He's going to come up against pissed off trade unions if they try to bring in Trump policies. They won't have a clue what hit them, or how to cope with the fallout.

Went to see the film "September 5" today. Absolutely riveting, incredibly well acted. Every journalism student should watch it and debate the ethical problems it posed. Do it in a pub for best effect. But just go and see it!

I remember sending a 120 page, single sided document fax from London to Glasgow and getting a furious call saying it was blank when it arrived. I'd put it down the wrong side up. Embarrassing!

Absolutely. A proper champions league, that was. And the Cup Winners cup... for Cup winners. And fewer breaks in the domestic programme. And the anticipation and excitement of playing a team you'd never seen before. We have the Super league by the back door.

Nationalisation. Normally used to rescue strategic businesses and industry. Though I think in this case it's straightforward theft for, maybe, personal gain.

These shimmering cosmic curtains show interstellar gas and dust that has been heated by the flashbulb explosion of a long-ago supernova. The gas then glows infrared light in what is known as a thermal light echo. As the supernova illumination travels through space at the speed of light, the echo appears to expand. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope observed this light echo in the vicinity of the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, J. Jencson (Caltech/IPAC)

4 years ago today, then President Donald Trump incited an armed attack on the Capitol of the United States, while also reportedly suggesting to aides that his own VP deserved to be executed by a mob of his supporters at the Capitol. Those who minimize what he did, or whitewash it, are lying to you.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

A minimalist illustration showing a packaged charger box labeled "one Union one Charger." The box features an image of a blue charger with the European Union flag symbol and a USB-C cable. The scene is set within a holiday theme, with decorative Christmas trees, ornaments, and gift boxes surrounding the charger box. In the top right corner, there is a small EU flag symbol.

It’s time for THE charger.

Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU.

It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need!

Hey mom, look: I lost a cable show, started my own small business, and still went from 53 last year to 36 this year in @mediaite's list of the 75 "most influential in news media" people.

When I left X, I left 260000ish followers who cared about the NHS.

This is bad because the NHS is in a state of emergency and EveryDoctor has just launched an important petition. If you can see this, please could you follow me and share this? πŸ€žπŸ’™πŸš¨
