"Quiet, piggy!" In the current climate it's very easy to forget this level of nastiness from a person in his position should be unconscionable. What a pathetic boor he is.

XL Bully dogs account for less than 3% of the dog population but are responsible for about half of all attacks in the UK. Every single one should be culled, without exception. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

You gotta give credit where it's due - not a vote to his name but Jamie Bryson is the undisputed leader of unionism. What he wants.. he gets.

My good wife got us tickets to Jamie Duffy in the Ulster Hall on Saturday night past and I'm ashamed to say I didn't actually know anything about him prior, despite him growing 3 miles away from where I grew up. Anyway - he's fantastic and has a huge future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT0a...

Every headline talking about Kimmel being suspended for his “Kirk comments” is journalistic malpractice. He was suspended for comments about MAGA opportunists exploiting Kirk’s death, after the FCC chair issued a Mafioso threat.

Elmo's social media hellscape is reaching new heights of disinformation and hysteria today. America and, to a lesser extent, the western world now live in two parallel realms and shit's now got so bad I'm worried the twain never again shall meet.

What a time to be alive. I think it's fair to say what used to be known as the broad middle in British politics is now absolutely obliterated. A complete capitulation to the worse instincts of the worst people you can think of. Just throw the keys to Tommy Robinson and be done with it ffs.

Putin has always played Trump like a fiddle, going back to the Russian brothels in his NYC tower, his addiction to stimulants and his unbridled narcissism matched only by his sheer stupidity in geopolitical affairs. You are witnessing the harvesting of a decades long operation.

It's strange how little we talk about Brexit now, isn't it? The word has vanished from the headlines. But the issue hasn't. It's just showing up in different places, disguised as other problems. (1/6)
