Mercedes: well clearly Red Bull are ahead by MILES Red Bull: Mercedes is fucking with you, they’re gonna have a 5 minute lead in Australia McLaren: we just can’t keep up with Ferrari man, we’re so behind Ferrari: so the run plan today went well, we did what we needed to do, which is drive.

Fun fact: Admiral Vian, who had been involved in the actual hunt for Bismarck, was pretty pissed off with the film because he felt it unfairly removed the involvement of the Polish. (great film in general though. one of my faves)

In a pretty grim decision - with one very considerable silver lining - the High Court has dismissed our challenge to the EHRC Interim guidance. A number of resources follow in a 🧵.

Lol. "Sorry, sweedhard. The spreadsheed exhibition will have to waid, the boss is calling be again."

The US is a rogue state and its allies should be distancing themselves

In addition to this, the US is attempting to starve Cuba, which has developed a vaccine against lung cancer and an independent COVID vaccine among other things

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC FLIGHT SPECIAL For those who read National Geographic, their edit of our supplied article has published in this special publication which is available now, featuring 12 pages of reconnaissance history!

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees. This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

Labour are now actively working toward a reform by-election win unless they back the Greens. The bigger group doesn't split the vote. The smaller one does. Fix up, Labour.

It is funny that lefties are lectured about "not understanding economics" while every day rachel reeves says some version of, "first we get growth, then we can invest"

Ilford Kentmere 200 and 400 are back in stock in 35mm and 120 formats. You can see our complete film selection right here:

This just isn’t true. They could literally legislate to confirm the previously assumed position

So good that we restored normal politics after Corbyn with a party more concerned with legislating trans people out of existence than thinking about taxes. Incredibly normal party. Well done everybody.

Just finished recording our latest podcast episode. A big deep dive on the Levy Review! We read the levy review so you don't have to. We didn't want to either, but here we are...

👇 If you see an average anti-trans article in a UK media outlet you can guess with about 90% accuracy who's going to be quoted every time, and which organisations pretty much every time

Here's a real life example of how Labour's far right policies on immigration work in practice. Our star employee needs a UK work visa. Repressive regime at home, they aren't going back there. Thanks to the increase in the threshold they got a very nice pay rise. 1/

In case you were still in any doubt over whether The Guardian was going to absolutely ratfuck us on the overdiagnosis narrative lol

New episode is out now. It's not an Apache and @navalairhistory.com tells all. #avgeek #aviation #ww2

Labour has brought back section 28 against trans and non-binary individuals. I lived through section 28 last time. I suffered the harms of it. This will do the same thing. Not even allowing young people to socially transition is plain wrong. It prevents them finding their own identity.

Tell us again why we should worry about a (maybe) Reform government in 3.5 yrs time

So, it looks like the new DfE guidance on trans students in schools incorporates recommendations from the Cass report. Suffice to say that is an *incredibly awful* decision. Here's a thread with my analysis of Cass on social transition from back in 2024.

Do you want to help fight the genocide in Occupied Palestine, but you're not sure where to start? Participating in BDS is an easy way to stand in solidarity with Palestine. Start with one brand on the list and expand from there!

“We would expect support for full social transition to be agreed very rarely” There you have it, the gov wants trans kids to rot in the closet

Hugo nominations are open so I am sharing this once more ❤️

Verstappen: the new F1 cars have "gone woke"

To be honest I thought back when they specced a Mechachrome engine that they weren't really serious Still not great news for the series

this's all you need to know about peston.

This is the photo that prompted me. I think VB bleached it lighter specifically to… highlight 🥁… the two tone.

Have we noted that that the two-tone Cadillac livery aligns with the drivers’ hair colors? #F1

#BREAKING EU Parliament votes to accept a report, that calls for "the full recognition of trans women as women" as part of the EU priorities for the UN CSW on "women’s rights and gender equality." #Eurovision #EU

It really is unfortunate that it’s not possible to have a reasonable discussion about stealing people’s work and putting them out of business with regurgitated substandard slop on here

If you want people to be 'reasonable' about a subject, I highly recommend not stealing from them, attempting to coerce them into using a mutilated mockery of their own stolen goods and then sniggering that this will ruin their livelihood.

What is in a name? When it comes to the North American A-36 dive-bomber, quite a lot! This week, we tackle the thorny subject of the A-36's moniker and get into the story of one of the lesser-known members of the Mustang family with @navalairhistory.com. 📺️: youtu.be/QJwpgWUuFFI 🎧️: pod.fo/e/38e474

A handful of moderately successful sportspeople even I’d never heard of

Sam Altman is one of the people I was talking about who is actively participating in devaluing labor. He is an active collaborator with the billionaires who want to use this tech to commodify all human activity to enrich themselves. No this is not hyperbole. I mean it quite literally.

I sold this cheeky chap while I was away… he was one I almost kept cos he reminded me of Dad. But I’m glad he’s going to make someone else happy, and it’s serendipitous he sold this week. Almost like a message from dad really - to keep going… #birdart 🪶 #bsnm More pebble art Artofnote.sumupstore.com

I've seen this happen and it's wonderful when it does - when a publisher is truly excited about a book, and united in their enthusiasm, it really can move the dial. #ipgsc

NEW ANALYSIS: China's CO2 has now been 'flat or falling' for 21 months * Down in 2025 * Still below Mar 2024 * Clean energy wave a key factor If this is China's peak (TBC) it's the climate story of the century so far… www.carbonbrief.org/...

We rank every single Bond car in this episode btw

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

the media: keir starmer must resign! keir starmer must resign! keir starmer must resign! keir starmer must resign! keir starmer must resign! wes streeting: hello. the media: oh shit. um, embattled keir starmer has fought back against his critics and stabilised his position!

The Saxon baptistry at St. Peter, Barton-upon-Humber might be even older than the C10th tower. Both were built (in part) with Roman stone transported by river from Yorkshire. Many burials beneath are older than the church.

I'm so pleased to find that my piece "Skyfire Flight" will be included in the Infected By Art volume 14 annual! It's an honor to be included among so many amazing artists 💚 #IBA14 #InfectedByArt #watercolor #dragons www.infectedbyart.com/iba14artist....

I am starting a studio! We are small and scrappy and have no money. Why am I doing this? Because the only ones who can protect art are the ones who value it. Disney using AI? Yuck. Netflix buying WB? Also yuck. In 10 years what is even going to be left.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick
