Watching #c4news and the Lib Dems still have Tim Farron front and centre, which seems an odd way to encourage possible voters

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

#bbcnews had an interview with Ed Davey on 6 o’clock news tonight. What did Chris Mason ask him about? Yes you guessed it - Nigel Farage. Nothing about LibDem policies. Mason forced the discussion back to Farage over and over again. Disgraceful journalism.

Watching #Kigali2025 World Championships cycling. Lovely smooth roads. Maybe we can thank the Tories for that

Learn how to deadlift and never worry about picking up your kids, or grandkids

A great day to be Canadian, except if you’re Vince Gasparro

Friday challenge: read to the end of this. Winners get to go outside, touch grass, reflect on their priorities

And you don’t even need to be American

Laugh at Trump’s ridiculous innumeracy, sure. But the commander of the world’s most powerful military is responding to relevant questions about the laws of armed conflict by claiming that the existence of drug deaths in general permits him to kill anyone he feels like, which is very serious.

yeah, it’s an inherent flaw in bluesky's approach to social media

in the 23rd century historians are going to need have their Routledge Handbook of 21st-Century Internet Memes, their Cambridge Companion to 4Chan, and their Oxford Guidebook to Computer Gaming Culture handy to make sense of the rise of American fascism and the fall of the United States

I’d forgotten about Angela Rayner

The t-shirt print is a great gauge of how bad the result is

Good for RTE. And excellent timing too—we usually have this conversation just as the competition is starting, which is very unfair on the participants. www.rte.ie/entertainmen...

A member of the Face-Eating Leopard Party speaks

Starmer decided to back him yesterday and accept a solid beating at PMQs from a lightweight. That's going to stick

I'd hope that no UK coach will work with him and that no UK swimming club will have him as a member. He should not be an inspiration to any young swimmer. Let him count his Trump money in infamy.

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory? Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

AirPods Pro 3’s auto translate means Americans can hear the French and German people mocking them in real time. #Apple #Iphone #Airpods

TL cleanse

🤮

Can anyone explain why Dr Aseem Malhotra is still on the register? Seems at least as bad as Wakefield

Tried BBC News before this morning’s bike ride. Lead story on small boats (of course), with trailers for a Kuennsberg interview with Farage later. Grim.

Free speech update

This thread by @sophieehill.bsky.social is a great illustration of why statistical literacy matters/is useful -she destroys this paper/the Guardian story without knowing anything about the underlying science...

Scales have fallen from eyes at The Atlantic, this is good stuff

Per its wiki page, Tylenol is only available in 23 countries

We said this about Brexit too. The risk needs to be articulated better

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him

This album is an odd one. It’s deliberately lo-fi and sounds great on the radio, but disappointing as a sit-down listen

Daft Punk in Sankeys, Manchester before the first album came out. They didn’t have the helmets on, but I don’t remember what they looked like

RFK Jr seen rushing to White House with a tray of leeches...

If you listen to a Taylor Swift song played backwards, you can catch autism

Every time someone reposts this, a European cries

[After hearing The Final Countdown for a second time] Those fucken liars!

Watching #Breaking4 on YouTube. 45 minutes until Faith Kipyegon attempts a 4 minute mile. Rooting for her

I’ve been saying this for years: heatwaves aren’t ice creams and smiling suns. They’re collapsing infrastructure, wildfires, pets begging for mercy, and preventable deaths... Media picture editors need to do better and use 'climate-impactful' images. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A 21-year-old Norwegian was stopped at Newark airport. ICE asked to see his phone and found a picture of JD Vance (a rare Vance). Then things got nasty. “I was pushed up against a wall and was strip-searched with a lot of force. They were incredibly harsh and used physical force the whole time"

Reminder: there’s Signal instead of WhatsApp signal.org

brilliant

“completely and totally obliterated“

Edmonds once suggested to someone with cancer that it might be because of “negative attitude”, yet he is warmly presented here as a harmless eccentric

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing
