The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

Trump’s increasingly bizarre behavior can no longer be attributed to a calculated “strategy.” Why isn’t the media reporting on Trump’s growing dementia? https://robertreich.substack.com/p/why-isnt-the-media-reporting-on-trumps-d1e

yup.

While it is objectively hilarious that Grimey has lost his grift, the funniest part of this is the idea that he "gave up" his GB News job, when he was so obviously sacked.

Fascinating. www.independent.co.uk/news/people/...

Listening to this. Very thin stuff, showing that this popular series' time had come to an end. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

How could you not love your own child? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Love to see more private employers on this list, which is still mainly public service bodies and care providers.

How depressing to look at LinkedIn and see younger people who are at risk of redundancy from Reach looking for jobs as subs and writers elsewhere. Maaate....

Tony Harrison RIP I taught Long Distance, his beautiful & honest poem about bereavement to my students for decades. Eventually, it provided consolation to me as well.

Just had my first "I must ask my sister" moment, then realised she's not here any more...

Just published: my new book "Forgotten Times" (Amberley Publishing). 180 photographs taken by me in the 1950s and 1960s on the streets of the UK, Ireland and the outer islands and depicting a world largely unknown to the present day. #up2709

This is not the next best thing. Its disgusting, inhuman and will prevent people processing their loss in a healthy way. Death is part of life. A key part of being a adult is coming to terms with that. Ban this shit.

An amazing essay by @peterjukes.bsky.social here. Epstein's many links with Russian-funded, Putin-friendly young women, his murky friendship with Trump and Trump's mysterious affinity for Putin converge. Why is Trump so desperate to keep the Epstein files under wraps? Is it more than just sex?

I'VE WORKED SO HARD THIS WEEK.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

@deliveroouk.bsky.social @justeatukpress.bsky.social Your drivers picking up from McDonalds on Balham High St have a dedicated parking space outside, so why are they blocking access to a bus stop?

The fruits of these recordings will be available on BBC Radio Wales and BBC Sounds in October. Can’t wait for you to listen.

The White House is telling Medicaid users to get jobs—while attacking everything that makes that possible.

Thanks so much for sharing and supporting this. It means a lot to Grace and me. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/86e1e73e29...

Imagine my surprise...

Good, glad they’re covering this. Rep Hortman was killed and Sen Hoffman shot just 3 months ago. Yet another MN mosque suffered an arson attack last week. This is serious.

"I know what we're doing is wrong but we're teenage kids, we're going to have a bit of fun," she tells us. "I'm sorry for most of the people we have damaged, but I have no sympathy… it's just one way of taking my anger out." How can anyone say that?

Interesting read, reminding me of how, if you're well-connected, doors do open up for you.

Hmm. Can't help noticing that I don't sell anything if I never mention my prints. Could there be a connection? Buy a print. Here's one here look. marswasrubbish.etsy.com/uk/listing/1...

Only 36% of people aged 50-66 feel they have a good understanding of workplace support available to them, and this drops to 31% for Disabled workers. It's time to bridge the gap. Employers can make a difference by clearly communicating available adjustments and fostering inclusive environments.

So for the next Rapture I'm going to go to the most religious town in America and leave little piles of clothes outside random houses before everyone wakes up.

The catering at this rapture is terrible
