Deeply hungover at the gym for leg day. Send help.
Jaw-dropping reporting by The Atlantic about FBI Director Kash Patel.
Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection.
So forgive me if I smell a rat.
Caitlyn Jenner, a trans woman who supported Trump for years, being left unable to travel internationally or vote due to Trump's anti-trans policies should be a stark warning to any of the anti-trans gay people out there.
The leopards will make a meal of your face too. Just wait.
There are five reasons why a mooted move against Micheál Martin seemingly ended before it began, writes Fiachra Ó Cionnaith.
#C4News last night reported on the wholesale targeting of ambulances & paramedics in Lebanon by Israel, including the recent 'triple hit', when Israel attacked an ambulance, then attacked paramedics who went to help, and then attacked further paramedics also trying to help.
I think this is the most likely explanation for what unfolded after the fact. #DonaldJChrist

Probably fine. Definitely nothing to do with the far right influence on the protests.

Who will he turn to when he has no one to turn to?

Michael Healy-Rae understood to have said "I Will Diminish, and Go Into The West, and Remain Michael Healy-Rae"

On Yom HaShoah, we pause to remember the six million Jewish victims of the Nazis’ systematic program of mass murder, along with the millions of others murdered by the Hitler regime. We remember the scale of this horror, and the systems of hatred and dehumanization that made it possible — and that still echo in our world today. In New York City, home to more Holocaust survivors than anywhere else in this country, that memory lives among us and shapes who we are. The resilience of survivors is woven into the very fabric of this city, and it calls on all of us to act with courage and clarity in the face of injustice. Today, as antisemitism rises once more, we are reminded that remembrance alone is not enough. We must confront hate wherever it appears. As we light the yahrzeit candle, let us come together to protect its fragile flame — and shield it from the cold winds of hate and cruelty. “Never again” is a promise. And it is one we must fight to keep.
