The BBC – Part one – Inform, educate, entertain
So far this season we’ve had to deal with Russell Brand and Benjamin Netanyahu, and we’ve got the Daily Mail coming up, so we all deserve a more uplifting tale. This week we commence the epic story…

What could possibly go wrong?
India and Russia are set to sign a mobility pact, which would help increase the number of Indian workers in Russia in the coming years, The Economic Times reported.
The deal is likely to be signed during Putin's trip to India next month.

I would delete the used condom comparison and add that the survival of media like the BBC is crucial to our defence against Russia and if Keir Starmer understands that threat he should be appalled by what’s happened.
Apart from that I fully second this piece

I'm hard-pressed to think of a non-Jewish Democratic politician who has spoken to Jews with more respect and empathy than Mamdani. The fact that many Jewish establishment orgs are going after him while staying relatively mum on resurgent Nazism is a disaster, both for American Jews and in general.

Seems like a parody but I’m not sure it is
From @theathletic.com: A few years ago, Matt Berninger, the singer-songwriter and frontman of The National, was stuck with writer’s block. “I started getting depressed by notebooks.” So he wrote on a baseball instead. Then the words kept coming.

Well worth watching - thanks Anton for posting this.
Brilliant how he cuts short the presenter’s attempt to defuse the row by saying there are lots of different interpretations of Maidan - “not really, and you were there too, reporting - you think you were fooled cos it was actually a CIA plot?”

Italian Senator Carlo Calenda left Jeffrey Sachs literally speechless and shocked by calling him a liar and someone who repeats Russian propaganda narratives.
I believe this is exactly how public accountability should work - when a liar is called a liar.
