I’m just waiting for the first ‘son of a plumber’ MP…

I for one am not impressed with storm Rodney.

FYI, Artemis 2 has not left Earth orbit. Don’t believe the BBC when it tells you that.

I've waited my entire life for a moon mission, and they've only gone and put an intern in charge of the cameras. How hard can it be to film a rocket?

HABOOBS!

Most stupid & pointless bus of all time.

Bloody hell

How can someone who craves being humiliated in public be left ‘red-faced’? 😂

i saw this last night and cannot stop laughing at it

Venezuela have beaten America in the baseball world cup. Not a sentence I thought I'd ever write.

You got to feel for Matt Goodwin. Sorry missed a word. You got to feel contempt for Matt Goodwin.

Quite enjoyed the afternoon of football. Bit chilly. Shame about the loss. There’s always next season…

The worst people in the world will be forced to watch this. If that doesn't make you smile, nothing will.

I’ve got chills. They’re multiplying.

Today’s article is live and it’s an on-the-ground view of what French capitulation looked like in 1870 after the opening weeks of the Franco-Prussian War. Specifically a Metz-born officer watching his city fall… achurchill.substack.com/p/article-th...

Egan Bernal said he sad a ‘95% chance’ of either becoming paralysed or dying after his horror training ride crash in 2022. Now he's not only back cycling, but has won a stage at the Vuelta a España. This is phenomenal. Congratulations, Bernal.

Good moaning.

Whatever you do, never bluesky this again.

Incredible parallels in this Berinsky & @gabelenz.bsky.social paper. Politicians didn't stand up to Joe McCarthy in large part because they incorrectly inferred McCarthy/ism was extremely popular. Not standing up to McCarthy was a kind of 1950s Popularism gated academic.oup.com/poq/article/...
