Britain's Most Controversial Pool and Spa Complex

At a country's darkest hour, a hero will emerge. Then he will die immediately of the novel coronavirus after going on holiday. Then his feckless idiot children will build a "controversial spa" in his name. It's the denouement of the Captain Tom saga. Also, we look into the domestic/UK dimension of Israel's attack on Gaza, and think about how the state and press will gleefully make one another even more dangerously deranged.

Captain Tom has been ghosted on the sticks all this time and is only now being acknowledged 😭

The best part of nonprofit work is when the auditor asks you if you know of any fraud or malfeasance going on while you're on the premises and often in earshot of the director.

“The demand on Palestinians was always to die quietly” pretty much sums it all up doesn’t it?

Christopher Rufo has invented a brand new tactic for defeating the left which has shocked liberals: lying.

Wait we back on Legionnaires disease since there is a spa involved?

As a long-haul flatbed semi-truck driver here in the You Ess of Eigh, I can definitely confirm: The hardest part of driving a truck is, indeed, navigating the Nonceing-Cromesh transmission.

I wish yelling on the street made me feel better. It makes me feel like a fraud. Like I'm cosplaying as someone who gives a shit.

When there are no good options you must do what you can. That doesn’t make you a fraud, just powerless

To be a bit more grim: "states look to other states for what's acceptable." I give the EU one more televised migrant crisis before we have typhoons delivering clusterbombs to the southern border.

i feel like too many problems in the world are caused by nobody knowing when to fold on a hustle anymore. how many enterprises covered on tf would have been as bad as they were if the founders retired to lives of obscene luxury three months before they imploded

Pretty much... all of them? One thing that has been borne in upon me, as I watch the trial coverage, is just how gwäd-damn DUMB Trump&co were with their grift. The utter arrogance and contempt for law and society are actually palpable. Some kind of oozing pale grub of a con made manifest. Ick.

'[the books] may have been ghosted'. That Ouija Board really came through for the family.

As if on queue, TF posts a new ep for me to listen to at work whilst I "do admin tasks"
