The RNLI is the closest you will ever get to actual Batman. When rescue is visibly, viscerally, obviously impossible; when the water is a smothering, thundering black wall and the wind is screaming straight from Hell; when you are absolutely going to die: someone’s hand pulls you out and you don’t.

“The trouble with you, Spode, is that just because you have succeeded in inducing a handful of half-wits to disfigure the London scene by going about in black shorts, you think you’re someone. You hear them shouting “Heil, Spode!” and you imagine it is the Voice of the People.” Bertie Wooster

"Die AfD hat zu viele Anhänger, es wäre undemokratisch, sie zu verbieten, auch wenn sie verfassungsfeindlich ist!" Die Demokratie und das Grundgesetz soll alle Menschen schützen. Nicht nur diejenigen, die Verfassungsfeinde wählen wollen.

The ECA Graduate Show today was wonderful. It's open tomorrow too (Sunday). Hours of inspiration and trained ability and genuine human intent.

Bavarian rules: The kids are in bed sick with fever and repeated vomiting due to the virus that's going around. That's manageable. But the school demands a doctor's note and the doctor demands that the kids visit the doctor today to get that note.

Someone has replaced Munich's missing 18th invader. But the Flash Invader app doesn't recognise it.

We may well recognise the role of disillusionment, anxiety, anger and despair in building support for fascist movements of the past but for obvious reasons we do not now look kindly on the people who made that choice

The UK does not have a "migrant crisis" or a "small boat crisis". It has a racism crisis, and it has been deliberately created.

Scotland's First Minister should not be cosying up to a convicted criminal who's actively working to undermine democracy and human rights around the world. It's time political leaders started standing up for our values, instead of trying to appease extremists like Donald Trump.

Oh man I just find this deeply & utterly incomprehensible. Reading aloud to my children was a top-three life experience for me. I was gutted when they got old enough & no longer wanted it. I still miss it. It is both intensely pleasurable & easily the best thing you can do for your kids.

Most parents don’t enjoy reading to their children, survey suggests

Report from Nielsen and HarperCollins shows that parents see reading as a literacy skill, rather than something to encourage their children to love

Labour is upping the ante on anti-migrant politics just to learn that Farage & the Tories can always, always go further than them. It’s real people who are caught in the crossfire of politicians trying to outdo each other on toughness. How we treat people matters. #r4today

I don't think people realize how certain a CDU/AFD coalition is if nothing changes. It's not certain which party will lead that coalition. I don't think people realize how catastrophic that will be.

Merz ist vollständig im orwellschen Neusprech angekommen. Merz jetzt: "Wir werden mit der AfD nicht zusammenarbeiten. Vorher nicht, nachher nicht, niemals.“ Sagt einer, der letzte Woche wahnhaft mit Ansage und Anlauf mit der AfD die Republik erpressen wollte und dessen Partei 1:1 wie die AfD klingt.

Illustration: Merz mit vorgehaltener Pistole auf eine nicht im Bild sichtbare Person zielend. Er sagt: Das ist doch keine Erpressung. Entweder Sie tun, was ich sage oder ich drücke ab. Es ist Ihre Entscheidung. Textzeile: Das Demokratieverständnis des Herrn Merz

Kolumne: Das Narrativ vom »gefährlichen Ausländer« gehört zum Markenkern der AfD. Sie hat es mit langem Atem strategisch in den Mainstream eingeschleust und die Union überlistet: mit gezielter Realitätsverzerrung. #Merz #Verfuegbarkeitsheuristik 1/2

Aber gut, dass Friedrich Merz sein Versprechen, nicht mit den Faschisten zusammenarbeiten, schon vor der Wahl gebrochen hat und nicht erst danach. Dann wissen die Wähler wenigstens, dass sie durch die Wahl der CDU auch die AfD bekommen könnten.

Kleiner Crashkurs in politischer Psychologie: Wenn etablierte Parteien AfD-Positionen kopieren, um Wähler "zurückzuholen", passiert genau das Gegenteil. Warum? Menschen bevorzugen bei ideologischen Positionen das Original. Die Sozialpsychologie nennt das den "Authentizitätseffekt": 🧵 1/5

Yet another German election in which regular parties try to get votes back from the single-issue (racist anti- immigration) party by trying to be more racist and saying they too worry about that single issue. The regular parties are then surprised that the single issue party gets yet more votes.

Yes to this. A youth mobility scheme would give opportunities back to young Brits, most of whom would've been too young to vote in the referendum in the first place.
