Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

Had a really nice afternoon of folk music and catching up with friends. We're in a good place.

Your regular reminder that the US had a pain-stakingly negotiated and workable deal with Iran when Trump came to power, but he tore it up. He's now desperately trying to secure a deal much worse than the one he set aside.

being in bed is one of the most beautiful things in the whole wide world

People have been shocked that an AI company is offering chats with an AI Jesus for $1.99/minute but it's important to remember and respect the fact that a core part of American evangelicalism is being financially defrauded by people who claim to speak for god

You gotta fight for your right to sit quietly doing nothing

Just so you know what kind of dork I am: I was looking at the Artemis II mission stuff and said to @kaylahornbrook.bsky.social, “The cutaway in those letters in the bottom left corner definitely means something super specific…”

Former Spectator editor Fraser Nelson has shared a legal letter about this here on X [sent to somebody else] in order to contest Delo's lawyers claims about what can not be regarded as being in the public interest. x.com/FraserNelson...

The Telegraph just gave a convicted criminal a two-page spread to explain why he's pumping £4 million into Reform UK. They tucked his criminal record away in the small print. So as a former financial crime specialist I’ll do their job for them👇

My friend who runs an award-winning bookshop has probed the question: readers prefer paperback novels. So why are there so many goddamn hardback releases?

Every council should follow suit.

At this the man's face fell. He went away, sorrowful - for he had great wealth.

Sometimes doing a yoga video is like, sure, of course I can be upside down on one leg, I can do this for ages; and sometimes it is like, but am I on all fours right? I don't have the kinetic knowledge of whether my elbow is directly under my shoulder.

The quicker you finish all the Easter chocolate, the less it has a chance to stick and turn into weight gain.

Pope Leo XIV was seen spinning a basketball on his finger in Saint Peter's Square during a visit from the US exhibition basketball crew, the Harlem Globetrotters. One of the players helped the pontiff with the classic trick in front of a cheering crowd.

Politics has unexpectedly hit a special interest of mine so here is a quick rundown on the Avignon Papacy.

Can confirm. Overheard a middle schooler telling her friends, “nah forget him, he’s AI” about a boy who asked one of them out

Moving slowly, but making progress.

Fun fact! There's a whole community dedicated to jailbreaking and modding kindles. You don't need to settle for this. kindlemodding.org

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

"i could probably pilot a ship through the straight of hormuz" -next big thing 80% of men secretly believe about themselves

I would like to talk more about how ICE shot someone else yesterday and he is in critical condition! The coverage is really horrifying because DHS is giving a similar story to the one they gave about Renee Good and so much news coverage is just buying it. Please talk about Carlos Mendoza Hernandez.

Every time they get a little stability somebody - sometimes us, sometimes Israel, sometimes Iran, sometimes Russia - wades in and ruins everyone's lives for years at a time. It stinks.

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon. Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

400 dead so far, over 1000 injured, dozens and dozens missing. This is one hour into the massacre. I have no idea what the death toll will be in the end. Also, they have announced “another wave” of attacks coming
