Melvyn Bragg decides to step down from presenting In Our Time After 26 years on the programme, the legendary presenter bids farewell to the series

A great legacy in my view. Public service broadcasting, bringing ideas and knowledge to millions, free to hear and universally available. Year in, year out. Only the BBC would enable this.

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at whatโ€™s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trumpโ€™s anti-diversity executive order.

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

It's going to be wild, the drumbeat of crimes the J6 pardonees will be committing in the next few years. Reporters need to be on top of this.

Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, grifting and lying trump will be pardoning January 6th attackers today, on inauguration day.

A disgusting skidmark for the office of the President, and for America as a whole. Just awful.

Can you read cursive? It's a superpower the National Archives is looking for. The National Archives looking for volunteers with an increasingly rare skill: Reading cursive.

More than 200 years worth of U.S. documents are in need of transcribing (or at least classifying) and the vast majority of them are handwritten in cursive โ€“ requiring people who know the flowing, looped form of penmanship. www.yahoo.com/news/read-cu...

Either they are military or law enforcement related or they are test flights for drone delivery services or for Google Earth surveillance. Of course the authorities know. I doubt every much they are either foreign or aliens.

Stop worrying that the pages aren't good enough.

If they aren't good enough, you'll make them good enough when you edit. Sometimes, you have to see a thing on the page before you know exactly what it is supposed to be.

The rights words often only come after the wrong ones.

They actually got a computer program to deny many of those claims.

However, it doesnโ€™t take hero worship to realise that the death of one high ranking and visible individual is inevitably viewed with more sympathy than the deaths of a thousand faceless ones his actions have caused.

If I see bigots in a bar I avoid them.

If the whole bar is bigots, I am in the wrong bar.

Gregg Wallace says accusations against him come from 'middle-class women of a certain age' Gregg Wallace has responded to the mounting allegations against him in a defiant video posted online, saying the accusations come from "middle-class women of a certain age".

And he thinks this is going to play well for him?

I have ALWAYS loathed the condescending creep.

One of many sad things is that many of us were overwhelmingly just seeing what we wanted to see.
