They're just little guys. You can look at them for free and you can look at them up close if you pay for Bird Premium (binoculars or camera). They're just doing behaviors. They will never email you.
Well, at least the BBC is covering this.
I thought it was a visual commentary on American foreign policy
One reason that we cannot have professional diplomats representing the interests of the United States is that it would disrupt a pattern of personal enrichment for the Presidents allies and families.
So Palantir are like Fascist fascists i see yeah maybe we shouldn’t integrate the nazi computer into the NHS
Low information voters is one thing. Low information presidents are much worse.
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."
OOP
New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'

Even more pertinent. How about examining the misogyny that looks at highly experienced, highly competent women candidates and thinks, "Nah! I'd rather have the racist, Nazi clown show than a woman"?
End-stage capitalism.
(For comparison, tickets for the UEFA in Germany two years ago included free public transport.)
The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow.
Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance.
Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.
I think there’s a part of him that is ‘keep drinking, king, you’re not ready to face how wholly inadequate you are in this role sober!’ and I would like to thank that part.
I’m sorry he got so blackout drunk they had to ask for SWAT door busting equipment?!
the president of the united states is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system
📌NPR has received two of the largest gifts in the public media network's existence, totaling $113 million.
This is something called a "good news" story.
I'd die without NPR, I really would.
The only president or major party candidate in half a century not to disclose his tax returns—who fought for years, at taxpayer expense, to keep them private, and lost—now wants the IRS to MORE THAN DOUBLE HIS NET WORTH at taxpayer expense as a part of the systematic pillaging he calls a presidency.
My mothers very frequently drive 400km in one stretch (with a quick loo and coffee break halfway) in their EV with no issues. When they reach my house, they still have enough charge to potter around Sydney, or I just plug their car in and let the solar charge it for free. So easy!
Farage thugs manhandle man with pacemaker after he objects to the Reform leader's chauffeur parking in disabled bay that he needs to use.

“The Nazis may write like schoolboys, but they're capable of anything. That's just why they're so dangerous. People laugh at them, right up to the last moment...”

🧵 I grew up when the BBC >tried< to be neutral & unbiased*. We knew it wasn’t on Northern Ireland, but on many other things, particularly foreign reporting, it was better than Irish state TV. In the past decade it has been so interfered with that it’s now a vehicle for conspiracy & pseudoscience [1]
I’m so relieved I am too old to ever need to know anything about this poor kiddo.
“At a time when disability is misunderstood and vilified, Ryan offers a vision of how much disabled women already contribute to society and how much more might be possible.”
With WHO WANTS NORMAL? paperback out tomorrow, here’s a v kind review from The Observer: www.theguardian.com/books/2025/a...
Kirsty is one of the most personable comedians at #MICF26. Go and see her if you like your comedy to be like a warm hug (with maybe a sneaky poke in the ribs here and there, but mostly if you're her wife).
Hyperscalers have been telling us for years: our products will replace you, render you obsolete, use all your resources, increase your bills, funnel wealth to the already obscenely wealthy, and render your learning redundant.
Can't imagine why people aren't loving this fortune.com/2026/04/14/a...
And deliver a worse result also needs to be mentioned on that list. But yeah, time to embrace being an actual Luddite (quite different to the casual interpretation of the term)
This is not going to be understood by a lot of lefties - but there is a wedge to be made in the Australian mining sector where BHP, Rio Tinto and Fortescue are on one side (essentially all have exited fossil fuels except for BHP with metallurgical coal which can't be replaced yet) vs everyone else.
ICE agent tells the New York Times they were nervous showing up in Minneapolis and how they travelled with “girly suitcases” to not be detected.
A Senior ICE official details how officers would block in and kidnap United State Citizens.

I have never in my life heard the original version of Brimful of Asha. Love the Fatboy Slim remix; but the original makes you realise how shrill it makes Tjinder's voice sound, and diminishes the impact of the lyrics, a celebration of Hindi cinema
