Eric Trump, "America doesn't need immigration, we have never needed it. We will give jobs only to real Americans" I'm assuming he means Apache or Navajo?

A few weeks ago I tried to investigate London’s bike theft epidemic. Then my own bike was stolen. This is what I found 🧵 Full article here: londoncentric.media/p/how-to-catch… The Met police, short on resources, won’t attend even if you know which block of flats contains your stolen bike.

Priti Patel has been made Shadow Foreign Secretary, which is a great excuse to remember that time Ian Hislop hilariously destroyed her argument in favour of the death penalty.


Today marks the centenary of the great composer Gabriel Faure's death, but does anyone know what role he played at the 1924 #OlympicGames ? The answer is in here: amazon.co.uk/Armes-Sport-Fr…

4 November 1995. Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin (aged 73), was shot dead by a 27-year-old right-wing Israeli law student, Yigal Amir, as he walked towards his car at the end of a peace rally in Tel Aviv. Amir told police he acted alone.

Dear Twitter, you’re threatening to suspend services to @StBartholomews if we don’t add a birth date, but you won’t allow us to go back before 1905. What do we do if our “birth date” is 1123?

48hrs in north Gaza, as per @UNICEF: - 50 children killed in Israeli strikes. - UN staffer’s car targeted by a quadcopter. - 3 kids wounded near a polio clinic. “These events [mark] another dark chapter in one of the darkest periods of this war.” unicef.org/press-releases…

Israeli troops have besieged the last three functional hospitals in north Gaza, a new chapter in a conflict that has targeted hospitals with an intensity and overtness rarely seen in modern warfare. The AP spent months collecting their stories. apnews.com/world-news/sti…

My advice, for what it’s worth: try not to be distracted by the faintly discourteous, the mildly incompetent, the harmlessly obnoxious. Roll with the delayed trains, dropped litter and misused apostrophes. Save your powder for the truly malevolent creatures now stalking the land.
