Just when you thought the Russell Brand saga couldn’t get any worse:

This seems like a great time to reshare my favourite Sir Patrick Stewart performance, ‘What has the ECHR ever done for us?’ It’s just perfect in every possible way … including the ending 😂😂😂 RIP.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

Ukraine wants to end the war by making it unsustainable for Russia by hitting energy and digital infrastructure. Russia wants to force Ukraine to surrender my murdering civilians—and apparently the Trump admin agrees.
I spoke with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney. Thank you, Canada! I briefed him on the latest Russian strike on Kyiv and no advance warning from our partners about the ballistic missile launch. This is the second time Ukraine has received no warning this week.
A rescue operation is underway – the strike damaged a residential building, and the fire engulfed apartments on the first through eighth floors. All emergency services are on the scene, and residents are being evacuated. So far, one person has been reported killed and six injured. My condolences to their families and loved ones.
There was also a strike on the grounds of an energy facility – one of Kyiv’s main power plants. We are counting on our partners’ support.
We also discussed contacts with the United States and diplomatic developments that may take place this week. It is important that the world clearly supports an end to this war and real steps toward de-escalation – genuine steps that Russia will actually take to bring its war and its killings to an end.

Why should I trust Starlink when it can be down graded at anytime on Musks whims!!?!?!
amanda LG retweeted
Fuck off if you think any sane country or person is going to use Starlink now.
How to kill a brand.

Seriously considering cancelling my subscription after the shit they just pulled on Ukraine. Russian Trump loving pricks

Tell that to Ukrainians. Musk is a piece of shit.

Looks like Starlink is not that reliable. teapawt.net/sternenko/status/21102…
❗️Last night, the operation of Starlink terminals in Ukraine was restricted.
Connectivity began to drop when moving at speeds exceeding 160 km/h. As a result, a number of critical missions were disrupted.
SpaceX likely took these measures at the request of the Trump administration. Also last night, when Kyiv was attacked by ballistic missiles, Ukraine did not receive intelligence regarding their launch— a failure that could have led to higher casualties.
Ukraine did not attack Russian oil refineries, yet Trump has already begun imposing sanctions on my country. Meanwhile, sanctions against Russia have been eased.

I'm afraid that I have to announce, with great sadness, that I must rescind my British citizenship. Because, earlier today, I got a taxi home and I failed to say 'Anywhere round here will do, mate, cheers' at the end. I have failed myself and more importantly, I have failed you.

So, today's @ObserverUK didn't publish any letters in response to that painful article last week attacking the WTA sex testing policy.
Even this one, apparently.
Shame, because I think it's spot on. 🤔

Brexit enthusiasts: I hope you’re all enjoying the queues at your holiday airports this year.

Actor Sam Neill was asked what was the greatest lesson he learned from his parents.
He recalled his mother’s simple but profound advice:
“Sometimes you just have to pull yourself together. It’s a tough lesson, but it’s a good one.”
Wise words from a man who lived his life with grace and dignity.
Rest in peace, Sam Neill.

This man was banned because of his nationality and for no other reason. FIFA did nothing to help him, not even lodge a protest. Ugh bbc.co.uk/sport/football/art…

Not sure how anyone could vote for a political party that spouts this kind of legally illiterate - and frankly, stupid - guff. Does anyone in the Liberal Democrats actually know what ‘the rule of law’ means? 🤪
The new EHRC Code of Practice is not fit for purpose. It does not provide clear guidance, it does not do enough to protect everyone from discrimination and harassment and it is not compatible with longstanding British values.
