@Blaszczaki @Hart_Brigade Huh what did Mexico do?!

@Hart_Brigade Heroyam slava from Scotland!

Каливан до війни працював у парку розваг і допомагав тваринам. Сьогодні — разом із побратимами нищить техніку та позиції ворога на Південно-Слобожанському напрямку. «Радує те, що я дізнався правду», — каже він.

Jon Stewart on the disconnect between Trump excusing J6 protesters and MAGA condemning Renee Good

@PotatoMcWhiskey makes a lot more sense than adjacency from an aqueduct!

I made my first mod for Civ 6 - Industrial zones get adjacency from Harbors, kinda neat, much help from the modding community xoxox

@10Yetis Gutted to read this Andy. I hope all the team can find new roles super quick! You've livened many a morning for me with your posts on this site. Wishing you well!

After nearly 20 years of banging on about the good things 10 Yetis does, it is only fair that I am honest about the bad stuff to. Fuck me, we had a blast. Turns out I am ok at PR & marketing but absolutely terrible at running a business. Turns phone off, Goes to play golf with my mates for the day. Start again on Monday, working for the legends that are @SamWalkerPR & @BatCat1961 Love you all, mostly, Andy 47, Capricorn

@FrancisDearnley @EditorsUK @Telegraph @DomNicholls Congratulations! Very well deserved - you two are amazing - and a great legacy for David. I still imagine his voice introducing the podcast from time to time.

Thank you @EditorsUK for naming @Telegraph's 'Ukraine: The Latest' their 'Podcast of the Year.' It was a happy but bittersweet moment, as @DomNicholls and I felt someone was missing up there on stage. David, wherever you are: this one's for you.

who europeans would vote for in america’s presidential election, by country:

@bridges_tom I left home at the same time as you this morning to get to a meeting by train. But I'm now in Paris! I used to work in the North and went everywhere by car for meetings. I would have taken train if it was feasible. Infrastructure is so underfunded 😞

Already on 2nd coffee. A v early start. I left the house at 5:45am - feels extreme to make a 10am meeting 82 miles away. A 38 minute wait between trains at Leeds. Because of poor frequencies, clunky connections & long waits are a feature of rail journeys in the north & midlands

Early start for the Leeds to Nottingham train. This service connects the West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and East Midlands conurbations which have a combined population of £6.3m and 3 core cities along a 70 mile corridor. The journey time is around two hours. Ave speed: 36mph 🧵

@Shayan86 I think this 'poll' just goes to illustrate how much X and Elon now caters and appeals to a right-leaning user base. If it was possible to filter this by user location you can benchmark against official polls to use as a measure for the X user base vs general population.

I particularly like the fact he's tweeted this as breaking news.

After @EdwardJDavey's successful election campaign, our huge cohort of new MPs arrive for their induction session

And just like that… The Daily Mail became a supporter and enabler of economic migrants.

The timing of the election might cause problems for some, esp students coming to the end of term or those who have holidays booked (whoever they intend to vote for). The solution is to apply for a postal vote. Here’s the link to do so. Please share. gov.uk/apply-postal-v…

@EurostarUK is there an ongoing issue with joining Club Eurostar? I've tried several times in recent months on different browsers and machine and always get an error message

It's the day after the Met Gala and everything is quiet… except the online conversation. We found the top mentioned celebrities from last night's event: #1 Jennie Kim @blackpink #2 Ariana Grande #3 Felix Yongbok Lee @stray_kids ` #metgala #straykids #blackpink #arianagrande

New paper from Norway: Banning smartphones in school - significantly decreased doctors visits for psychological symptoms and diseases among girls - reduced bullying among both genders - improved girls’ GPA and attendance rates - largest effect sizes were among the poorest kids

The Indian government has issued executive orders requiring X to act on specific accounts and posts, subject to potential penalties including significant fines and imprisonment.  In compliance with the orders, we will withhold these accounts and posts in India alone; however, we disagree with these actions and maintain that freedom of expression should extend to these posts. Consistent with our position, a writ appeal challenging the Indian government's blocking orders remains pending. We have also provided the impacted users with notice of these actions in accordance with our policies. Due to legal restrictions, we are unable to publish the executive orders, but we believe that making them public is essential for transparency. This lack of disclosure can lead to a lack of accountability and arbitrary decision-making.

This is very good

@WalkerMarcus sorry for your loss Marcus. praying for you and the family but also giving thanks for a life well lived and that you got to have one last Christmas and birthday with your dad.

My father, Christopher Walker, died at 6am this morning. Here is my favourite picture of us, from when we graduated together, as he hadn’t taken his MA before. May he rest in peace, and rise in glory.
