If Starmer were to announce that he and @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu were in talks to rejoin the EU right now, Im confident that the majority of Britain would be ecstatic.

Someone said to me, "I'm sorry but I got your book from a library." Nobody should ever apologise for that. You read my book! That's brilliant! I grew up hanging out in libraries and the idea of a world without them fills me with dread. Without libraries, authors, like readers, will only suffer.

This is brilliant - Steppe ppl helping Ukrainians by deploying an actual yurt:
🇰🇿🇺🇦The 'Yurta of Indomitability' operates in Shevchenko Park. It's a care center in Kyiv, established by the Kazakh diaspora.
Here, people can recharge, warm up, drink tea, and taste the signature Kazakh bread, cooked over a fire.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

One of them was recently commended in a regional BakeOff.
