We all know Brexit’s to blame for the crisis facing UK steel – it’s time for politicians to be honest and reverse it | Simon Jenkins

When will we start naming streets after children who were victims of school shootings?

GunnyJKJ @gunnyjkj.bsky.social · 1h

This is being considered here in Florida.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.
