Dear MailOnline I don't believe I've talked about anything on air fryers in well over a year (possibly two) let alone just give an 'urgent' warning. It's news to me! Is the warning that both airfryers and me are high search engine terms so you're using them to attract clicks?

On the off chance, if you flew into Heathrow T5 from JFK early yesterday morning and picked up the wrong black Eastpak suitcase from carousel 10, my husband would really like it back. Yours is still at Heathrow! Please RT! We’d really like our stuff!

Scientists love to debate and argue, but if there are 3 things every scientist absolutely agrees on, it's that: 1. Climate change is real 2. Vaccines work 3. Those are NOT dire wolves 😤 🧪

Public service announcement. They are not Dire Wolves. They have 20 single letter changes in their entire genomes. I’ve done shits with more mutations. Every time journalists write up a Colossus press release, They are making people stupider. Client journalism by a ridiculous company.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Seems that all Farage’s trips to US had an actual purpose. Clacton to all intents and purposes is - in the words of one local "about to become the 51st state" of America. Incredible story bylinetimes.com/2025/04/01/f...

Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process. That means the United States is simply unsafe

Musk did not buy X to protect free speech. He bought it to promote the far-right. It is now being used to silence dissenters against authoritarian government. www.politico.eu/article/musk...

So Meta have stolen all eighteen of my novels (and all my friends' books too) to train their stupid AI, with no permission, copyright or compensation. I assume every other AI is exactly the same. It's fucking theft, plain and simple. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...
