I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

In which the Guardian continues to push the line that we don't need to build any houses, there isn't a supply problem. It's all those speculators and landlords. Just extraordinary.

Surprisingly mealy-mouthed responses from commentators with pretty obvious axes to grind. With friends like these… well, good luck to any centre-left party.

I don't know what ones they're using in America, but these are some of the plastic bullets the British used on their own citizens in Northern Ireland.

Why are we always trying to win them over, its not like they're especially on a charm offensive with the rest of us

tfw when you're bumped from business class to economy.

German Chancellor Merz sets the record straight after Trump tries to draw moral equivalence between Russia and Ukrainian actions: "Ukraine is only targeting military targets. Not civilians, not private [property], not energy infrastructure. This is the difference."

Reuters: Amazon prepares to test humanoid robots for deliveries

Happy Pride to these two

The Telegraph is now having to publish so many corrections to articles where it attempts to find *any angle whatsoever* to attack net-zero polices that it makes sense to start tracking them here. These are the ones published since Labour won the election. "We are happy to correct the record."

Oh my god this is like a Brass Eye interview. If I'd been the reporter I would have said "But what if, when the man pays for the sex, they give him the key for the cellar? What then? Do we also make keys illegal?"

I mean "let's not talk about my Nazi phase and stick to rockets" is a time honored American tradition by now

“Hitler has barely occupied 30% of Czechoslovakia”

It's always rough when you sober up from a year-long bender.

Delighted to be @alexselbyb.bsky.social’s second customer for his 3D printout of John Snow’s incredibly famous dataviz. It’s rather nice, isn’t it?

congratulations to the club who are supported by the country who are quickening the climate apocalypse

For JD Vance, "immigrant" and "servant" are synonyms.

An interview with @juliansimpson.bsky.social about the Lovecraft investigations Crowley series - just in case you need more reasons to pledge before midday tomorrow: scifibulletin.com/books/audiob...

Just backed this as my first ever Kickstarter because I've fallen deep into The Lovecraft Investigations since finding it last year. I need more of it in my life and I would go as far too say you do too. If you like Lovecraft, or fantastically produced radio drama, you absolutely should back it.

If you haven't heard The Lovecraft Investigations yet then: A) Oh boy, strap in for a beautiful ride through brilliantly-woven esoterica, and B) As the wonderful host would say, 'I recommend beginning at the beginning' - ep 1 of 'Charles Dexter Ward', on BBC Sounds. In every sense, it's magical.

It’s fine, he’s just got all your personal data. 💊💉

Has he considered taking a job in Greggs

Fewer.

When you see the inevitable Marvel paean to beloved credit Peter David, remember that they continue to make money off of his work, but left his family scrambling for GoFundMe donations for half a decade.

Starmer should invite Farage to tour a NHS ward in central London to see how much he connects with working people.

I hereby challenge Nigel Farage to read and deeply understand a 400 page submission on future skills policy for 16-18 years olds in the light of the disappointing take up of T-levels. Or anything else which government is actually about.

"We earn £17 billion - but after building a school made of solid gold for our kids, we only have enough left to produce a dozen fake Telegraph stories"

We make jokes about this sometimes because it’s laughable. But when journalists try to make sense of the nonsensical, rational out of the irrational, and coherence out of the incoherence, they affirmatively do the public interest great harm.

It's typical that the New York Times would write this ... "The death of outrage in the Trump era, or at least the dearth of outrage, exemplifies how far the president has moved the lines of accepted behavior in Washington." ... when NYT spent years normalizing Trump's misconduct.

Very sorry to hear of the death of Alan Yentob - a great champion of the arts, and of public service broadcasting. He will be much missed.

Twenty years ago today I got offered a job with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. It gave me many fantastic memories and am now a happy season ticket holder. Slightly annoyingly, I think they are better now than they were when I was in it!

A comprehensive comms success.

A very concise and sober column by @stephenkb.bsky.social about how nonsensical Starmers approach sadly is. #giftlink

The most brazenly corrupt act as president had ever done and of the course the NYTimes pulls the "raises concerns" approach.

Just seen Die Walkure at Covent Garden ... Pappano's has been the Golden Age at ROH and this tops almost everything I've seen there over 4x decades

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Sitting in a hotel bar listening to the pianist noodling away nicely. A woman walks up to him and asks him for some Coldplay. Magnificently he answers no, I don’t play that.

You'll be amazed to hear that, in light of the text now released, much of this White House press release is false or misleading
