The explosion of 'Asylum Seekers coincided with... Brexit. It wasn't a coincidence, Nigel CAUSED it. Are some people still this unenlightened and bereft of Critical Thinking?

The State Department said ​it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

I'd have put money on this not happening.

CONCACAF stopped short of a boycott, but joined UEFA in rejecting FIFA's private investment plan. That's 96 out of the 211 countries in FIFA rejecting it. If the 10 countries in South America reject it, the plan is dead. www.concacaf.com/competitions...

They’re not messing about. If only US media had managed to be similarly united & determined in the face of Trump’s assaults on them…

Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · 6d ago

The full statement from UEFA is remarkable. Members vow not to participate in FIFA competitions unless the entire proposal is scrapped and assurances are made it is gone for good.

Heath is totally unhinged, isn't he?

Do you mean the bit of the Mediterranean that catches on fire? x

Yoga types. Do you ever get fed up of the instructor droning on and on during 'meditation'? I don't want to imagine lying on a beach or feeling pebbles under my feet. I just want silence so I can drift for a while. As you can see I'm not a yoga type, this replaced our running club today due to heat.

Ffs what is this crap? Reducing football to a circus. Just f off with this nonsense. Totally ruined the competition. #H/T #WorldCup

Are they showing the half time entertainment in the UK? Sad to say they are on Greek TV.

Ffs this commentator.. it doesn't matter how much possession they've had if they don't score. #NORENG #WorldCup

His claim to be fighting for the people of Clacton would have been somewhat more convincing if he hadn't been forced to go back more than two years before finding a clip of himself there

"Few things could more astutely summarise the state of our national politics in 2026, than the spectacle of such a ludicrous character, whose head looks like a grey bucket with a gaping mouth drawn on it, standing in a totally pointless by-election against Count Binface."

Americans no longer care their president is a whiney cheat and just go along with it. Trouble is, they expect the rest of us to. Sod that.

Jm@jmstilb.bsky.social · last mo.

This discourse is so funny if you have ever watched soccer before. Teams are constantly doing shady shit, the organization has always been corrupt, and the US was already hated.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Let's see how much integrity, sportsmanship and self-respect the American team and the US football authority have....

@lapin2.bsky.social · last mo.

If the US wins it's because the US cheated. Now if the US team has integrity they will bench Balogun to distance themselves from this scandal. If they play Balongun, then they are garbage team representing the garbage values of the US government & the American electorate.

Yes, but the Secretary of State called for resilience and said kids had to be in school if schools were open What will it take for this unhinged obsession with attendance at ANY cost to stop? Does someone actually have to die? I think the answer to that is yes. Yes, they do.

Leicestershire Live understands that staff had complained that temperatures were getting ridiculous for days before the situation came to a head on Thursday, June 25.

Why do so many kids in the UK hate school? they ask. It's a complete bloody mystery.. www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

School puts pupils in isolation after parents let them wear PE kit for heatwave

Parents of children at North Liverpool Academy in Anfield, Liverpool, allowed them go into school wearing PE kits due to the heat - and they were immediately put in isolation

The multimillionaire Nigel Farage rails against climate action, while gliding from one air-conditioned building to another. He knows that he and his ilk will suffer least. But he is prepared to sacrifice everyone else to the demands of his fossil-fuelled funders. So much for "the man of the people".

@mrjamesob.bsky.social The freezer aisles in my local Sainsbury's are all shut this morning, and it looks like they've failed in the heat.

Oh ffs Scotland. You can't piss about at the back like that, and expect to get away with it.

I heard the author of this article in a podcast. Fascinating story. Some day there should be a film made about these women.

Exploiting blind spots in Russian military culture, Ukrainian women transform into deadly intelligence assets behind enemy lines. Using online honey traps and covert communications, these "warrior-witches" feed precise coordinates to drone operators, turning ordinary encounters into lethal strikes.

How difficult would it be, really, to put him in a Truman Show style simulation, where he still thinks he is in charge?

To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years. I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

I dunno, but maybe Iran has the Epstein files...?

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (NM-01)@repstansbury.bsky.social · 2mo ago

So basically they took the U.S. to war, got thousands of civilians and U.S. service members killed or injured, spent billions of taxpayer dollars, and ended up agreeing to terms that embolden the regime they claimed they were going to take out and let's Iran maintain its nuclear program. (1/2)

Bakers - what can I use instead of Stevia in low carb cakes please? I've only added half of the amount in the recipe and it's too sweet, and there's that bitter after taste seeping through. (Otherwise the cake is banging) Don't usually bake with artificial sweeteners so I'm a bit in the dark.

Happy 80 birthday to Slade guitarist and vocalist Noddy Holder!
