I'm not always a fan of themed collections of photos as an article, but whoever put this one together has a great eye. Magnificent stuff. www.theguardian.com/society/2026/oc…

When he was on the cross, Jesus remembered one last he had forgotten to do, so yelled at his followers…

So basically five muppets with a couple of vans is enough to see the US withdraw bombers from Europe? If the USSR had known that, the Cold War might have turned out quite differently. www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmwyve1…

Kudos to the Guardian for this description
Who’s leading them?
Its leader is Daniel Thomas, better known as Danny Tommo, the right-hand-man of the far-right extremist, fraudster and violent criminal Stephen Yaxley-Lennon – who wants people to call him Tommy Robinson.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss (Apple edition) www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/…
Now, Schiller is 66 and clearly wanted to have some semblance of retirement. He can focus on philanthropy and spend more time with family. But there’s a bit more to the story, I’m told. Ternus and services chief Eddy Cue want to make even more money from the App Store and figure out ways to raise margins and squeeze additional recurring revenue from the platform. Schiller, on the other hand, seems to believe that such moves will only further irk developers and governments. While there was no internal blowup or anything like that, it’s something he wanted no part of.

That moment when your readers' poll somewhat undermines your headline.
Headline: How finance redeemed itself. And what tech, the new black sheep, can learn from it. Poll results. Question: "Which industry inspires more confidence?"

Finance - 18%
Tech - 11%
Neither - 77%
