That’s the thing about life. Sometimes you’re a young Nigella Lawson playing croquet; other times, you just end up inexplicably carrying a sedan chair.

Do not ask why this just came up in a professional conversation, which it did, but my all-time favourite chart on Wikipedia is the line of succession of Sugababes. It's like a 17th century schism.

As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

🚨 SCOOP: Congressional Budget Office believed to be hacked for foreign actor
Congressional Budget Office believed to be hacked by foreign actor
The Congressional Budget Office formulates economic projections for lawmakers, and every bill taken up in either chamber of Congress gets a CBO “score” of how much it would add to the national debt.

You don't get this level of excitement in my local Tesco.
Shoppers at the Branson Walmart were stunned after a black bear wandered inside, picked up a can of bear spray, and accidentally sprayed it down an aisle before walking back out through the front doors. Several people were treated for coughing and irritation, and the bear was safely guided away.

I finished reading Art of the Lie this morning. I am stunned, as I was repeatedly throughout the book. Completely drained. No shocked gasps left in me. Thank you-an amazing book. I’m sure I’ll recover soon.

I’ve been looking forward to reading @laurasrobinson.bsky.social’s The Art of a Lie and the twists and turns don’t stop; in fact, they just come hurtling at you like being mown down by a horse drawn carriage running pell mell.
Astonishing story and research so far!

V late to this (it’s a weekend, family stuff, etc) but..I agree with Ben. Both Katie Lam’s interview about deporting people with legal status (and the way STimes treated it) & the Christian Calgie business are disturbing egs of forgetting that ‘normal on X these days’ is very much not normal
Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.
