It is currently incredibly funny how badly these MAGA fools are getting smashed in their favourite sport..

The Fabians thing is hilarious. Probably the first time a conspiracy has genuinely made me laugh out loud.

Notice of the opening of the Stockton & Darlington Railway on 27 Sep 1825, the train to leave West Auckland at 9 and, via Darlington and Yarm, arrive at Stockton-upon-Tees around 1: "Any gentleman who may intend to be present… will oblige the company by addressing a note to their office" #Railway200

Absolutely love this. 🥰🥰

this is an extraordinary canary in the coal mine

All credit to the journalists from the @chroniclelive.co.uk for managing to simultaneously frame this as somehow being the metro's fault while not making any mention of a driver whatsoever. Self driving cars, ignoring the flashing lights and sirens and hitting the Metro train. #AbsentDriver

Happy 80th birthday to my musical hero, Bryan Ferry.

I'd say the last six words of the headline may well be more important than the first ten.

Today is the European Day of Languages. And this year, we mark 25 years of celebrating multilingualism in our Union. 🥳 Languages open doors. They help us connect, explore cultures, make lifelong friends, and journey further. We remain stronger, united in our diversity. europa.eu/!6FkntW

Lots of people know Campbell was a good athlete when young, but he was *really* good. Competed at the 1964 Olympics (QF of the men's 200m/final of the 4x100m) and held the UK 100m record. Later, studying at Stanford, he twice beat a certain OJ Simpson, then a college track athlete.

Yeah, if it doesn't play with Reform voters then why bother? www.ft.com/content/5f8f...

"Somehow"? It's a complete mystery how this keeps happening.

Imagine not including this. 🧐 youtu.be/E1tOV7y94DY?...

Absolutely not. Britain came up with the migrants-eating-beloved-animals meme ("Swan bake", The Sun, 2003). And which country pioneered irresponsible speculation about medicines and autism? America is a re-exporter.

There's a restaurant in Liège that has stolen its logo off the Liberal Democrats.

Nigel Farage wants to drag Britain down the same road as Trump’s America: chaos, division and fear. Our NHS, our rights and our communities are at risk. Do not let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.

Tremendous headline. 🙃 Replacement buses as Stockton and Darlington railway hits 200 - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

In this age where an increasing number of senior leaders appear to be - to put it politely - in over their heads, I often think about Estelle Morris, who hadn't met some self-imposed targets so decided she wasn't up to the job and promptly resigned. www.tes.com/magazine/lea...

There's a wrong way and a right way to report this

Your regular reminder that cities aren’t loud. Cars are loud.

He never misses an opportunity to do harm.

Seriously. A one-hour Party Political Broadcast. Followed at the top of the next hour with top story billing and a highlights package. Exactly how will this be "balanced" across their coverage? Where is Ofcom? Where is Nandy?

Eager to read a deep dive into why Botswana excel in men's 400m btw.

Catching up on the World Athletics. Who doesn't love a relay handover controversy?

Take a look at this. Someone did the same for me 8 years ago - donated their stem cells and saved my life when I had blood cancer, and donated again when I relapsed and saved me for the second time. So get on the @anthonynolan.bsky.social or @dkms-uk.bsky.social register and you could be a hero too.

Hillsborough parkrun done. Managed to sneak back above 70% age grade (which has nothing whatsoever to do with recently becoming a year older 🤔). #parkruntourism

Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.

I would vote for him.

While I understand the BBC’s imperative to provide balance in stories, at times it can feel completely ludicrous. Data vs one person’s entirely anecdotal opinion isn’t balance.

Almost 900 fewer people have been injured on Welsh roads since the default speed limit was lowered from 30 to 20mph two years ago Casualties on 20 to 30mph roads between July and September 2024 were the lowest for the three month-period since records began in 1979 👏 Evidence-led policy

Watching the men's hammer final on catch-up, and as always am terrified by the nonchalant judges sauntering towards the hammer as it hurtles to the ground. 🫣

A lot to agree with here. Many good policies (on any coherent definition of good) are unpopular, many popular policies are not good.
