You know how bananas are radioactive but only a tiny bit so it's fine to have a bunch of them lying around. But keeping, like, one billion bananas could fatally irradiate you. I propose we do this to money.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
NEW: Metadata from the “raw” Epstein prison video shows approximately 2 minutes and 53 seconds were removed from one of two stitched-together clips. The cut starts right at the “missing minute.”

Rolling Stone has excerpted an essay from my forthcoming book. It's about what happens when you get all of your info about the world from the TV (cops are heroes!), and then go out into the world and see for yourself. www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

So, Wes Streeting, private health firms have given you shedloads of money without expecting anything in return and it’s only a coincidence that you want more un-evidence-based, expensive NHS privatisation?
FFS, Labour, after 14 years of Tory lies, people deserve better than this.

Wes Streeting.
The conflict of interest is off-the-scale.
What the f**k is Starmer and Labour playing at?
Evidence shows NHS privatisation is 1) more expensive, and 2) has worse outcomes for patients.
Also, voters have never given their permission.

This video has had a lot of views on TikTok. Thought you’d like to see it too…

Ten years ago nobody in their right mind gave a single crap where trans people went to the toilet and the only reason anyone does now is because they were radicalised by Facebook and a handful of insane newspaper columnists and that’s just embarrassing all round

This is phenomenal.
Sea surface temperatures are >5C above average to the west of the UK and around Iceland. It's the strongest area of anomalous warmth on the planet at the moment.
It's the warmest in recorded history for northwest Europe.

BRADFORD CITY got promoted in bananas fashion with a 90(+6)th minute winner at the weekend so we thought we'd do some doodles to celebrate/commemorate and also maybe upset some people 🧵

After beating Accrington tonight, Bradford City have 53 points after 30 games - their most at this point of any season since 1998-99 when they were promoted to the Premier League.
Eight home league wins in succession for the first time since January 1968 ✅ #bcafc #bantams

My relationship with Big wasn’t the only thing I blew up that day. At the Trinity test site I detonated the first plutonium bomb, unleashing a 22 kiloton blast. Had I become Death, destroyer of worlds? Meanwhile uptown, Samantha had her hands full with her own “Manhattan project”

Mark my words. Those who are made to feel they are a "burden" in our monetised society will disproportionately agree to be assisted to die: women, the disabled, the chronically ill... If in a few years' time the figures are not skewed towards these people, I will be amazed.
