This is a good day to talk about our southern neighbours and their revolution, not out of a desire to insult them on a day that should be full of hotdogs, bunting and fireworks, but because our history is shared and we too often let their version of events into our brains. 1/19

1. London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers. After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

Lots of people are talking about this study, this headline, this picture (!), and ultra-processed foods. It’s been my job for 25 years to understand nutrition. I think there are 5 - count ‘em, 5! - things that you need to know about UPFs and health. Here they are. 🧵 bsky.app/profile/cnn....

a) We fucking called this before Roe fell ffs LISTEN TO US b) if they win this will set our whole society back to the 1950s or earlier. Workplace equality? Sexual freedom? What??? THIS MUST BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS AN ALL HANDS ON DECK ISSUE c) (see next skeet)

I will never forget the experience of seeing LEAVING NEVERLAND at its Sundance premiere. For @avclub.com I wrote about a devastating, definitive documentary about surviving sexual abuse that cannot be erased.

It's harder to measure but I feel like RFK Jnr shutting down funding for MRNA research is actually up there with DOGE cuts and this latest Iranian war as a contender for Most Evil Things Trump II has done. Accounted properly, this regime is really wracking up 20th-century-dictator kill counts imo.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

This war may end up the most devastating thing that happens to the US and the world in the 21st century (or, maybe TACO Tuesday, though I doubt it). It's definitely a moment for people in institutions to do something. For us, is it time to panic? I'd love to hear theories of why not. 14/14

This is amongst the most impactful two minutes of broadcasting I’ve ever seen. By Emma Murphy, International Editor, ITV News. #Gaza

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

Very disturbing implications for a couple of places where I’ve lived, and encouraging ones for the place where I’m from. From Pew: “We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country.”

Well.

Taking an anti-vaccination stances against a treatment that saves the life of ONE IN FIVE HUNDRED KIDS and has no verified deaths involving healthy recipients is not just anti-science and anti-logic, it's evil. I have studied this disease too extensively to soften that word. It's just evil.

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

At Whipple where expired dicks are being thrown at ICE vehicles and those believed to be agitators. The area has been a place of protest since thousands of federal agents arrived in the city. Near Minneapolis February 7, 2026

I read the “SAVE Act” (the GOP’s new voter suppression bill) so you don’t have to. This is my one page summary. Jesus it’s bad. 1/

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Poilievre just told #CP26 "There's never been a referendum crisis or a national unity crisis when Conservatives have been in power It's an interesting coincidence isn't it" False. BQ was the product of Mulroney's time in office. Borden - WWI conscription crisis. Sir John - Louis Riel. C'mon man.

fwiw i think his obsession with the nobel prize is entirely about obama getting it (setting aside whether or not obama ought to have received it)

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks: I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

Trump just shared this alarming text from Israeli Ambassador Mike Huckabee, effusively praising him while telling him that no president has been in his position "since Truman in 1945" (when the U.S. dropped the atomic bomb on Japan) & that he "will hear a voice from heaven" telling him what to do.

The Israeli campaign might well be necessary - but preventive wars carry great moral and practical risks. My latest in @theatlantic.com www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Breaking news from the can't-make-this-shit-up desk: The same folks who are certain that Fauci caused COVID by funding people to study bats in a Biosafety Level 4 facility now want to import 400 ostriches with the goddamn bird flu from Canada so they can live on Dr. Oz's ranch.

Geologists had been monitoring the glacier, one of many at risk of collapse in the Alps due to climate change. This video captured the 3.5 million m³ of ice, rock & snow which buried Blatten yesterday (May 28). The collapse caused a pressure wave felt kilometers away. (🎥 Weather Monitors)

Hi, I worked in reality TV when Duck Dynasty was ascendant, I’ve seen some nasty shit pitched and produced. (Shout out to MTV for producing the awful “Friendzone”) This is by far the worst, most exploitative pitch I have ever heard.

This is another whole front of terrible strings with terrible consequences that isn't making the news much.
