This lot do a very good five minute morning read on international news that doesn’t make the media’s usual priority list. Pitched light but with links to drill into details and with informed, intelligent, neutral commentary to give context. @internationalintrigue.io

If you were considering a challenge to our government’s radical proposals to remove the use of juries then this piece could give a good starting framework of alternative options. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk @tewkesburylibdems.bsky.social @cheltgreenparty.bsky.social

I’ve got a Welsh mate who’s got no further than Diolch and wants a learning partner. Time to give Say Something in Welsh another go. #lingsky

I’m so happy to see this. The lack of journalistic solidarity & collective action over the killing of journalists in Gaza has been distressing. Will @nujofficial.bsky.social step up & follow this lead?

The use of the term Terrorist by the USA for every single person or group who their government doesn’t like is so transparently manipulative it’s become tedious.

Fight Club finale for the modern era.

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk. That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

"Unskilled labour."

Bringing up Farage being a racist won't shift any opinions on him. Pushing him on the fact his close associates take Russian money will.

I could probably compile all of this lad’s threads into a handbook and start a decency cult.

What are the pros/cons to an Olympic swimmer of holding in their farts?

No, the opposite - and I base that on musical ability. When Dracula complimented the singing of his Children of the Night he wasn’t on about some screeching moggies. The defense rests m’lud.

Yes he may have bungled his response to a lethal pandemic, but this book about Shakespeare that Boris wrote instead of attending those COBR meetings will clearly stand the test of time.

Jesus. It looks very much like the Telegraph has attracted entirely the wrong kind of attention from a sitting judge.

And this time pwaff pwaff don’t have a *tousles hair* well erm PM who’s compromised by Russia squash it. Ergo sum est haw haw.

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.

We’ve had a series of things on since Sept so work on the #Allotment has been patchy at best. My mower won’t start (fuel pipe issue) and the beds look like a rewilding project. I need a team of navvies to get back on track!

Top work from Labour this, the ultimate seal of approval.

Hear me out. Everyone knows the old "You can fascinate a woman with a piece of cheese" thing, so what if we got a bunch of gold things, like Ferrero Rocher wrappers or whatever, and just made a little trail leading off a short pier

"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob." —FDR, 1936

Traitors on the inside, Trump on the outside ... who’d want to run the BBC now? Actually, I would This week’s column by Stewart Lee www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

She’s so good. She makes complexity clear but doesn’t try to tell you it’s not complex.

Siberian folk-pop. The band is Otyken.

The BBC should reply to Trump’s suing them for portraying him as an insurrectionist by doing another documentary about him being a paedophile. Let’s have a court look at that one.

This is Keir Starmer’s moment to stand up for Britain and call on Trump to drop his ludicrous lawsuit against the BBC. The Prime Minister has spent months cosying up to Trump. If he can’t stop him from attacking one of our most precious institutions, what was it all for?

People are using AI to talk to Jesus. Why it’s controversial – NBC10 Philadelphia Reach out and touch faith

I'm calling it. I reckon Trump knew Epstein.

The only reason we know anything about the Epstein files is because the survivors refused to give up. This release is about the the bravery & tenacity of the survivors who continue to fight for justice in a system seeking to crush, silence, and erase them.

Huge congratulations to Terror for winning the War on Terror ♥️

The BBC is the single greatest instrument of soft power any country has ever had. Removing the BBC would be an act of national sabotage.
