It's here: crucial moment in the campaign. In many seats, people will be desperate for a guide to tactical voting. Best for Britain have provided it.

Disturbing trend on TT/YT/IG: entire social channels with nonsense recipes. They're clearly narrated by AI and likely written by it, but the videos appear real. The channels have no affiliate websites, but millions of subs. It's just chaos.
Like this egg horror:

Again, a moment to pause & appreciate the cool professionalism of those in & around the Key Bridge at 1:24 am Tuesday.
Ship’s pilot radios in that ship has lost steerage & will hit bridge.

Ewen Macintosh - Macca, we called him - was in the same theatre/improv “gang” as me at Edinburgh Uni in the early 90s (I’m a few years older but we overlapped by a year or so). I was delighted he found success soon after and it’s very sad to think I’ll never see him again 😞

Today, first time in Polish TV, after 8 years of right-wing government, the LGBT+ activists appeared in live broadcast. I was seating there and heard journalist shaking voice. He made an apology after years of portraying LGBT-people a threat to Polish nation in the same studio. I was moved.. Apology an important part of reconciliation. This is Poland I want to fight for... Thank you...

Reading experts from the Trump indictment and its horrifying how only the utter incompetence of the man himself and everyone in his orbit prevented the world's only superpower sliding into civil war or dictatorship.
And we're not yet out of the woods.

If anyone still questions whether antisemitism is still a thing, I’ve only been Jewish since last night and it’s been wall to wall death threats all morning 🤷🏼♂️
My fellow gentiles; you should try it, it’s quite the eye opener

I'm enjoying the Alphabet Tree series from @Monotype. How every letter came to be.
And the series looks nice. Thinking of printing it and making it available to the children.
