The timeline has officially dissolved into full-scale, late-night internet hallucination. Tommy Robinson has spent the last 48 hours in a state of absolute, frantic hyper-uploading, flooding X with "exclusive, terrifying" footage of the student protests in France. He is

Confession 1: "Did I leave the gas on?" is stolen entirely from Nathan Fillion's guide to acting in a soap opera in the last scene before the ad break where you don't have any lines to cover the music swelling: youtube.com/watch?v=9-RYVRzT…
I mean, it's certainly a lot more helpful than this,

Unfortunately, I am one of the people affected by the layoffs today at Epic. I'm absolutely devastated to leave behind so many amazing Mediatonic colleagues who I loved. So: the job search begins! If you need an experienced writer or narrative designer, please get in touch :)

Please help this chap with his poll
Having had my own WHITE commonwealth educated self supporting Daughter (and Granddaughter) denied UK immigration status I have a SERIOUS problem with the hundreds of thousands of BOGUS asylum seekers being allowed in by the @Conservatives when everybody knows/suspects by far the majority are BOGUS masquerading as economic migrants. Let's tell @RishiSunak @SuellaBraverman @RobertJenrick Just how inept we really think they are! Please RT for large poll, it's important to me. Do you think most of the young undocumented men streaming off the dinghy's down Dover way are genuine asylum seekers (or do you think most are illegal economic migrants that if were to use legal channels would be denied like my daughter) BTW my daughter and family now live in Holland and her business today employs at least 10 people! BTW my BRITISH heritage goes way back to Napoleon's day when the family eventually left the UK for the new British colony in South Africa in the Cape in 1800's My family was denied immigration but this lot are waved on by? It's a travesty and Sunak does not appear to mind apart from the many platitudes IMO Poll question: In your opinion are most genuine asylum seekers or are they chancer's? #DoverDinghy
53%Most are chancers
47%Most are genuine

When you hate a group of people so much, you withdraw your organ donation consent in case one of them get something from you. Being ‘Gender Critical’ is no different from being a racist, and I’m tired of middle-class media types pretending otherwise.

The Dorries resignation letter has made me wonder: if the Tories of 2019 hate the Tories of 2023, why should anyone else in the country like the Tories of 2023 enough to vote for them?

A 5th place loser of a swimming competition posted the name of the librarian, the location, and their phone number and hours later the library got a bomb threat. Every Matt Walsh wannabe is hardcore until their fans turn out to be terrorists

Beyond Nadine Dorries’ long overdue resignation letter being both self-glorifying and self-pitying, it is the perfect example of the current Conservative Party’s ills: blindly furious, lashing out at everything in sight, including the Conservative Party itself.

If you want to know why women don't report assaults, a footballer was kissed against her will in front of millions worldwide, the guy who did it didn't resign & gave a completely different version of events than those caught on camera & people are still debating what happened.

Rubiales’ refusal to resign is horrifying. But it's worse to see the men in the room applaud him - and the leaders in this sport who are still silent If we can't agree to punish sexual misconduct caught on video in front of millions, how can women anywhere in football feel safe?

Wow…Rubiales will never get it. It’s not *just* about the forced kiss on the lips of the player and other demeaning gestures, rather the background of his refusal to listen to a large group of top international 🇪🇸 players who had complained about the culture under the head coach - but were ignored. All focus now should be on whether his successor is someone who’ll respect female players and create a positive culture in which they all feel valued and can thrive.
Replying to @SemraHunter
🚨Luis Rubiales: ·Says the kiss was more a peck than a kiss "un pico más que un beso". He says there's not position of dominance ·He doubles down and calls it a MUTUTAL, CONSENTUAL, spontaneous kiss ·He says that "false feminism is a scourge for society"
