This is quite extraordinary. I don't think I have heard a more coherent, articulate and accurate deconstruction & demolition of Nigel Farage's ReformUK, Tory & Restore policy than this. In under 85 seconds! @rafaelbehr.bsky.social is on here folks and worth a follow.

Ah, the news this morning are a bundle of joy again. Romanian cartoonist Laur Raboj must have read them, too. He just updated his cartoon.
laur_raboj_doodles on Instagram 

The cartoon shows a black, pencilled timeline. Until 2019, it's a straight horizontal line with short, vertical one for every year. The years 2020-2025 are one scribbled ball together. 2026 is another scribbled ball, just much larger.

“This is the first time the United States has declined to invite in OSCE monitors since they began observing US elections. The OSCE Parliamentary Assembly president…said that the Trump administration’s decision ‘represents a significant departure from an established democratic practice.’”

I'll remember Esther Rantzen for an interview printed in a magazine I read in the dentist's. She was talking about grief and loneliness after the death of her husband. Her comment that she had plenty of people to do something with but now had no-one to do nothing with struck me as really profound.

Mamdani on what he was thinking about while he stared off into space as Trump ranted and raved next: "In that moment, I'm just thinking about 12,000 homes, 30,000 jobs, largest housing development since the early 1970s... we also spoke about Haitian NYers... they're a part of the fabric of the city"

Kevin Rowland and Dexy's Midnight Runners are very unhappy that Nigel Farage used their music at the Reform party conference.
Tweet from the official Dexy's Midnight Runners account

I, Kevin Rowland (the son of Irish immigrants) and the main songwriter of ‘Come On Eileen,’ am disgusted to learn that Nigel Farage has used our song to make his entrance for his party conference. Myself, and all of Dexys are passionately against Farage’s politics.

For the 1999 solar eclipse, my dad taped the living room curtains shut, put a piece of cardboard in the middle with a tiny hole, and stuck paper up on the opposite wall. The room was a giant pinhole camera. We traced the outline of the eclipsing sun on the paper as the sun moved across the wall.

This cruelty has no need but cruelty. Haiti remains deeply dangerous; a country in the throes of anarchy. Hundreds of thousands of people are SAFE. They are safe. They are safe here and the nation has decided to make them unsafe. We are embarking on a tragedy and we cannot look away. We cannot.

Reform-led Kent County Council's amended its constitution. Every full meeting has to end with the national anthem. Nobody specified how much of it councillors actually had to sing. The Greens noticed. So when the first meeting closed, they sang all 6 verses. While Reform was already packing up. 😂

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.

It’s a damn disgrace that an innocent man who represented America in multiple Olympics and did nothing wrong was arrested and charged with a federal crime by hack Jeanine Pirro solely because Trump doesn’t want to admit he fucked up the pool with his usual incompetence.
