going “yeah this is true”, compared to a word like “stated” or “alleged” - why should we trust this serial liar? Especially when her statement coincidentally exonerates her colleague of one of the most serious charges?

Next to each other in my feed, great job economist

like many other trump articles what he says he will do is blatantly illegal but for some reason it's considered editorialising to say so. Like Trump declares a plan to do a crime and we all have to pretend there's some secret plan to make it fine actually

good work WaPo journalists, obviously shit work WaPo opinion guys, embarrassing, pathetic, worm-like

Never not sharing that time freeman decided to smear fossil free books as collaborating with hamas, what a maniac

A known sex attacker hanging out with the world’s most notorious paedophile implies wrongdoing to me but I guess I should be beautifully naive and pure like my friends at the BBC

If I were a news org heading into battle with a guy and that week evidence dropped that he helped the world’s most notorious paedophile hide his crimes I might mention that a few more times on my front page, weird the BBC isn’t

@economist.com don't worry you’re not alone in *being really bad at your job*
November 15, 2025 at 2:39 PM
@economist.com can we start fearing yet guys
November 15, 2025 at 11:19 AM
Not that it’s either/or but “bogan war and peace” feels like the article you run after maybe another couple on damning evidence the president of the United States is part of a billionaire paedophile cabal

Hey @economist.com I think maybe you fucked up humiliatingly when you wrote this about bondi, a thing which seemed obviously wrong to me, a random guy, but somehow eluded you guys. Hey why not hire me?
November 14, 2025 at 8:57 PM
@economist.com how come I, some random jackass, saw this sentence you wrote was obviously stupid and would be proved repeatedly and humiliatingly wrong, but it got past your editors?
November 12, 2025 at 8:52 PM
No mention of trump’s myriad sex crimes and allegations, idk seems pretty relevant to me when trying to figure out the sort of thing he might do
November 12, 2025 at 8:18 PM
Awful the bbc was so rude to prominent sex attacker Donald Trump, really unforgiveable, truly bad to be rude about that freak murderer racist piece of shit, smdh
