Well let's see how this strategy of telling "white liberals" to "fuck right off" works out in the local elections

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".

Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.

It looks like the BBC are hoping to become the official state broadcaster in the event of a Reform victory at the next General Election.

Why did BBC Breakfast give Reform UK a special graphic? A small detail in a brief report sparks some big questions about what the national broadcaster is doing during the run up to local and national elections.

WHY DID BBC BREAKFAST GIVE REFORM UK A SPECIAL GRAPHIC?

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

We’re in the truly weird position where McSweeney had to go for giving the PM the advice to appoint Mandelson and Robbins had to go for not stopping him.

Most cartoons like this bring a smile, but this has had me chuckling for a while. Absolutely superb from @jonesycartoons3.bsky.social

I agree, but for that to happen he would have had to have been so passionate about achieving the kind of change that required the kind of funding that only higher taxation could supply that he would have been prepared to raise income tax.

He’s just not that guy.

Daily Mail’s Brexit poll spectacularly backfires Not what the Mail expected...

👀🇪🇺 "The Mail may have been expecting its own readers to back Brexit, however early indications of the poll put 73% of respondents as saying Britain should rejoin the EU because it’s better for the economy.

"As time went on, this number grew to 84%."

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

New Hungarian PM brutally confronts a news channel that banned him for years.

It looks like the BBC are hoping to become the official state broadcaster in the event of a Reform victory at the next General Election.

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

The media blackout of Jared Kushner’s historic, ongoing corruption scandal As Trump's son-in-law returns to Pakistan for more talks with Iran, major news outlets are largely ignoring an egregious conflict of interest.

1. As Jared Kushner heads to Pakistan to represent the United States in critical talks with Iran, the media is ignoring a historic corruption scandal.

Kushner is serving in this role while on the payroll of the Saudi government.

Let's look at the data.

Absolutely incredible.

NASA Astronaut Reid Wiseman, who commanded Artemis II, took this footage from the far side of the Moon with his iPhone.

Watch with sound on.

I don’t know whether you play chess, but the iPad is amazing for interactive chess books. You can watch every move being played, which, at my amateur level, is very helpful.

Snap! I have come to love the Kindle my wife bought me though. Great for reading in bed without disturbing anyone, and for when I’ve got several books on the go. And there’s no physical evidence of my book-buying addiction….

Who does this description of Kaiser Wilhelm II remind you of? (Written by Christopher Clark in 2015).

A new feeling for me, I actually hope this is AI. If not, 😱🤢

We’re hoping to move soon, and I’ve promised my wife I won’t be taking all the books to the new place. It’s fine though, cos I really want* to sort through them so they’re nice and ordered.

*I don’t want to sort through them, I love to have to search for things, and make amazing rediscoveries.

Uh oh
