In one day, two politicians - Bolsonaro in Brazil and Vucic in Serbia - with ties to Trump have lost surprise elections thanks to high turnout. The rise of the international far-right is not inevitable.

Every bit as wonderful as you'd expect, and more. I yearn to be able to write like these guys. YEARN. Ghosts: The Possession of Button House (2026) at the cinema.

GHOSTS: THE POSSESSION OF BUTTON HOUSE is a totally gorgeous movie! 🎥 🍿 I loved every second, it’s so funny and kind-hearted, and it’s got a strong Spielberg vibe running through it in the best way. An absolute triumph, and a perfect family movie for half-term and Halloween. Get your tickets now!

Forgot the ALT text!! The earth rotating, mostly showing the night side. A thin line of green aurora borealis can be seen near the pole, while orange city lights mark the outlines of countries and continents.

This is absolutely horrible! A nonverbal student with special needs was walking to Santa Maria High School when ICE agents tackled him, restrained him, and left him with a broken wrist requiring surgery, according to witnesses and school officials.

Dreadful decision. The oil companies lied and lied about global warming. They knew what would happen but put profits first. This will not reduce your energy bills but will increase Shell’s profits. The plutocrats have won. Vote Green when you can like your life depends on it - because it does.

Today's decision by Labour to approve new drilling in the North Sea is climate vandalism. It's a betrayal of all of our futures, and Labour has abandoned all credibility in the fight against climate change. This is a victory for Shell over the people. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.

I said in my speech to conference, the RNLI are the best of us. For those lucky enough to have parents volunteering with RNLI, I hope they feel nothing but pride in their parents.

So I'm still recovering from the excitement of seeing my favourite band on their European tour, and they have a new album coming out the day before my birthday, and their last album ( @homefreeguys.bsky.social #ChallengeTheSea ) is up for consideration at the Grammys. Get some fun in your life!

Company behind Scotland’s biggest data centre proposal is owned by the treasurer of the UK Conservative party via British Virgin Islands. It could receive £23m public subsidy. BVI facilitates opacity and tax avoidance. Successive UK govts have defended the use of tax havens by wealthy elites.
