Ukraine will introduce a new Order of Europe award for Ukrainians and foreigners who support Ukraine's EU membership path, help defend Ukrainian independence and European security, and strengthen international cooperation for democracy and peace, Zelensky's bill proposes.

How did she manage to almost destroy John Lewis AND Waitrose? It's a mystery.

It's officially June 28th, and you know what that means... 🎉 HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY, MEL BROOKS! 🥳 @officialmelbrooks.bsky.social In the next post, I'll tell you my favorite joke cut from the Broadway production of Young Frankenstein...

This, not polar bears, is what climate crisis means. Cascading infrastructure breakdowns. Can't get around coz roads have buckled; power plants shut down coz rivers are too hot & shallow Never forget that the "economy" is a wholly owned subsidiary of nature phenomenalworld.org/analysis/glo...

🇺🇦 Zelensky: Today is Constitution Day of Ukraine! Exactly 30 years ago, the Fundamental Law of our state was adopted, which is empowered by Ukrainians. Our people, who write the pages of our history, and it is they who fill the pages of our Constitution – with life.

“It’s a disaster World Cup” - Medhi Taremi, Iran captain. Good for him to speak up, his body language says a lot more than his words. 😕

Jewish humanist Brad Lander soundly defeated Jewish pro-Zionist Dan Goldman in one of the most heavily Jewish districts in Manhattan. So much for the grotesque fiction that it is the obligation of Jews to support, excuse, or hide the Israeli slaughter of the innocents. JEWS HATE ISRAEL,TOO.

Also he owns Reform as a company he'd have to sell it for someone else to lead surely. I mean if he wants to fuck off out of Parliament that's fine but he's not going to fo that.

Why are his staff torturing him by making him wear a full suit lol ?

Just here to say ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good as she was driving away. Sue me.

You would have to be rich enough to not care or stupid or both to do this imo.

Horrifying: Worst person you know has a great idea (Not Tom. Who I'm sure is sound)

Oh no the coyotes have a different place in the ROL mythos - a much more elevated one. :)

Why it’s time for Democratic socialism!

In her later years she would bomb around lanes in Gloucestershire in a yellow MG, with MAD on its number plate. Riding in her car was what you might call a formative experience. Unsurprisingly for someone with this life story she could be obstinate. But she was, basically, a legend. RIP

I think this was the age of the Hippy Trail, but my aunt was definitely no hippy, so I wonder how all that worked out. Once she was back home in Gloucestershire she by now spoke about ten languages so she set up a translation business. But she also ran an airline on the side, as you do. 4

The walk from Concourse T to Concourse A in the Atlanta airport, takes you through a wonderful gallery of contemporary African sculpture. This piece, Protected Family, is by Joe Mutasa of Zimbabwe.

🇮🇹🇪🇺 Meloni on EU: It is clear that being a major commercial or regulatory platform is no longer enough. We need strategic autonomy, industrial capacity, technological sovereignty and financial power. Europe must be ready to use its geopolitical and geoeconomic strength.

He wasn't too keen on MoD members having the right to join a trade union though... And he supported the worst of the early Thatcher era policies

When I worked for the MoD Heseltine was technically my boss and we all hated him... the day he resigned I know someone who was waiting outside his office and saw a parade of senior civil servants passing by to raise 2 fingers... And now he seems to talk sense!

Sedge is my least favourite thing to draw. The temptation to draw every leaf is always high. Ugh.

Christopher Lee had the best voice any human ever had, RIP to the GOAT

Far-right/racist politicians in Reform/Tories and commentators in Times/Telegraph etc will scream whatever Burnham does on this. So he might was well do the right thing and ditch the whole thing, or at least the entire retrospective element, as suggested here. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

'Interior, Mornington Crescent' (1910) by Spencer Gore (Colchester and Ipswich Museums Service: Ipswich Borough Council Collection)

Chapter One, Why won't anyone love me?

Austen has been much mined, but can recommend A Very Vexing Murder which re-imagines Harriet Smith from Emma as a long con specialist in polite society. Q and Felix Leiter have their own books, surely Moneypenny deserves a novel too? Joyce's Molly Bloom meeting the Bloomsbury Group would be spicy!

Following Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and The Other Bennet Sister, which other minor literary character(s) would benefit from their own story being told?

🇺🇦"Home, back": footage from the 76th prisoner exchange 160 Ukrainian soldiers who have been in captivity since 2022 have returned home. 22 of them are border guards.

Tony Blair has become a brilliant indicator on any given issue. If he supports it, it's guaranteed to be totally and utterly morally reprehensible. He's Schrödinger's cunt.

i think in 15-20 years we will look back on legalizing sports betting and allowing platforms to advertise on TV as one of the greatest failings of the US as a society.

Just arrived in #Paris and during the heatwave you can get a daypass for buses and the métro for 5€10, less than half price. It’s an anti-pollution measure to encourage people to use transit rather than cars. (Worked for us!)

The sums involved in the MPs expenses scandal were chicken feed compared to the Farage £5m. HIs reaction - mind your own business - suggests he may not be cut out for this democracy thing app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73952/...

Just to note as to why I haven't posted recently - I had a minor brain bleed which led to a minor op where they glued some bits in place. I'm out of hospital now and normal service will be restored shortly. 😀

Here here !

End of an era :-( The last Metrocar runs today, after 46 years. People complained, but they kept this region trundling through some of the hardest times in our modern history. A proper stalwart of the north east. RIP the front window seat

BBC News weather presenter Ben Rich on the heatwave affecting the UK and Europe, "It would have been impossible, even just fifty years ago, without the effects of climate change"

When a Frenchman does it, it's a beret trick.

The way I've gotten this across in talks to US audiences is to explain that by the time the Battle of Gettysburg was fought... ...the London Underground had already been open for six months.

Well yeah, if Watergate happened again it would have gone off without a hitch because no one would have known about it until a year later when Woodward and Bernstein's book came out.

Nixon would have used NASA to yeet Vance into the sun

❗️A prisoner exchange of (around) 160 for 160 is expected to be completed and announced soon.

Could there be anything suspect about the prominent role for The Crimes Guy, who got busted for snooping on Times reporters and trying to shop them to the security services in order to kill their story about a huge undeclared bung his mates used to wage a secret dirty war against their own party 🤷🏼‍♂️

Manconomics ?
