It’s just lovely they did that without a warning after I’ve just flown out to Asia.
Is the Home Office in their right mind to change rules like that without anytime for its own citizens to adjust to them?
Honestly.

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

If you’re preparing to interview a known liar, the very least you could do is swot up on the very stuff he is most likely to tell lies about.

If Matt Goodwin is serious about his concerns that women are delaying motherhood, he should demand:

- Better employment security for women
- Better maternity rights
- Better maternity pay
- Free or at least affordable childcare
- Equal pay for women
- Equal pensions for women

Imagine thinking, at this point in 2026 with all that's happening in the world, that it would be better if the PM didn't go to the Munich security conference. (tbf to @saschaosullivan.bsky.social she's reporting the story, not sharing an opinion.)

Anything but solving the *actual* problems that we’ve got.

My county council. Bunch of incompetents

Ukrposhta has released a new stamp that pays tribute to Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych and his helmet of remembrance at the Milan/Cortina Olympic Games.

The image takes us back to the start of the war when Ukrainian soldiers refused to abandon Zmiinyi (Snake) Island.

I have the same concern for junior software developers in my field

Death cult updates coming thick and fast

If Moderna is no longer bringing vaccine trials for Epstein-Barr virus (good evidence that EB causes Multiple Sclerosis), herpes, and shingles because of Trump appointees, I want prison time for those appointees.

This might be dooming millions to disease they don’t have to experience.

I was born and raised in Gorton and Denton, and I absolutely guarantee you Reform won't put it first.

They won't even put Britain first.

They'll put Russia first. We LITERALLY jailed one of them for doing that.

Ratcliffe is, quite obviously, factually, morally & intellectually wrong about immigration. But his racist comments will be 'both-sided' everywhere because people who simply don't like seeing non-white faces aren't ashamed to say so anymore.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Holy crap, the sun is out and I can see blue sky. Don’t everyone look, you might scare it off

Toby Young, Matthew Elliott, Daniel Moylan, Claire Fox, Daniel Hannan, Michael Gove, Therese Coffey (a Brexit convert), Paul Goodman, John Moynihan, Ruth Lea, Stewart Jackson, Michael Hintze, Charles Moore, David Frost, Theo Agnew; & now John Redwood.

Rewarded for the Brexit calamity with peerages.

"Napoleon achieved his success by ignoring logistics" is a bold take when you consider that such successes include losing his entire army in Egypt due to logistics, losing his entire army in Russia due to logistics, turning the Peninsular War into a nightmare by replacing logistics with theft...

I love how Americans just straight up don’t know that the rest of the world has been comfortably listening to foreign music in languages we don’t all speak for like 70 years

Isabel Oakeshott, the Mitford to Tice's Mosley, throws scoffing potshots at a principled Welsh university from her Dubai den, where she is an immigrant, but probably prefers to think of herself as an 'expat'.

The worst of people.

Calling out fascism is not threatening to anyone but fascists.

That's way less than the percentage in the Trump administration.

"The most extraordinary and worrying thing of what is going on in the United States is the scale of normalization that is happening, in which the press is absolutely a structural part of this," says @carolecadwalla.bsky.social, award-winning investigative journalist

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

It is so embarrassing that it has taken nearly a decade for a British minister to say this, a statement of the absolute bloody obvious

Man who doesn't turn up to do his job, tells a room full of retired people that working from home is bad.

There’s a solid majority of voters who loathe Reform, Farage, and their Trumpist vision for the UK. All the other parties need to do is not implode and/or alienate the people they need to vote tactically to keep out the populist right. And yet, here we are…

As AI enters the operating room, reports arise of botched surgeries and misidentified body parts Medical device makers have been rushing to add AI to their products. While proponents say the new technology will revolutionize medicine, regulators are receiving a rising number of claims of patient ...

this may be a radical take BUT I think we should proceed cautiously with the rushed integration of half-cooked automation into problematic business sectors in a broadly-corrupt country without functional regulatory oversight

Trump Allies Near ‘Total Victory’ in Wiping Out U.S. Climate Regulation

It’s a death cult.

The media should be PRAISING these athletes who know and understand the importance of public health. These articles should be about how they are setting an example for EVERYONE. And how we should all take their lead.

Instead their positioning is: “look at these fucking weirdos”

DinoCon with a more prompt response to academics complicit in sexual abuse than uh, the entirety of academia.
