I once read somewhere: “If one person calls you an ass, they’re probably an ass. If everyone calls you an ass - you’re an ass”.

In other words: The poorest 90% of Americans are being exploited and exhausted to fund the fancies of the wealthiest 10%.

I knew #BBCRADIO4 was out of touch, but a whole hour of “poor me” from landlords that can only have 2 instead of 3 spare houses, and are horrified at having to pay some NI on their lazy income - when the rest of us have been paying NI forever and seen house prices more than triple in our lifetime.

Every other Sunday I have a game with a trans Orc bard, an asexual wood elf sorcerer, and a polyamorous golden dragonborn. I felt that was quite diverse 😭

The level of corruption from the Trump Crime Family is breathtaking. Trump’s crypto firm received $2 billion from the United Arab Emirates in May. Two weeks later, the White House agreed to give the U.A.E. access to hundreds of thousands of the world’s most advanced computer chips.

Yeah. Amazing how this bombshell has gone largely under the radar. And it includes plenty of frontline clinical staff, too. We ALREADY have c100,000 staff vacancies. But apparently problems in the NHS are the fault of striking workers. Bonkers.

Israel has systematically bombed homes, residential towers, hospitals, and shelters in Gaza City, killing dozens of Palestinians and forcibly displacing thousands of others. This is what Israel has done in the past 24 hours alone.

therecount For the second time in three weeks, the DOJ has dropped charges against a client represented by Pam Bondi's brother. Brad Bondi’s winning streak is raising eyebrows over possible conflicts of interest — although the DOJ insists Pam Bondi had “no role” in the decisions.

Hi! I was homeless. That's me he wants to kill. If you don't know me, hi, I am pretty nice, I think. I'm a privacy lawyer. I drive a cute yellow Bronco. I do art. I have two really fluffy Maine coon cats. I volunteer at food banks when I can. This guy would have killed me for being homeless.

With alt-text and the headline fixed.
Screenshot of a headline from a YouGov poll. Original text reads: 

Britain's white working-class young men are flocking to Reform
Nigel Farage is winning over the UK's left-behind male youth. It could bring him victory

Altered by me to read:

Britain's old men are flocking to Reform

Nigel Farage is winning over the UK's grumpy old men. It could bring him victory


Screenshot of a YouGov voting intention poll broken down by age and gender 

In the 18-24 group 14% of men and 7% of women would vote Reform. While 18% of men and 34% of women would vote Green. 

65+ age group 40% of Men and 32% of women would vote Reform while less than 5% of either gender would vote Green.

Pointing out Charlie Kirk's hate speech is not hate speech. It's objective reporting. Apologize to Matthew Dowd and rehire him. A full-throated embrace of genocide is hate speech – beyond all measure. Fire Brian Kilmeade. Immediately.

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem
