All respekt till tyske försvarsministern som inte lät USA's vicepresidents påhopp gå obemärkt förbi.

Tightening gun laws to prevent mass shootings? What a crazy idea.

First article I've had published since the great Bluesky migration, so if everyone could pretend to read and like it that would be great! This one's about a walk in NE Japan - an emblem of recovery in the wake of disaster. With photos by @marcuswestberg.bsky.social. www.ft.com/content/7f5f...

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

I love this.
A restaurant board sign that reads: “we are not all in the same boat. We are in the same storm. Some have yachts. Some have canoes. And some are drowning. Just be kind and help when you can.

Really recommend pitching these guys - a smart publication that clearly values good writing.

hard to exaggerate how nuts the engagement is on Bluesky compared to 𝕏. a vastly smaller user base (at least officially), but just look at these stats for one of the biggest newspapers on Earth. Musk has absolutely trashed the platform. folks, you are not locked in on 𝕏. not even a little.

Flying over the stunning #KafueNationalPark this morning - a wonderful reminder of our planet’s beauty and diversity… but also, unfortunately, of its harshness: after two years of drought, water levels are at an all-time low, despite a few recent showers adding a dash of green to the landscape.
