This is an absurdly good analysis. It counts as one of the best things I have seen all year. It is actually thrilling to watch something and feel my mind being whispered into expanding.

No. The two are polar opposites. One group was calling for the overthrow of the state, the other group is calling for people to obey the law. I don't think it's that subtle a distinction

The world has come to a strange place when watching a video like this can bring tears to the eye of a cynical englishman

Cities thrive not on fear but empathy, on cooperation not division. That's the NYC we know and love. It has found expression in this movement. And it is rising up at the ballot box today. Polls close at 9pm: zohranfornyc.com/vote

Sweet mother of god. What witchcraft is this???

If you thought "The Last Kingdom" was a story full of thrills and spills .. get a load of this thread!

I can’t help thinking the parking app world is a vicious turf war. Ringo has taken Devon. Justpark owns Cornwall. There is a battle for Dorset…

The only sensible energy policy for the UK is renewables plus Nuclear.

All that clips like this one do is reinforce my belief that Pandas aren't real animals... They are all obviously humans in a costume.

So.. I lived in Concord,MA for a while, in a lovely house less than two miles from the North bridge. I remember being told all the stories about how Americans wouldn't stand for kings using soldiers to repress the population. And when I visited the minuteman museum, it was struck by the

They're not TERFs, they're GERMs youtu.be/q2MoQJP-PhA?...

Since the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine there has not been a single day when decisive action by Europe would not have ended the conflict, with Russia agreeing to pay reparations, within 16 weeks. Europe could resolve this before Christmas. The deal is simple ...

This is masculinity too

When its eyes have narrowed like that, it's too late...

This is terrifying - We have a government that is redefining "terrorism" in order to suppress dissent. The distortion of the meaning of "terrorism" required to proscribe Palestine Action is utterly absurd, and extremely dangerous. I cannot imagine that the UK supreme

See... This is content

So this is one of those "til" moments....having no prior knowledge or what "entemans cake" is... So, out of curiosity, I Google for a recipe....only to find (for the benefit of others) that it's a brand of rather ordinary looking mass-produced cake products. So .. in this context... The bar is low

So, I have just been in receipt of the dirtiest look from a Starbucks cashier... They asked me for a name and I said "Alfonzo" cuz, why not, but then I saw a flicker of recognition in their eyes... I think they may have remembered that yesterday I was "Michele". Woopsie.

Ah well. That settles it then...

If you're a developer under the age of 50 and without a beard it's inappropriate to use the word "grok" in everyday speech. I am sorry, I don't make the rules.

This contains one of the best sentences I've ever read on any platform. Frankly...

The world is very bad, but I found a squirrel that looks like Napoleon

Just going to put this here... Sam Altman is gonna end up in jail.

Yep. This covers it nicely

This is so freaking adorable…. 🫠 Snuggles… 🥰 🐯 🐯

Well, well, well... I feel totally vindicated over MasterChef. It's ended on precisely the two scandals that I have been predicting with utter certainty for years.

This is a really good thread. I have my own personal top tip for anyone (of whatever gender) who is bothered by someone feeding their child in public. It's this .. each of your eyes has six muscles, you can employ a combination of these to swivel your eyeballs in such a fashion as to avert your gaze

July the 4th. A day on which the amazing people of the United States chose to reject tyranny and adopt a way of governing that emphasised the rights of people, the importance of the rule of law, and to say "never again" to rule by kings. A great day.

If NATO and the USA provided Ukraine with the equipment they need... Or even just the equipment they've been promised, the conflict would be over in 12 weeks.

In "comments I nearly posted on LinkedIn" - I offer the reply I nearly posted to the chap who constantly refers back to when he was fired for saying stand-ups are pointless.. "Maybe you were fired because you're a twat?"

Good news, and a lovely bit of Sci Comm.

Never forget that #SesameStreet once did a sketch based on Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, which involved a Swedish fisherman counting seals until he found the seventh one.

If Aldi did home delivery groceries, imagine what the substitutions would be like! 🤔 Sweetcorn and Ice cream are unavailable, your substitutions are a two-person canoe and a horse blanket 😂

Posting so I have it here. Hilarious.

What’s the difference between a luxury Italian sports car and a two-piece swimming costume worn by a young sheep? One’s a Lamborghini and the other’s a lamb bikini

This is the last thing the BBC needs

Genuine question, are US troops trained to march out of step?

I am utterly unmoored by what is going on in the world today. That's all
