"A brand new CNN poll shows President Trump at an all time low in his approval rating... look at his net approval rating now with pure independents - it's negative 71 points! I mean, these are the deep depths of the ocean. You never see numbers like these. An 86 point shift away from the president!"

Dolly Parton’s foundation sends out books to kids in care every month. A symbol to them that they are not forgotten which gives them a gateway into reading. People who are successful often talk about helping others but rarely act, she quietly used her position to change the world for the better. RIP

Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

FT headline saying “SpaceX shares slide below IPO price” graphs in the background should show a vertiginous drop but are generic stock images

We have been told repeatedly that this is a poor climate to help foreigners, that no one wants to donate to this sort of thing anymore and we won’t get the money we need. Major donors have not stepped forward and we face a massive battle but we are NOT giving up on these guys. Please share 🙏

Aerial PARTIAL view of the anti racist, anti fascist crowd in Belfast right now. City Hall to the left for scale. This - this is the real Belfast. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Scott Hastings, a man of integrity, honesty and empathy. A player who never gave below his maximum. There is nothing more you can ask as a legacy. RIP

I’ve donated-how about you? Some dickheads threatening to kill an ultra runner have made her pull out of the race making it more difficult to raise money to look after vulnerable women.

Isn’t there a case for unions taking action here? No one should be forced to risk this sort of material for work purposes?

I have a hunch that if you or I were running a website doing this the "urgent contact" would involve door rams and handcuffs so I struggle to see why it can't be slightly more pugnacious than this.

Folks who still post on X, is this finally a red line for you? If not, then you seem to have no moral objections to using a CSAM site.

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

Got a ConEd alert telling me to use less energy during the heat wave and this is all I can think about.

It's so cool that cities are like "oweeease only turn your AC on if you're actively dying and don't go below 79

@rugbypass.bsky.social seems to be a problem logging in to watch the England game. Boring as it was the carrot I’d dangled to get the teenager to do their homework.

Shit things happening are what I like to call “future anecdotes” while they’re happening. It’s (nearly) all funny when you look back at it. Actually telling the scary big boss the truth gets you further than kissing their arse (and if it doesn’t work-change jobs because they’re a douche).

We’ve had similar cold calls. We operate in a space where you could squint at a lot of what we do and claim it’s R&D but if you follow HMRC guidelines it’s clear that we wouldn’t qualify (or on v. shaky ground). Our accountant “I’m 100% sure you’d get the money, 99% sure they’ll ask for it back”
