Apparently the UK Home Office tweeted this.

It's both sad and stupid. Bigoted Farage voters won't be tempted over to Labour by inferred racism. And with a first-past-the-post electoral system Labour will bleed votes to Greens and Your Party which will wipe them […]

Screenshot of tweet from the UK Home Office: “Britain welcomes migrants who contribute to our economy and society. High earners, entrepreneurs and skilled frontline workers like NHS staff will be fast-tracked to settlement - rewarding those who give, not take.”

No context flight map.
Context: a flight map centred on Venezuela. Many aircraft are in the air above neighbouring countries. Zero over Venezuela.

I'd been wanting to try vegan blue cheese for a long time and finally saw it for sale. The photo on the packaging looked great but when I opened it up at home - not so great.

Does anyone know if this us safe to eat?

The concept of 'return to sender' doesn't exist in Germany where every letterbox has a surname on it and you only receive the letter if it matches.

I did however get sent this hideous plate about half a year ago from my mother. When she visited a few months later […]

Trump still sore about Letterman's Trump or Monkey segments decades later.

Trump post: Whatever happened to the highly overrated David Letterman, whose ratings were never very good, either. He looks like hell, but at least he knew when to quit. LOSER!!!

Good: Australia recognising the State of Palestine, alongside Britain and Canada.

Weird: Penny Wong is listed as "Minister fot Foriegn Affairs" on the press release (two spelling mistakes in one job title). It was published by the BBC website but is it genuine?
JOINT STATEMENT ANTHONY ALBANESE Prime Minister of Australia PENNY WONG Leader of the Government in the Senate. Minister fot Foriegn Affairs Effective today, Sunday the 21st of September 2025, the Commonwealth of Australia formally recognises the independent and sovereign State of Palestine. In doing so, Australia recognises the legitimate and long held aspirations of the people of Palestine to a state of their own. Australia's recognition of Palestine today, alongside Canada and the United Kingdom, is part of a co-ordinated international effort to build new momentum for a two-state solution, starting with a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of the hostages taken in the atrocities of October 7, 2023. Today's act of recognition reflects Australia’s longstanding commitment (0: two-state solution, which has always been the only path to enduring peace and security for the Israeli and the Palestinian peoples. ‘The international community has set out clear requirements for the Palestinian Authority. “The President of the Palestinian Authority has restated its recognition of Israel’ right to exist, and given direct undertakings to Australia, including commitments to hold democratic elections and enact significant reform to finance, governance and education. etc 2 Sepember 2025

David Pope captures it beautifully.
Cartoon by David Pope titled "Tall Poppy Syndrome". ABC reporter John Lyons stands holding a microphone amongst reporters bowing flat sycophantically before Donald Trump. Trump points at him and says "Tell the Australian Prime Minister to weed thus one out."

Russia says it had no plans to target Poland; just like the 'Little Green Men' in Crimea weren't Russian soldiers (until they were) and the 1000s of 'Z' marked tanks and soldiers etc were only on the Ukrainian border for exercises (until they weren't).
BBC headline: Live. Russia says it had no plans to target Poland as Nato condemns 'reckless' drone incursions.
