A new bat coronavirus that has the capacity to spread to humans, similar to the one that caused the COVID-19 pandemic, has been discovered by a Chinese researcher. Good thing we are completely prepared this time. www.newsweek.com/new-coronavi...

Todays hero

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

watched some reacher on the treadmill today and i do love that we have a whole franchise whose central premise is “what if a man were really big”

When we stand with Ukraine ... 🇺🇦We stand with democracy! 🇺🇦We stand with freedom! 🇺🇦We stand with justice! 🇺🇦We stand witth truth! 🇺🇦We stand with accountability! 🇺🇦We stand with human rights! 🇺🇦We stand with Europe! See you outside the Russian embassy at 1pm today🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦 @ukrainesol.bsky.social

It's been an exceptional week for renewable generation in Ireland and wind in particular which has been supplying >50% of the island's electricity needs since Saturday evening 🤯 Wind exceeded 100% of demand early this morning for the second day in a row - an unprecedented back-to-back occurrence 👏

Gen-X knows 🤣

me: good morning Killbot killbot: good morning sir, shall i kill you this morning sir or prepare a smoothie me: smoothie please killbot: excellent choice sir i shall try again tomorrow

Libs: 71 MPs. Davey's narrative is the UK as a leader, and a call for national and continental unity in the face of fascism. Reform: 5 MPs. Farage's narrative is the UK as an irrelevance, and pushes Russian misinformation in support of fascism. And our media platforms traitorous Lord Yeehaw-Haw.

“The postwar era is over. The global architecture built in 1945 is being burned to ground by Trump. Europeans need to plan for, & invest in, a future where they have to defend themselves without the US.That future does not loom in the distance. It is already here” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The search for Nigel Farage in Clacton enters its 32nd week.

Did you hear about the Italian chef? He pasta away. Get it? I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

We may not see any extra services until 2030, but I would love for more capacity at St Pancras International for more trains to direct to more destinations across Europe! Fully support the idea. We need to see the Channel Tunnel used to capacity. www.thetimes.com/uk/transport...

Current mood

Good morning. After a rough few days, this week's Blind Date was perfectly timed to fill you with joy. Couldn't wipe the smile off my face. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

So they removed the black chairman of the Joint Chiefs in the middle of his 4-year tour, without cause, and they're seeking to replace him with a white **retired** Air Force three-star general who lacks the requisite experience as a service chief or combatant commander? Huh, how about that

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

Side note. There are eight members of the joint chiefs. the chair is black. the CNO (navy) is a woman. the other six are white guys. chair and the cno got fired tonight.

Seems legit.... We don't want to be a nation of underachieving Americans.

It’s a cult.

who’s gonna do it, who will be the hero we needed

One month in. God help America, God help us all.

Worst. Episode. EVER.

pmsl lol

This is really something

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

So, Bill. Why did you vote for RKJr? You’re a physician, there is no excuse. You know how dangerous measles is despite all the MAGAts wittering on how it’s good to get parties it & planning measles. Children will die. This is on you.

General Brown is a brilliant, amazing leader. I worked at the Air Staff for three years and it was known that he read everything the staff wrote for him. He believes if an analyst took the time to write it, it’s his responsibility to read it. Very few generals do this.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Remember that these brave men are on the front line not only for their own territory, but to defend Europe against the aggressor. SUPPORT UKRAINE. 🇺🇦\/🇪🇺

Trump replacing the joint chiefs of staff is not great. It’s another rung on the dictator ladder. He’s already ignoring the courts, and he’s already conquered congress; anyone who speaks against him, Elon Musk has offered $100m to a candidate who stands against them. How is this normal?

I hope that Keir Starmer can play or talk about golf. It would be a great way to get to know Trump. Regardless of the outcome of the meeting at the White House. Personally can’t stand Trump. But a compromise so Europe can be involved in talks, would calm things down.

Sigh.I never thought I’d say it. But. Good for Rupert Murdoch for being the only media billionaire to not roll over with Ukraine. Don’t know if it will last, but his channels are reporting Trump’s appeasement.

GM patenting an EV battery pack that can charge twice as fast by plugging it into two chargers at once is the most American innovation I’ve ever heard 🦅

"What are your dogs' names?" Me: "Calvin and Klein." "Isn't that a brand of underwear?" Me: "Exactly, they're boxers."

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall. That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

Is it ok to kiss a nun as long as you don't get into the habit? 🐢💨

All your photos from our timeline cleanse yesterday were lovely, thank you! 🤩 The sandstorm photo that @jailapeche.bsky.social added to the comments reminded me of this windy beach video I took a few years ago This is in real time, no slo-mo applied and it was incredibly hypnotic

I tried to watch some "West Wing" last night thinking it would be a nice escape from the current reality, but it took 5 minutes for it to feel more like it was taunting and mocking me from the past.

Like watergate on angel dust
