I'm imagine she only said it was in the sea because it is her 'flagship' policy. If it had been her 'foremost' policy she'd have guessed it was golf course-based instead and that's why it was an iron dome

I recently happened upon these Q Sleevenotes inside my 1987 cd copy of Revolver. A brilliant idea from Q magazine, beautifully written by Paul du Noyer. #Beatles

A message to the people in #70Up: we have grown up together, and I’ve always watched with fascination, but the current series fills me with such unspeakable joy and grief at the same time. Thank you. A true epic. I salute you x

Why aren't all the journalists there laughing? You're supposed to be the most cynical, hard-to-impress bastards in the world. If you're not laughing, we know you're not really a journalist

Tonight's soundtrack. This week, more than most, people who brought joy die... thousands of people post clips of them with Muppets and you realise the world can be sadder and yet still filled with joy at the same time

@markfrost.bsky.social Just watching Twin Peaks again - but this time with my boys. Its a delight to see how much they are loving it (and reminds me of exactly where i was when i first saw it). They are convinced Donna killed Laura. I'm loving watching them watching it, so thank you. #damnfine

A meme screenshot comparing two styles of event flyers. At the top, white text on a black background says: “Hey if this is your flyer, I’m not going, I’m not donating, I’m not sharing. Don’t ask me 🤙”. Below are two side-by-side example flyers. On the left is a brightly colored, cluttered, AI-generated-looking flyer with fireworks and confetti, with large text reading: “ALL CHATGPT FLYERS LOOK THE SAME! Especially with this font!” On the right is a dark blue and orange parody flyer packed with chaotic text and exaggerated design elements, headlined: “YOUR FLYER LOOKS LIKE GARBAGE.” The meme criticizes generic AI-made promotional designs and overly cluttered flyers.

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it. Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22
long stretch of worked roman stone on Hadrian's Wall.

Here she is in 2026! This neatly bobbed, elegantly coutured lady in her 60s, steps forward in the manner of someone who might just as easily address an international conference held to improve the efficacy of PPE rollouts in future pandemics. And then she sings: “It’s a fine day/People open windows”

Sobering to think that we would have joined a reckless war in the middle east over the weekend had Badenoch or Farage been PM. And we would be refusing to embrace an energy transition away from reliance on a deeply unstable region. Starmer's sobriety definitely an asset in the last few days.

I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC. The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.
