You'd think that UN concluding that member of its own permanent security council committing crimes against humanity would be bigger news.

5:50 is killing me youtu.be/WIhlC3L99x8?...

Oh dear...

If Trump’s banning travel from countries “hostile to the US” no fucker’s going to be able to go there.

What an extraordinary, beautiful thing. Sometimes the only sensible response to scientific discovery is wonderment and awe.

the enemy of my enemy is also my enemy. can't have too may enemies.

Buzz Aldrin had the right idea.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The fall.of Infantino cannot come soon enough.

TACO.

Who’d have thought?

But apart from this minor quibble Goodwin is a respected academic doing thorough research.

Do find it hard to engage with men's tennis when the top of the sport is dominated by drug cheats, domestic abusers and ethno-nationalist anti-vaxx cranks. Alcaraz is really the only draw now. Maybe Medvedev.

I actually found this scene very moving. #DoctorWho

The Frasier Equinox.

South Florida meteorologist @johnmoralestv.bsky.social told his viewers live on air that he can no longer accurately predict hurricane season, due to federal government cuts.

Suspect it’s mostly due to embarrassment at just how cringe people like Femi, Jolyon and Steve Bray are.

Winston Churchill would fail this definition of “white British”

Well, yeah, you’re Cary Grant.

I see Matt Goodwin is doing stats again

By this definition even the King of Britain isn't counted as British Clown show stuff from Matt Goodwin

Yes I do fly into a murderous rage each time I see 'Jenkins'

Prediction: Due to these silly, unworkable commitments we will have a new Chancellor before the end of this parliament

Reporter: “What do you think the future of DOGE will be and who is exactly in charge?” Former DOGE staffer: “I have no idea…To be honest, even when I was there, it was unclear who was in charge.” #WITAOD

Following an already difficult week with the loss of a third of his strategic bombers, Lieutenant General Sergei Kobylaš, commander of the Russian Air Force, accidentally fell out of a window. Apparently, he couldn't fly as well as he thought.

Those Jenrick videos. youtu.be/kA0gmw1uz6Y?...

No. You do not, under any circumstances, "gotta hand it to him"

I mean, if you had a serious, important job and you made a mistake like this, you'd probably get fired...

Who'd have thought?

we're gone from "90 deals in 90 days" to sending letters to other countries pleading with them to negotiate

Q: Does the White House have a reaction to the election in South Korea? LEAVITT: Yes, we do. Let me find it for you. Thank you. Um. We do not.

Daisy Ridley and Alden Ehrenreich are doing a romcom together. Firstly that’s the most charming pair imaginable, and secondly I hope Star Wars fandom is prepared for the tedious online discourse caused by his character being called Ben. Also Sir Sam Neill is in it. 🙌

Can you believe it

Excellent stuff, this.

I decided to become a journalist aged fifteen after reading ‘1984’ and being appalled at the thought that governments could rewrite history. Orwell knew the USSR did it. Now China pretends the Tiananmen massacre didn’t happen. It did. I was there, and saw it for myself.

Presumably it’s to remind him who he is.
