The Governor’s Office wishes to address recent rumours and misinformation circulating online regarding Jonathan, the world’s oldest living tortoise. We can confirm that Jonathan is alive and well, continuing to enjoy his peaceful life on St Helena.

Thailand deserves better than the flood of bottom-tier tourists who treat my country like their personal playground, looking down on Thai people as if their passport alone makes them superior when in reality, it just makes you a guest who lacks basic human decency.

George Michael passed away in his sleep from cardiac arrest at the age of 53 in 2026. Thanks to him, hundreds of thousands of people are still alive today. What many don’t know is that George secretly helped a lot of people in need throughout his life. After his death, it was revealed that he had spent millions to support orphans, the homeless, the sick, and people from other countries in need. His donations helped create a world where people with HIV can live healthy lives without facing discrimination. He once gave £25,000 to a woman he didn’t know, who was crying in a bar because of a debt. He wrote a check and asked the waitress to give it to her after he left. He also gave £5,000 to a medical student who was struggling to pay for her studies. He donated all the money from his song ‘Jesus’ to charities that help children in need. A truly great man, not just a great artist.

Following the news and the difficult decision made by F1, FIA and the promoters, I truly hope that this conflict comes to an end as soon as possible and that everyone stays safe. Racing in the Middle East is always special and I hope we can return to the region as soon as circumstances allow.

my bro who divorced 2 weeks ago told me this: “all of us are selective sinners. we choose the sin we are comfortable with, and judge others that commit the ones we are not comfortable with.”

Today I used the Emirates terminal in Dubai. Contrary to the videos circulating on social media, there was hardly any congestion. Check-in was extremely smooth and swift, and the flight departed on time. The aircraft itself was full. Just a reminder: don’t believe everything you see on social media. Verify before forming an opinion.

Napoleon Bonaparte was unusually meticulous about personal hygiene for his era. He maintained a strict daily routine of shaving, brushing and picking his teeth, taking long baths, changing his clothes, and applying cologne with a distinctive blend of rosemary and citrus.

@Finnairteam_ You need to follow me for a DM

@Finnair @flightradar24 Dear @Finnair given the situation why do you not transfer or re-schedule flights affected by the war instead of claiming war is not covered under travel insurance? It feels like you are making money from a situation. All other airlines assisted to refund or reschedule.
