Perhaps Maga Mike can become Gaetz' accountability partner. I'm sure Man of the People Matt will be fine having Covenant Eyes keep him on the straight and narrow.

When you have nothing to say, and a lot of words to not say it in.

Being paid to write about politics without understanding what it is about can only be experienced as one bewilderment after another.

For fuck sake. On the basis of what? Nothing at all. Why in God's name would they take this decision.

this is the equivalent of me interviewing for the CEO position of a company and when they ask me why I'll save the business, I tell them I finished all my vegetables once 30 years ago which makes me more than qualified

Question:,What actions will you take to ensure that our jobs stay in America? Trump: I was honored as the man of the year. Maybe 20 years ago. The fake news heard about it and said, it never happened…

This argument fails the 'what if it was someone you don't like' test. Instead of defending him, use your influence to persuade him that this looks terrible. And it looks terrible because it is.

The total of hospitality & gifts *declared* by Keir Starmer since 2019 is £12,500 *less* than Boris Johnson accepted from Lord Brownlow for home decor. He tried to keep this *secret* by claiming he couldn't remember who'd paid & had lost the phone containing all relevant messages

@callizda I would run with something like: "I'm well aware of that and super proud of you for your decisions... and it's also why I'll know you'll understand why I've had to say 'no' this time."

How do you respond when your teen makes a request and you deny it and then they’re all like “I could be out doing xyz but instead I’m doing everything I’m suppose to and not sneaking around” ?

@prairie_oysters It's a terrible film. Someone with more patience than me should create a chronological edit just to expose its incredible banality

@JasonAtDavid The problem with Oppenheimer (as a film) is that it spends a lot of time pretending to be about Robert Oppenheimer and the Manhattan project but is really about some boring old bitter bastard played by Robert Downey jr. CHRIST THAT FILM IS BORING.
English
An odd conflation.
The glorification of the test detonation in Oppenheimer and the failure to acknowledge where it led is certainly problematic.
It's strange to connect that criticism to Glazer's brilliant study of cognitive dissonance.
Maybe the genre is differentiation?
bailey@baileylikemovie
“Nolan should’ve shown Hiroshima and Nagasaki” “Glazer should’ve shown inside the camp” What should we call this emerging genre of braindead takes?

@Springies As he began to speak, you really think he HAS to acknowledge the brilliant build-up but, no, he's purring about a defender knocking it out for a fucking corner

Fucking Carragher is the polar opposite of Neville when commenting on his own teams games - good piece of attacking play by Brentford and he praises the defending !!

Gotta be honest, I'd always assumed it was a more exciting secret

@jounwin Loved 'Lost on Me' by Veronica Raimo. Every bit as funny as 'Kairos' isn't
English
@bertnews Absolutely. Can you imagine the focus if it was the other way around!? The menace of 'attacks by women' would dominate the discourse.

Could any social media post better demonstrate how the hatred of otherness leaks beyond transphobia to demonise women who do not conform to a narrow notion of womanhood?
J.K. Rowling@jk_rowling
Could any picture sum up our new men’s rights movement better? The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered. #Paris2024

Please do. Because I'mma be right here speaking on synchronized swimming knowing I can't go beyond waist deep in the tub. Mind your business about my Olympic passions, Margaret.
Sydney Colson@SydJColson
It’s so weird to act like people can’t discuss a sport during the Olympics if we don’t watch it year round. Get a grip 😂

@lamarijuanera @theashleyray I love it, and feel it is uplifting because it's about how the city is always there for you
English
@theashleyray I know it’s not uplifting but Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers is about LA. Almost plays like a love song to the city. IMO of course.
