speaking as glibly as Beavis & Butthead. does T***p even grasp the profound significance of what he has set in motion in the Middle East? this person whose most essential self is riding in a golf cart fatly, cheating at the profoundly insignificant game of leisure golf when he assumes no one is looking.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack. "The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."

Dirty Business review – if this doesn’t incite righteous anger over our filthy water then nothing will - @guardian
Couldn’t have said it better ourselves. 📺 🙌
The first episode of @Channel4’s Dirty Business is a hard-hitting, must-watch that will leave you feeling sick with anger.
This isn’t just drama. It’s the reality facing our waterways.
Haven’t watched it yet? Catch up now on More4.

Hope this series does for water what the Post Office drama did for Horizon victims.
The scandal of privatised water is even bigger because it affects everyone.
The common theme is clear: powerful corporate entities are exploiting us all.
Time to bring water back into public ownership.

amazing to think we likely won't see another simultaneous lent, chinese new year, ramadan and disgraced member of the british royal family being arrested in our lifetime

Feels like this is the BBC sending a signal to artists and creatives all across the country that (for the time being) they have our back in the battle against AI slop. Fantastic stuff.
Back the BBC 📺📻📡📱🔴@back_the_BBC
The opening titles to the BBC's coverage of the #WinterOlympics isn't computer or hand drawn - it's actually a stop motion animation using models and real flames #BBColympics #MilanCortina2026

Somehow, at some point in the last few years it has become acceptable to publicly mock trans people. This isn’t about vulnerable women’s spaces, or women’s sport, it’s about delighting in declaring your disgust for a tiny minority of other humans and it has to stop.

Zohran Mamdani’s message to Donald Trump after his historic NYC mayoral win:
“New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant. So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us.”

Tikka Masala was invented in Glasgow, battered and fried fish was brought here and by Jewish immigrants from the Iberian peninsula, and we've been getting spices from India since before we knew that the Americas - where potatoes come from - existed. Racism rots your brain.

I’ve never had curry or a kabab and don’t intend to. British food is the best. English breakfasts, Sunday roasts, fish and chips, pies, pasties, scones. Also, our national dish isn’t a chicken tikka masala - we only think that because a Labour MP said it decades ago to push multiculturalism.

She has always been like this. She doesn't stand for anything or represent anything. She's a 35 year old woman who's brand is literally just "I'm just an awkward little white girl" but that's not even a brand she buys into or believes in. It's just that's how she makes her bag.
simão@butchelektra
she "fights" for causes when she is the victim. she always did this and this is just one more example. she was anti ai because someone made a video of her. she is a feminist when people are misogynistic towards her. and then she calls women bitches in her music with ai videos

Jane Goodall had a remarkable ability to inspire us to connect with the natural wonders of our world, and her groundbreaking work on primates and the importance of conservation opened doors for generations of women in science. Michelle and I are thinking of all those who loved and admired her.

The doc shows Sgt Joe McIlvenny, the very person meant to uphold standards mocking rape survivors, degrading women, and joking about sexual violence while deciding who to jail or free
This is not rogue behaviour. It’s systemic rot and it starts at the top bbc.com/news/articles/…
