I never had a teacher believe in me like this.

Couldn’t even watch it tonight They literally spent 3 minutes of a highlights show reading out all 34 names of the people in the breakaway before immediately going to ads before coming back to a completely different group at the front Just a lazy lazy show

Not saying that game was stolen from Egypt but it is now on display at museum in London.

Average UK Life Expectancy General population 81 White learning disabled people 62 Minority ethnic learning disabled people 34

What the hell is this? They should have lost by 30.

Wow

I’m in absolute bits I’m so sorry if you went to bed and didn’t see this live

One of the unknown behaviours that Elliott has is a big problem with people crossing their legs We don’t why but will cross a room to uncross an unknown person’s legs Who knows where it came from but it’s something we have to manage

I didn’t expect to evoke Donald Rumsfeld when I sat down to try and articulate how much of my son’s life is a mystery to us - and yet here we are #autism #learningdisabiliites communitylivingmagazine.com/ian-goldswor...

So Tour De France on channel 5… Bit soulless Covered the racing but had no feeling of the event I missed Gary, Ned, David and the rest of the ITV team And good lord I missed the theme tune I’m sure it’ll do but it doesn’t feel like summer without the old #tdf highlights show

Yes, it's what you think. Nobody bought the crypto on the market, it was sold directly to entities like UAE Sovereign Wealth ($500m), Alt5 Sigma ($1.5B, after which the company essentially collapsed and it's about to be delisted), and "Whale 0x0249," an unknown person who funneled $80 million.

It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

Life was so much better when Dennis Waterman was queen.

The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan.bsky.social foreignpolicy.com/2026/06/25/r...

Biting lip, trying to not get political, but ughhhh this really sucks.

This is a fantastic bit of rhetoric that stomps all over Elon Musk’s stupid space fantasies

Holy shit My wife’s cousin just won the #countdown series final in the highest scoring game in the history of the show

I thought kick off was later and I’m sad I somehow missed it but that’s a great result for Scotland.

I have heard nothing but ice cream vans all afternoon I have not seen a single ice cream van This is a less than ideal situation

I love this kid vomiting up FIFA

Just took my son for a post A Levels pub dinner only to find his entire teaching staff there getting absolutely plastered at a leaving do for some of the staff A shock for him and them in equal measure

Rebecca: "Chaps, Alexi left us" Zlatan: "Who? Rebecca: "Alexi will be back, Alexi will be back with us very soon" Thierry: "Your plan worked, Rebecca" Rebecca: "Don't you bring me into this, no chance" Zlatan: "America, you're welcome" lmaooooooooooooooooo

A really strong ending saves an interesting book that loses its way in the first two thirds And what is with the dreadful and seemingly random covers of these versions of John Wyndham’s books Man in a deck chair for The Kraken Wakes??? app.thestorygraph.com/books/d02072...

This is brilliant

This is probably a very niche objection to AI but I think it is going to Americanise our grammar. Somebody tried to put commas in front of my coordinating conjunctions today which I stylistically object to….but if you Google it, AI will tell you it is right even for British English.

Don’t ban kids using YouTube. Make YouTube behave like a broadcaster. Pay creators. Reinvest in the creative industries. Pay fair tax back into creators’ economies. Follow guidelines on fair usage and copyright. Play fair. It’s bigger than TV now. Make it behave like TV.

Had to rewind. This is so funny

Simon Farnaby-written Dr Who movie with songs by Neil Hannon

This chart remains undefeated

Everyone on X and elsewhere who called for a violent response should be charged with incitement. Everyone involved in the pogrom should be locked up with exemplary sentences. Govt should make it clear that will be the response in future anywhere else. Enough.

This is what a pogrom looks like: men in masks coming to drive you from your home. This is a collective failure of our political and media class because we did not have the courage to say no, and because too many were allowed to embrace this without shame

If Musk was Russian or Chinese and behaving in the same way, he'd be declared a threat to national security, banned from entering the country and X would be blocked

Fascinating age split on this one. Young people are both more likely to use AI and more likely to want it to disappear.

Exclusive: Nearly half of school and trust leaders think the volume of parent complaints is reaching ‘breaking point’ – with many saying the issue is contributing to staff leaving, Browne Jacobson research shows

Short summary for international followers Christian Eriksen collapsed in the 65th minute. He was shielded by players from both teams. Approximately 7–8 minutes later he was reported conscious. He then walked out of the stadium on his own. According to TV2, he is being examined at Odense Hospital

I am so relieved Christian Eriksen seems to be OK after collapsing in the Denmark v Ukraine friendly. I think he must be in Ryan Mason territory now, though - technically could play again, but far too dangerous.

Scientifically, a raven has 17 primary wing feathers, the big ones at the end of the wing. They are called pinion feathers. A crow has 16. So, the difference between a raven and a crow is only a matter of a pinion.

I hate this, his heart attack a few years back was so upsetting — desperately hope he’s ok
