@SartorialThug Anyone not properly dressed in tweed should be denied entry. Yours truly leading by example when last there.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Early reports of DISGUSTING SCENES at Cheltenham as the gates open. One eyewitness said "it's a men's toggery disaster zone. Bare ankles, tight strides and shit shoes all over the gaff... I feel sick even before forcing down a Guinness and pretending to like it".

@TeamTalaricoHQ @designmom @jamestalarico OMG… 😱

.@JamesTalarico: Are you aware that this bill removes the writings of Frederick Douglass? Republican: I am Talarico: Are you aware that this bill removes the writings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.? Republican: Yes Talarico: Yet this bill still includes the writings of Alexis de Tocqueville, and he's not even an American. Could that be because he's a white man? Republican: N-not exactly…

.@JamesTalarico: Can you name a school where it has been confirmed that students are using litter boxes? Republican: W-well… This bill prevents that from happening Talarico: Can you name a school where that’s happening? Republican: N-no I cannot Talarico: I find it concerning that these types of debunked conspiracy theories are being used by politicians at the highest levels of our government who know that they're incorrect. This whole thing is just weird and honestly a little creepy, and I think that's the point because this is all, in my opinion, a manufactured, debunked smear campaign against our Texas public schools. These culture war attacks are nothing more than an effort to discredit our public schools to justify defunding those public schools. Texas librarians are not grooming kids, Texas teachers are not indoctrinating kids, and Texas schools are not providing litter boxes. And I think the most disappointing part about all this is that I think you know that.

I wish we lived in a world where I didn't feel constantly compelled to post this video, but until then here's Tony Benn speaking on war with clarity and moral conviction that you won't see from the evil people running the world today

Bridget Phillipson seemed more interested in pointing out that Tories created the university loan system than addressing the fact that the government currently charges usurious interest rates to graduates @bbclaurak @BBCPolitics @LauraTrottMP

Last year Starbucks didn’t pay a penny in UK corporation tax That’s while bringing in around £500 million in sales Around £40 million was paid to its parent company, helping the UK arm post a loss & avoid a tax bill Shop local. And support independent businesses

@soniasodha Even the interest rates alone are a scandal

I actually can’t believe how long it’s taken for student loans to blow up. I’ve been writing about inherent unfairness in the system since 2015- complacent uni sector & ministers ignored the breathtaking lack of accountability for how young people’s future earnings being spent.

It’s astonishing that so much money has been spent on Battersea power station, and yet the parking is like the worst council parking lot ever — weird layout, no way to see where the open spaces are, dead ends… I waited 10 minutes just trying to exit

The leader of the LGB Courage Coalition testified in favor of protecting girls' sports. "We can protect all kids, including gender non-conforming kids, by welcoming effeminate boys into boys' sports and welcoming masculine girls into girls' sports. That is real inclusion."

@MarinaHyde Can’t wait for it!

I am doing another book! When they brought out the last one, Liz Truss had just been triumphantly installed as PM, and Brooklyn Beckham had recently got a chest tattoo reading MAMA’S BOY. Felt like time for some updates…

In Italy, one of the hobbies for older men is “Umarell”. Retired men who enjoy watching construction sites while giving unsolicited advice

@PicturesFoIder Love this. It embodies thinking that I recognize as a native Texan when I lived there growing up

She still hasn't given me my Tupperware back:

A case study in how @British_Airways, by setting impossibly high tier point hurdles, is going to lose a lot of money/big paying customers. Planning my next trip to NYC in Spring. Normally I’d do business Nice-London on BA, return first class London-NYC-London and business London-Nice, fitting in a few working days in London there and back. All up the fares would come to around £5,000 for flights in second half of April. A lot of money — especially since it comes out of my pocket. Nobody picks up my expenses. But at my age I like to travel in comfort. And I like the BA crews. However now that the tier point hurdle is too high for renewing guest list status for all but perpetual travellers, why bother planning a schedule round BA flights? I’ve booked Nice-NYC-Nice first class return on Delta for just over €3,000. No brainer, really. Direct flight, almost half the price. And @British_Airways will lose £5,000. Plus much more if this now becomes my regular NYC schedule. I can’t tell you the number of people I know now doing similar flight schedule planning which simply removes BA from the planning, when it used to be at the centre. And, yes, I know it’s most definitely a first-world problem! But BA makes most of its money from passengers flying first/business. With fewer of us the fares of premium/economy passengers will rise. Well done @British_Airways. How to stuff loyal, high-paying customers of longstanding for no good reason whatsoever. Hi @Delta. Thanks for reserving me seat 1A both ways! Can’t wait.

Wow.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: A lot of "mental health issues" disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.

So, CBS News decided not to air this 25 yr veteran federal agent pointing out all the ways the ICE agent was in the wrong for shooting Renee Good, on its broadcast (I wonder why🤨). At least it’s online. Reshare.
