- This is quite a disappointing story.
- Fifteen minutes of your time you will not regret using for this rhetorical and political masterclass. One for the ages. youtu.be/izDAOvHz5Wc?...
- This image, not entirely unlike that of Alan Kurdi ten years ago, should do something to you if your moral compass is intact. It is a bright cold day in January, and the clocks are striking thirteen.

- “It was very important, however, that we ensure the media understood the basis on which we were defending the case.”
- It’s sad to see the care staff let an 80 year old confused man embarrass himself like that.

- Reposted by Nils HoppeSix federal prosecutors in Minnesota resigned over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of Renee Good, the woman killed by an ICE agent, and the department’s reluctance to investigate the shooter, according those with knowledge of their decision. nyti.ms/4qUl36Z

- Reposted by Nils HoppeCan't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints
- And we go live to our roundup of the international response to the US kidnapping a foreign leader…
- Watched Back to the Future 1-3 with the kids yesterday as we were waiting for the New Year. The portrayal of Biff Tannen as a grotesque, sexist, criminal millionaire who has taken over America now seems painfully prescient rather than comedic. The parallels (also optically) are mind boggling.

- Christ, MyHMCTS is going to make me cry at some point soon. I could’ve developed something more useful and less infuriating for a fraction of the cost and at twice the speed. With my hands tied behind my back. Blindfolded. Sedated.

- Finding it really hard not to swear profusely at these sycophantic clowns.
- Convicted for a dishonesty offence last year, and now convicted for assaulting a police officer. Apart from being a B-list politician, he‘s also a barrister (currently NP but you wouldn’t know from his chambers profile at 1EC). Surely a prime case for BSB to take action? www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/...

- I swear I will never watch another FIFA world cup match again in my lifetime if this made up sycophancy trophy goes to the Oompa Loompa.
- Social media management and reading comprehension. A drama in three acts.
- Look at all the people gawping at the ICE ICE snatching someone else out of their everyday life without due process or accountability. If you’d told people a couple of years ago that there would be anonymous militarised federal abduction squads roaming the streets, they wouldn’t have believed you.
- Insanity is now a mainstream political ideology. What I find almost more concerning is the matter-of-fact style with which this is increasingly reported. This should lead to her being sectioned, not seriously interviewed. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
