I'm an ex-pat.

Why did all social media channels allow the upload & spread of footage showing the shooting of Charlie Kirk? A glimpse behind the scenes of social media moderation by someone who knows. [I know ... experts ... 🙄]

Five years ago, they warned the River Cam was only ‘one or two dry summers from crisis.’ That crisis has arrived – sewage, pollution, abstraction, and a dying chalk stream. See why it matters. Kate Moore reports during #BigRiverWatch from @theriverstrust.bsky.social

Dry summers, dirty water: the river Cam’s slow collapse

The river Cam faces crisis from sewage pollution, over-abstraction, and inaction – locals fight to save its wildlife and natural flow

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

Having him here, having all this pomp and pageantary for him, a rapist, fascist, genocidal facilitator, is a national disgrace. One day they will look back in shame at it

Very clever to proscribe Antifa as a terror org. as Antifa is very hard to define as an org. So Trump can now take anyone he wants off the street and claim they're Antifa. He came for women and blacks with anti-DEI. He came for browns with ICE. Now he'll call whites Antifa. Only MAGA is safe.

Let’s be clear about what just happened: Jimmy Kimmel, a prominent late-night comedian, was just taken off the airwaves because the Trump administration didn’t like what he had to say — and threatened his employer until they shut him up. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/fryLLE

I've just heard they called the right wing get-together in London yesterday "Unite the Kingdom". Strange way to unite a kingdom - by literally spreading hate and division.

Sky News says police are "overwhelmed by the numbers". Met coped perfectly well with 2x as many at the pro-Gaza rally, 5x as many at the anti-Brexit march, and 15x as many at London Pride. They're not overwhelmed by the numbers. They're overwhelmed by the ratio of violent thugs in those numbers.

The Fanta Fascist sued the Wall Street Journal for $10bn when they reported on the #Epstein birthday letter. WSJ have now published the letter - so they should now sue him for $10bn per person involved in the story! Sue him until he has nothing.

Big pharma picking our pockets. Advanz, the sole supplier of liothyronine tablets (thyroid drug) in the UK, hiked price from £20 to £248 per box – an increase of over 1,110%. Corporations devour everything, have no ethics. Must return to Labour's 2019 manifesto - govt to produce generic drugs.

Court upholds CMA’s £99m fine on pharma over excessive NHS thyroid drug prices

The Court of Appeal has unanimously upheld the CMA’s finding that Advanz broke the law by overcharging the NHS for essential thyroid drug liothyronine.
