Death threats are so unimaginative. Why not send someone a life threat instead. Dear [Insert Name], I am going to make you live your best life, whether you want to or not! See, that’s way more terrifying.

Pitch for a new Reality TV show: Trump must survive 24 hours in the hotel, but every other guest is an assassin. It would be a very short show, but imagine the ratings!

Wow, that is some mighty tone deaf graphic design!
A noisy magazine cover, that sports lots of text, most notably: “94 prizes to be won”, “that’s life!” and “Mum’s agony, my boy was STABBED to death at school”.

In the middle of it all a woman is smiling inanely.

I know people love to make fun of Trump and his stupidity/dementia but remember his family are involved in this too and there’s no way this deal doesn’t involve a massive kickback to Trump’s family - real estate development deals would be my guess 😡

NEW: Growing fears of food shortages on USS Tripoli & other US ships in the Middle East. This photo is the kind of meals now being served. It was sent by a sailor to her family. Families are now trying to send food parcels to the ships. Full story 👉 www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
A photo of a tray with three sections empty. One has chopped carrot in it. The other has what can only be described as a posit of brown dog vomit and an insole liner of a sneaker (or a used panty liner from the mid 1700s). The kind of meal that would have you happily tossing yourself overboard.

A screenshot of a supermarket checkout message from a few weeks back that prominently reads “Return Trans.”

A photo from the local supermarket where a wrongly labelled discount scored me a free $70 pack of razors and this hilarious message.  My favourite part is the full stop.  It’s so final - the customer is trans now.  No going back!

This is Director of WHO. And that’s exactly the point I’m trying to make all day every day this week.
Covering sessions daily at the Commission on the Status of Women this week, one question keeps coming up for me:
How can responsible media better amplify the institutions trying to address global crises?
Too often we are not meeting the moment — we are being entertained by it.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus & @DrTed...• 6h
Global military expenditure just hit $2.7 trillion - in a single year.
According to @UN estimates, ending world hunger by 2030 would require $93 billion annually.
That means we spend almost 30 times more every year on killing each other than on making sure everyone eats.

When you hear them target any vulnerable community—immigrants, trans people, refugees—ask first why they're trying to distract and divide us. Don't fall for it.
Screenshot of an X post by HasanAbi commenting on how to discuss trans issues with median voters. The post quotes Marco Foster, who says the anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to distract from tax discussions and notes that very few trans kids compete in high school sports there. Below is a podcast-style video still of a man speaking into a microphone.

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...
An official letter from the Kansas Division of Vehicles dated February 23, 2026, with a redacted recipient address. The letter notifies the recipient that due to the enactment of Senate Bill 244, all Kansas driver's licenses and IDs must reflect the holder's sex at birth. It states that the recipient's current credential will become invalid immediately upon the law's publication on February 26, 2026, with no grace period. The recipient is directed to surrender their current ID to receive a new one matching their sex assigned at birth. The document concludes with instructions on how to appeal the notice if received in error, along with contact information for the department.

I love that US media simply can't stop blaming Palestinians for bad things. Israel committing genocide and Harris not committing to stopping Israel's genocide cost Harris votes. Gaza suffered genocide. Palestinians being torched alive didn't cost Harris votes. Harris cost Harris votes.
Axios headline: "Scoop: Dems working on secret report found Gaza cost Harris votes."
