The BBC integrating a specific political party's branding into a live to-camera report that lists that party's main (dubious) talking points is a gross dereliction of the broadcaster's editorial duties. If you live in the UK, you can complain to the BBC: www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

Screenshot of a tweet by NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman (@astro_reid) describing filming an "Earthset" from space, comparing it to watching a sunset at the beach from "the most foreign seat in the cosmos." He notes he captured a cell phone video while fellow astronaut Christina Koch (@Astro_Christina) used a Nikon with a 400mm lens for professional shots, with Vic Glover (@AstroVicGlover) and Jeremy Hansen (@Astro_Jeremy) watching from window 3.

 Continuation of Reid Wiseman's tweet, describing how he used an iPhone with 8x zoom to capture Earth rising over the Moon's surface through the docking hatch window, noting the view is uncropped and uncut and comparable to what the human eye would see. The image shows Earth as a small bright crescent peeking over the dark, cratered lunar surface against the blackness of space.

The most amazing video ever taken on an iPhone.

An oldie, but probably my favourite Milky Way shot that I’ve taken.

This is our beautiful home galaxy over a frozen loch.

There's a huge number of untaxed 'high income/earners' in this country that should be addressed.

All income from transactions carried out in the UK should be taxed before they are distributed or disbursed.

Any income offshore should have been taxed at full income rates. No special accommodations.

Sadly, Mayor Mamdani is DESTROYING New York! It has no chance! The United States of America should not contribute to its failure. It will only get WORSE. The TAX, TAX, TAX Policies are SO WRONG. People are fleeing. They must change their ways, AND FAST. History has proven, THIS “STUFF” JUST DOESN’T WORK. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT

Trump finally turns on Mamdani, screeching that he's "DESTROYING New York!" and "the United States of America should not contribute to its failure"

The US no longer has promises. At best it has whims based on the capricious self assertion of narcissistic players.

They need to be fundamentally isolated on the world stage until their government corrects itself.

If Trump wants free movement through Hormuz, why doesn't he just nip out, part the waves and let tanker lorries run through instead?

He needs to start using his gifts to go for practical solutions, not just doubling down on idiocy.
