The BBC has long pursued a strategy of appeasing its enemies and alienating its friends. The result is an endless series of capitulations to those political forces most determined to destroy it www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-bbc-su...

Sterling Hayden's beard in this clip is one of the most insane beards I've ever seen. x.com/realhoopermo...

Incredible that Robbie Gibb - most influential person on BBC board by many accounts and from journalists I speak in BBC - was involved in setting up GB News. GB News of course has breached Ofcom rules on *multiple* occasions - no sign of resignations though www.theguardian.com/environment/...

A truly insane price for the "Upgrade"! They have reduced the base price of the game to only £15.99 on Steam but the "Upgrade" is a whopping £35.99.

She is either a credulous idiot or she is an active collaborator, I don't know which is worse.

Completely meaningless when Robbie Gibb remains on the BBC Board. Also, this will clearly be interpreted as him resigning because of left-wing bias, not right-wing (see the Donald Trump stuff). www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Thomas Pynchon's appearance on the Simpsons

Great video from Not Just Bikes about John Forester, advocate for vehicular cycling and scourge of protected bike infrastructure (e.g. bike lanes). www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRPd...

This is hilarious but Robert Pattinson is 39; he's definitely a millennial. x.com/xxxrept/stat...

Leonard Cohen died the day before Donald Trump won the 2016 Presidential election.

You like Thunderbirds? Of course you do. ITV Retro are streaming back to back Thunderbirds episodes for the show's 60th anniversary. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDKp...

I'd really like this to happen because I need a new PC and the cost of almost half of a new PC these days is purely the graphics card.

The least surprising news in the world. www.pcgamer.com/games/action...

BREAKING: A man who threw a sandwich at a federal agent during Trump’s law enforcement surge in Washington, D.C., is found not guilty of assault.

I knew Marineland was a completely horrible organization which committed widespread animal cruelty, but since Marineland went bankrupt at the start of this year, a load of animals have been left in limbo, in both Canada and France. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

I love that Trump already hates JD Vance, probably a lot faster than it took him to hate Mike Pence.

I've reviewed @microidsoff.bsky.social's Syberia - Remastered for @official.entertainium.co; a beautiful modernization of an adventure game classic. entertainium.co/2025/11/06/s...

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

It's nice to receive a little bit of good news for once.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Absolutely same. I once cared about saving the BBC but the News division especially is simply not worth saving. Year Zero for the BBC.

succinct

A thoroughly horrible man and one of the most powerful Vice Presidents ever, with the blood of hundreds of thousands on his hands. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

New awareness campaign

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

Obviously the mass stabbing on the train on Saturday was awful, but the way to prevent such incidents is not to make train travel like airline travel. Also it is only thanks to our robust gun laws that this wasn't a mass shooting.

You don't dismiss 30-40 people for "gross misconduct" at the same time. That literally never happens. This was pure union busting.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

everyone automatically clacks these twice upon picking them up because deep down we all know we’re crabs

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

If you're in need of positive and rather wholesome news, there's a high school teacher named Bryan who took a ton of freely licensed celebrity headshots at the New York Film Festival last month for Wikipedia, and I truly can't believe how drastic the upgrade is for some articles (thread)

Rounding out this year's Halloween season, I watched the gloriously 80s Fright Night (1985). letterboxd.com/gbrading/fil...

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

This is the same toilet that was stolen from Blenheim Palace two days after it was installed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We should be asking this c o n s t a n t l y.

I've watched William Peter Blatty's very odd The Ninth Configuration (1980). letterboxd.com/gbrading/fil...

Oh it's full on Edward VIII treatment. Although worse I guess because Edward got to remain as "Duke of Windsor". www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

More of this please (take away some of that Reform lead).

"Remember the Gravely! To hell with Venezuela!" the newspapers were gearing up to say.

Reviving these photos I got in January 2023 I'm never getting a better pair of photos than these in my life, they're too powerful together

The Chancellor herself being a landlord is something of a conflict of interest, I would say? Not that anyone cares.

lmao, the irony

A writer tried dating alt-right men as an experiment to learn about them. There is so much going on here I don't even know where to start www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

Trump had momentarily turned his attention off Jerome Powell but this undoubtedly focus his mind again.

"What if these people can't vote?" "I want to be their mayor too!" Seriously can we have this one nice thing, please. 🙏 x.com/allenanalysi...

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)
