Callenson had the courage and conviction to stay with the scene and keep filming. Not to run away, but instead to follow the scene. To continue documenting what was unfolding.

I'd like to think I'd have done the same. I'm not sure at all that I would have.

Farage: "I believe in vaccinations when they're vaccinations. I don't think what happened with Covid were vaccinations. You have to keep having them every 6 months."

Conspiratorial nonsense.

Some vaccinations like Covid shots require multiple/seasonal doses because immunity fades & viruses change.

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

Oh, hai. I suffer - as do about 1 in every 1000 of you - from a condition called Cluster Headaches. Nobody EVER knows what these are, or how horrific. This article is super useful in explaining it all. If you can, do please give it a read.

Full-blown agony: my battle against the mysterious pain of cluster headaches
They can hurt more than broken bones or pancreatitis. But with the right drugs and therapies, relief is possible from this debilitating and often misunderstood condition

Excellent bit of journalism to avoid mentioning that there are now 12 more private schools than there were in 2024.

I have sincerely wrestled with Alaa Abd el-Fattah, weighing up the trollish nature of some of his tweets, the casual antisemitism of others, the fact his connection to Britain is tenuous at best, and my belief that revoking citizenship is fundamentally wrong.

The case of Alaa Abd el-Fattah is a test of Britain’s values.

Spoiler: They used the money just as wisely as anyone else would, and it's so frustrating that this still isn't a common sense assumption to make.

They'll blame you for them coming and blame you again for them leaving.

The Telegraph highlighting - yet missing - two vital points here.

1) We're not calling for £476m to be spent. It already is - this is about diverting it to actually helping.

2) Why "cruelty" in question? The £476m we're spending is part of an operation tear gassing babies.

"Unfortunately, all this also means that a lot of the openness of podcasting is slowly going away and becoming more centralized on platforms like YouTube and Netflix."

Hill I'm willing to die on: podcasts becoming a video-forward medium is / was a huge mistake, and the space is worse off for it

Suella Braverman’s parents emigrated (those horrible economic migrants not from a war zone she hates).

She went to Cambridge for free and didn’t collect £27k debt like everyone else. Scrounger.

She used the Erasmus scheme to study in France. Which she has blocked.

Horrible.

The Employment Rights Bill has passed and will become law. As the voice of the working classes, I voted against this bill because I know the last thing people want is sick pay, paternity leave or protection from dismissal, harassment and exploitative zero hour contracts.

Just pointing out that the UK has the highest pension and minimum wage we ever had. Also the highest level of regulatory protection.

Because it is rarely mentioned when everyone talks about how terrible everything is.
