For the first time in 10 years, a child has died from measles in the United States.

Vaccines prevent measles.

Americans need to hear our top health officials say clearly: every child in America should get vaccinated against this terrible disease.

Great to hear @bbcradio4.bsky.social Today programme follow up on our @theguardian.com investigation into the TV crisis this morning.

Broadcasters, big production companies - speak to me about it!

NEW: There’s a crisis in the TV industry. People with 10, 20 even 30 years experience are now stacking shelves, working in pubs, using up savings - even selling houses.

It’s the talk of the TV world. An industry crisis in plain sight.

Many factors at play - but this is not normal.

Story:
Senior TV producers take shelf-stacking jobs as UK industry remains in crisis
Experienced figures doing entry-level roles amid prolonged work drought since Covid and rise of online content

Sam Payne is one of the the coaches I work with at Kewford Eagles pan disability football, and last week, he lost his son at the age of just 19.

The family have now been hit by funeral costs of thousands of pounds. If you have a spare pound, it'd be appreciated.

Feel free to repost. Thank you.

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.

Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

Adjusted for inflation, a #cinema ticket in 2025 is at its cheapest in more than a decade. So why do we all think it’s more expensive?
A cinema ticket has rarely been cheaper in the modern day – so why doesn’t it feel like it?

THREAD OF OCCASIONAL FILM AND TV RECOMMENDATIONS for 2025.

One of my favourite 1980s movies, John Sayles’ Matewan (1987), has just landed on Amazon Prime. I’ve been waiting *years* for it to finally show up on a streaming service so that more people could see it. #FilmRecs25

As we again approach Holocaust Memorial Day, we again ask:

“Are we there yet?”

Forget excuses, deflections, “Godwin’s Law”…

No, we’re not there yet.

But we will be.

Unless we stop those working to take us there.

Here’s a letter from Peter, to his sister and her husband, to remind us.

Hardly worth debunking this xenophobic garbage from Telegraph.

FWIW they seem to to have taken the (implausible) upper bound of @pewresearch.org's old, completely debunked estimate (1.2 m) and then assigning a % of those to London.

And then got London's actual population wrong!
