There's 3 seconds left on the clock. You're down by one point. Who do you give the basketball to? Lebron James? Steph Curry? Nope. You put it in the hands of 8th Grader Cooper Thorson. He just hit the shot of a lifetime.

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it. Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was. Headline: “A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute”

“It doesn’t take secret police. It doesn’t take guns. It doesn’t take gulags. The reality is that if you have the ability to overwhelm the media ecosystem with lies, you make the cost of engaging in public debate so high that it becomes an existential one.” www.nytimes.com/2025/01/16/m...

When Johnson announced his "40 hospitals", he only provided enough funding for 6. So Labour were bequeathed an unfunded promise of 34 hospitals. They're not cancelling anything, if the original "plans" included no money
