1. It's the longest day today. Please don't look at the Sun. It's bad for you even if you briefly look at it. The same goes for the Mail and the Express.

The BBC is shocked when Israeli soldiers – illegally occupying Syria – identify its film crew, point guns at their heads, strip-search them, then blindfold and interrogate them.
Might it encourage the BBC to report the systematic murder of Palestinian journalists in Gaza?

1. Screenshot of a post. Heading: Hard-hitting notice in my Doctor's surgery - "Do you say sorry?" Below which a photograph of a notice in a doctor's surgery that reads: Not vaccinating your kids leaves them vulnerable to disease their whole lives. When your daughter gets rubella when pregnant, how are you going to explain that you chose to leave her at risk? What will you say when she calls you and tells you she has cervical cancer, because you decided that she wouldn’t need the HPV vaccine? What do you tell your son when he breaks the news to you that he cannot have kids, thanks to the mumps that he got as a teenager And what do You say when he gives influenza to his grandma? How do you explain that she won't be coming home from hospital? Not ever. Do you tell them that you didn't think these diseases were that serious? That you thought your organic, home cooked food was enough to protect them? Do you say sorry?

Israeli protesters gathered near the border to block trucks carrying humanitarian aid into Gaza.
What sort of soulless ghoul protests against humanitarian food aid?

It would be dangerous as well as foolish to dismiss Feiglin as "extreme right".
This sort of opinion expressed in comfortable TV studios to be broadcast into comfortable living rooms is being made reality in Gaza.

1. Pritzker: It’s time for us to be done with optimism about their motives. Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.

If we abandon Kyiv, you will" Under which is the URL telegraph co uk and in the place that might on a document take a signature the masthead of The Telegraph under-printed with the text "We speak your mind"

1. Post by vfxgordon Also note that the tariffs are not broken down by country, they're broken down by top level internet domain. It's why islands that are populated entirely by penguins (the .hm domain) and why the Diego Garcia military base on BIOT (.io) are listed, also why Reunion (.re) and Gibraltar (.gi) are listed separately from France & the UK. They 100% used an LLM to generate this list and didn't catch the mistake because they're all dumb as rocks.

1. Tweet from Oleksandra Povoroznyk @rynkrynk In response to J D Vance complaining about the disturbing effect of “Slava Ukraini” protesters on his three-year-old daughter: « My four-year-old gets anxious whenever he has to take his nap in the daycare’s makeshift bomb shelter, which is almost daily. He also gets anxious whenever we wake him up in the middle of the night to take him to the bathroom because there are explosions outside our home. STFU. »

@BrodieOnLinux The thing is that Betteridge's law was coined to highlight why headlines are written as questions.
While you are correct on the simple interpretation that does nothing to invalidate the deeper point. Although it might suggest that you missed it as perhaps many do.

Europe’s largest pension fund sold its entire €571 million ($585 million) stake in Tesla Inc. in the third quarter partly due to disagreement with Elon Musk’s remuneration package.
“We had a problem” with Musk’s pay package, a spokesperson for Stichting Pensioenfonds ABP said Sunday. The fund also considered costs, return and responsible investment requirements in its decision to sell its investment.

tl;dr — Brit. Europhile. Gay.61, no idea how that happened. Londoner for work rather than inclination. Professionally that would be IT hardware and data centres, but currently unemployed. Will consider all reasonable offers and most unreasonable ones.Interested in books, SF&F history, physics. Transit/transport. Architecture, especially housing. Dealing with climate change. Politically lefish and small-l liberal. Oddly traditionalist in many things.
