The first and last lesson of history is that it has always been a garbage time to be alive. Nostalgia is a fine thing to indulge by the fire with friends, but institutionalized nostalgia for a bygone era is a sign of arrested development.

When Trump rants about "free speech," what he really means is that he wants to censor anyone who points out his lies. European (and others) who publish factual information about hate groups to counteract their propaganda are being banned from entering the USA. In the US, he is attacking news orgs.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

London is becoming a cycling city. As we continue to expand London’s cycle network, the number of daily bike trips is soaring. Cycling has risen by more than 40% since 2019 to 1,500,000 trips every day.

President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally. He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough. Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. He was revered.

Apropos... 1) For all its challenges the BBC is the single most widely used source of news in the UK and is highly and broadly trusted across much of the political spectrum,. See e.g. Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism research here: reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/bbc-und... 1/3

The BBC is under scrutiny. Here’s what research tells about its role in the UK
The BBC is the most widely used source of news in the UK. It has lower reach among the young and the less formally educated.

No, you're not dreaming. Trump has gone and paid the better part of $100,000 for a car he's not yet driven, and which during the course of its production has been the subject of dozens of recalls for issues like seat-belt warning system malfunctions and unexpected speeding and lane changes.
