As we’re starting a new era of Doctor Who, I thought I would give new fans a potted history of previous doctors…
I like the fact that Judge Dredd has aged with the comic and become old and mouldy, whereas Judge Anderson now looks about 18 years old.

In this critical moment for the American project, I’ve been thinking a lot about what comes next. Over the past year and a half, I’ve put those thoughts on paper, and they’ve grown into a book I’m proud to share with you.
My latest book, NEXT, is not a policy manual. It’s a look at how our nation got to this point, an argument for why this is the moment to build something better, and a case for the principles that should guide us as we do.
NEXT arrives at your local bookseller and on your favorite audiobook platforms on January 26th and is available for pre-order today. I hope you’ll read it. simonandschusterpublishing.c…

“I can reveal that showbusiness reporters at the Sun were told to drop negative stories about [David] Walliams because both that newspaper and HarperCollins are owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News UK, even sharing offices near London Bridge,” confided showbiz maven Katie Hind to Daily Mail readers on 20 December.
Hind’s revelation came after the comedian and children’s author was dropped by his publisher following an investigation into “inappropriate behaviour”. (Walliams denies inappropriate behaviour and has said he is taking legal advice.)
She’s not wrong. As the Eye has long noted, Murdoch’s titles have been obliged to do PR duties for Walliams, running plugs for his kids’ books disguised as news stories, special editions of the Funday Times and even Covid home- schooling resources.

Why do "Wellness" quacks always promote useless vitamin supplements which just give you expensive urine as you simply pee it out
But are against Vitamin K shots for newborn babies which can literally save their life by stopping them bleeding to death?
More newborns are missing a routine vitamin K shot axios.com/2026/11/10/vitamin…

Putin’s ideology is war. He has nothing before, after, or outside of war. Chechnya, Georgia, Ukraine. There is no conception of a durable peace.
.@jaredkushner says President Trump believes the war has gone on too long and is "disturbed" by the toll the Russia-Ukraine war has caused. Kushner says him and Steve Witkoff "strongly" believe Russians and President Putin are ready for peace.

Turns out "suffer financially for a higher good, by which I mean the well being of a foreign state," is not a winning campaign message.
Former Sen. Rick Santorum blames the midterm results on selfish voters who were unwilling to "suffer financially for a higher good": "Nobody likes to do it, but we all suffer." peoplefor.org/rightwingwatch…

Trump has no power to dictate the security terms of Europe, a continent he neither controls nor understands

Massie: The irony of it is he was attacking Senator Mark Kelly for saying you don't have to carry out illegal orders. Well, that's the consequence of this—Hegseth ignoring Senator Kelly's advice—six of these articles of impeachment are for him carrying out illegal orders

The only “new European security architecture” worth considering is a Europe armed to the teeth, with Ukraine as a NATO member. Strength is the only language the Kremlin understands.

Jim Jordan, accused of knowing & doing nothing about the sexual assault of student athletes at OSU.
Who schemed with Trump to overturn the 2020 election.
Who was a useful idiot for Putin by denying Russia's assault on the 2016 election.
He'll be the new GOP House leader.

Don Jr., who appears to be very high, thinks that Russel Brand was unfairly sentenced for 10 years.
He thinks the rape charges are BS because the allegations date to the 90s. He says they charged him because he's a conservative. Sounds familiar?

Utter and complete US strategic failure. The US started this war not knowing what it was doing, made things worse by fighting the war with no plan or awareness of strategic consequences. And here we are, 9 months later and all there is left to do is blame the rest of the world.

This is the kind of headline you read and your mind just refuses to believe it. You assume there must be some exaggeration or misinformation, or some nuanced fact is being exploited to paint an inaccurate picture.
Because surely it cant be this, right? Surely theres no way a 20 y/o man could have his sentence overturned because it wasnt established at his trial whether he "thought he was having consensual sex with a 10 y/o".
But then you read the article (article 🔗'd in reply) and thats literally what it is. This is what makes ppl think our leaders hate us, this is what deligitimizes the Liberal project in many people's minds.
Like many liberal-minded people of my generation, I grew up believing that progressivism promised a better way, a more fair and just world, where people really WERE judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
When I see stuff like this, i cannot help but think something is deeply wrong with the state of the modern Left. After all, to paraphrase the psycho from No Country For Old Men:
"If the liberalism you followed brought you to this....of what use was your liberalism?"

Insane story: we are at war
BREAKING: A member of the US Army has been arrested in the UK accused of spying for Russia
The arrest was made as part of an investigation by UK Counter Terrorism Policing, working closely with US authorities, US Military and the FBI.
The 41-year-old man was arrested near Gloucester on Tuesday, 10 November. He was arrested on suspicion of offences under Section 1 and Section 3 of the National Security Act 2023. As part of the investigation officers are carrying out searches at two locations in Gloucestershire.
The country to which the allegations relate is Russia.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans, Senior National Coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing, said: “This significant arrest and investigation is a result of close collaboration between UK and US authorities. The allegations are serious and our investigation is very much ongoing. This activity demonstrates the strength of our UK and US law enforcement and national security partnerships, and I commend the work of all the teams involved. We will work together to take robust action against those we suspect of any criminal activity that could undermine our national security."
FBI Director Kash Patel said: “This important arrest involves allegations of espionage, which is of the utmost concern to the United States and our allies. While this investigation is continuing, I want to send a clear message – this FBI has no tolerance for anyone who breaks their oath to the United States and whose actions endanger our national security and that of our partners. This includes 167 counterintelligence and espionage arrests from this FBI over the last 21 months – a 53% increase.”
“This matter shows that partnerships are essential to protect our countries and I want to express my thanks to UK Counter Terrorism Policing, MI5, UK Defence Counter Intelligence, and the U.S. Army Counterintelligence Command for their outstanding work.”

Ukrainian existence has to be approved by Putin! I admit that I supported Rubio for president in 2016, but time has shown that Trump was a much better judge of his character than I was.
🇺🇸🇺🇦 US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Ukraine can only receive security guarantees that Russia will also agree to.
"There is no concrete plan yet for what this will look like. As far as I understand, concepts of what security guarantees could be after the conflict were discussed. And this topic is constantly making headlines because, in my opinion, it will be key to ending the war. Ukraine needs to feel secure after the war. And, of course, this must be something that Russia will also agree to—otherwise it won't work. Some may think we're doing the opposite. But in fact, these security guarantees will be key for Ukraine to agree to anything. And, to repeat the obvious, Russia must agree to this too. That's why these negotiations are so important," he told reporters.
