A.B.’s mother Nereyda Hernandez said this month on Instagram her daughter’s identity “doesn’t give her an advantage; it gives her courage. It takes immense bravery to show up, compete, and be visible in a world that often questions your very right to exist www.cnn.com/2025/05/31/u...

Ukraine's SBU claims it has pulled off another attack on the Kerch Strait bridge connecting Crimea to the Russian mainland. The bridge's pylons were "severely damaged" early this morning, the agency says. (hard to tell the actual scope of damage).

Fascinating.

Hello again. Day 1191 of the war in Europe. Welcome to THE daily thread, a fact-checked collection of all the important bits from Ukraine and Russia, and none of the gratuitous gore. Thanks to new followers: feel free to get chats going in replies, #TeamTim is a friendly bunch!

Another night of no sleep yet - dramatic action in Moscow. Time to start another daily thread covering everything to do with Putin's disastrous 'operation' in Ukraine. It's 5am in Russia and Ukraine, on Day 1190 of the war. Let's begin...

[email protected] hosts its annual conference in Calgary this week (first time ever!) and we've partnered with @wordfest.com for public events Thursday & Saturday. Teen Vogue's @brittneymac15.bsky.social & cartoonist/author @gabrielledrolet.bsky.social! Globe's @markmackinnon.bsky.social!

I seriously believe that this demented tin of talking luncheon meat in an oversized hat believes that he knows Putin. Just how staggeringly wrong can one man be with only one head?

Our @Channel4News story from Tel Aviv: Israel condemned by closest allies as Gaza faces starvation. With @hodgerob and Josh Ho Https://www.channel4.com/news/israel-condemned-by-closest-allies-as-gaza-faces-starvation

What an embarrassing moment for the United States.

Two living legends... long may they both run!
