The most important points in Donald Trump's post:

1) War with Iran is imminent

2) Britain is going to be involved in Trump's war on Iran

The last time I watched Korean TV was during the lockdown. It seems to work well for me when I am stuck indoors. Calm, complex, unfamiliar.

It is rare for something shot in Manchester to feel absolutely Hooklandian, but Small Prophets is a rare thing - an esoteric TV comedy that grows the heart. Mackenzie Crook is a genius. Small Prophets is television treasure.

So sorry. We feel like we all knew him from your stories about his playful antics.

N95 Mask With Outline of... @gonebabygone.bsky.social Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it.

Drawing of a cuneiform tablet that is arranged in a table.

The spreadsheet on this clay tablet, which is almost 4,000 years old, is organised into columns for furrowed area, grain produced, land not sown, and the field’s name.

we are all thinking of you this week

I am literally in awe at the power of this act. Can you imagine, the sound of the bagpipes through the tear gas as the police run away? 21 year old king.

Very sorry to hear this. The vet sounds kind and caring.

Ps he will not have built a moon city by 2036

I do find this post from Musk hard to process. He doesn't exactly say he just found out Mars is far away, but how else to interpret his explanation for the recent shift in focus? He seems to be saying 'in the light of this new information'. Bizarre.

I hope it was relaxing

I was thinking of it too

Pippa Crerar • @pippacrerar.bsky.social BREAKING: Morgan McSweeney quits as Keir Starmer's chief of staff amid fall-out from the Mandelson scandal

Don’t let the door hit you on the arse on the way out

McSweeny resigns. First of the gang to go

So sorry. What a hard thing to go through

Always

Thank you, also
