Likely-historic photo by NBC News of all the Epstein victims asked to raise their hands if they've not yet been asked to meet with the DOJ as Bondi testifies in foreground

I do wish the other media would start reporting all of this. Why are they not scrutinising Farage?

What a brilliant final over from Sam Curran, saved England's bacon right at the death. But congratulations to Nepal, they were so close to causing one of the biggest shocks in world cricket #T20WorldCup

Watching the ice hockey, and I can't see the puck! I'm thinking a brightly coloured puck might be easier to see??!! #WinterOlympics

FT | Chelsea 0-2 Arsenal

⚽️ Mead
⚽️ Mariona

Huge blow to Chelsea's title chances.

Brilliant 2nd half performance from Arsenal. Mead + McCabe superb. Defended resolutely despite Thompson's pace + James' brilliance after coming on. Go within a point of Chelsea.

Kyiv is under heavy attack.
Windows and walls are shaking.
No water.
No electricity.

I don’t know how long the world can just watch.

Saturday morning in Kyiv.

no electricity.

Switched on the EcoFlow, made warcoffee.
No, they won’t break us.

Beryl Cook: Pride and Joy review – a saucy parade of bouncing bosoms, smirky smokers and a spot of BDSM Roof-felters, bawdy boozers, off-duty sailors, whip-wielding dominatrixes … this 100th birthday show in Cook’s home town is an exuberant celebration of working-class frivolity

Lovely 5 star review in the Guardian for the Beryl Cook Exhibition at The Box, Plymouth.

Greetings from Kyiv.
I know some of you care.
Today, I’ve felt tired and sleepy all day.

Anyway, everything will be fine.

Lovely morning in Dartmouth.
