People saying Trump is dying or possibly dead, but I for one would urge caution, because it is quite possible a second healtbar will appear as he enters his second phase and a gargantuan centipede will burst forth from his torso, so be careful of his new sweep attacks and toxic buildup from bites.

Embarrassing, Trump has had to meet Zelenskyy only moments after appearing to have accidentally fallen asleep with his face in some tomato soup. #ukraine #trump #zelenskyy

Shelagh Fogarty coming out in favour of censorship and calling any criticism of the actions of Israel’s military “antisemitism” now. She’ll be joining Reform next.

Duolingo Chess regularly lies and claims stalemate when the app’s king is in checkmate. It is most frustrating. #duolingo #duolingochess

Weird how Marilyn Manson’s lyrics were controversial in the 90s but don’t seem shocking at all anymore:

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

Shelagh Fogarty must have given up pretending not to be anti-trans by now, surely? She got very annoyed with me back on The Other Place a few years ago when I pointed out she seems obsessed with trans women in a negative way.

This is fantastic!
Listen to John Lithgow reading Tim Snyder...
I'm going to listen to this every day til we're out of this mess....
Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century."

A really helpful primer. I wish everyone would read this.
Passive acceptance is not enough. If you have autistic people in your life (and there are a lot of us out there) you need to try to understand autism. @fergus.oolong.co.uk's autistic wisdom on autism and neurodiversity, the double empathy problem, and monotropism:

Deleted the Threads app, it’s turned into X far too quickly.

Listening to Fartrage live on LBC news earlier… like a fascist Alan Partridge, complete with boasts about knowing famous people and getting to drive a digger.

If Douglas Adams were alive now he’d have put Influencers in the Golgafrincham B Ark

Threads appears to have been invaded by fascists who have been left bored by X becoming a Nazi echo chamber.

My band, ÜLV, has a new single out. It would be great if you’d go to ulvtheband.bandcamp.com and give it a listen. We’re one of those bands that gets completely ignored, so some support would be lovely.

NHS England and the NHS are not the same thing. Calm down.

Trump has a great plan for punishing Putin if he breaches any ceasefire in Ukraine, it’s just that it goes to a different school so you wouldn’t know it.

Sickening amount of Putin apologists calling @lbc.co.uk this afternoon

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

So I guess it WASN’T ‘BLM’ and ‘antifa’ infiltrators committing the January 6th insurrection. No doubt the MAGA cultists will deny they ever claimed it was.

‘Trump grants sweeping pardon of Jan. 6 defendants, including rioters who violently attacked police’

I’ve read many headlines about this, and it’s is the only one that gets it right and references the beating of cops.

So if you’re gonna share an article, share this one.

Trump grants sweeping pardon of Jan. 6 defendants, including rioters who violently attacked police
President Donald Trump has pardoned, commuted the prison sentences or vowed to dismiss the cases of all of the 1,500-plus people charged with crimes in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S.
