International media are picking up the slack. This is from BBC News live coverage:
Screenshot of text discussing crime statistics in Washington, DC. It states that violent crime has been declining since 2023 and is at a 30-year low, according to Metropolitan Police data, though some incidents still concern residents. It says the president is appealing to people's emotions by emphasizing certain crimes, such as an attack on Elon Musk protégé Edward Coristine, and concludes that he is pushing feelings, not facts.

What I find funny is I've kept tabs on his Truth Social long enough to know a big portion of his followers HATE it when he pokes fun at their religion. I don't know if this does any meaningful damage to their support, but it's fascinating that the ppl running his account don't care if it does!

Please be careful with this one. Here is some additional context I found over on a transgender subreddit:
Reddit post from user aphroditex that reads: Disclosure: I help at r/TransWorldExpress. Keep in mind the subject of the piece is not currently an elected official, but her party is advocating for asylum for trans USians. As of today, 6 April 25, I’m not aware of any successful refugee claims for trans Americans. Additionally, TWE advocates for finding front door means of migration, be it claiming citizenships one is entitled to or traditional immigration pathways. Asylum is a last ditch option for when there are no other options available to protect one’s life. Refugee status comes with a lot of restrictions and limitations. If you are planning on leaving, please pursue traditional emigration pathways first.

Hi, thanks for coming back! Not really sure what I’m doing but I tried a few different variations of the domain and got different errors back (see attached screenshots). It shouldn’t be the username/password as I can still log in via the website without issue

For those who are also wondering, it's called Ahead, and I'm calling bullshit on the "free" and "no subscription" part of that ad 💀
Subscription plan selection screen for the Ahead app. The screen offers three options: Monthly ($14.99/month, $0.49 per day), Quarterly ($29.99/quarter, $0.33 per day, marked as 'Most Popular'), and Yearly ($69.99/year, $0.19 per day). A 'Continue' button is at the bottom.

"They didn't used to say the quiet part out loud, but then they changed what the 'quiet part' was. What was once the 'quiet part' is now the 'loud part', and what they say quietly now is weird and scary."
Still from an episode of The Simpsons. Abe Simpson is stood in the doorway of a a 70s-styled living bedroom in the left of the frame, lecturing a young Homer Simpson and Barney Gumble to the right.

It's not for everyone and there are compromises but I replaced my 12 mini with an Oppo Find N2 that I managed to find on eBay and have been happy with the switch. Love my compact folding brick ❤️

I'm sorry but I don't think the #BBC breaking news alerts on #GregWallace deserve as many notifications on my lockscreen as the declaration of martial law in #SouthKorea 💀
Screenshot of breaking news notifications from BBC News. First notification (29 minutes ago): "South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declares martial law in unexpected late-night TV address - fol…" Second notification (1 hour ago): "BBC pulls its MasterChef Christmas specials after allegations against presenter Gregg Wallace."

A Reddit post from u/Brutal_Deluxe_ shows a photo of the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak greeting the Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni at the 50th G7 summit. The two leaders are shaking hands awkwardly, and Meloni appears to be frozen mid-gesture, looking up at Sunak with a surprised expression. The caption reads: 'The British prime minister greeting the Italian prime minister at the 50th G7 summit.' A comment below from TomSurman says: 'Italians malfunction if you prevent their hands from moving,' making a humorous observation about Italian gesturing habits.

Mum, watching Moby Dick (1956): "This whale means serious business"
The whale Moby Dick from the 1956 movie of the same name. I think it's sinking a boat.
