Which, coincidentally, is something Trump would definitely struggle to do. Can you imagine what would happen if he was asked to do some proper work? #diaperchange

Unfortunately for Bad Enoch, there were other far more memorable posters put out by the Tories that were blatantly racist. Reform are those Tories. Restore are those Tories.

1/x Two of the best-known coats on any high street began as working kit for sailors on cold decks. Both carry names from my little corner of the North Sea: Duffel, a small town near Antwerp, and the Dutch word "pij". The story of the duffel coat and the peacoat. #maritimehistory

Bloke in my cricket club WhatsApp the other day, apropos of nothing, posted “Love Poland. No leftist shit” There were no replies.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

There are lessons from history. Back in the 80s dogs were largely behind the otherwise inexplicable chart successes of things like the Birdy Song and Black Lace - while cats were exploring obscure pop acts like Strawberry Switchblade or The Lilac Time.

If the owners are dismissed, and banned from any future involvement in football, then I think the FA would be able to find a place for them in the EFL. Without that fans of other clubs are bound to protest. City as a club can only survive without the current owners.

Most state attorneys general released Meta from Cambridge Analytica-related claims as part of the child safety settlement. New Mexico wasn't part of that deal, and a jury there just found 26 of 29 past claims about Cambridge Analytica, hate speech and misinformation willfully deceptive.

Eight Years On, Cambridge Analytica Scandal Catches Up With Meta in Santa Fe
A jury found that Meta—then Facebook—misled the public in statements about Cambridge Analytica and its policies on hate speech, violence and misinformation.

A thing I learned about Meta when I was trying to understand how their statements relate to their actions a few years ago is that *they just tell absolutely indefensible lies* and journalists almost always let them. They believed no one would ever punish them for it in any way that matters.

Just 4 months after the local elections, Reform UK (RefUK) have lost 158 of their local councillors: -55 resigned -42 went Independent -28 defected -24 were kicked out -5 lost their seats -2 disqualified -2 suspended. Appalling record - and a waste of taxpayers’ money!

I’ll take the great yawning silence as a no. And this is the great shame of online discourse, children. People on the same side of an argument can get to falling out because of a burning need to belittle and scorn. It will mark this generation for many years to come.

I think you’re right in some countries - including us in some years. That said, I think the overall quality is poor and most of the time, people who would consider themselves true artists wouldn’t even consider competing. But I have quite wonky, non-mainstream taste so…ymmv

When any minority, in seeking parity in public discourse of their rights, compares the lack of either coverage or care afforded it by perceived allies with an unrelated issue, it weakens the legitimate plea for that sought after parity and stifles progress.

Thersites @greyg.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
I do think the constant use of false equivalents dents the possibility of making a solid argument about the rights of any minority.

Dismal, in this context, means very low quality - do you think the songwriting is high quality and the pool is representative of the talent available in that art form?

I got caught drawing knobs in my Tricolore. My French teacher tasked me with removing them - so I carefully (almost lovingly) painted over every line with tippex rendering the knobs more prominent. Resplendent white knobs.

There are only five constituencies nationally where Sverigedemokratarna didn’t lose vote share in this election. It really is the most emphatic rejection of their campaign.
