When we see the excess deaths from record-breaking temperatures we shouldn't be shy in saying those journalists who knowingly lied and obfuscated about climate change until there was nothing we could do about it have blood on their hands the same way Nazi propagandists did.

I torture my household with my attempts at music intermittently - today Halo popped into my head. In my repertoire of sad, angry, heartbroken songs it's one of the few that I can sing TO my partner. But today I got to "Gravity can't forget to pull me back to the ground again". And I melted 🥺🖤🤼

It'll be 8 years since I've stepped foot in Worthy Farm when I FINALLY make it back next June for my 15th. Can't wait to see what's changed and, hopefully, what hasn't. I always say I grew up at Glastonbury. My brother taking me to my first in '99 was a pivotal moment. I'd be a different person.

Massacre at Minab: The School That Became a Grave
The bombing of an Iranian school, killing 120 children, is one of the worst U.S. war crimes since Vietnam. Drop Site spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, and witnesses. This is their story.

You are not owed information on Pac’s death and any reporting we may see is not an invitation to flood social media with speculation and theories that his friends and families may see as they are grieving. You are better than V*l V*nis.

There's no getting away from it, this absolutely fucking sucks. Give people a bit of understanding. Everyone grieves differently. Some public, some private. Some need shoulders, some provide them. Some scream, some sob, some try to laugh. There are no points to be won or lost. Be well ♥️💔♥️ 🤼

One of the most effective things Pac did in AEW was protect the Black Arrow Not just in a nobody-kicks-out way but by not showing it EVERY week. More often he'd change move or roll through. When he hit it on TV last week I popped so hard. I can't believe it's the last time we'll ever see it 😭

I'm in genuine shock at the Pac news - truly one of my favourite wrestlers and one of the most underrated talents. Always such a good guy and was instrumental in so many careers. I can't imagine the loss his close friends and colleagues feel. Hug your loved ones, tomorrow isn't promised. 🤼

Why are Israel even in UEFA? All their neighbours are in the AFC. Why does the world pamper them into never having to be friendly with their neighbours? Sport is literally FOR THAT. You go to your neighbours house, you play games, you win, you lose, you make friends, learn lessons, improve.

When the European Union membership referendum was first being pledged by Cameron I renember screaming into the void "WILL NOBODY TALK ABOUT WHAT THIS MEANS FOR NORTHERN IRELAND?!" Even after the vote nobody would. 21 years from Good Friday and we're back at Drumcree. What a fucking waste.

Something very depressing about hearing ‘Drumcree’ at the top of morning news Reminds me of my teenage years when it seemed to be a constant. Now feels like unionism banging the drum - geddit? - while the whole world has changed around them

The compromise has been in place for years, the compromise is what's been broken - that these literal hate-marches *don't go through neighbourhoods filled with the very people they're marching in hatred of* It was a good and functional compromise until last night. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...

Drumcree: NI secretary of state calls for 'compromise' as Orange Order march blocked by protesters
The march, which in the 1990s sparked some of the most serious disorder in Northern Ireland's history, will go ahead for the first time in nearly 30 years after a series of courtroom challenges.

The only reason the Orange Order do their marches in the first place is incitement to religious hatred. It's an exercise in rubbing Catholic/Republican noses in the dirt marking centuries of subjugation. But it's the counter-protesters causing the problems. Sure.

I've been around the block enough to know you wait for the appeals and, maybe, the sentencing - but there's got to be a few squeaky bums wearing sky blue this evening. I'd say squeaky bums in Manchester, but barely any of their fans actually live there 😏🤭

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...
The imposing Callanish Stones stand talk with their shadows spanning out across the glass.  It's a super clear sky, but looks cold. Above the central stone is a strange figure-of-8 shape of dots.  This is the location of the Sun, at noon, on various different days across the year.

Sheeran still trying to both sides it, calling Palestine 'the most complex political issue on the planet'. It's *not* complicated and that bullshit stopped many of us seeing reality for years. In 2026, there's no excuse. We have all witnessed a government murdering children and gloating about it.

Social media has conditioned us so an instant dopamine rush of telling strangers "I experienced something!" is more reliable than allowing an actual experience to take you where it can. A performance might exceed expectation or even disappoint but a "Like" notification from Jenny36582 is a banker.

In many ways the broad swathe of British/European social history can boil down to the intermittent efforts of our continental betters to civilise us and our resolute determination that we are perfectly proud to eat over-roasted shit, scraped from the boot of someone who told us they were our Lord.

I remember outrage about Just Stop Oil blocking a street, just in case an ambulance had to drive down it. Not because an ambulance was prevented from doing so, you understand. Just the abstract idea that one might have to.

For real though, Ed Sheeran has never been down a day in his fucking life. Why does he continue to get love/respect in hip-hop/grime circles? Stormzy brought him out at fucking Glastonbury and I booed the entire section. He's an ugly fucking nerd with a squeaky voice. Stop working with him.

So we're doing relatively well at arguing there needs to be a minimum age for social media - it's probably time we start talking about a MAXIMUM too. Old people who weren't raised in this technology are having their BRAINS FUCKED UP by it and it's just as dangerous.

Watching my twenty-something kids fall in love with CDs and vinyl is something else. "I can listen without paying every month?" "Nobody knows what I put on or when?" They're not being nostalgic. They're discovering, for the first time, that a song can belong to you and only you.

I think #AEWDynamite this week was the most wrestling has made me cry in 2 hours ever. What a perfect way to feature Rebel, especially the reappearance of the "Roll Model" chair. And Excalibur's tribute to Andy Williams... true emotion, exactly what the moment demanded. Thank you for existing 🤼

It only just occurred to me that going by history most wrestling promoters faced with a hard curfew/per-minute fine and not enough time for their big main event... probably would've forced the women to rush their co-main. Tony paid that fine for Mercedes and Willow as much as Will and Kenny. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 🤼
