Not everything is getting worse. Also: modern medicine is amazing. People who could cure children of diseases like this would have been worshipped like gods a few centuries ago.

🇺🇦🗣️ "We are not children with Putin on the playground in the park. He is a murderer who came to the park to kill children," — Zelensky responded to Trump’s comparison of Russia and Ukraine with “two children fighting.”

British surgeon Victoria Rose, who's just returned from Gaza: "They're coming through the doors like a conveyor belt... really small children with massive injuries.. bits of their bodies blown off... every day at least half [of my cases] were under the age of 11.. its barbaric"

This seems like a great day to remind Bluesky that Stephen Miller lived four doors down from me freshman year And our student council person asked him (and everyone) to sign a birthday card for our dorm’s janitor And he threw a tantrum and wrote an op-ed about not socializing with “the help.”

Cos the best way to defeat Farage is to agree with him about absolutely everything Tories proved this by running a 10 year experiment that left them polling at "functionally dead", while Reform are favourites to win the next election Top thinking, Blue Labour! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Oh the (lack of) joy of living in a 51-49% world, constantly balancing precariously between liberalism and illiberalism. One day, hopefully, there will be a decisive shift back towards liberalism. Perhaps.

Nice to see Robert Jenrick on #bbclaurak publicising his vigilante work on fare cheats. Hope he's got a mirror.

"Elon's leaving us now, we didn't get him a gift because what do you get the guy who's got everything?" "a pardon"

Trump gets bullied by Wall st, Elon ran for the hills, Stephen Miller’s wife ditched the White House, Bongino is a shell of himself, and Hegseth is anxiously wiretapping his own office. All while Putin and Xi eat our lunch. MAGA’s “Alpha Men” are nothing more than a pack of cowardly sissies.

There's no placating the Brexiters, no reasoning with them, no basic comprehension or adulthood. You can't debate papers behaving like the Sun or the Mail this morning. There's nothing to debate with. They view all trading relations with Europe as humiliation.

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

Exactly. It's been 9 long years since any leaders from the Tories or Labour have even MENTIONED the benefits of EU or Single Market membership. They've all denied the truth about Brexit damage. And they've all failed to make Brexit work! #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

I love that people are discovering the joys of 15-minute cities. One of my favorite things about living in Paris is going out to buy a fresh baguette every morning. Follow @carlosmorenofr.bsky.social for more.

This afternoon. Not often that a bona fide film masterpiece gets shown on TV these days, never mind one that is almost 60 years old. Watch on a big screen if you can - the jokes are all around the edges!

The Greens now have nearly 200 more councillors than Reform. This is not something you'd be likely to guess from all the copiously salivating media coverage of Farage & his crew of billionaire-backed far-right chancers.
