May the Fourth be with YOU, from the Obama Presidential Center. Opening June 19.

We’ve had at least an entire first XI out injured all season and have not once been described as ‘weakened’ (or anything similar)

Celebratory gin time!!! COYS!

Strong gin time. COYS!

Pombo!

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Zelensky: Met with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer. We in Ukraine appreciate all the steps taken by the United Kingdom to support our people and weaken the aggressor, in particular in the fight against the Russian shadow fleet.

Revising for my rapidly approaching finals. Thanks for reawakening that trauma for me. 😱😆

In her own words. The legend.

While talking big about reforming SEN education & curriculum reform, the government will actually cause children's education to suffer from lack of funding & fewer staff - because they're about to be offered another below inflation (unfunded) pay rise that won't keep up with their rent/ mortgage.

Hooray, our World Cup 2026 Wall Chart is FINISHED 🥳 It's our biggest wall chart ever, an A1-sized shambles sullied by SIXTY wonky doodles. Dunno if competitions fly on Bluesky, but if you share this we'll send a couple of freebies out to some (un)lucky RTers x 🛒 noscoredraws.com/products/wor...

Nuclear dust … you know … from the nuclear faeries

Well, my family were quite busy that year, conquering England.

I rejoiced at the smoking ban in the UK. It smells disgusting, it is horrendous for asthma sufferers like me and it actually makes me feel sick. It was wonderful to go to pubs, clubs, restaurants etc. and be able to breathe! The downside was the smokers congregating around the doorways. 🤢

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Chornobyl disaster — the nuclear tragedy multiplied by Soviet oppression. Moscow ordered a mass May Day parade sending nearly 120k ppl to march under the slogans of "Peace, Labour, May" while radiation levels already exceeded the norm by up to 500x /1 📸 Oboz

Going to be an outstanding final between Man City (130) and Chelsea (74). Never could we lovers of the game have ever imagined a showpiece with over 200 outstanding charges.

Including a pregnant woman and two children #Gaza

Here's every word Roberto De Zerbi just said on how he'll replace Xavi if the Spurs midfielder is out for a while now, the latest on his and Solanke's injuries, why he must have three meals a day with Kolo Muani, Antonin Kinsky's great day, Tel and more. www.football.london/tottenham-ho...

This is actually painful. I would be desperate to jump in front of them with a mini whiteboard and start bar modelling, if only the thought of being in the same room with them didn't make me feel physically sick. #UKEd #mathematics

Yes, these are totally the people the UK government should trust with our data and the NHS. 😫

'Friendly fire' in 3, 2, 1... Trump: “I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat…that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation.” He said that US mine “sweepers” were clearing the strait “right now”. [The i Paper]

"Agence France-Presse said its analysis of data from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) showed Russian troops made almost no territorial gains across the frontline in March – the first time this had occurred in two and a half years." @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Can Brighton hang onto the lead to leapfrog Chelsea into 6th place (Europa qualifications spot)?

In July treat your Year 9s, 10s or 12s to an interactive Much Ado About Numbers show at: - Shakespeare North (nr Liverpool) - Alleyns Theatre (Dulwich). English teacher: “I’ve never seen so many Year 9 students engaged in Shakespeare AND Maths". Details here: mathsinspiration.com/much-ado-sum...

I so want this to have started because someone asked Harry Kane if he missed the big chicken; he said 'Cockerel' and some joker handed him the cockatoo with a smart arsed comment. If it's not that, I don't want to know.

“Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.” This is why we should fund science. 🧪

Hard to tell who was the most chilled on this session yesterday… yewtree-farm.com/product/priv...

This is the company our politicians want to hand over our data and the NHS to? (Led in the UK by the grandson of Oswald Moseley!)

Xavi looks broken. I think many Spurs fans are feeling the same way. 😢 #COYS

XAVI!!! #COYS

Some proper fighting spirit from Gallagher. #COYS

Did we just have some actual good luck? #COYS

My coverage is showing highlights of the 0-4 win against Man City, Ange’s last game before all the injuries hit. Just wow, this club has fallen so far so quickly

Where they have always been - everywhere!

Devastated to hear the entire Marvel Studios’s Visual Development team has been let go. This was my old home but more importantly, the home of so many incredible artists and peers. Absolutely heartbreaking 😔 Sending all my impacted peers my love and support. Please reach out if you need anything!

Have you ever been criticised in public for using a Blue Badge? I’m looking to gather disabled people’s experiences for The Guardian to explore hostility around the Blue Badge and Motability schemes. We’ve made a quick form you can fill in here: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a... (Please share.)

These companies just work out when it's cheaper to pay the fine than take steps to avoid pollution, then choose to carry on pumping. The only way this would change is if there were jail sentences for the people making those decisions.

A #Ukrainian lady shared a video of the ruins in her hometown of Kherson. The building of a local college was destroyed by 5 Russian KABs, she wrote. Every time I or any other pro-Ukrainian account show you the footage of the ruins caused by Russia, it's never just about the walls and roof.

New term starts tomorrow so, of course, I can't sleep.

With 77% of the votes counted, the Tisza party is on track to win around 138 seats of 199 in Parliament. 133 seats are needed for a supermajority which makes it possible for a party to amend the constitution.

Sue Lambert Trust receives 85 calls for help per month from rape and abuse survivors. Funding cuts will mean that only 10 new cases can be supported. 75 will be turned away. Celina Błędowska explains. @eastangliabylines.co.uk @celinawords.bsky.social
