When Linus asked me how he could make the world a better place, it made me think: What could the world look like if more adults asked that question every day?

The president of the United States just signed an accord with the name if his country misspelled as "Unites States". This is the level of competence we expect.

It's absolutely astonishing that someone could solve a Rubik's cube in under 5 seconds, even more so when it's a six-year-old girl. Mind blowing video clips. But then awkward and unsettling questions about her tough training regime start to form...

The “jaw-dropping” El Niño currently heating up the planet has burst through the highest temperature ever recorded for the phenomenon, several months before its expected peak.

Good morning 🌞 Is anyone interested?

‘Really helpful’: the AI bootcamps aimed at addressing UK youth unemployment

I wasn't much of a fan of Ed Milliband when he was Labour leader. Wrong Milliband? But he's more than making up for it now. Very welcome move, long overdue.

How have humans reshaped the world’s land over the last 12,000 years? Over thousands of years, humans have gradually transformed the Earth’s surface — clearing land for agriculture (crops and grazing animals) and building settlements.

I like the look of this graph.

If a political leader threatens to bomb civilian infrastructure (bridges, power plants), and later civilian infrastricture is bombed, which body is responsible for investigating potential war crimes?

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

It's a start.

Looks like a fair summary.

Care workers fearing for their lives while a violent mob burns cars and houses and throws bricks and stones at windows. Utterly disgusting behaviour. I look forward to the prosecutions and the sentencing of those thoughtless thugs.

“Quick - dangerous ideologies are storming the beaches. Has anyone reserved a sun-lounger?” asks STEWART LEE www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

The world has become much more resilient to disaster events over the last century. In the chart here, you can see estimates of average death rates — measured as the number of deaths per 100,000 people — by decade since the early 20th century.

Men are too emotional to be president.

Hitting that perfect combination of hilarious satire and cutting commentary, thank you Stewart Lee. Reform councillors, swastika tattoos and Barnsley bin collections: it's all covered.

I bomb you, I bomb you not. I bomb you, I bomb you not. I bomb you, I bomb you not.

Trump yesterday: we will clear the mines and unblock the strait of Hormuz. Trump today: the US will blockade the strait of Hormuz. Trump tomorrow: we have renamed it the strait of Trump's imaginary glory.

This is so well done. 👌

I love this so much.

36% is too damn high.

"Trump looks like a frightened man; frightened of failure in Iran; frightened of the collapse of domestic support; frightened maybe of those still-unissued Epstein files" www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

So much winning...

This animated globe by @tylermorganwall gives us a rather immersive view of global population. I particularly love how clear the "empty hemisphere" appears.

6 days ago, Trump to the UK: "We don’t need people that join Wars after we’ve already won!". Trump today: please send ships to help sort out the mess I created. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/ck...
