The day Thibaut is back, we get a fun day with a breakaway win again. Just saying.

Cricket's greatest-ever all-rounder, and an iconic figure in Nottinghamshire history. We are extremely saddened to hear of the passing of Sir Garfield Sobers. https://f.mtr.cool/hkzezavgyc

Merz was an artillery man in the era of the Pluton.

I note that after Tibo told GFDJ - jokingly - he wanted four or five up the road from kilometre zero, there are - four in the first part of the breakaway and another in the second. www.instagram.com/reel/Da5IXQo... À VOS ORDRES!

"the government has never in its history been larger" Ireland has 10 civil servants per 1,000 population compared to 80/60/60 in France, Netherlands, and Germany. Ireland is still completely understaffed yet Sinead thinks we have enough and I guess are just idiotic leprachauns.

From lowering electricity prices. To adapting our carbon market to global realities. Our Electrification Action Plan is also our investment and independence plan. To decarbonise, innovate and lead by example.

We have the power to electrify Europe with clean, homegrown energy. Let’s switch it on ↓ link.europa.eu/9Ngd6b

One can only note here that, famously, vampires can’t see their reflection in mirrors.

"Slapping travel bans on EU social media regulators in itself is a violation of free speech rights, U.S. judge tells Trump administration" www.politico.eu/article/us-j...

Aujourd’hui, c’est Mélisey. À LA VILLAGE PINOT!!!!

bloody communists those english i tell you comrade

This is functionally identical to Trump accepting bribes from traders in return for advance sight of his announcements about war, peace, tarrifs etc. It's among the most nakedly corrupt things he's done in offfice.

Been going on about this for a while. Trump releases most presidential statements via a media company he owns. Now he's figured out how to profit off of this: by selling advance notice of Presidential statements to market traders for personal profit.

"Europe's booming solar fleet has saved €20 billion in gas imports since Iran war, finds new analysis" As oil and gas prices remain high due to the Iran war - solar power is cushioning the impact across Europe, investment needs to continue though. www.euronews.com/2026/07/16/s...

It is a feature of this app that a large cohort is compromised of people who, when an ally is trying to manoeuvre under fire, will not just start drawing further fire on the position with a parading marching mariachi band of clowns, but will berate the ally for not themselves making things worse.

There are no haters as good as Italians. It is impossible to pull out a single quote from this story because it's all just phenomenal.

CCCCCCHHHHHHOOOONNNNNN!!!

the secret police attract the mediocre and the sadistic everywhere

I mean this is just race science stuff. He's right; it was obvious to many people at one point. Specifically, in the decades before the Civil Rights era (and during the Jim Crow period) where they thought the Chinese and Japanese could never assimilate, and many thought the same of Black people.

Responding to @beaubaumann.bsky.social’s post today, Prof. Wurman deploys the same rhetoric used against every immigrant group in America. Is this racist, he asks? Judging whether one can be part of America based on a culture’s supposed "capacity" for self-governance is the structure of bigotry.

2 thoughts: 1. Dan’s estimate of “100s or 1000s of named defendants” probably overestimates size of strike cell/kill chain for Joint Task Force Sea Murders. 2. Ample precedent for conducting war crimes trials of “100s or 1000s of named defendants.”

the Republican party is a terrorist organization with a large support base, and must be dealt with like other such groups: through a long and painful peace process that incorporates them back into the political system while hypocritically disclaiming their extreme elements + largely escaping justice

I've lived in Beijing, and the thing is - they don't have elections.

Trump's declassified election intelligence pretty clearly shows that China *could have,* but didn't, meddle in the 2020 election to help Biden win. But that Russia *did* meddle to help Trump win.

Amazing that this man can perfectly execute both of the Great New York Expressions - Italian AND Jewish

Amongst other things, I can navigate, grow food, weave, work rope - natural and synthetic - work wood, make and fix boats and know how to make nets and fires.

❗️ Reuters reports that India rejected Russia’s request for increased gasoline supplies after three state-owned oil companies said they had no spare fuel volumes available for export. Moscow had sought additional supplies amid pressure on domestic refining. #Russia

American journalists appear finally to be learning the art of effective questioning.

two observations: 1) it’s funny that they’re still calling it the charlie kirk show, no one else has any name recognition, 2) this would require a *substantial* change in attitudes towards islam in denmark

That’s insanely pretty Tour de France art 😍 #TDF2026

Generally, one would hope the head of your Treasury would be able to keep track of the basic figures.

EU finally agrees to sign and provisionally apply new treaty with microstates Andorra and San Marino - very similar to EEA treaty with Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, associates them with most EU internal market law - www.consilium.europa.eu/en/press/pre...

“Speak loudly and carry not enough stick” was not the advice.

CJEU, foreign policy sanctions/free movement law New judgment confirms that EU can impose foreign policy sanctions on EU citizens (in this case, a Russian/Finnish dual citizen), including an EU-wide entry ban (except for Finland) - infocuria.curia.europa.eu/tabs/documen...

Lord knows how Americans will cope with a world where everyone else learns to ignore them

A self-confident imperial elite does not expend so much energy screaming at everyone else about its own superiority. The vibe around so many American thought leaders has something of the mid-00s neurotic Muscovite about it.

Jonas, dear heart, it’s a hard enough watch as is, so I wouldn’t be encouraging those on whom your wages depend to not bother just because they behave well within the normal accepted boundaries of being sports fans.

The problem with this is this paper ignores that s. 195 (3) repealed and replaced “gender” in s.19 GRA 2004 with “sex” in the 2010 to read “physical strength, stamina or physique of average persons of one sex” - a measurement in biological terms. That choice by Parliament must be engaged with.

KABOOOOOM.

Lured to a doomed island, pre-ordained to be sacrificed to an atavistic cult. “A man who would come here of his own free will… A man who would come here with the powers of the King… A man who would come here as a fool.”

Or much of a drop in public support. Fascinating example of elite consensus switching despite popular opinion.

I see Irish Bluesky is having one of its periodic “Sweaty riding in Trinners is the Ulysses of our times” moments, and, lads, parched through the grass may be, ye need to go out and touch it.

NYC Bar opposes the nomination of one of its own members, Todd Blanche, to be attorney general, saying he lacks the basic professional integrity that the position demands. A stinging and very detailed assessment. www.nycbar.org/reports/oppo...

It is telling that the Trump administration refuses to release the OLC memo that serves as the legal permission slip for the boat strikes.
