How very not surprising 👇

Aligns with my intuition, even if it does sound bonkers to this 80s lad.

Fifty years ago, a possibly mistaken murder and the disappearance of a playboy aristocrat gripped the nation. My documentary The Lucan Obsession starts this lunchtime at 1.45pm on BBC Radio 4. Or you can binge all 10 eps (they’re only 15 mins each) on BBC Sounds now. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

🔴🔝🔴 SFC Top 10 - biggest wins in Europe 🔴🔝🔴 #7: Saints 3-0 Sparta Prague, Europa League, 15 Sep 2016 Our Group K campaign made a great start, with Charlie “Parklife” Austin bagging 2 goals. But two poor draws against Hapoel Be’er Sheva would later cost us a place in the knockout stages. #SaintsFC

“Because the truth is, no one wins in the false choice between safety and freedom. But if we centre care, equity, and imagination, we might just build an internet that lets us all breathe easier.” We need online communities that are safe and inclusive. We can build them with care, joy, and justice.

Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

Wow. Really? Christ almighty they need to grow up a bit over the pond, don't they?

Twitter's new feature that reveals where accounts originate doesn't reveal many surprises.

www.politico.eu/article/russ... Er... Lads could be forgiven for thinking the way to make the unreasonable Russians reasonable is to... Smash them all the way back into their own borders? Too simple? Perhaps it'll dawn on the grownups eventually 🙄

And that, my dears, is a classic snakebite puncture 😥 Almost new tube too. Annoying. #commuting

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

('former') Reform UK top brass jailed for a decade on Russia bribe charges, you say? I am SHOOK. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c8... Doesn't sound very patriotic... But maybe just a wee bit Nationalist🤔🤫🤣

POV: you are a young woman celebrating a recent academic success

Nope. The headline should actually read “Astronomers using ML discover quasars acting as lenses”

The Democratic Party would be a lot better if it had embraced Zohran Mamdani the way it's embracing Marjorie Taylor Greene.

2/5 The fossil fuel industry has a long history of spreading misinformation and disinformation while blocking meaningful climate action. Despite this, lobbyists received almost 60% more passes to COP30 than the 10 most climate-vulnerable nations combined (1,061).

In the global electrification race China is marching ahead. The US and Europe risk falling behind clinging on to yesterday's technologies.

In 2019, we did something transformative: we set up a specialist Violence Reduction Unit to intervene and take a preventative approach. The impact has been huge ⬇️

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Anyone else struggling to upload pics?

So excited about the upcoming release of Equator! "We began to imagine a new cultural venture, one that rejects the nihilistic idea that the powerful do what they please, and success is the only measure of moral virtue."

Astronomers Spot a White Dwarf That's Still Consuming its Planets

A strike hit Rosneft’s Tuapse Marine Oil Terminal on the Black Sea. The deep-water berth (operational since 2013, ~7 Mt/yr capacity) was damaged. The facility handles large tankers (up to 250 m / 15 m draft) — key for Russian crude exports.

The Orchid buzz is amazing (was straight onto the waiting list).. But scary to contemplate the best ways to be a financially sustainable touring musician in 2025 are: 1. Launch a line of hardware synths, attach Matt Berry and Germaine to the promo campaign 2. Dole office 3. Be Taylor Swift

The Greens requested an interview on the Laura Kuenssberg Show with Zack Polanski when he was elected leader, but were denied, with a promise to interview him during Green conference instead. This was then scrapped citing the Manchester synagogue attack. Polanski is both Jewish and from Manchester
