Part II of the Sullivan report is out today. It contains details of what I and many others were put through in UK Universities to make pedestrian points about human biology and its medical and social impacts on well-being and interests. The point is not the harms to us,

šŸ”„BREAKING: Every single House Democrat just stood united on the Capitol steps. JEFFRIES: ā€œThat is why EVERY. SINGLE. Democrat will vote HELL NO on this one big ugly bill.ā€ The party that defends your healthcare, your food, your future - just made their stand. And it’s badass.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment: Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand; Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else

Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a deal with the devil. It hikes up taxes on people making less than $50,000 while cutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits to give Elon Musk and greedy billionaires a huge tax break. You do the math. Is that worth it to you?

Needed to do some work on the train home so shelled out for a first class ticket. Where I’m sitting on the floor! Honestly, I travel the world by train and so many countries get it so right. Why can’t we? 😢

I remember crying in a faculty meeting in Cambridge. Two thoughts. When I walked out (to disguise it) ,only one guy came out to find out if I was ok. I still remember, GH, thank you. The other is can’t we let people cry? Maybe it is the right reaction.

.Tim Miller: "USAID got shut down officially on Monday. The harm is done. A future president could come back in and restart USAID but things change, the world moves on, and it becomes very challenging to put these complex systems back together in a way that they worked before."

I made a conscious decision today: do not use any photo of the Chancellor of the Exchequer in tears on p1. Many outlets will revel in her turmoil, but I just can’t and refuse to. My reasons are myriad: I know the critics will hammer me, but chief among them: be kind. Be decent.

I love the Americans. They're fantastic, hard-working people who can keep up small talk indefinitely. As a Finn, this can sometimes feel intimidating. That’s why it saddens me to see the country being hijacked by snake oil salesmen who are rapidly turning it into an oligarchy.

Gaza has run out of fuel. Reserves are gone. The last drops are being rationed to keep bare-minimum services alive. No fuel means no water, no food distribution, no health care, no telecoms — 2.1 million lives on the brink. This is no longer a logistical issue — it is life or

I asked Afghan women and girls to share what their daily life is like now that the Taliban has banned schools and employment. Over 40 responded. Starting tomorrow, their stories will take over my timeline. You will hear directly from them in their own words.
