When I was a kid, I thought the #UniversityChallenge teams were actually positioned one on top of the other, like bunk beds. Ridiculous. But I still can't unsee. – at Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Ireland

Today marks the anniversary of "Biko", released as a single in 1980 following Peter's third album which features the song. This video was created in support of the film Cry Freedom in 1987.

This still hasn’t been located. Someone not on Twitter/X may have it. The place is crawling with Dubs and other visitors, so ask any of your pals if they have it — they may not know who lost it, or how to get it back. Contact Geraldine if it’s found, and please RT. Thank you.
A young girl has lost her cochlear implant on curracloe beach Wexford this weekend. It seems someone may have found it as it’s last location has pinged on this map. If anyone has it, finds it or hears where it is please do get in touch. Thanks

My lovely late Mum loved #CallTheMidwife and we always watched it together on Sundays. Tonight was always going to be sad, but Sister Monica Joan's passing had me in ribbons. Thank you to everyone involved in the show.

Gary Lineker is speaking facts about Jim Ratcliffe. "The guy's a migrant himself, an economic migrant, he lives in Monaco. You can have a gripe all you like, but at least be here, pay taxes, and contribute to our society."

Goldberg: Do you think JD Vance is a fascist? Buttigieg: If it’s convenient for him to be a fascist, he’ll be a fascist. Maybe later on he’ll go back to being a Silicon Valley Democrat. He’ll be whatever he needs to be.

Hi @VirginMediaIE - recent upgrade works in my area have resulted in this message when I try to access Netflix on channel 300 (part of my package). The Customer Service number autot-ells me that my wait time is 50 minutes. Can I arrange a call-back?

Replying to @elonmusk
Nonsense. 1. NYC doesn't have voter ID laws 2. In New York, the state, multiple parties can endorse the same candidate, so some can appear multiple times. Sliwa, the Republican, is also listed twice! 3. Eric Adams is on the ballot because he dropped out too late 4. Cuomo lost the primary, and ran as an indy, and ballots list major party candidates first Maybe you don't like the rules. Fine. But posting this stuff on X with zero context makes people think there is fraud or cheating. These are just the rules being applied to candidates evenly.

Genuine question to reform or Tory voters. Which of these rights don't you want?

If anyone has a Vikings Dublin ticket (or 2) for sale at face value please hook me up. Husband is a Minnesotan in Ireland and I tried to get tickets but have failed so far. (He also has cancer, would be a nice gift for him in the midst of madness!)

We are witnessing with despair the iniquitous use of hunger as a weapon of war. Burning crops, stealing livestock, and blocking aid are tactics increasingly used by armed militias. As civilians languish in misery, political elites grow fat with impunity. It is time to sanction these abuses and hold accountable those who are responsible for it.

THE UNTOUCHABLES was released 38 years ago this week. One of the most acclaimed gangster films of the 1980s, the behind the scenes story is full of fascinating facts. 1/34
