Fat fucking chance. The ink is still drying on "@Americafirst44@mastodon.social". It may be a parody account, but I'm not waiting to find out. Blocked.

@CultureDesk @RollingStone People piling on Ed should read the full article. Ed was caught between a rock and a hard place. He has 10 stadium shows left on the US leg of his tour (about 600,000 tickets) and several of them threatened to cancel if Macklemore […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

On Tuesday, Sheeran reiterated that the decision to drop Macklemore was not his, but that of promoter Messina Touring Group following pressure from the venues. “I have spent this week trying to build bridges, to find a solution and unfortunately, was unable to do so,” Sheeran wrote. “I know who I am, both as a person and as an artist, and those who know my heart know my values too.”

Over one in four people in Clacton would rather have Count Binface as their MP than the leader of Reform UK. 100x more votes than he got against Andy Burnham. 👍🏼 Farage was so scared of being photoed next to a 🗑️ he didn't even turn up for the count results […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

Count Binface says he's winner among candidates 'who bothered to turn up'

Count Binface has taken to social media to declare:

I came first in the Clacton byelection! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results.

The self-declared “entirely independent space warrior” who emerged as Farage’s strongest challenger – aka comedian Jon Harvey – also said in his “victory speech” posted on X:

Well a new dawn has broken, has it not? Literally, because it’s past 6.30 in the morning here in Clacton-on-Sea.

Citing the 9,455 votes he received at the poll, Binface said that just eight weeks ago in the Makerfield byelection he got 95.

That means, I’ve got – against Nigel Farage – 10,000% more votes than I got against Andy Burnham. What does that tell you?

Well it tells you that Nigel, who said that he didn’t want to be humiliated, maybe has been. As for me, I’m over the moon – I’m over your moon, I’m over my moons – and what comes next, well we shall see.

But you know what, we know this for a fact: over one in four people in this constituency would rather have Count Binface as their MP than the leader of Reform UK. And I’m just getting started.

My wife bought this on Sunday and gave me a piece earlier without telling me what it was. I had no idea it was vegetarian. I could tell it was something new, as the taste was somewhere between chicken and pork, but the texture was so like meat it completely […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

It's livened up now. Not really interested in soaked and mushed up cat food from a syringe.

Donald Trump is trying to gaslight his base into thinking Joe Biden's pardons aren't valid because they were digitally signed instead of using a pen. How ridiculous. When asked about this on camera later he responded: "it's not my decision, it's up to a […] [Original post on mastodon.me.uk]

Screenshot of a Truth Social post from @realDonaldTrump. The text reads:

The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime.

Oh oh, freezing fog is on the way 🥶 #NorthernIreland #weather #fog

Official updates From Met Office - Last updated 37 mins ago

Wednesday's fog is expected to expand and become fairly widespread, with visibilities in some places falling below 100m. This will make for difficult driving conditions and may also lead to disruption of public transport. With temperatures close to, and in places below freezing, icy patches in freezing fog will be an additional hazard. What should | do? Give yourself the best chance of avoiding delays by checking road conditions if driving, leaving extra journey time, or amending plans if necessary. Make sure you know how to switch on your fog lights, and check they are working before setting off on your journey. Bus and train services, as well as flights and ferry travel, may also be affected; check for updates from your travel company, and follow their advice. Be prepared for weather warnings to change: when a weather warning is issued, the Met Office recommends staying up to date with the weather forecast in your area.
