Ha, this is savage.
I am a perfectly ordinary person. I am simply a human being. Perhaps not as great a humanist as Putin—but, in any case, I try to do everything in my power. — Zelenskyy.

We’ve been doing this for years in Sweden. It’s not a deep state conspiracy, it’s common sense.
“Be ready by having some everyday essentials… three litres of water per person per day, tinned goods... to last a few days” Speaking to @vicderbyshire, Defence Secretary Wes Streeting details advice to households to be prepared for a “dangerous and turbulent world”. #Newsnight

UK crime was four times higher when Oasis first played Knebworth than at last year’s reunion gigs. The collapse of crime and safer streets is one of the biggest stories of our time. But one almost never told - or believed. My take on today’s figures: comment.press/lawless

"Top officials in the State Department made clear that only candidates who voted for President Donald Trump would be eligible for the mid-to-upper level foreign service roles. They also told candidates that their campaign donation history would be examined and any donation to Democrats would be disqualifying."
SCOOP: The State Dept has started asking career diplomats up for promotion if they voted for Trump in 16, 20, 24. Federal law prohibits politically based hiring for career staff. State tells @washingtonsun it's screening for "fidelity" and execution of the president's vision👇

The collapse in violent crime over three decades has been one of the most striking developments of my lifetime. News is about what’s going wrong, and rightly so. But the bigger picture also matters From today’s figures:-

This is so damaging! Corpses and their burials tell us so much about the past — especially the distant past. Of course we shouldn’t be displaying the stolen body parts of indigenous peoples from the 19th century, but to ban the display of human remains from civilizations that disappeared hundreds or thousands of years ago is to deprive people of a chance to engage with history. Stop this nonsense.

It's crazy that there's a tool out there that's become vital to they way I do my job, parent my kids, and make major life decisions; and yet we barely spend more on it than AI
TIL that global spending on alcohol is still larger than AI infrastructure spending this year ($1.7T vs $1.5T)

Putin, the baby-murdering kind of humanitarian.
Witkoff to Putin: “You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian -- you are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.”

Jag bad Claude (sic) ta fram siffror på hur välfärdsstatens andel av BNP utvecklats under Macrons tid vid makten. För att möta bilden av de enorma nedskärningar som ska ha gjorts.

Would love to have seen what it looked like inside the Daimler. She must have been completely buried in corgis.

“Be truthful, not neutral” is excellent advice for a journalist.
Christiane Amanpour, one of CNN’s most recognizable faces, is leaving the network after 43 years. ‘Remember: always be truthful, not neutral,’ she said in a statement announcing her departure. thecut.com/article/christian…
