Also, the final was broadcast, but there are no photos (that I could find) of Littlefeather/Cruz getting her crown – and whether she wanted a part in the show and didn’t get it, nobody seems to know. Although, of course, she did eventually gain international prominence

The only realistic way to halt the fighting in Sudan is to persuade the warring parties’ regional sponsors to stop backing them. That is hardly simple

Michael Prescott and Sir Robbie Gibb both bailed out of journalism years ago, and enjoy lucrative careers in corporate PR. And now they are the arbiters of BBC editorial standards. Go figure www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

BBC in crisis: why did Tim Davie and Deborah Turness resign?

Du kan brevstemme flere gange, men når brevstemmerne lander på valgstedet, kan du ikke længere stemme - dvs. ikke på valgdagen. Kuverterne sprættes op på valgstedet og man kan ikke finde den specifikke stemme længere. Kh Rutineret Valgtilforordnet 😎 Fra Indenrigsministeriet:

“EU står for videnskab, gør du også det?” Åbenbart står EU ikke for gode oversættelser. Er vi enige om at “stand for xx” har ikke den betydning på dansk som det har på engelsk ordnet.dk/ddo/ordbog?s...

Davie said his departure was “entirely my decision” and it comes as the BBC prepares to apologise for the way it edited a Trump speech. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

We’ve got less than 2% of philanthropy going to the environment and less than 1% of government funding going to the environment.

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

Yeah so several major Ukrainian cities are in a complete blackout right now. 0 generation from thermal plants and 0 idea when the power will be back. Just please don’t forget us

Mens valgkampen kredser om emner, kommunerne ikke kan bestemme over, forbliver de reelle lokale beslutninger – som bibliotekernes langsomme forsvinden – næsten usynlige i debatten, skriver Matthias Dressler-Bredsdorff. www.information.dk/kultur/2025/...

There’s no daylight between what Candace says here about “the Jews” & what Nazi propagandists & Father Coughlin said about the Jews in the 1930s. Her show is one of the top 5 “conservative” podcasts in the US. She has 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.3 million followers on X.

The laws of war are not mere niceties. They are lessons from centuries of blood agreed upon to keep the world more stable. Violating them isn’t hero cop who cuts through red tape to get things done, it’s psycho cop who crosses lines in ways even the rule benders find appalling and must be stopped.

Why is Facebook so bad at recognizing political content? Is it because some political actors mislabel their content? I have blocked political content and block all suggestions from accounts I don't follow if it is political. My account is overflowing with suggested content from DF. (yuck)

Dear GOD if you want to save money in the asylum system 1. LET ASYLUM SEEKERS WORK 2. FAST TRACK STATUS FOR EVERYONE FROM CLEARLY UNDAFE COUNTRIES like Sudan, Syria, etc 3. Run an asylum accommodation system that is NOT FOR PROFIT #r4today

we genuinely have to take LLMs away from people like openai because this is too transformative a technology to let them render it radioactive like this

48% yes, 19% no, 32% don't know for proportional representation. That's with very little public campaign for PR so far. Tracks similar results we found a couple of years ago polling various reforms in Wyoming. It's not some wonky thing only nerds get. The concept is intuitive and naturally popular.

As people go hungry. What a perverse society.

I think it's illegal under US and international law, and the people of this country could put a stop to it if they wanted to. That's why it's an "illiberal" democracy: Because enough people actually support this. And voting can stop it, which is why we're not a fascist state.

Så vi havde 13-skalaen fra 1963-2006 og nu vil politikerne igen rode med karakterne? Hvorfor egentlig? lex.dk/karakterer_o...

The tide on the turn is now looking more like a tsunami Not unaware that Tunbridge Wells is not prime Reform territory, but the key message now seems to be that Reform are being seen more clearly by parts of the electorate as a bunch of self serving shysters

Sloganet hed er der en voksen til stede. Ikke en pædagog. Dumme måltal giver dumme løsninger.

Incredibly classy move from a WIRED reporter who’s just been fired (for what seems like protected union activity) – completely commendable way to look out for your colleagues and their work. Feels like the kind of person any newsroom would be lucky to have, tbh.

As my general two cents: don't cancel your WIRED subscriptions. Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.

Interessant, at mediekommentatoren ikke finder anledning til at reflektere over mediernes egen rolle i denne situation. "For at gøre det har [Mamdani], en erklæret socialist, vendt ryggen til nyhedsmedierne og i stedet satset på de ærkekapitalistiske sociale medier.

Den her del også, ikk? "Vi har lyttet til bekymringen og nedsat perioden for, hvor længe vi opbevarer data fra tre år til to måneder, siger kundedirektøren." Hvad var det lige de skulle bruge den data til, hvis det her kan lade sig gøre og hvorfor ikke nedsætte den yderligere?

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
