Listen, if the Biden campaign wanted to quell concerns about his age, they would have put him out there, like in the post-debate pressroom, a rally, an event at the Stonewall monument, a national address, a medal of honor ceremony, a meeting with governors, another rally, and televised interview.

Quite pleased with the idea that there’s the Cabinet, The Shadow Cabinet, and the Trophy Cabinet, which now contains Schapps, Mordaunt, Rees-Mogg, and Truss.

The best thing about British democracy is when the actual head of government has to stand in a leisure centre at 5 am beside a guy with a bin on his head to find out if he still has a job.

Extraordinary article. Apparently Chinese students in the US are paying fees of tens of $k in cash, via laundering of Fentanyl proceeds. Why the hell are universities not subject to AML rules ?!

Who gives a damn what Horton / the Lancet says about anything. The fact that it took him *12 years* to retract the Wakefield paper means he bears heavy responsibility for the anti-vax movement.

O beautiful, for spacious skies
But now those skies are threatening
They're beating plowshares into swords

Just seen ostensibly left wing* people here saying that Sunak deserves no sympathy over racist attacks on him because he’s chased Reform’s vote, and no. Just no. If your anti-racism is contingent on someone’s politics it’s not a principle, it’s a weapon, and not anti-racism at all. * white, obv.
