July 2nd, 1982: A Los Angeles man, Larry Walters, took off from his backyard in a lawn chair attached to 42 Army surplus weather balloons. Lawnchair Larry ascended to 16,000 feet and descended by shooting out the balloons with a pellet gun. He was fined by the FAA.

When Fake Fox News Continues to Purposely Lying Without Legal Penalties 🙄 Hmmm Lawsuit.

Today is the one thousandth day of the genocide in Occupied Palestine.

'A Jewish human rights lawyer has been labelled a traitor and "Hitler's Jew" in what she describes as an online harassment campaign by pro-Israel and neo-Nazi groups because of her advocacy for Palestinian people.' But, sure, pro-Palestinians are the "social cohesion" threat 🙄 #AusPol

Talksport Hawksbee n Jacobs Like two drunk men, adjacent urinals, praising each other for only pissing small amounts of urine on each other's shoes

Having had enough of ineffective Belgium, guess who turns the game off to get a few chapters of The Instrumentalist done at 83 minutes? Wakes up feeling smug….checks scores….🤠🤠🤠

England umbongoed

Thought the Sports channel was going over the top with England today. Then realised that it was BBC News....

Happy Canada Day! youtu.be/auLBLk4ibAk?...

The BBC News chopper is out! Otherwise we would never know the England team got a coach from the hotel to the stadium. #PulitzerPrize

Very enjoyable to listen to. I guess his real passion and experience for these topics comes through and is infectious!

On current form, 2 or 3. But I’m hoping Tuchel has a few permutations up his sleeve that might cause some surprises. They’ve been a strong knock-out team in recent tournaments. Kane might be just past his best, but in matches so often reliant on talisman players, he can still be deadly

JD Vance says his faith makes him averse to “low wage foreigners”

The Federalist CEO Sean Davis responded to today's birthright citizenship ruling with a public list of alternatives: deny entry to pregnant foreigners, deny entry to all female foreigners, require sterilization of all foreign visitors, or dissolve the Union. He has 375,900 views on the post.

The safety data sheets (SDS) for multiple Rhino Linings products reportedly used during the recent renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool warn that their uncured components are “toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.”

Ceasefire

Nehls on how House GOP will make case for affordability back home: Nehls: What are you talking about? I'm gonna get me lobster tails. Some nice rib eyes. Reporter: Do you think the 60% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck can afford that? Nehls: Maybe not. Maybe they don't work as hard as me.

Are Kevin McKenna and Callum Steele not talking in the Herald? Both write identical articles a day apart linking the @scotlandnt.bsky.social failure to the @snp.org failure in winning multiple elections. I’m not sure about their state of mind at the moment!😀

Mbappe Shift, hit early, and celebrate

Olise Not quite Maeda 😎

I know swearing in the research room is frowned upon, but it’s not every day you get to handle a 163-year-old document signed by Abe Lincoln.

It's almost as if... scientists were right about C͟l͟i͟m͟a͟t͟e͟ C͟h͟a͟n͟g͟e͟...

POCAN: You are a Christian nationalist by declaration VOUGHT: This is the second time you've used that slander POCAN: You wrote an article, 'Is there anything actually wrong with Christian nationalism'

The Republican Party is just a criminal enterprise at this point.

Is that Reich?

First meeting with this terrible thing…..

How can you tell if Musk is lying? His lips move.

Fox “news” reporting

This is a quote from a TES article (paywalled) about Ofsted in the heatwave. "Kids were vomiting left, right and centre, but I didn’t have anyone available to oversee these health and safety concerns because everyone was so wrapped up in the inspection. It’s very clear that this was not right." ⬇️

CEO of Toyota just announced their solid state EV battery, with an 1100 mile range, that does not use LITHIUM! This is epic 😏

Ooft Germany. Need to practice penalties. 😉

Disallowed German goals a scandal. GKruns o to him and dives. Shocker. He was not getting anywhere near to "challenging for the ball"

#WorldCup "Houston.... We have a problem." Brazil 0 Japan 1 #FIFAWC

Be really funny if the biggest tennis cert of the decade gets knocked out in round one. #Sinner

Number 10 North, eh?

Bet they can't give a suggestion on how it should have been done right?

France 24 doing feature on Boston, the most Brexity town. Ten years on, the desolation, closed shops, agriculture and lack of subsidies (-80%) is painful. Yet some voters still blame politicians for not doing it right.

"The Sun has agreed to pay 'substantial' libel damages to actor Qasim Akhtar after falsely linking him to Islamic extremism... "It also falsely alleged he had moved to Pakistan and trained with guns." That's quite the error. pressgazette.co.uk/media_law/su...

The Supreme Court is out of control. To give the President total power over independent regulatory bodies after decades of precedence is concerning. It also begs the question, will this allow a President to interfere with electoral oversight?

Mel Brooks is older than sliced bread (first invented in 1928). I guess that makes sliced bread the best invention since Mel Brooks!

For those who don’t follow sports and haven’t really had the opportunity to get to know Canada men’s national football team head coach Jesse Marsch, he is probably one of the few Americans who addressed the insulting “51st state” rhetoric head-on since day one. ❤️🍁🇨🇦TEAM CANADA FOREVER🇨🇦🍁❤️ 1/3 🧵

LOL South Korean TV blurred out the head coach because they were so pissed off at him.

Good advice for teachers!
