BBC News explain that because of Brexit, Brits will be photographed and have their fingerprints taken when going into the EU, as the UK now is a third country

BBC News forget to explain that the UK helped create these rules when we were part of the EU because we wanted stronger border control

The ceasefire has come into effect, but with it all our dreams and hopes have gone, our homes have gone. We are now in a very catastrophic situation. Help us overcome this pain, for you are our hope. 🥺🙏

Plenty of criticisms of UEFA but I do think the Nations League has somewhat given these smaller countries a fighting chance.

The Faroe Islands—population just 55,000—beat the Czech Republic 🤯

An astonishing result. The territory's population is smaller than the capacity of six Premier League stadiums, yet they've just won a third straight international game 🇫🇴

Saleh was 27 years old with his life ahead of him. He loved his people, he loved his religion, he loved his land. He covered the genocide for two years as the powers of the world tried to silence his voice. His voice will live on, even after the occupation ends. Glory to the martyrs.

“Who was president in 2020?” remains one of the most pertinent questions in American politics—absurd, yes, but here we are—and that extends to “who was president January 1 - 19, 2021?”

In the wake of a ceasefire, it’s important that those who can don’t stop talking about Palestinian liberation, a ceasefire is an acute and essential fix but doesn’t resolve the wider issue

The US is a straight-up police state, more egregious than the vast majority of ‘totalitarian regimes’ we (in the Global North) grew up being warned about.

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."
