A triceratops skeleton that once greeted visitors at a Wyoming museum is heading to an online auction as dinosaur prices keep soaring.

The Pentagon confirmed there was NO sign that Iran was going to attack the U.S. No imminent threat. No authorization from Congress. No reason our service members should be dead. And no exit plan or strategy. This war on Iran is a reckless and deadly mistake by this regime.

Welp

Dear Matt Goodwin, why are you such a bad loser? For @thenewworldmag.bsky.social www.thenewworld.co.uk/zoe-grunewal...

And this: “If you took every true thing President Donald Trump said during Tuesday's State of the Union address and tattooed it onto the genitalia of a flea, there would still be room for the Gettysburg Address. (Depending on the endowment of the flea and the size of the font you were using.)”

Distressing. I see them almost every day. Swans form monogamous pairs and often mate for life. They work together to defend territory, build nests, and raise their young. And it's the young, cygnets, who are being most impacted by this lethal strain of bird flu. 😢 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm old enough to remember when polio ripped through the globe and put my friends into iron lungs. We dutifully lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. RFK Jr. is a disgrace.

Arrest him. 'As the Prime Minister’s Article 50 letter made its way to Brussels, Nigel Farage paid “a personal tribute and thank you” Stephen K. Bannon for the role he played in securing victory for the Leave campaign in the European Union (EU) referendum.' www.breitbart.com/europe/2017/...

Someone needs to tell Trump.

So it turns out Matt Goodwin's Reform campaign manager was a holocaust-denying Nazi who said he would "never touch a Jewish woman.” When do we start seeing all the coverage of the antisemitism crisis in Reform UK? www.jewishnews.co.uk/reform-uk-su...

Nearly 100k people have joined our call to get dangerous US spy tech firm out of our NHS. Palantir's founder has called for the NHS to be ripped up. Now his company has access to millions of patient records. Tell the government to end the contract! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Please explain to me why when 86% of Labour voters want to rejoin, Labour says no we won't.

This Ancient Egyptian board game is almost 4,000 years old! Known as ‘Hounds and Jackals’ or ‘Game of 58 holes’, its original name is unknown. It’s suggested it was played in a similar way to ‘Snakes and Ladders’. 📷 The Met www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti... #Archaeology

We thank Mark for his service.

Not sure ‘botched’ Brexit is the way to go. Particularly as Farage agrees, blames the Tories and threatens to make it even worse. At some point you need to tell the truth. It’s not botched. It’s exactly what you get when you prioritise prejudice over pragmatism. app.independent.co.uk/2026/02/01/2...

This is what they have in the USA and what Nigel Farage wants to bring to the UK.

Horrific.

Quite a double whammy for him today...

The fact Farage isn't sueing ITV, BBC , National Newspapers etc as the publishers - tells you everything .

Nobody is going to look at your AI generated images 60 years from now and say “wow!”

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

The decision to degrade the national cultural center of the United States by sticking the presidential oaf’s name up there in front of Kennedy’s was unanimous - once dissenters had been silenced.

If Sir Tom can do it....

Welcome news that the UK will re-join Erasmus, providing life-changing opportunities for students to study across Europe. We must continue rebuilding our relationship with Europe: secure the youth mobility scheme, re-join the customs union, and begin talks to re-join the EU.

Trump posted this without knowing Nick Reiner had been arrested. He posted it apparently assuming that one of his fans had murdered Rob Reiner. So if you want to know how Trump will react once his fans start murdering his enemies, now you know. He'll celebrate and blame his enemies.

“Let me state the obvious: Antisemitism is always wrong. Islamophobia is always wrong. Intentionally killing civilians is always wrong, whether on a beach in Sydney or a beach in Gaza. Can we not all agree on all of the above? Is that really so hard” - my take for Zeteo’s First Draft newsletter:

Where are these proud Brexiters' will-of-the-people and sovereignty arguments now? They seem to prefer being the gimp of a foreign autocrat, to accepting the wishes of the majority in their own country. Is this why they wanted to "take back control"? To hand it over? ~AA

How it started ... How it's going. ReformUK-controlled Worcestershire council - one of three visited by Zia Yusuf's "DOGE" team, promising huge savings - has applied for permission to raise council tax by 10%! 😱 ~AA

Why would I want to use X? Challenging a bunch of bots is futile.

On Dec 3, the US Dept of Homeland Security announced the arrest of an Afghan national it labeled an “illegal alien terrorist,” accusing him of supporting ISIS-K. The statement offered no evidence & little context, treating the arrest itself as proof. The man, Jan Shah Safi, is a fmr senior...
