Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Farewell Tom Stoppard. I know I'm supposed to consider "Arcadia" your best work, but there's no improving on Brazil's taut first hour & the office dialogue in particular.

Okay but you're getting ITV.

Am I the only one getting this?

RIP to one of Britain's top playwrights and one of my favourite writers, Sir Tom Stoppard. Here's Sir Tom the evening he received @writersguildgb.bsky.social Outstanding Contribution to Writing Award. He deserved all of his honours.

We are so sad to learn of the death of Tom Stoppard, a v long-term + loyal member of the WGGB

A recipient of our Outstanding Contribution to Writing Award in 2017, he was presented by former WGGB President David Edgar, who said of him, “Like no one else, he has challenged, dazzled and amazed”

Yes. It is impossible currently to buy my book Be Funny Or Die and have me benefit from that sale. Unless you do so on audiobook, cos I reserved those rights. You can listen, but any actual books for sale aren’t paying me.

What did the forensics lab say the meal was?

The only thing left to say is groovy.

Just … fab

And gear. Mustn't forget gear.

The Blind Date couple who married in front of millions Sue and Alex Tatham became the first couple who met on Blind Date to get married. They reflect on a life together 40 years after the show first broadcast.

Lovely story that cheered up my morning 😍

A racist might forget, but a victim of racism never does.

‘Enduring’ legacy of Damilola Taylor hailed 25 years on from killing Family of tragic Damilola, 10, join forces with Sir Mark Rowley and Sir Sadiq Khan to fight knife crime across London

25 years ago, London lost a bright, caring 10-year-old boy to an act of senseless violence.

The Damilola Taylor Trust continues to transform young lives for the better and has turned unimaginable heartbreak into an enduring legacy for young people across our city.

@stevedoherty.bsky.social speaks for us all.

To ensure my house never comes anywhere near the new Mansion Tax, I'm removing the inside loo and reinstating the outside privy.

In a surprise twist, to take the sting out of her Budget Statement, Rachel Reeves is opening with a song.

A racist might forget, but a victim of racism never does.

Whether in a school, a family or a workplace, "banter," like "teasing," is often about power and dominance. The giveaway is that if the powerless try to "banter" back, or the victim tries to tease the teaser, they’re told they're being oversensitive or even hostile.

Leaked call between Yuri Ushakov and Steve Witkoff: SW: Well listen. I am going to tell you something. I think, I think if we can get the Russia-Ukraine thing solved, everybody'll be jumping for joy. YU: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you need to solve only one problem. [laughs] SW: What? YU: Russian-Ukrainian war. SW: I know! How do we get that solved?

One thing about the Witkoff call leak is it finally confirms that rather than being some cunning double-agent working for the Kremlin, he is literally just a man totally clueless and enamoured by Putin and his regime.

Millions of lives and the future of Ukraine and Europe in the hands of an oaf.

Paint a Volga picture.

"When I was a child, I was racist like a child, I used slurs like a child, I sang Nazi songs like a child.

When I became a man, I realised I had to leave the singing and the slurs to my followers and present myself as a reasonable sort of bloke so as not to scare the normies."

Got excited when I heard Rachel Reeves is presenting us with a Budget on Wednesday. I thought she'd said budgie.
