President Trump brushed off concerns he could be profiting off his job after a financial disclosure report showed him earning more than a billion dollars from his crypto ventures. https://cnn.it/4eQv1BY

Real-world studies show both lottery winners and people who lost fortunes eventually return close to their baseline happiness, but downward shifts (like financial loss) leave deeper scars, while resilience strategies — community support, reframing values, and focusing on purpose — help people cope.

Pretty much all we know is that Burnham wants to award procurement contracts to British companies. Understandable, but tricky when it comes to defence.

Good point from Carr..."men do the six pack nor for women...but to impress other men". Puts A Tate in perspective. Carr and Ryan discussing vanity etc. youtu.be/Z-ph_EsH0TA?...

SOME BIG NEWS: SCOTUS has DENIED Convicted Felon Donald Trump's attempts to appeal a $5 million civil judgment entered against him after a 2023 jury found that he sexually abused and defamed my dear friend @ejeancarroll.bsky.social.

"Being adrift is different from being empty. From what I've read, you seem to be a man with a strong internal compass but very few external anchors. Those are not the same thing."

Speaking to a taxi driver in Athens yesterday who was planning to leave for Switzerland. Greece was corrupt, with the global wealthy relentlessly privatising public land, wages stagnant, costs, especially housing, out of control. And it struck me how every country now has a version of this story.

🇮🇹 Rome zoo cools animals with frozen treats as heat intensifies around Europe With summer temperature soaring around Europe, including in Italy, Rome’s Bioparco zookeepers are providing ice pops and frozen foods to animals, from giraffes to seals to capybaras, to help them cope with the heat.

@mothinali.bsky.social is asked if an Andy Burnham premiership is a catastrophe for the Green party. Mothin: "It depends which version of Andy Burnham turns up" Mothin points out Burnhams rhetoric around immigration & welfare & his failure to call out Israels genocide.

Conservative gain from Reform UK, it’s a poor night for Reform UK. This by-election was called because Reform UK Councillor Stuart Prior resigned after being exposed as a racist: www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Reform's sexist plumber didn't win in Makerfield. Thank fuck for that.

People don't want fascism. They want change. Labour has two years to show what real change looks like. This is it now. Last chance.

💥 Turns out a Russian air defense missile was responsible for the most glorious strike on the Moscow Oil Refinery. 10/10 🥇

In 1930, Conservative leader Stanley Baldwin said this about Lord Rothermere: "the effect of an enormous fortune rapidly made and the control of newspapers of your own ... goes to your head like wine ... [such people seek] to dictate, to dominate, to blackmail." Let's hear our pols say it of Musk.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945. He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.

Utter fucking bullshit. And Vance knows it.

In 2024, after the election, Mark Zuckerberg met with Stephen Miller to assure him that Meta/Facebook would cave to Miller's/Trump's wishes. Here they are hanging out at the White House UFC event. www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-...

🧵A few times, I've been asked to share the best advice I have ever received. I always give the same answer: "If you go out on a limb, don't saw it off." I got from my father, Michael Klein, back when I was a student journalist. We lost him Wednesday. everloved.com/life-of/mich...

Due to AI involvement with Israel?

The gullible idiots are, as always, those who thought Trump might do something good for the Iranian people.

White House UFC fighter Josh Hokit just said: “Michelle Obama is a man… am I right America?” How are you enjoying Trump’s USA? 💁🏻‍♂️

Gideon Levy: "There is no other way to see it but the defeat of Israel & the personal defeat of Netanyahu. This was his life project - Iran, & this life project failed.."

It has been reported that a 125-decibel sound level was recorded during Flower of Scotland, which makes it the loudest noise at a World Cup tournament ever 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 www.heraldscotland.com/news... 𝘐𝘯 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 SPAR Scotland 𝘐𝘔𝘈𝘎𝘌: 𝘈𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘦𝘸 𝘔𝘪𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘯/𝘗𝘈 𝘞𝘪𝘳𝘦/𝘗𝘈 𝘐𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘴

"Trump and his team, in record time, just lost a war to a militarily mediocre—but nonetheless, extremely dangerous—adversary," @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues.

For every visible humanist, many more share our values without knowing the word for it. Another fab session at @humanists.uk's #festivalofhumanism w/ content creators Laura Iteman (Secular Sisters), Rachael Reign (Surviving Universal UK), Thomas Westbrook (Holy Koolaid), chaired by James Hodgson.

Saw a comment slamming tihis as racist. Flower of Scotland" sung here refers to the Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 when the smaller Scottish army repelled the colonialist English invaders - which is what this David & Goliath anthem pays tribute to.

The Tartan Army takes over Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA for "Flower of Scotland." An amazing moment on Night 3 of the FIFA World Cup.

Just want to register my strong disapproval of the profane language used in my home country.

Schotland (en Adidas) winnen weer. Een video à la de intro van Trainspotting, met Scott McTominay op een oude Vespa door Napels en Lewis Capaldi als voice-over. Choose Scotland. Brilliant met een rollende Schotse R.

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning? Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Elon Musk is a white supremacist promoting violence that undermines free societies. Get off of X. Get rid of your Teslas. Cancel Musk’s government contracts. Stop him before he kills everything that matters to you.

Award-winning Somali referee, Omar Abdulkadir Artan, has been removed from the World Cup roster after being denied entry to the US despite holding a valid visa.
