Behind this photo is my story a journey of loss, struggles, resilience and hope. I've chosen to turn my pain into purpose by sharing my experiences to raise awareness, inspire others and remind anyone struggling that they're not alone.

New word: CLICKWALL. (n) The opposite of clickbait. A headline so unappealing, promising so little reward even by the standards of these things, that it is physically impossible to tap the link to the article.

This aired just the once in 1998 on the live SNL show for which McKay wrote it. It was effectively banned as it never aired again. I wonder why. MEDIA-OPOLY

Police injured, vehicles damaged as anti-migrant mob storms Portsmouth. It was a carefully organised event, a mob blocked roads and a stand off with police lasted until about 4am today. Two days ago 500 masked, black-clad men blocked access to Dover. Why no arrests? www.lbc.co.uk/article

I wonder if that might lead to increased disappointment if it's just more of the same. I'm probably (definitely) in the minority but I haven't enjoyed GTA since 3 really so it's hard for me to grasp the excitement for this one

Hi @andyburnham.bsky.social the daughter of a Holocaust survivor has been arrested because of a policy Starmer and Cooper rolled out which Labour Baron Hain said in the House of Lords, was shameful, and the UK's High Court initially said was 'unlawful' She says, "It's not what my parents died for"

My beef with Morrissey runs all the way back to 1986 when he said this about Black artists. Nineteen Eighty Six, while the Smiths were still active. It’s not a “later phenomenon” don’t try and lie to me www.standard.co.uk/culture/musi...
1986 — "Reggae, for example, is to me the most racist music in the entire world. It's an absolute total glorification of black supremacy... I don't have very cast iron opinions on black music other than black modern music which I detest. I detest Stevie Wonder. I think Diana Ross is awful. I hate all those records in the Top 40 - Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston. I think they're vile in the extreme... Obviously to get on Top Of The Pops these days, one has to be, by law, black," he told Melody Maker.

If they missed it in realtime, or whatever the window is they can't go back after the fact to disallow it though. So while it's technically correct that it shouldn't have stood, there's nothing they can actually do within the laws of the game to change that afaik.

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:
Jill Tucker

If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7

And at the watch party you will ask the organizer if he's from Cape Verde. He will say yes, from Praia. And you'll say oh! I lived there for two years. I was a teacher. And he will ask, "What's your name?" You will tell him and he will say,
"You were my teacher."
CABO VERDE
11:43 AM • 6/25/26 • 92K ViewsJill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h
And across 30+ years and 6,000 miles you will hug a now man who tried to find you and remembered the songs you taught him and his classmates and he will apologize for how badly behaved they all were. And you will laugh and try not to cry and gape in wonder at at this crazy world.

Jill Tucker
@jilltucker
X.com
You will remember how much you love the World Cup. And what the Peace Corps meant to you. What those students, 40 to a class with no glass on the windows, meant to you.
11:43 AM • 6/25/26 • 62K ViewsJill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h
Ivan, the grown man with a touch of grey in his beard, will tell you later he has struggled to describe what it meant to him to meet again - that he shared our photo with classmates.
And when he returns from watching the Cabo Verde game, we will try to find the words together.

Jill Tucker @jilltucker • 20h And then you read that the US
House of Representatives will vote a day before that game on an amendment to eliminate the Peace Corps, which costs 1/6 the price of the Tomahawk missiles the US used in the war on Iran.

To a degree, I think it's always been that way in Italy, I assume because there's so many narrow streets. Here's the original 1950s model 500 (apologies if you already know this)

I wasn't saying they shouldn't make a profit at all, just that they might be able to stand not increasing some prices and make a reduced profit for a while but at this point it seems the size of the numbers involved just overwhelmed my capacity to reason, given the responses so far.

Wasn't the operating profit 10% ? I perhaps mistakenly assumed that was a more appropriate measure. And you do have a point with the large numbers of course

Meanwhile... "Staff will share £65m, or 1.25% of pay, which is equivalent to about £347 on average for a full-time member of staff"

Coupled with the absolute piss take that the prices are if you refuse to opt in to their data collecting store cards, I don't find it at all bizarre that people think they're greedy. And the boss recently got a £1 mil pay rise and ~£8 mil in bonuses while families up and down the country struggle 🤔

OGarvey @ogarvey.bsky.social · 21/06/2026
Well yeah, because they made £3 billion in profit before tax last year? I realise they sell more than just food, but surely they could price things cheaper and still make a profit? Seems like what they're actually doing is putting prices up to maintain a profit margin, not out of necessity.
