Q: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?

TRUMP: I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do Red Cross. Only the fake news could come up with that one.
Trump caves to the wrath of the Knights Templar!

Last week, a worker one of Amazon's Portland area facilities died on the warehouse floor. Employees were told to look away and keep working.

“No one wants to talk about the white working class!” says the dude who just said he has a best selling book about it
This is art. I don't want to know if it's satire. Too good to check.

So I'm not trying to knock the gesture here, I get the sentiment. I feel for the astronaut who lost his wife as it was devastating to lose my father-in-law, who I loved very much, to glioblastoma suddenly in 2023.
But 4 astronauts deciding to name a spot on THE FUCKING MOON after ONE GUY'S WIFE while the other 8 BILLION of us down here have no input on
NAMING SHIT ON THE FUCKING MOON still feels like colonizer behavior to me.
I don't care if one of them was a black dude.
Sorry to hear that Lyndon Laney has passed on. Laney amps rule.
Bishop Robert Barron, who serves on Trump’s own religious liberty commission and has appeared with the president on multiple occasions recently, has released a statement that asks Trump to apologize to Pope Leo.

This is notable from Barron, who has often aligned publicly w/Trump and/or his allies.

The statements made by President Trump on Truth Social regarding the Pope were entirely inappropriate and disrespectful. They don't contribute at all to a constructive conversation. It is the Pope's prerogative to articulate Catholic doctrine and the principles that govern the moral life. In regard to the concrete application of those principles, people of good will can and do disagree. I would warmly recommend that serious Catholics within the Trump
administration-Secretary Rubio, Vice President Vance, Ambassador Brian Burch, and others-might meet with Vatican officials so that a real dialogue can take place. This is far preferable to the statements on social media.
I am very grateful for the many ways that the Trump administration has reached out to Catholics and other people of faith. It has been a high honor to serve on the Religious Liberty Commission. No President in my lifetime has shown a greater dedication to defending our first liberty. All that said, I think the President owes the Pope an apology.
'this is not a serious attempt to unite the left - accordingly, we are starting a new party' approaches the Platonic ideal of far left resignation statements
Adam Bienkov @adambienkov.bsky.social
Your Party's entire Scottish interim executive has resigned en masse, declaring it "over" and saying they will start a new party instead.

Says Your Party is not a "serious attempt to unite the left" and "cannot recover."

First tweet I saw after going onto Twitter extremely briefly (still a bin fire):

Man creates imaginary Greggs conspiracy, corrects himself, then carries on being angry anyway.

Also apparently there’s a mysterious demographic that eats chicken.

Huge if true.
New version of Greggs sausage rolls have replaced pork with chicken. Can't help but see this as pandering to Muslim dietary rules. You wouldn't think this was England. 

Edit: Chicken Rolls and Sausage Rolls are two separate items on the menu. That is not the point, the point is this new version was released with a specific demographic in mind.
At a rough guess, doubling renewable generation and keeping the same rate of load growth by 2040 would actually (or come close to) eliminate fossil fuels from their power grid

Some good environmental pledges from Magyar. He wants to end dependency on Russian energy by 2035, & double renewables by 2040. Plans to improve energy efficiency in 25% of homes within 10-15 years. Introduce strict enviro sanctions, increase recycling & stop supporting polluting foreign investors

I appreciate this isn't the main point here, but what the fuck is that thing flying above Trump, and which World of Warcraft raid do we have to kill it in before it destroys Azeroth?
A flying... thing... Listen, I'm sorry but I literally can't describe it. It's humanoid, it has what are either wings or banners or machine guns behind it. It's not clear if it has a head. It has three spikes coming out of where it's neck should be. 

I'm scared. Hold me.

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.
