by no means the first person to say this but it's really not a coincidence that the MPs who lean into these types of antisemitic tropes are also often "gender critical" and transphobic - there is so much crossover in how both transphobic and antisemitic conspiracies are spread

Antisemitism given a full page in the Daily Mail. No surprise given the paper’s fascist-loving history.

this “conference” really speaks to the Americanisation of our politics. Extremist influencers and media now almost interchangeable from their puppets in government, lining up to say horrendous things which gradually move the dial. Then they’ll victimise themselves when called out

I am extremely happy that Kristen Taekman is getting another moment in the Housewives universe
I will say that Leah and Tinsley would have fit so well into this group… I kinda wish there was some continuity and also people who are actually “reality stars” to show the newbies the ropes!

I think this looks pretty good and we should give it a chance! Seems more representative of New York’s elite today and has quite a few of the narratives that make a great season of Housewives! I see the potential

For me there is no Scary Island without the Bethenny Frankel but I nevertheless can’t wait for this and it could be a stepping-stone to Legacy, I think!

Peacock just announced Ultimate Girls Trip 5: Return to Scary Island with Ramona, Dorinda, Luann, Sonja, Kelly, and Kristen Taekman. It's not Legacy, but it's what we got.

"If you can walk around Liverpool and not be moved by what you see, then there is something wrong with you" superbly captures the #Eurovision2023 vibe in Liverpool 💙💛

I went to Eurovision 2023 in Liverpool and tried to capture the surreal and very moving experience of watching the UK actually doing something right

one thing Mae Muller's song got perfectly was the experience of being broken up with by a British fuckboi so he can "work on his mental health"

woahhhh I can't believe the jury rigged global streaming numbers!

Loreen:
First #Eurovision song to ever enter the global Top 5 on Spotify
Highest number of streams for a #Eurovision song in a day, breaking Måneskin’s global record
First ever #Eurovision song to top the UK Spotify chart

And also the votes should be revealed via video link by Bravo reality stars

I'm still cackling at Loreen saying she was in a "meditative state" and refusing to answer questions lol

This sudden Hate towards Loreen is so unnecessary just because Finland didn't win. This was a beautiful iconic and deserved win and all of you toxic fans need to stop hating and instead just be proud of whoever you were supporting
