Tomorrow marks the start of fox hunting season.
The Hunting Act 2004 banned the hunting of wild mammals with dogs in England and Wales, including fox hunting, deer hunting, and hare coursing.
@Nigel_Farage says the ban is “an abomination” and “monstrous”.
Make no mistake, he opposes the ban on hare coursing and tearing foxes to pieces with hounds.
That’s what he means when he says ‘country sports’.

WHAT TO DO WHILE AO3 IS DOWN - MASTERPOST

What a heartbreaking week it has been. Sir Patrick Stewart was a friend, a colleague, and a magnificent actor. From the stage to the bridge of the Enterprise, he brought intelligence, grace, and a deep sense of humanity to everything he did. Captain Picard stood for the best of us, and so did the man who played him. I was filled with affection and admiration for him and his work.
My heart goes out to Sunny and his family. He will be deeply missed.

These motherfuckers didn’t just screw over a Pope with cancer. The whole Oleshky story is a Putin information operation designed to save that old orange ass from electoral defeat.
Guys, this needs to become an atomic bomb for the bastards in the White House. If you haven’t written about it yet, share this post. As many people as possible need to know this story.
What I had previously only suspected on instinct has now been confirmed.
It turns out that the absurd “Melania Trump ceasefire” in Oleshky was literally Putin’s idea. He personally “very much wanted” Melania to act as mediator, her senior adviser Mark Beckman told the Kyiv Independent.
Well, you could have guessed that, and I did immediately. A person who can barely string two words together was hardly going to organize something like this better than the Pope.
More than that, Putin sent her a special letter saying that Russia officially recognized Melania as its “exclusive intermediary.”
Do you understand what that means?
Russia has occupied Oleshky for four and a half years, blocked the city, prevented humanitarian aid from getting in, and driven the remaining residents into an acute shortage of food and medicine.
And then Putin picks Trump’s wife as the person who will be allowed to “solve” the problem.
And he does it right before the elections, when Trump’s collapsing ratings desperately need saving. Trump, the politician who is now effectively helping Putin force Ukraine into capitulation.
The White House has already announced that it was Melania who “secured the ceasefire,” while four journalists from Newsmax, Trump’s pet TV network, have been sent to Oleshky as “neutral observers” to present the entire operation to an American audience in exactly the right light.
You can bet your ass they won’t just advertise the orange ape as the greatest humanitarian genius in human history. They’ll advertise Putin right alongside him.
John Foreman, the former British defense attaché in Moscow and Kyiv, is calling this exactly what it is: a deliberate Kremlin operation. “They know exactly what they’re doing.” According to him, allowing Melania to take credit for the ceasefire gives Russia a way to present the Trumps to the MAGA audience as peacemakers immediately before the midterms.
In other words, Moscow first creates a humanitarian catastrophe, then allows the family of the U.S. president to stage a spectacular “rescue” of that catastrophe in order to save themselves from political disaster.
Fuck, I genuinely don’t have enough words to express how unbelievably vile and disgusting this is. I’m choking on the hatred of it.
They have turned one of the largest man-made humanitarian catastrophes of the 21st century into a fucking medal pinned to an orange ass.
OMG 😱
We estimate that service restoration for #AO3 will take around 2 weeks but it could be up to 4 weeks. We are hopeful that we will be able to bring the site back up in a degraded state sooner. Refer to our status page for updates: otwstatus.org/

These are just four of the many ‘Christmas Wishes’ that have been found at Dunelm stores - customers can pick up these tags, purchase the items, and then return them to the store so they reach the local child who made the wish for Christmas. Please consider doing this if you have a branch near you.
These wishes are honestly heartbreaking when you consider that we live in the sixth wealthiest country in the world.

Russia has finished using the civilians in Oleshky as human shields. They will now be relocated further into the occupied territories with this Administration’s blessing. Children will be vanished into Russia as gifts for oligarchs. Women who survive the rapes in the filtration camps will be sent to Siberia to work in military industries. Men will be shot if they have the slightest connection to the Ukrainian military, or if purely civilians, put into Russian prison camps to be tortured around the clock until they are eventually traded for well-fed, well-cared-for Russian POWs captured while committing war crimes in Ukraine.
Are you proud of your “humanitarian” work, @MELANIATRUMP @FLOTUS ? Will you sleep well in a soft bed knowing you looked serious and useful while the cameras were rolling?
If you do not personally learn the name and follow the path of every civilian removed from Oleshky by the Russian war criminals with whom your husband conspires — you will be just as guilty as he is.

"Within days, Russian soldiers poisoned their dog, an Alabai, along with all the other large dogs in Oleshky. They killed Liudmila’s nextdoor neighbor and raped his wife. A local butcher disappeared; no one knew whether he was also killed. Some neighbors were detained and beaten. Armed, masked soldiers searched Liudmila’s home three times, confiscating the couple’s Ukrainian passports and leaving them with no documents. And yet, Liudmila and Andriy stayed. They got a new puppy, also an Alabai. Russian troops started to move into civilian houses, parking tanks in what once were gardens."

I was sat in front of Reform today.
One of their team was asked by the Chief Whip if they’d give up their seat for Nigel, which they agreed to.
But Nigel didn’t bother turning up….
Excl: Nigel Farage did not attend the Budget speech in the Commons because his seat reservation was removed from the green benches, Reform sources have claimed
The Reform UK leader's team say his prayer card was moved after being placed this morning so he watched the speech with his policy & comms aides instead

Hey @Grok, concise, no spin.
Is Russia actively trying to manipulate American voters ahead of the 2026 midterms with fake AI-generated content targeting Democratic candidates?

"Why don't survivors come forward sooner--"
You mean like Katie Johnson did? And look who is president.
You mean like Jane Doe at Cornell? They tried to doxx her and sent swat to her house -- and who knows if that was even the "right" person.
You mean like Anita Hill did? And look who is on the Supreme Court.
You mean like Amy Acton did? And look who is mocking her.
You mean like all the children in the Epstein files? And look who is being protected.
Disrespectfully, fuck off forever.

Hey @grok, is this true??
Some data centers now run on lab-grown human brain neurons derived from stem cells, wired directly to silicon chips via electrode arrays, and kept alive on life support. Fed sugar every few days. They play Doom. We don’t know if they’re conscious.
