Xavier Becerra put the Steve Hilton contradiction right on the debate stage: enforce Trump’s federal immigration laws, but ignore California’s own protections? Then he dropped the hammer: “You seem to welcome immigrants who look like you, but deport immigrants who look like me.”

I'm delighted to learn this, not least because the next item on my task list, which is to take my pet geese to see a well-known play by Samuel Beckett, is also a palindrome: "TO DO: Geese see Godot".

I've interviewed and hired so many people in my life for an incredible range of roles and never have I put "required characteristic: does not drink iced coffee" on a person spec. How do these weird people become hiring managers, let alone feel it's useful to share their bizarrothink on the Interweb.

I am made FURIOUS by the needless pain they’re made to suffer. Queer kids exist, I was one. I knew from very young. Trans kids exist, listen to them. The relentless cruelty of JK Rowling and her ilk are torturing these kids. So no, I will not shut up.

It's OK for criminal ex-neo Nazis to run your bins is a hell of a line.
Tweet from x.com by Kevin Schofield of HuffPost:

NEW: Kemi Badenoch says what former neo-Nazi Joshua Bonehill-Paine did was "appalling and abhorrent", suggests she wouldn't want him to be a Tory MP, but says it's OK for him to be a councillor because they only deal with things like "parking and putting out bins".

The historic character of New York City neighbourhoods will be destroyed by "fewer cars, and more dumpsters". Fewer cars, how, er, tragic and anti-historic. 😂😂😂

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

Penrose tiling is irregular/aperiodic. Currently trying to persuade builders that I'm not insane for wanting Penrose tiles in our bathroom. Incidentally, I loved these Penrose tile sand toys I found outside Maths village at @emfcamp.bsky.social

We’ve got this all wrong. This is clearly an adaptation of the Shamen’s seminal house music ode to the drug ecstasy “Ebenezer Goode”. “E’s are good/E’s are good/whoa oh oh/He’s Ebenezer Goode!” It’s just 2 hours of Depo dancing like Bez. For which he will be paid 65 million dollars.

It’s also just a basic point about decency. Either calls for murdering minorities are a dealbreaker for you in using someone’s product or they aren’t. For Labour (and the Conservatives, and the Lib Dems, and Greens) they should be.
