I was a finalist in the Travel Photographer of the Year competition 2024. I can now reveal the image I entered. It is an iPhone selfie taken in Cromford, Derbyshire.

Would love to talk with editors from 1998 and ask them: If Congress dropped a 50-page report detailing, with witnesses on the record, that President Clinton raped women, would you put it on the front page?

A 2025 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry, Omar Yaghi is the son of Palestinian refugees who grew up in Jordan. He just left the US to move to China after raising concerns about rising anti-immigrant sentiment, like the kind shown here. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/china-than...

I was having conversations with journalists just a few months ago about whether democracy was doomed. Look at this year: Orban defeated. Vukic defeated. Bolsonaro Jr defeated. Trump heading to likely defeat in midterms. That’s the beauty of democracy. Voters can respond. Don’t count it out yet.

When Trump folds, and the BBC wins — which will be soon — get ready for the UK to be a “shithouse country.”

Donald Trump canceled his scheduled Oct. 16 deposition in his lawsuit against the BBC because of "matters of national importance." The BBC alerts the judge that those matters were: a rally in Dalton, Ga. and a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump exhibiting bunker mentality, you could say.

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.

Yeah, just like that time the Allies supplied bombs to Hitler.

What do US military leaders* — trained to fight Russia — think about the fact they now have to support Russia? * not Hegseth, obviously.

The lettuce beat her and, amazingly, so did Scaramucci who lasted 9 days as White House press secretary.

Those motoring and mainstream journalists believing Musk's clearly ludicrous "flying car" stunt — an actual rocket-propelled Roadster 2 product will literally never get off the ground — must fall for every scam going. Must be exhausting for them.

Bike content.

Beautiful black and white photography and use of slo-mo in new/old official NUFC rendition of historic Geordie song “Blaydon Races.” youtu.be/n31nB3LfT10?...
