There is no circumstance in this or in any other universe in which Hamas could kill 24 Israelis and the media would reduce it to Hamas "testing" the ceasefire

Most universities are on a knife edge and subsidising everything from foreign student fees are the only thing holding them together. If this goes through it’s over for half the universities in England

Reform's former Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, a 10.5 year jail term for taking bribes from the Kremlin.

Cosied up to authoritarian powers & traded principles for payoffs. Reform's leadership laughably claimed they barely knew Gill.

Will all this be on tomorrow's front pages?

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television.

I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime
@Acyn Mamdani: I have spoken about the Israeli government committing genocide and our government funding it and I shared about the concern that New Yorkers of wanting their tax dollars to go to the benefit of New Yorkers and what we see right now we are in the ninth consecutive year of children being homeless…

For those of you in the UK, especially if you are a UK citizen, can you please take part in the consultation on changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain (Settlement) that were just proposed by the UK government. We need as many people as possible to reject these proposals. www.gov.uk/government/c...
Earned settlement
The government is consulting on how the current settlement system should be reformed and how those reforms should be implemented.

"the Saudis can't bribe people any more because they spent all their money on sports teams and deeply stupid infrastructure projects they'll never finish" is a plot twist I didn't see coming, I'll be honest

When I go to a gig, I don’t want to sing along. I don’t want to listen to anybody else sing along either. I have paid money to listen to the people on stage. Just them.
Is that controversial? Killjoy curmudgeonly?

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

Do you think I like walking around with my wife on my head?

A shrunken Moominmamma sits in her handbag. Moominpappa looks down at her, disconsolately Moominpappa: COULDN’T YOU COME OUT FOR A WALK, DEAR? Moominmamma: DONT LIKE THE IDEA OF PEOPLE SEEING ME NOW THAT I AM SO SMALL. Moominmamma sits in Moominpappa‘s top hat. Behind them, Mrs Fillyjonk enters the panel. Moominpappa: DO YOU THINK I LIKE WALKING AROUND WITH MY WIFE ON MY HEAD? Moominmamma: QUICK! LET ME INTO YOUR HAT MRS FILLYJONK…

I didn’t think the larger publishers would join in. Then I thought there would inevitably be a fudge compromise. Happy to have been wrong (so far). Impressive what can happen when authors act collectively.

Burgess Meredith, born today in 1907

Of “Time Enough at Last”, he said: “I don’t think I’ve ever done any other project that people talk to me more about than that show. .. It’s gotten to the point where when they first approach me, I almost know what they’re going to say.”
