I don’t know who this bloke is, but he looks like he’s stepped straight out of a different era. The suit. The tie. The beard. The confidence. A proper throwback to an England that valued character, individuality and a bit of class. 👏👍✊🇬🇧👌❤️🙏

Russian banks struggling to stay afloat now suddenly tasked with C-UAS responsibilities.

sucks ass, should be a skull with knives behind it so the aliens know what the fuck is up

Great to see that walking touch still has a place in pro rugby.

Let's face it, Prosecco is revolting. Important journalism here. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/04…

Good stuff this isnt it

Realistically, if MPs want to get their hands on alcohol they will and it’s much better if they do this legally in a safe and controlled environment than if they pick up alcohol laced with god knows what from a dealer in an alleyway

We’re living in a golden age of Fake 30 Rock Movies That Inexplicably Became Real

Zelensky making friends with all the Arab countries:

They didn’t use Ospreys because they decided that they would like the downed WSO and CSAR units to come back alive.

Oh my.

About 3 years ago, Russia received “shaheds” from the Iranian regime. These are drones designed for the low-cost destruction of the expensive critical infrastructure targets. Iran taught Russia how to launch them and gave it the technology to produce them. Russia then upgraded them. And now we have clear evidence that Iranian “shaheds” used in the region contain Russian components. So what is happening around Iran today is not a faraway war for us – because of the cooperation between Russia and Iran. And we do not believe we have the right to be indifferent – even if we are separated from human suffering or shared danger by an ocean, however big and beautiful, or by anything else. Ballistic missiles can strike at thousands of kilometers. Drones can do the same. But if evil wins, the evolution of war will cross any distance on earth – no ocean will help, no desert, no mountains. That is why it is worth helping protect life. The regimes in Russia and Iran are brothers in hatred – and that is why they are brothers in weapons. And we want regimes built on hatred to never win – in anything.

The phrase “Irish Goodbye” is a late-20th Century Americanism describing a discreet exit. It does not, nor does it intend to, describe how actual Irish people leave parties. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

As someone who has made a good chunk of their income from taking people into woodlands for recreation and outdoor education - this is such a batshit idea. 1/depends how annoyed I get

The U.S. went from Jim Mattis as Secretary of Defense in Trump's first term to Pete Hegseth today. From the "warrior monk" to "the warrior; drunk". What an astonishing downgrade.

“I am here at the scene of Glasgow Union Street fire which my BBC Verify colleagues inform me has all the hallmarks of an Israeli air strike”

Just learned about the Men’s Dress Reform Party (MDRP) established in 1929, who wanted to increase the variety and choice in men's clothing. These guys were ahead of their time. (Although I gather some were quite eugenicy, so not great obvs.)

No, you can’t get away with that.

If you know anyone who likes to romanticize the past before the Industrial Revolution, show them this chart. Today, if a man is under 5'6, he's considered unusually short. But that would have been unusually tall for practically all of European history until the twentieth century. Germans have gained over half a foot on average since the generation born in the 1850s! What made this possible? Freedom, which liberated the power of the reasoning human mind to invent better nutrition, cleaner water, and modern medicine that allowed man to grow—literally.
