National Enquirer front page with a picture of a gaunt, clearly ill, Rock Hudson. The magazine promises ‘the real story - shocking reason he hid AIDS for a year - Linda Evans and Dynasty cast terrified - he kissed her on show. Note: HIV can’t be passed by kissing.

Photos of a gaunt Rock Hudson sparked tabloid gossip, confirmed by his publicist in July 1985.
Rock Hudson had AIDS.
President Ronald Reagan first mentioned AIDS publicly in September, two months later.
By this time 24,000 Americans had died.
Rock died 15 days later.

A studio portrait of a young Rock Hudson.

Rock Hudson was born on this day 100 years ago.
He was the epitome of the handsome, seemingly hetero, Hollywood star.
AIDS outed him and killed him.
He died in 1985, aged 59.
His death shocked the world. For many, he was the first person they knew of to die as a result of HIV.

Article 8 reforms planned And states that refuse to take back migrants will face sanctions

The home secretary is expected to outline reforms to the way article 8 of the human rights convention is interpreted by courts and tribunals. Article 8, which protects the right to private and family life, has been relied on by migrants challenging removal.

What the Russian opposition wants We aren’t asking for anything extravagant: We simply want Russia to be a normal country that cares about the dignity, rights and future of its people — just as European countries do.

Yulia Navalnaya: “the values enshrined in the European Convention on Human Rights served as a guiding light for movements fighting dictatorships around the world — including in Russia, inspiring Soviet dissidents”👇

This does does not indicate a great deal of confidence from the President.

From a constitutionalist perspective, it is fascinating how this plays out.

How would this matter actually take him down, if at all, when he has survived so many other political crises?

Will the United States body politic finally eject Trump? Or will a deft political survivor deftly survive again?

The golden age of diversity and democracy in Oz.

NYC continues to go down a dark path.

You can't even walk down the sidewalk without having to literally step around antisemitism.

A counter-claim here would be a last resort. The objective should be to extract BBC from litigation, not tie it in more messily and expensively.

A counterclaim would give Trump all the rights of a defendant as well as a plaintiff.

Would be a nightmare, given his litigation game playing.

Why the BBC should not counter-claim against Trump, whatever he calls them, unless as a last resort.

Final decision on fate of crumbling UK parliament delayed to 2030s It’s a fire-hazard that’s prone to tumbling masonry — but fear of a public backlash is again delaying repairs to the world famous building.

🚨🚨🚨 EXCLUSIVE by @estwebber.bsky.social and me

Final decision on restoration of parliament is set to be postponed **beyond the next general election**

MPs were due to vote this year on 4 options

Plan is now: pick 2 options, and start "preparatory work"

Final option may only emerge in early 2030s

Final decision on fate of crumbling UK parliament delayed to 2030s It’s a fire-hazard that’s prone to tumbling masonry — but fear of a public backlash is again delaying repairs to the world famous building.

EXCL:

Final decision on restoring the Palace of Westminster will be delayed until 2030s

MPs were expected to vote by the end of 2025 on a way forward for fixing the crumbling parliament, but that now won't happen

Every single media lawyer I have spoken with this weeks agree that the BBC is doing exactly the right thing in admitting a mistake without admitting liability.

Every evening the US bloggers take over the timeline, the daily heralds of worsening news.

And you wonder how the US polity will get through to the morning.

D.C. Circuit won't review Trump admin contempt appeal further, sending matter back to Boasberg The latest order over the Trump administration's actions sending flights to El Salvador on March 15.

The judge who oversaw the initial challenge to Trump’s attempt to use the Alien Enemies Act to quickly remove people from the country will soon have the authority to continue any contempt proceedings over whether the admin violated his first orders in the case on March 15.

I explain:

If Trump still sues the BBC, notwithstanding their apology, he is in a far less strong position than if the BBC had not apologised.

The apology was tactically a sensible, prudent move by the BBC whether Trump sues or not.

DOJ Issued Seizure Warrant to Starlink Over Satellite Internet Systems Used at Scam Compound A new US law enforcement initiative is aimed at crypto fraudsters targeting Americans—and now seeks to seize infrastructure it claims is crucial to notorious scam compounds.
