Termites and ants are natural enemies, yet these two colonies negotiated a border. Each side lines up its own guards. Neither crosses. Pure evolutionary math.

There are days when I miss being an editor. I loved writing headlines. Whoever did this, I hope they took the rest of the day off.

Remember in today's elections there are some parties who would jail this pensioner for being right 1. Antisemitism is real & revolting; 2. To march against a UK government that supports genocide is to march *against* hate; 3. There is nothing 'Jewish' about Netanyahu's crimes; #SolidarityPalestine

Emilie Flöge (1874-1952) was an innovative Art Nouveau Austrian fashion designer who aimed to reform dress designs for women. Though (typically) not noted widely by history, she influenced the work of her companion, the artist Klimt and featured in his work #WomensArt
Two images, a painting and a monochrome photograph of the upper half of the same woman with curly dark hair wearing a highly patterned dress,both facing left looking outwards

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙

Brutal.
A WHOLE CIVILIZATION
WILL DIE TONIGHT
My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools.
Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's
"keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's
"we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight."
It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before.
"It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time.
A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead.

A French general just looked at Trump’s plan to build a runway inside Iran to fly out uranium under active bombing. His response: “American officials should stop snorting cocaine between meetings.”

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

Honestly the collective national level of disdain for Brits living in Dubai on all my social media platforms today really is bringing the UK together as one in a way that's hard to achieve in the modern era.

Then God said, “And behold, when the fourth seal was opened, there arose four upon the crest of the storm: pipes skirling doom, bellows wheezing famine, strings twanging conquest, drum thundering regret. Power given to afflict the earth with cursed reel forever.”
A stylized illustration shows four wide-eyed, cartoon-like musicians seated on curling, wave-shaped ground beneath a dramatic, cloudy sky. From left to right: one plays a stringed instrument resembling a mandolin, another stands playing bagpipes while wearing a kilt and top hat, the third plays an accordion, and the fourth beats a hand drum. The landscape around them twists into dark, spiraling shapes, giving a surreal, ominous feel despite the whimsical character designs. At the bottom of the image, decorative text reads: “The Four Musicians of the Apocalypse.” BY UNKNOWN CARTOONIST

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When did you ever hear the BBC stating that it must alter “story selection” and “other types of output, such as drama”, to win the trust of Green voters, or of unrepresented people on the left? All the shifts are in just one direction. bylinetimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

There are many things in this short existence of ours that I will never understand but middle-class and poor people voting for people that continually screw over middle class and poor people while simultaneously rewarding the wealthy - That’s something I’ll never begin to wrap my head around.
