This is the best team crossover video I've ever seen.

Basically 😏

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did not release any scientific studies to support this change in policy. Of course.

Not a coincidence.

pretty sure early Quakers would recognise hatred and persecution

There should be a little badge you can wear to let people know that your hair is 'doing a thing' today. I'm not trying to look like this. This isn't who I am. I invite you to accept it as I have and join me in hoping for better tomorrows.

The BBC is fully in the pocket of Round Egg. Don't be fooled. You just can't tell cos it's all done through shell companies.

And now Anne-Marie Minhall is sharing in her conversations on @classicfm.com the #Welsh words Aled Jones has taught her This is what it means when @iolowilliams.bsky.social says “use the Welsh you have” Diolch, pawb, for providing welcome #hiraeth on this rainy day in Cambridgeshire

For the final dispatch in my series on global migration, I went to the place where our current pitiless age began: Syria. I met extraordinary people who helped me understand the shattering nature of exile, and the complex joy of return. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/o...

Incredible work from everyone involved here

Have loved @polgreen.bsky.social’s series on migration, offering a deeper and more human vision than the one inflicted on us daily by politics and pollsters. This is the final story in it, reported, fittingly, from Syria www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/o...

Devoting a 352-page book to unmasking a president who is no longer in office instead of the one currently sowing global chaos indicates serious mental impairment, experts say.

lol

Jordan Peterson is not a clever man, as I think we have all established by now

Lots of Bluesky vs Twitter chat today, so let me just point out that Bluesky is not currently awash with accounts trying to monetise and weaponise footage of a horrific incident in Liverpool, nor indeed is it full of deliberate disinformation about that incident. So that's something.

How can you tell if the administration is lying? Karoline Leavitt is speaking on its behalf.

George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today. The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

I want to share something I've worked on effectively for most of my life, in different ways. This vision of a calmer future, and analysis of how we get there, came after working in different sectors, on different continents – and seeing how obvious solutions are not working. www.calmerfuture.org

Impressive visualization on the ways that the wealthy have successfully manipulated US politics to avoid paying taxes

ACTIONS MEET CONSEQUENCES… North Carolina voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024—now he’s denying the state’s FEMA request. Again. Reminder: Senator Ted Budd (R-NC) and Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) voted against FEMA funding on September 25, 2024.

Watch what they do, not what they say.

I don't want to “improve my rizz,” I want to be a scribe in an Irish monastery in 950 AD. I’m hunched over a manuscript, painstakingly retracing the letters. Pangur Bán, the abbot’s cat, brushes against my leg. I doodle her image in the margin. I’ve never heard of the internet. I’m happy.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

this feels like new levels of genuine, unprecedented evil have been unlocked being able to discard actual human beings so carelessly and irresponsibly

Is half a gorilla really within the asteroid size margin of error?

You do you, Jupiter. However, if you could *try* to aim in the direction of the White House, we’d all be very grateful.

I wasn’t just a cancer patient: I was a cartoonist. My surgeon wasn’t just a doctor: he had a baby on the way. My chemo nurse wasn’t only good at cannulating me: she has a love of skydiving. We are all more than our assigned roles. #cansky

Do I need to spell out who this bill is really for?

first they came for the white South Africans, and I didn't speak out— because no one is coming for the white South Africans, you deranged paranoid lunatics. what the fuck is wrong with you

amazing

Morning all! I've just published a new post on the blog for you: 4 Scone Recipes. This is the recipe I used throughout my market stall and restaurant days, so it's definitely tried-and-tested! britishfoodhistory.com/2025/05/21/f...

In Fahrenheit 451, the abolition of reading began with tech companies simplifying books into summaries that you could read in five minutes. Because people no longer engaged with the texts, they forgot how to think. Then came the book-burnings.

I think this is right, but there is also a need for Democrats to lock in their voters and get them to show up reliably to create the highest possible hurdle to a Trump-like figure in the future.

Senator Ron Johnson ( WI) responded when asked why he voted to take healthcare and food away from children; “ I never felt it was societies responsibility to take care of other people’s children “ 😑

A country road, a tree: happened upon the setting for Godot #moorland #biking

completely insane when we all know MI8 created the Shipping Forecast for this

Romania rejected the hard-right candidate? Man, the US just looks worse and worse after every election.

(LOOKING DOWN MY TO-DO LIST) Ah, the thing is, I don't want to do any of these things.

And yet people still blindly believe Al.

My teen: “why doesn’t the Vatican take part” and now I can’t stop picturing this #eurovision

What I've realised watching Eurovision this year is that – across Europe – this might actually be the most influential album of the last 30 years.
