Favorite images of 2025, Day 6: A roseate spoonbill splashes its wings through the water, causing an explosion of droplets as it looks straight ahead towards the camera. One of my favorite photos I've ever taken. #birds

Chaos on TwitterX as they roll out a new change which shows the location of the user and inadvertently reveal how many fake accounts there are and how much foreign interference.
Earlier a vocal Scottish independence campaigner was outed as an Iranian account. Then there’s this pro Trump one:

This is the launch control button that MM93 was fiddling with at the start of the sprint. He says he forgot he had already turned it on, so as he rolled to the grid he thought he was turning it on, when in fact he was turning it off.

Russian missiles killed 4 people overnight in Kyiv - including, appallingly, 3 first responders as they tried to rescue civilian victims of earlier attacks.
Putin will not stop murdering Ukrainian civilians unless forced.
European leaders must act. 🇺🇦

Maybe if you funded community facilities like sports and recreation grounds, village/community halls, parks, theatres where people could meet and share hobbies and passions, you could prevent the UK from becoming "an island of strangers".
Or you could just do some racism and hope that works.

Keir Starmer says immigration system is “almost designed to permit abuse” and that it risks “pulling the country apart”.
PM says UK needs tougher rules to reduce immigration significantly or it risks becoming “an island of strangers”.

Sometimes a race will come along and remind you why you love this sport, what makes it so special, why your pour your heart and soul into the spectacle of people riding in circles on motorcycles.
Sometimes something magic happens in #MotoGP.
Sunday at Le Mans was one of those days. A celebration.

NEW: Hannah is my ex-step daughter. And when I was in middle of my Cambridge Analytica investigation, she had a stalker. Stalkers. For years. A whole cast of characters making her life hell. In 2021, I approached the BBC: could we try & nail the perpetrator(s)?

Word of the day is a favourite, from old Scots.
To ‘tartle’ is to hesitate while introducing someone because you have completely forgotten their name.

Twitter really has went down the toilet. Every time I check in, I’m being followed by another bunch of obvious bots who I delete.
Tbh, it’s happening here too. Less bots, more engagement farms with little to offer. I understand twitter as they obviously got paid, but what’s the benefit here??

Why have the Guardian & Observer's journalists voted overwhelming to go on strike? I've attempted to summarise our concerns, the reports so far & why a Scott Trust board meeting tomorrow is a pivotal moment for press freedom & the future of journalism.
