The Screw worm example is such a great case study of how our economy is kept afloat by diligent civil servants quietly working in unglamorous projects that incredibly important

NEW: In April 2025, a school bus driver dropped off 5-year-old Lens Joseph, then ran over the kindergartner as he crossed in front of the bus. But his death — and dozens of others — are missing from the federal crash record of the bus company. w/ @wbur.org

Last night I knelt by the altar in Sherborne Abbey and instead of looking down to pray, I looked up. And marvelled.

When EMI pulled funding on LIFE OF BRIAN days before shooting, the Pythons turned to a fan. George Harrison put up around £3 million of his own money to make the film, simply because he wanted to see it. Eric Idle called it "the world's most expensive cinema ticket."

You can be quite sure hell will freeze over before she ever gets an apology from Diaper Don..His behavior was atrocious, unprofessional and made him look like a woman abuser, to which I think we all can agree that is exactly what he is among many other things, none of which is good.

x.com/eastendjoe/s.... Motherfucker turned beet red when he got called out on another lie.

x.com/speakerwelch.... This interview hurt my soul. The mistreatment of black women and journalists by this President is down right embarrassing and unacceptable. Kristin Welker is neither crooked or stupid.

x.com/antitrumpcan.... Trump walking out on Kristen Welker today reminded me of his 60 Minutes interview with Lesley Stahl in 2020. Different interviewer, same result: when he can’t control the narrative, he walks out like the petulant man-child he is. Fucking snowflake.

x.com/covie_93/sta.... It's funny how the female reporter is just sitting there all calm while the man who told you that a woman is too emotional to be president is having a full blown crash out on national TV.

x.com/levparnas/st.... Enough is enough. At what point do we stop pretending this is normal? At what point do we stop allowing @realDonaldTrump to insult women, berate women, threaten women, degrade women, and then hide behind power like he is untouchable?

www.newsweek.com/the-largest-.... A huge red flag is popping up..warning of a potentially disastrous situation predicted to soon occur, but, are we paying attention? We had better bc this situation reaches across the isles and affects us in ways we have yet to understand or imagine.

Finland’s president says EU should expand to 40 states — including Canada Finnish President Alexander Stubb has outlined his vision for a much larger European Union, saying the 27-nation bloc needs to “think big” and seize the moment to project power on the global stage.

My Korean dog wants some of my midnight pb&j sandwich but she already ate the heel of the bread that fell on the floor before I could get to it so she got way less peanut butter than she normally does and now she’s trying to use her aegyo powers to override me. It didn’t work.

#BoycottCBS I did after Trumps 60 minutes 1st term lie fest! The 6” empty pages healthcare binder one! trump cuck piece Leslie Stahl! I was a lifelong 40 year viewer! @cbsnews.com Not anymore! Only watch clips of their 4th Estate failures now. Enablers of Trump! History will not be Kind! 2029 👍🏻

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

Just killed a mosquito on a plane in Seattle that flew down from Fairbanks, Alaska and is on its way to Boston It was full of blood Great exercise in how disease vectors move about quickly

Chest X-ray is clear. There's no fluid buildup or masses. He did have a seizure waking up from sedation. The vet said she can't say for certain if that was Kieran's weird reactions to meds or a deeper issue. They reversed the seizure but he went back to sleep & hasn't awakened from that yet.

the news is not great. He's going to get a chest X-ray here but he needs a CT because the vets concern is either foreign body or tumor. It'll be about $800 today & then about $4000 for referral clinic diagnostics. I don't have this money & I'm scared I'm going to lose my heart dog. #UglyDogs
