Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

Yes, this is bog standard Trumper stuff: people who are just normal stroppy arseholes finding friends online and driving each other completely insane, alienating their own friends and family as they become increasingly wacky and difficult to be around.

Will Starmer listen to reason from ex-Army chiefs? We do not fight the way the IDF do. If we did our strategic disregard for civilian life would make us war criminals from day one.

Without meaningful security guarantees and forced to destroy its military, Ukraine would be at the mercy of the Kremlin. Because what would stop Putin from invading a third time? That's right, nothing. And this time Putin's position would be a lot more advantageous

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

It's always great to read about someone like Zeeshan, who is now cycling for the first time!

But, as the article mentions, a trike is much bigger & heavier than a bike, and requires a lot of strength and stamina to use. You can't keep up with non-disabled people on bikes using an unpowered trike.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

We’re closing in on two decades of Republicans telling you, in no uncertain terms, that they do not care about kids being shot dead. In schools, in movie theaters, at church, in the street. They. Do. Not. Care. But hey, at least they’re good at racism and destroying the economy, amirite.

I can't help but feel as though all this heat over whether Nigel Farage was a racist bigot fifty years ago is a distraction from the same discussion the press and political class continue to dodge: That the party he leads, right now, is a, racist, bigoted, far-right political party.

RIP, Steve Cropper. One of the greatest guitarists, he is in this video when the Blues Brothers (John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd) debuted on SNL in 1978. He's in a white shirt, long hair and beard. Such a tremendous guitarist. He backed Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Booker T & The MG and others.
