RT @ifudontlike2bad: Frightening reality. Very well said. I've been screaming about this. Unfortunately, people will find out the hard way.…

Donald Trump's victory is a crushing defeat for the "global elite", says Trump-supporting Old Etonian, international hedge fund millionaire, and member of the landed gentry, Jacob Rees-Mogg

George Monbiot on #PoliticsLive absolutly tearing Suella Bravermans claim the world is safer under Trump "To me Braverman is a fake patriot, who the moment a demagogue arrives prostrates herself" From Putin to nuclear threats, It's well worth 60 seconds of your day #Election2024 #USAElection2024

Imagine if you ran a branch of Greggs but you got fired for being corrupt. So one day you got everyone to storm Greggs and smash it up, and your only punishment is Greggs asking you back to run a Greggs again. That’s basically America.

Good thing to come up today.

Susie never misses.

UK exit polls: bing bong, here’s the prime minister US exit polls: is it better to be loved or feared? Give your answer to the nearest cubit

Being British is wanting to move to America as a child then thinking “fuck that” as an adult.

I've never received so many prayers from atheists.

Etymology of the day is 'on tenterhooks' (not 'tenderhooks'): tenters, once a common sight, are wooden frames on which freshly milled cloth is stretched so that it dries without shrinking. To be on tenterhooks is to be as tense and taut as the cloth itself.

Don't Mention It!

Dear America,

Happy Guy Fawkes Day America. May you be as successful ridding your country of treasonous plotters as we once were.

BREAKING: Will.i.am just dropped a new track titled "Yes She Can"—and yes, “She” is Kamala Harris. This is the anthem America needs to hear right now.

Don't get this trending during the US Election. It would really make Janey Godley RIP smile, and really piss off Trump and Elon Musk.

Remembering Janey Godley as this came up om my feed.

Wee - #sophiefromromania with a Glasgow accent @ruskin147 😂 #janeygodleyvoiceover

Janey was a brilliant storyteller who embodied the stoic nature of Glasgow, offering audiences a very honest window into how she processed sometimes traumatic and sometimes hilarious stories from her life. Her stories were raw and truthful, both devastating and uplifting, very often in the same sentence; and all shot through with her sharp wit and ability to bring characters to life. She has inspired many - not least all of us at BBC Radio 4 - with her instinct to always make people laugh in the face of darkness, bringing both dignity and empowerment to those different aspects of herself.  Janey was entering a new exciting phase of her career, and she has gone too soon. But what a life. It’s her daughter Ashley and Janey’s husband who we are thinking of at this time. The team at Radio 4 send them our love and we will raise a glass to Janey’s legacy which lives on in her work. Janey Godley, 1961-2024 - Julia McKenzie, Commissioning Editor

Twitter this morning is awash with tributes to the lovely, loyal @JaneyGodley who has left us. I’m not sure Janey was too bothered about personal fame; but what will delight her is how many people want to remember and amplify her messages of what is right and what is decent 💜

So very sad to hear about @JaneyGodley. She was a brilliant comedian and writer and such a wonderful person to be around. I worked with her a few times and she was always fantastic. A great loss to comedy and the world. RIP Janey.
