I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

This has been a long time coming - I remember working on ideas around this over three years ago.
So well done to the government for actually getting on with it.

Don't normally give myself such an wide open opportunity to be proven an idiot online ... but I am pretty pissed off at NHS England's open manipulation of statistics to try to scare people.
NHS England continues scaremongering.
Health reporters are screaming "5000-8000 flu beds in NHS England next week". (Highest ever was 5,400). Source: Sir Jim Mackey of NHS England.
It's horseshit.
Real number will out on Thursday.
My guess: 3,200 or thereabouts.

A thorough exposure of the contemptible Chomsky
I've seen a lot of man's inhumanity to man in my work as a journalist over the years, but few stories I've worked on have given me the sense of moral & physical revulsion as this one about Noam Chomsky's relationship with the sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein. michaeldeibert.substack.com/p/no-chomsky
No, Chomsky
The revelations about the linguist’s relationship with the predator Jeffrey Epstein are a fitting epitaph to a disgraceful career.
