The word you are looking for is hanged—otherwise, you're just repeating a wishful daydream of Donald Trump.

The treatment of Jason Arday was massively out of proportion to his faults. People who have committed terrible crimes have received less scrutiny, yet I don't believe anything he did or said even crossed the threshold of criminality. How many of us would have survived what he was put through? 🧵

Funny isn't it how misogyny and actual violence towards women can be overlooked by some folk who claim they are 'champions of women'?

I reckon the threat to Farage is about 100th of that directed at Diane Abbott but his performative whinging is 100x greater.

The polar opposite reactions here to the deaths of Sam Neill and Lindsey Graham are such a reminder that we all have a choice whether to live our lives in a way that brings joy or misery to those around us. I think if you’re remembered fondly as Sam Neill is today, you’ve pretty much won at life.

The question for Nigel Farage now is whether it's less embarrassing to un-resign and claim that was an establishment stitchup, or to spend a month competing with a bin. Neither is exactly a *great* option. Neither solves his ongoing scandals. And it's a mess entirely of his own making.

I've been following the progress of this foal called Rocky who was born with three legs! I've NEVER seen this before, a horse with three legs isn't like dogs or cats with a missing limb, it's basically unheard of. But he's 7 months old and the vet says he's doing great. I love the way he eats grass.

Charlie Kirk was a white supremacist who pushed the racist Great Replacement Theory. Kirk was vociferously anti-LGBTQ. Kirk's final words were to besmirch Black people. Stop this revisionism. People who say bad things don't deserve to be murdered, but they also don't deserve to be praised either.

What I’ve been watching, no. 2: Lamhe, dir. Yash Chopra, 1991, India. A classic Yash Chopra romantic Bollywood epic of boy meets girl, boys loses girl, boy falls for girl’s identical daughter, made shortly after Chopra hit on his hit formula of romance, exotic locations, NRI subplots, and wealth.

Money that JKR earns from Harry Potter is used to fund legal actions designed to reduce trans women’s rights, e.g. in the workplace. The harms from this will affect all trans communities. Personally, I will do what I can to not line her purse further.

The best way I can articulate how I know trans women are women is….whenever I’ve met a trans woman I’d have to work extremely hard to see them as anything other than a woman, ya know? I’ve seen GCs call women “HE!!!” and just thought “you’ve had to try SO hard to do that to her”.

"I couldn't help but wonder . . . where *is* Yemen? And how did I get in this crazy group chat about the place? At first, everyone was high-fiving each other. And just like that, everyone was talking about dropping bombs. Funny, how chats, like friendships, can turn like that."

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

After months of collective punishment and the death of over 40,000 in Gaza, any suggestion Palestinians should be removed from their home is unacceptable and dangerous. There must be no ethnic cleansing. Only a proper two state solution will bring lasting peace.
