i'm currently experiencing a minor medical issue but i'm extremely in my head freaking out about it right now (maybe a minor panic attack?) which is making me feel much worse than it should

Happy Turkmenistan Tree Planting Day (Autumn) for those who are celebrating. Twice a year, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, a shovel, and his unfeasibly smooth neck photoshopped hovering next to a tree.

A conscious and deliberate decision basically to weaken everything that demanded anything of anyone - whether it was effectively cancelling the old Newsnight, scrapping HardTALK, just at every stage a 'people won't get mad if we retreat from detail and rigour'.

It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him.

The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK.

The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

I'm guessing the BBC 'scandal' has been big on X this week as this was the first I had heard of it...

i hate the presumption that irregular channel crossings by asylum seekers are 'illegal'. it is not against the law to enter the UK irregularly for the purpose of seeking asylum. this is international law, to which the UK has been party to for longer than most people in britain have been alive

Curious application to the Electoral Commission as you might have thought that simply Your Party itself would be running candidates in Jeremy Corbyn's backyard

Ryanair are an interesting case study in the sense that the reputational cost of doing anything remotely decent doesn’t exist when everyone knows you’re wankers but cheap and safe.

Meanwhile in Canada: Tory MP crosses the floor to the Liberals on budget week, citing poor Tory leadership; in response, Polievre talks too much in the House and somehow gets usurped by the Bloc in opposition:

Our motion to parliament, tabled by @PippaHeylings.bsky.social would give both Samir Zitouni and Stephen the George Cross - the highest honour that can be awarded to civilians.

Both men's actions were nothing short of heroic, and they deserve the highest recognition our country can give.

All drug use outside palliative care should be criminalized and possession of dealer quantities should be punishable by death without appeal.
