We created gyms because modern day work no
longer required physical activity. Without exercise,
our muscles atrophy.
I predict we'll need gyms for our brains too, once Al
starts doing our knowledge work.

By Suella Braverman's definition of Englishness as being "a lineage, an ancestry, a connection to the heritage of this country which dates back a few generations," I'm no longer English. So where shall I go and live when Reform comes knocking?

I’m not English either. But then I didn’t really think of myself as that… more British European… but the Brexity lot saw to that. Demanding that we had to lose our rights and European citizenship so they didn’t have to hear polish spoken on a train. Braverman’s politics is such inadequate bullshit.

Only Reform will take £5 million bribes, accept illegal foreign donations, let convicted fraudsters bankroll them, buy houses in their girlfriend's name to avoid tax, help crypto billionaires get richer and do fuck all for ordinary people. 😊

really makes you wonder why... what about Deshaun Watson does Chris Myers connect with...? what makes Watsons story so appealing to Myers...? 🤔 It's not normal to talk that way about a QB who just completed 53% of his passes for 4.8 yards/attempt unless there's something that really feels personal

Aaron Rodgers is a guy we disagree with on some stuff. Deshaun Watson is a criminal.

Chris Myers cannot shut up about Deshaun Watson on the Fox broadcast. Just heaping praise on him for tuning out the fans, focusing on football, etc. Just so unnecessary and gross. You can call the game without bending over backwards to praise a serial sexual abuser.

Fuck "defies." That sounds almost heroic and ennobled, like some sort of none-shall-pass defense of the realm. In a presumed nation of laws, when you ignore the order of a court, you VIOLATE that order and place yourself outside ot the law and in opposition to the premise of the republic itself.

NEWS: The DOJ lawyer defending Trump's ban on
CNN, MSNBC and Politico is Michael Velchik. In college, he wrote a Latin class essay from Hitler's point of view, so disturbing his instructor made him redo it. In 2013 he called Mein Kampf his favorite book he'd read that year and praised Hitler's grasp of propaganda without mentioning the Holocaust.
This is the man now arguing in federal court that the press has no right to White House access.

50% pass rush win rate for Christian Barmore last night, a massive number. Just 1 QB hit but this PRWR number shows Barmore beat his blocker quickly, repeatedly.

Ruby Bridges was 6-years-old when she stepped into the history books. Bravely accompanied by her mother, she was the first Black child to desegregate an all-white school in the South. It was not long ago… Today is her birthday. She is still with us. She is 72. Happy birthday, Ruby Bridges 💜

To answer your question Mr Lowe, I do. His name is Nasser Hamid. He was 16 when he left his village, to escape Sudan's civil war. He could not speak English. Look what he achieved! I admire his courage, resourcefulness and intelligence. All qualities sadly lacking in... certain people 🤮

As academic dishonesty cases go, this one was pretty minor. It wasn't on the level of Andrew Wakefield whose fraudulent Lancet study supercharged the antivax movement or Lesné and Ashe's bogus work on amyloid that threw off Alzheimer's research for a generation.

How the hell have journalists allowed Farage and Yusuf to pretend that their Royal Navy idea is a ‘humanitarian’ mission if ‘innocent’ immigrants are taken back to France, but a full-scale war-like ‘invasion’ of ‘illegals’ if coming our way? I mean, seriously. Please don’t be this hopeless…

Farewell to saxophonist Plas Johnson, who played the iconic tenor sax solo for the "Pink Panther" title theme. He said: "We only did two takes, I think... When we finished, everyone applauded, even the string players. And that's saying something. They never applaud for anything." #filmsky #musicsky

Tories, Farage and the tantruming tabloids whining about Burnham needing a mandate and the country needing an election… just get in the bin. Your histrionics over the last decade have caused this instability and perma-outrage. A bunch of entitled inadequates unable to accept Labour being in power.

Burnham is radical on devolution, public ownership and electoral reform. He has appointed serious people with proven track records. He is charismatic, has real emotional presence, and a proven appeal to voters. Why wouldn’t a progressive be excited? open.substack.com/pub/arguably...

I agree with this. If you need to have parallel adverts telling the public how to take care of themselves there must be something inherently unhealthy about your product.
