east stand wasn't finished maybe? I should know as i was there in the Whitehall Tavern when the news filtered through. #COYS

was there that evening. bitterly cold night iirc.

A thunderstorm at sunset over Smith Rock State Park, summer of 2025.

One of the most exciting sunsets I've captured. A thunderstorm came rolling in just as the clouds started to change color. Smith Rock State Park in Oregon.

This does feel like a major crossing of the Rubicon – the world's best-funded and in many ways most powerful public health agency is now actively pushing disinformation.

I know there's a *lot* going on to care about at the moment, but this one really is significant, and matters well beyond the US.

there are a few tenuous links on google. probably the korean versions of teamtalk or football insider.

It's Ashes eve. What's your plan?
In the UK, TV coverage is on TNT, looking on in envy at Australia's free to air.
BBC five live sports extra has live commentary, including highlights throughout Friday day time.
And for those of you in Perth, you lucky things!

I realise this is short notice but would anyone like my spare ticket to come and see noted film director Paul Thomas Anderson and reasonably well-known actor Leonardo DiCaprio in conversation tonight at the BFI? 8pm tonght. ❤️‍🔥

The UK isn’t a “soft touch” on asylum.

UK asylum seeker benefits are similar to European neighbours

No right to work before 12 months (it’s 6 months in France, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands)

UK settlement after 5 years (it’s 3 or 4 in Germany)

Let’s cut out the alarmist rhetoric.

Shabana Mahmood casually saying they're gonna take migrant's jewellery off them has got me thinking about that scene in Schindler's List where the Jewish family wrap family heirlooms in bread and swallow them.

What the fuck are we?

Does Shabbana not realise that eventually, given the direction of travel, she'll probably end up on one of Reform's target lists.

No idea who this is, but he does the same thing that Mahmood did on Kuenssberg: he is asked a question on refugees, *does not answer* and delivers his prepared talking points on ‘illegal immigration’ (a different subject!) instead. Journalists need to challenge this.

Racism rots your brain I guess

Honestly, this has to be such an exhausting way to live and must be so poisonous to your soul. All day, every day, scrabbling around for some inconsequential thing that has no impact on your life whatsoever to be mad about

Not the first to make this point. But there is a tyrant in charge of another country who is accused of being heavily linked to a paedophile sex ring - and supposed ‘patriots’ in this country are passionately willing him to take down our national broadcaster. Madness.

Labour casually doing monstrous shit. Despicable, horrifying party. They're supposed to be the lesser evil, but they keep finding ways to be worse. They've not realised that they won't appease te far right, ever.

They do think they can get away with it. Look at their treatment of people with disabilities and trans people already. That’s just the start. It’s fascism and far, far from what Labour is supposed to be. Tommy Robinson is endorsing the latest immigration plan for gods sake!

BBC bias? The Prescott memo falls well short of the standards of impartiality it demands The Prescott memo contained no research questions or objectives, method, sample, time frame or, crucially, analytical framework for examining output.

So, @bylinetimes.bsky.social have done great work investigating Prescott's background & history (he wrote that memo that caused so much trouble for the BBC).
Here's an analysis of the memo itself, in terms of just how valid the "research" was that went into it.

YouTube video by Refugee Council Refugees from 7 decades gather to commemorate 70 years of refugee in protection in the UK

"The era of permanent protection is over"

Is this Labour government really saying it was wrong in principle to let these refugees of the last 75 years to stay, settle and become British - and they believe that should NEVER happen again in principle or practice?

UK set to limit refugees to temporary stays Shabana Mahmood is expected to say the era of permanent protection for refugees is over, in major changes to the UK's asylum and immigration system.

This is as bad as anything proposed by Reform.

Leaving refugees in permanent limbo and unable to build a new life in the UK would be a complete abdication of our humanitarian responsibilities

Dr Assal Rad—

“This is not a “peace plan.” It’s OCCUPATION AND ETHNIC CLEANSING.

“And the media needs to call it what it is.”

A morbidly inclined sheep, who likes to hang around in graveyards, detests parties and owns original pressings of the entire classic run of Leonard Cohen LPs from 1967-1974.
