The world's most notorious custard-pie thrower is dead. What an obituary. He got Bernard-Henri Lévy seven times.

I didn't realise growing up how much of my adult life would be taken up by carrying clothes up and down stairs, and making sure doors are closed.
The fallout from the collapse of this glacier - a torrent of mud surging down the valley - killed hundreds of people. Gone, in a flash. Those people were wiped out by anthropogenic climate change. Our governments are simply not responding quickly enough to this disaster which is already upon us.
Nahel Belgherze@wxnb.bsky.social · 6d agoAn incredibly well-timed Landsat 9 pass captured the effects of yesterday’s catastrophic glacier collapse near the Nepal–Tibet border. The event was so massive that it was detected by seismometers around the world.
Professional wordsmiths at the BBC are mixing up their modal auxiliary verbs, accidentally positioning Reform as a government in waiting. The use of 'will' signals the future tense carrying implied certainty, rather than the hypothetical scenario suggested by 'would.' www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Reform says it will prioritise British-born young workers for social housing
Labour called the plan "unserious and unworkable" and accused Reform of pushing "gimmicks and division".

Did you know that there are *25* candidates standing for the Clacton by-election? I'm really concerned that Farage could split the Monster Raving Looney vote.
It is a testament to #Glasgow’s past, and a semi-hidden jewel in the modern city, that it has such fine green spaces which belie the lazy old tropes of a smoky, overbuilt, grey industrial behemoth. Even on this map, we can see that open spaces and recreation were in the minds of city planners.
Alan Godfrey Maps (3,900+ publications and counting!)@alangodfreymaps.bsky.social · last mo.We’ve noted before that #Glasgow’s maps are particularly busy & filled with industry in both senses of the word, & Glasgow (St Rollox) 1933 is further proof. Despite the railways, factories, institutions & housing, space was made for recreation. One wonders how clean the air might have been though!

So roughly, 'illegal immigration' costs the UK about 5 billion quid. That's a lot & its bad. Tax avoidance is estimated to cost the UK about 50 billion quid. That's 10 times more & is 10 x worse. Where's the gammon shouting at accountants then? Oh and immigrants in general boost the economy.
It occurs to me that there could be a kind of Countryfile programme, but for history. Not only that, it could be a brilliant showcase for new historians to reach wider audiences. Eg: Known Presenter is at Historic Place Of The Week. Between bits of that history, cuts to other segments.

Warren: “In 2025…the Trump administration has dropped cases against more than 50 companies that…have financial ties to the president or his inner circle.”
Haven't seen a German this passionate about wanting England to win since the royal family changed their name at the start of WWI.
