Gaza's deadliest days linked by a pattern of attacks on families Using exclusive new data, social media obituaries and satellite imagery, Sky News has tracked the killing of families in Gaza over the past 21 months.

Every person known to be killed by the IDF in Gaza since 2023. Mostly families, women and children. Probably, a lot more people are unknown and buried in the rubble of residential blocks. Putting numbers onto the news, and faces onto the numbers.

Was Zelenskyy making changes to Ukraine anti-corruption, so he could make payments to the Trump family without it being visible on official channels?

Seems like the most bizarre decision. Tho bizarre decisions coming out of the FIA seems like the norm these days.

Watched this last night. Robin's stuff is always hilarious or thoughtful. This is a little bit thoughtful and a lot hilarious.

Fraser, oh Fraser! "The UK is imperial, mostly!" NO! The UK is completely metric, starting 1965, apart from: Road sign distances=miles. Speed limits=mph. Draft beer/cider, and milk in returnable containers=pints. Champagne! No, not any other wine! Precious metals=troy ounce. This is a complete list!

Dream? Nightmare? Kill Kennedy, and you get LBJ. Kill Trump, and you get JDV. Would Vance be any better? Worse? If Donald was a genius (no, he's a spoilt toddler), you'd suspect he chose Vance specifically to stop himself getting assassinated. Obviously, lets not kill politicians, folks.

I'd never noticed before just how much JD Vance looks like Phil Mitchel from Eastenders, who used to hang around Cold War Steve's glorious collages.

Belly laugh!

But do people definitely know what they're clicking on? I knew zilch about his thing with lobsters til just now. But I actually don't know much about him at all. It mostly looks like a vaguely amusing cartoon with a bloke holding lobsters to me! Hard to be sure what your friends were thinking.

Polio was a huge threat. It isn't a big deal now, precisely because of vaccines. "At its peak in the 1940s and 1950s, polio would paralyse or kill over half a million people worldwide every year." The insanity continues.

Dear Cold War Steve, Thank you for making laugh out loud in difficult days. Keep up the good work.

Huge memory of driving my car, North Wales, May 92. Put on BBCR4. It's some kind of INSANE news programme, about the ceremonial execution of Prince Edward. Apparently, he isn't as good as the others. No idea what on earth is going on, but it is the best, funniest thing I have ever heard in my life.

Crazy times indeed. Anyway, where's Rory? I'm half tempted to set up a fake Rory BSky account with links to various disasters, and the repeated comment "Very good!" Obviously, he can have it back when he eventually turns up. If you're still posting on X, and not posting here, you are the problem.

Wow. Amazing stuff. A whole history of cracks laid on top of other cracks. Leaves you wondering how old these are. Clearly it's a new surface comared to something like the moon, etc. But how many millions of years is "new"?

I have a huge soft spot for Jimmy Carr, after seeing him in a tiny comedy club in Chester, way before he started turning up on TV. JC was the best comedian I have ever seen live. Edgy, yes, but hilarious. But he's wrong about Musk. Musk IS a nazi. I defer to Tom Holland from Rest is History on this.

Davis, Morales, etc! I knew one at prmary school, but not sure I've met one since.

Unfortunate to lose a profile built up over years, but Twitter is gone. Sadly, if you are still posting on Twitter, you are the problem.

Spot the American! :-D

If Pluto had been discovered by someone from any other country, Americans wouldn't get so touchy and weird about it! Pluto is great an all, but it isn't a planet. I defer to the great American Neil deGrasse Tyson on this.

Always good to see you here again. If and when you feel like it, go out and take some more photographs.

Correct, there was no audio. However the video wasn't the usual cut/splice with one side is throwing a punch. Significant preamble of them talking/not talking, and not much happening. Was he reacting to something said? If so, then that is completely innapropriate, and shows him in a very bad light.

I'm unfollowing you due to all the foxes. I don't like urban foxes. They're pretty, but there are too many of them, and they're basically big rats. Bye!

Seig Hail To The Chief.

We miss your glorious photographs of Wales, every day. Get well soon my photo friend. Man hugs.

What? I'm not sure you saw the same clip I saw. The MP didn't seem to react to anything. No audio, but it looked 100% unprovoked attack.

The strange thing about the video of the attack is how it appeared to be a fairly relaxed conversation. No build up, and then out of nowhere, the MP just attacked the other guy. No audio, but seemingly for no reason whatsoever. Can we have less aggressive/weird MPs please?

My current favourite band on the planet are playing tonight, Jazz Cafe, Camden, London. Then Oxford, Glasgow. Afro funk, played on real instruments. Watch this 12m video, you WILL dance, you WILL want tickets. Still available on Dice, just £19. See you there! This isn't my gig, I just love the band.

Gawd knows the short days and miserable weather are enough to make anyone sad. But we absolutely love your photographs, and selfishly want you to take a very short break from us. Thank you for my fantastic desktop wallpaper, and come back soon. Manly hugs!

If the sun suddenly stopped shining, or just vanished, how long would humans and life survive? I reckon deep caves and oceans would retain heat a while, so maybe a week? 2 weeks? Maybe a month? Natural disasters? Also, how long before the surface gets within a few degrees of absolute zero?
