Bhattacharya and Makary are being incredibly irresponsible, but I guess being a right wing MAGA/MAHA guy requires you to peddle conspiracy nonsense 😢

This is England!

Leah Williamson, captain of Arsenal and England who was a mascot when Arsenal won their first European Cup and led us to our second, who is a two time European champion with England.

Oh captain, my captain.

Grateful as a viewer for the Women‘s Euro.
In an era of cynical promotion, a competition that needed no added hype or claims to be anything except what it was.
A tournament to determine European football champions, held in a country that made it easy for fans to attend.
Leaner often better.

They were inspirational. I have endless admiration for their resilience, teamsmanship and ability to perform under the toughest circumstances. Jess Carter in particular deserves two medals.

But a key point of the time machine is that Doc says "I figured if you're gonna make a time machine you might as well do it with some style". A Cybertruck could never be considered stylish.

I genuinely can't understand how people his age can be so far right. They will have had schoolmates of all ethnic backgrounds and cannot possibly have disliked them all. It must be some psychological illness.

Exactly this. I cannot understand how Western countries can continue to support the Israeli government in any way

A sad day for the UK, a sad day for music. Ozzy will always be a giant of rock.

Agreed 100%. Automated customer service chatbots are appalling things.

It's a strange situation. I now have two current accounts. One from an internet only provider and who is committed to keeping branches open. I'm trying to make the best of both worlds.

Agreed but the banks will label it as "For your convenience we have closed this branch".

This is excellent news. It opens our country to talented young European who may contribute to our GDP if they decide to work here in the future and will spend their money here in the meantime.

And the bank will say that in closing their branches they're responding to their customers' feedback, wants and needs. Which is bollocks.

Is he still doing his paid online appointments? I seem to recall his services were popular with the far right conspiracy cranks.

Since I left Twitter 10 months ago I'd forgotten all about cranks like Cartland. I shall watch with interest whether he appeals. In my experience people appeal favourable rulings swiftly rather than leave until the last minute.

It would be great news if Erasmus was available to UK students again. I studied in France in the mid 1990s as part of the programme and it was a fantastic experience. It upsets me that the opportunity I had is no longer available to my son.

I wonder which far right crank will get the Twitter CEO job.

Film plot: The richest man in the world has an intelligent robot that keeps getting things 'wrong'. He repeatedly tweaks its programming until it becomes a hardened Nazi.

I'm really relieved to see you say that Rob. I hate the conspiracy theory nonsense that has enveloped society. Whether one agrees with trump or not, he clearly won the election.

Sam is spot on. I work in London and get to see its beauty, vibrancy and soul every day. It is truly the greatest city in the world. And Paris is not far behind.

In these divided times can we all agree that Livramento, Anderson and Elliot should all be in the next senior squad?

I'm really glad to tweets about this on Bluesky. We need more chat about sport, holidays and pets. But leaving that aside, many congratulations to England.

Presumably reform are unhappy about Labour threatening their monopoly of Tommy Robinson support.

Can you get yourself a balustrade next?

Huge if true.

"Non partisan independent thinkers" eh? They're going to put their backs out with a reach like that.

Now that Elon doesn't like Trump I'm assuming he'll turn up on here soon. Does anyone know if he has an account yet?

Absolutely. Those are very lovely dogs indeed.

Excellent work there. More of that please.
