It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him.
The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK.
The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

I'm looking to ditch google workspace for an alternative #email provider with my custom domains.
Currently considering Mailbox.org, Fastmail, and Soverin.
Proton also looks nice but I don't like using their bridge with my
Apple mail and calendar apps (also not sure how that would work on iPhone).

Meanwhile the brits know that the real monsters go straight to xmas decorations in the first half of October
The numbers just don’t add up, how can a continent that had people for basically a fortnight and a quarter have that many skeleton.
The European mind can't comprehend how many skeletons are coming out of the ground on North American lawns this time of the year

Checking out MIA airport on google maps for my upcoming trip and spotted several Aeroflot aircraft.
Google claims imagery is from 2025, so either they are full of BS or there's really a bunch of sanctioned country's aircraft rotting away in the swamp.
