@thetimes.com It's a pity you turned off comments on the David Walliams story. I would have liked to record that I shall never watch him again.

We’re just going to have to agree to disagree, then 🤷🏻‍♂️

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

A fight in a madhouse about who is Napoleon...

I didn’t think this was real

That’s it. It’s war.

Wow, this one Fox actually covered. But let’s see whether this gets any run on their network instead of just the website.

Judge blocks Trump administration’s ban on Harvard accepting international students

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte: "Russia is at an enormous pace reconstituting itself.They are producing ammunition at a level which has not been seen in recent decades.They produce four times as much ammunition as the whole of NATO is producing as we speak.Their whole economy is on a war footing"

I’m only a Juris Doctor, but I diagnose Don Jr. as being a soulless moron.

Trump is one thick, revolting piece of shit. That is all.

I wanted to come up with a witty comment but couldn't. Our world is getting very bizarre, isn't it?

Medvedev wants Nuremberg 2.0? He will get one. He deserves one. ⚠️ Caution! Sensitive information below. But I am convinced it needs to be shared - this is what Russia does to Ukrainians. Russia openly defies laws, conventions and basic humanity principles.

I’ve mentioned on here that my 16 yo daughter is dialling down schoolwork overwhelm by making linocuts. Here’s her latest design:

Consuming more than eight alcoholic drinks a week is associated with brain injuries linked to Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline, a recent study in the journal Neurology suggests.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Bondi grotesquely claims that Abrego Garcia's wife and child are better off with him gone

The administration’s lies about this case are insane.

I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.

I can’t believe he’s not wearing a tie. Outrageous display of disrespect.

Does he know this will involve shining a light inside the body like he wanted to do to prevent Covid

Putin must now agree to a full and immediate ceasefire without conditions — UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer

Six out of every seven children in the UK's most deprived areas living in poverty. Result of political choices - low wages, austerity, unchecked profiteering, benefit cuts, inequitable distribution of wealth. Future blighted. Govts listen to donors/rich, ignore the rest.

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

Imagine that. Is there any doubt in anyone’s mind they were tipped off? They are laughing at us all. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

1. White House, Monday, on a 90-day pause: “Fake news.” 2. Bessent, today: a 90-day pause was discussed on Sunday. “This was his strategy all along.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

During the shelling of Kyiv on April 6, one of the Russian ballistic missiles hit an electronics warehouse. Over 100,000 phones, tablets, and power stations were destroyed in the explosion and fire. The owner, Oleksii Harusov, shared some powerful words. Please listen to him.

The bodies of 4 soldiers arrived at Dover Air force base. Normally a president would be there to receive them. Tornadoes & violent wind flattened homes & buildings from Oklahoma to Indiana killing at least 7 Normally a president would tour the area & see how to help Trump is golfing

Trump put tariffs on uninhabited islands. But no tariffs on lRussia
