France out here proving that actually you can tell the far right to go to hell even when it looks like they’re on track for a big victory are we going to let ourselves be shown up by the French?

The 2nd leading pollster projects a similar result—if anything a higher range for the Left coalition. This wld be a much stronger result than expected for the Macron bloc. If confirmed, key takeaway: Left & Macronist voters transferred onto each other much more than expected. Clear anti-RN front.

Whoa. Holy Shit!

JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise: —Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!) —Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well. —No bloc close to majority. Follow this 🧵 for results and more:

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

Some folks practically beg to be first against the wall

Italian prosecutors in Milan investigated how Dior is producing their handbags. They found that the workers were sleeping in the facility so bags could be produced around the clock. Consumers pay $2,780 per bag. The production of the bags costs Dior $57. Ht: @maxroser.bsky.social

Now we know how much it costs to make a $2,800 Dior bagwww.businessinsider.com In recent months, Italian authorities raided Dior subcontractor workshops where people were working around the clock, they said.

Hamilton wins the British GP and Brits take 2 of the top 3 spots. The Tories could never...

The top three spots on the grid at the British GP will be occupied by Brits and now the English team advances to the Euro semis in a PK shootout. Incredible how fast Labour are already delivering

It sucks to see Türkiye sent home. They were BY FAR the most fun team in this whole tournament. Honestly, they were the only fun team to watch in this whole damn thing

So another penalty shootout. I'm sure given England's history in such situations that the potential for crippling, intergenerational national trauma is minimal

Fuck. This.

Of course. Thomas put it there for exactly this purpose

España! Holy shit! Amazing

Also, how in the hell is Thomas Müller only 34? I swear, it feels like he's been playing for the German national team since the 90s

Holy shit! Germany, oh my

Oh man, this is just brutal. The first map shows gains in Labour's vote share. The second shows vote share gains for the Tories. Yeesh.

Damn, even Scottish dogs have turned on the SNP. Anyway, the Guardian's usual roundup of "dogs at polling stations" pics is worth your time. www.theguardian.com/politics/gal...

This shit right here. I’ve always been baffled by Americans who indulge in this stuff. It’s just so weird to me

if there is one traditional aspect of being American I live by, it’s absolutely refusing to acknowledge or play along with British royalty and nobility bullshit

Just so we’re clear here, when this guy and all the others say this stuff, they’re talking about YOU. They’re talking about me. They’re talking about our friends, our families and our communities We would be wise to fully absorb that fact and act accordingly

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech. "Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!" Video and story here: newrepublic.com/article/1834...

MAGA Gov Candidate’s Ugly, Hateful Rant: “Some Folks Need Killing!”newrepublic.com Mark Robinson, the GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, has a long history of incendiary comments. But he may have topped himself this time.

Some initial thoughts on the UK elections. 1. It confirms once again that when a center-right party veers to the hard right to weaken the far right, it ends up doing the opposite. After purging moderates and going full-on wingnuts and fever swamp, the Tories got decimated by Reform, not Labour. 🧵

People are right often when they say ‘politically Britain is becoming just as bad as America’ but Sunak’s speech shows an important way in which is hasn’t. A number of ways actually. To be able to move frictionlessly between governments may be boring, but it’s so, so important.

"Independence from Britain" is the world's most celebrated holiday.

"you're not American why do you care about the 4th of July" mate I'm Indian, any day someone got the Brits to fuck off back to their country is a national holiday for me

We're now getting clowned by...Brazil. Happy Fourth!

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil's federal police indict ex-President Bolsonaro for money laundering and criminal association, source confirms.

I mean, the headline here will be the massive Labour landslide and the huge Tory collapse, but look at the SNP numbers. Holy shit, that's a nearly 80% drop. That's a bloodbath
