Turns out Pope Francis actually WAS catholic. Huh.
A photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with his arm around 17-year-old Virginia Roberts Giuffre was real, according to newly-released emails sent by Jeffrey Epstein, which undermine Andrew’s claim it may have been faked

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

America now seems to have descended into some sort of extreme gerrymandering arms race.
A reminder that there is a lot of ongoing litigation around the drawing (and redrawing) of congressional maps. My firm is currently involved in more than a dozen cases in 10 states: AL, CA, GA, LA, MO, NC, NY, TX, VA and WI.

Wait, WE CAN TURN IT OFF?!
Are there literally Americans who think we have BBC TV and Radio on non-stop and are not allowed to turn it off? Seems like a really weird conspiracy theory to abide by.

I’m not sure that people realise how much of the UK’s broadcast output is controlled by Trump acolytes.
It’s an unhealthy situation and makes supporting the BBC, which is a news source respected worldwide, essential.

For all the talk of 'Broken Britain', so many things have got better.
Even a simple factoid like this gets overlooked, but it was not long ago that *everyone* directly knew multiple examples of people taken away by this at something preposterous like age 22

Well today seems to be a good day to recommend that everyone looks up @originstorypodcast.bsky.social, and in particular the episodes about the BBC. @iandunt.bsky.social and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social have done the research so you can just sit back enjoy the swearing.
