I won’t lie I needed to hear this today lol x 💞🥰 🙏

A thread of inspirational quotes from two of my idols: Kemi Badenoch and Ange Postecoglou (uh-oh, I may have gotten some mixed up... or have I??) 🧵

This is the clip the BBC did not think worth showing on the 6 o’clock news. Disgraceful.

Great anecdote here from former FT editor Richard Lambert on the time Manmohan Singh came to the FT to talk with him and Martin Wolf. H/T @andymukherjee70.bsky.social

This is apparently from the New York Times 100 years ago this week. History is full of these forgotten characters but it would be fascinating to know what if anything happened to this Hitler character.

Finally, a sensible choice.

screw you winter, the days get longer from here onwards #solstice

21 off 14, great platform, really sets things up for overs 6-10

Business is business

My take on the green belt? What seemed a good idea at the time has become counter-productive. Instead of preventing suburban sprawl, it's encouraged exurban sprawl. Commuters now simply leapfrog over the green belt into what should have been deep rural beyond.

This could be interesting. AI has the potential to transform healthcare. Question is, does healthcare want to be transformed? Plenty of traditional players with a lot to lose…

Silly I know but I’ve penned an ode- or poem if you will- to my new favourite app, bluesky. Be kind in your judgement I beseech you my liege!. lol 🪶

Great to see a proper debate re. England progress between Courtney Lawes and Ugo Monye on TNT post #EngvsRSA game. Beats the usual bantz and platitudes we get from sports pundits

NEW: RFK is Trump’s nominee for Health Secretary. Buckle up.

If I ever refer to Twitter as ‘the other place’ can someone please shoot me in the head. Cheers 👍

Don’t want to get too hopeful but I really believe this app could become the new mastodon

I think it's interesting and instructive that Threads has been overrun by liberal election fraud conspiracies and Bluesky just... hasn't. (h/t @taylorlorenz.bsky.social) I suspect that's because Threads is 100% algorithmic media, and Bluesky has no algorithm to game. www.usermag.co/p/metas-thre...

congrats everyone, Bluesky is now the dominant social network for complaining about Twitter

the Queen calling Boris Johnson an “idiot” is one of many brilliant revelations in Tim Shipman’s new book

In the 17 years Pep has been a manager he'd never lost four games in a row - until now.

I can thoroughly recommend deck.blue for those who, like me, could only tolerate Twitter via Tweetdeck.

$96.7Bn in US taxes paid by undocumented immigrants (quoted on CNN). Staggering

NEW: I ran 80,000 simulations of the election. My wife left me for a guy who doesn’t do that.

The New Yorker nails it
