Trump has been wanging on again about China cancelling hockey, and Canadians just want him to get the puck out of their business

10 February 2026 @ 6:51 am

It would be a bit of an odd world if countries only made a deal with one other country, and it would be an even weirder one if every country made a deal with one place but not each other, yet Trump seems to think trade deals not with the USA are a personal insult.

A Maga took aim at this American figure skater for being ‘woke’ and blew their own face off

9 February 2026 @ 3:40 pm

Such are the times we live in that Americans don’t necessarily support Americans at the Olympic Games. No, they carefully check that America’s finest sports men and women agree with their politics before they are prepared to cheer them on from the rafters. And this particularly goes for the Maga community, such as it, including […] The post A Maga took aim at this American figure skater for being ‘woke’ and blew their own face off appeared first on The Poke.

An American complained about walking half a mile to a bar and these Brits wanted a stern word or two

9 February 2026 @ 2:29 pm

Time now to return to the cultural chasm that separates the US and the UK (the rest of the world, basically, but one country at a time, right?) And it started when @StevenCheah over on Twitter persuaded their mates to walk half a mile to a bar and by the looks of it, it didn’t […] The post An American complained about walking half a mile to a bar and these Brits wanted a stern word or two appeared first on The Poke.
