@K_Niemietz This is a fault of all polling - questions are asked without context given, or information on the likely primary and secondary impacts being provided.

71% of the public are wrong.

@MarkRogers55808 @MarcherReborn Don't worry - it only enters via the nasal passage, so mouth-breathers are unaffected.

@MarcherReborn Yeah because the co2 is the problom in the atmosphere those machines are clearly not for co2 but to try clearing the shit u keep spraying the skys with such bulshit

We’re being governed by idiots

@LFC More empty words after another retirement-worthy display.

Virgil van Dijk gave his assessment of this evening's #UCL defeat in the quarter-final first leg.

@imranyawan @TheAnfieldWrap Need another 2 hours on Szobo's watch.

@TheAnfieldWrap Most sane fans saw this six months ago but top reds like yourselves are only now recognising this. Keep valuing that precious access to the club and complaining about ticket prices.

We're all over the fucking place

@JamieFonzarelli @TheAnfieldWrap The tie is on life support and the cleaner needs a spare socket to plug in their Henry hoover...

@TheAnfieldWrap The tie is alive. All things considered, that was the mission. #UTFR

Defeat in Paris 👎

@TheAnfieldWrap The most pathetic European display since Brendan was in charge.

Liverpool are down by two goals heading into the second leg after not being able to register a single shot on target at the Parc des Princes. Big job on our hands at Anfield next week. Post-match reaction on its way 👉 geni.us/TAWapp

@MrrabGould @OllieHolt22 Or Mourinho.

@OllieHolt22 Imagine the headlines if it was a united manager? Would some slack be cut? Nope!

Heading to Paris for build-up to PSG-Liverpool. Liverpool one of only two English teams in last eight. Maybe it’s time to cut Arne Slot some slack dailymail.co.uk/sport/football…

@anon_opin Some voices are better suited to commentary than others. For co-comms, just want people who have experienced the game on which they are commentating. Seems reasonable. Afterall, TNT/Sky/Amazon won't put some 2nd division male clogger on their Prem/CL coverage.

You've never seen chronic constipation until you see middle-aged men on social media absolutely fuming that there's a woman commentating on the football. All those backed-up stools must fuck with the mind.

@LFCTransferRoom Should have been sold in the January window. Been terrible.

@digitalfoundry With disc, an easy £800.

On the DF website, how much would you pay for PlayStation 6? In the era of the $600 PS5, next-gen pricing will be challenging - but crucial - for Sony: digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/04/h…

@JebraFaushay She went on tour and mimed.

Some say Taylor Swift is the best singer of all time. Listen to her without autotune, you be the judge.

@MachLoopWales Tragic.

For 24 years, I have run @AmaxEstates, a small independent business in #Gravesend. I’ve always paid my dues, supported the local economy and worked hard to build something sustainable. Over the past few weeks, I have been trying to resolve a serious issue with my business rates — and despite multiple emails and attempts to engage, I have received no response from @graveshambc I have been told one rateable value (£12,750) which was also confirmed over phones calls, yet billed another (£15,000), resulting in an increase from £147 per month to £642 per month — a rise of over 340% For a small business, this is simply not sustainable. I have also been unable to access the official system to challenge this before the deadline, despite repeated attempts. I am now left in a position where: • I cannot get clear answers • I cannot challenge through the system • I am facing a bill that could put a 24-year business at risk I have also contacted my local MP, @drlsullivan, and to date have received no response. This is not how small businesses should be treated. I am now working with the press to get answers — not just for myself, but because I suspect I am not the only one facing this. If you are a local business experiencing similar issues, please get in touch. This needs addressing. @VOAgovuk @HMRCgovuk @LauraTrottMP #SmallBusiness #Gravesend #BusinessRates #SupportLocal

@K_Niemietz Needs to get his viewers hyped up, so they can help him Fight The Capitalist Power, by using their Amazon Prime Sub to subscribe to his channel. Please give generously.

Why is he so furious all the time? He has such an easy life. He has fashionable opinions, and millions of adoring fanbois who lap up every word he says. He's immensely privileged in every way that matters, and he has zero right to complain about anything.

@NormanBrennan The supermarkets are all sending a very clear signal - they tolerate shoplifting. I wonder how long that would last if we all stopped paying?

'I tackled a shoplifter just like the government told us to - but then police made ME a criminal': Retired policeman is slapped with £130 fine for helping police catch Sainsbury's shoplifter... while the thief gets off entirely scot-free! Daily Mail Online dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

@footy_road Dawdled on it, instead of clearing it. This after him not bothering during the first goal.

Just before the second goal, Jones went for the ball but received no support from any Liverpool player. They simply stood still and watched

@ATRightMovies What a mistake that was.

On this day in 2009, STAR TREK was released in cinemas. Leonard Nimoy had turned down every invitation to return as Spock. Then three men knocked on his door, and what they said changed everything. For years, Leonard Nimoy had been offered chances to reprise the role of Spock. He turned them all down. He'd retired from acting in 2000, moved into photography, and seemed content to leave the pointy eared Vulcan behind for good. Then Star Trek died. The tenth film, Nemesis, flopped. The TV series Enterprise was cancelled. Paramount were on the verge of losing the franchise rights entirely. They needed a film and fast. Enter J.J. Abrams, screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman, and a script that would reboot the entire universe. But they had a problem. They needed Nimoy. Not as a cameo or a favour. As the emotional bridge between old Trek and new. So the three of them went to his house. Orci later described Nimoy's reaction as a cautious "Who are you guys, and what are you up to?" They laid out their vision. They told him how important he was not just to the film, but to the story they were trying to tell. Then Abrams said the line that changed everything: "We cannot make this film without you, and we won't make this film without you." After they left, his wife Susan told the creative team what happened next. He had remained in his chair, emotionally overwhelmed by the decision he knew he had to make. The man who had spent years walking away from Spock couldn't walk away from this. He said yes because for the first time, a Star Trek script explored the full sweep of Spock's life. Not just the half-human, half-Vulcan conflict he'd played for decades, but the character's entire history, from beginning to end. As Nimoy put it: "We have dealt with Spock being half-human and half-Vulcan, but never with quite the overview that this script has of the character's entire history." And then he gave them one final gift they never asked for. His last scene was originally written as a quiet, wordless exit - Spock Prime walking thoughtfully away. After filming, Nimoy approached Abrams and said: "If you give me one more take, I have a thought I would like to inject here." They rolled the camera and Nimoy said: "Thrusters on full." Abrams later called him to say how perfectly it led into the final scene, where Sulu mentions the thrusters, but Nimoy told him the line wasn't about the ship. It was his way of saying to the younger cast: "Go ahead. Take the torch and go." Star Trek made $385.7 million worldwide and became the first film in the franchise to win an Academy Award. But it started with a knock on a door and three words: "We won't without you."

@MrHistory92 @toadmeister Why was her skirt *that* short anyway?

@toadmeister He must have known he was playing with fire when he displayed such a picture. I am not defending it at all, it's vile but he does bare some responsibility. He would have been able to make the same point if he had just written, picture of the prophet pbuh without upsetting people

Five years on, the Batley teacher who showed a cartoon in a free speech lesson is still in hiding – cleared of any wrongdoing, but abandoned, traumatised and with his life in pieces. dailysceptic.org/2026/04/05/wha…

@TerraOrBust There is no animal welfare in the EU.

The country is starting to wake up to the implications of putting the EU in charge of UK policies. The EU is one of the world's largest producers of animal fur. theguardian.com/world/2026/apr…
