The tongue of Rhone #Glacier ten days after my last visit. Can you guess how much ice melted away? 1️⃣ meter in terms of thickness! 1️⃣0️⃣ days... And that's just the beginning of the summer season. We know the times are bad for the ice, but still it is hard to accept these numbers!

Voters across racially and economically diverse neighborhoods in New York City embraced Zohran Mamdani, shocking the Democratic establishment.

Singer and actress Ariana Grande was born #OnThisDay in 1993. To attend the 2024 Academy Museum Gala, she wore a recreation of Pierre Balmain's S/S 1963 white silk organza 'Bougival' gown, adorned with a black polka-dot motif and black mousseline ribbons. #fashionhistory

Tory peer Liam Booth-Smith takes job at AI firm he encountered at No 10. Registration of interest does not prevent conflict of interests. What would legislators serve? People or their bank balance? Can't build the country on corrupt political foundations.

You are the sea, not in it but be sea, endlessly thee.

“The rationale for war was rotten. Despite advocates’ stated aims, the war was ultimately motivated by a desire for regime change. Neoconservatives in the Bush administration thought they could transform Iraq and the wider region into a pro-U.S. democratic stronghold.”

Ahead of the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, the weather forecast for Tuesday threatened to bring dangerously high temperatures that some campaigns fear could keep older voters at home.

Students in England graduate with average £53,000 debt. Total debt £266bn, up to 7.3% interest. Most European nations don't charge university tuition fees, England does. What was public debt, is now personal debt. People penalised for education, can't start family, business. Abolish uni fees.

"I 𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙩 see an analysis where Britain getting involved would be in our national interest." The PM called a COBRA meeting as Trump teased joining Israel's war on Iran. @maitlis.bsky.social & @lewisgoodall.com ask: If Trump asked for UK support - could Starmer say no to him?
