The bells of the Lavra rang out across Kyiv after Russia’s massive attack on the capital. A sound of faith, resilience, and survival above a city that endured another night of terror.

Olympus Mons: The Largest Mountain in the Solar System This colossal shield volcano on Mars is so enormous it redefines what a “mountain” can be.Rising roughly 22 km (about 72,000 feet) above the surrounding plains — with some measurements of local relief reaching 26 km — Olympus Mons towers nearly three times the height of Mount Everest. Its base stretches across 600 km (370 miles), roughly the size of the state of Arizona.Because of its incredible scale and the gentle slopes of a shield volcano, if you stood at its base, the summit would curve away beyond the Martian horizon. You literally couldn’t see the top from the ground.Formed by hundreds of millions of years of slow lava flows, enabled by Mars’ weaker gravity and lack of plate tectonics, this giant has no rival in our Solar System.A single mountain so vast it could swallow entire ranges on Earth — a humbling monument to the raw power of planetary geology. Mars continues to remind us how extraordinary our Solar System truly is. NASA

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-…

Nigel’s poster is going viral

Private Eye:

Mehdi Hasan slams Elon Musk, "He is obsessed with finding these cases where he can then amplify far right voices" "He doesn't just do it in England with Tommy Robinson, he does it in German with the AfD, obviously he does it in the US with Twitter" Victoria Derbyshire, "What is he seeking to do?" Mehdi Hasan, "He's seeking to embolden some of the worst far right voices in the Western world" "That's why he's funding so many people all over the place" "This is his agenda. It's a very racist agenda. We see that in the US with the Republican party" "Elon Musk amplifies some of the most neo-nazi voices on Twitter" "You can take the boy out of apartheid South Africa, can you take apartheid South Africa out of the boy?"

Trump said something outside a press gaggle that I don’t think enough people caught. A reporter called him out on the corruption. He gave three responses. 1. I have the right to do it. 2. He’s not stealing that much. A billion or two billion dollars. Not that much money. Classic Trump. 3. People don’t care. That’s the permission structure. Our collective apathy is what they’re using to justify everything happening in Washington right now. Please stand up and prove him wrong.

Well done, Gove.

RT @Care2much18: This is the dumbest tweet ever written by an American, an astonishing achievement given the depth of competition for that…

"Welcome to sewage-on-sea: Britain's most fashionable tourist hotspot Whitstable is being despoiled by floods of effluent pouring into the ocean, just as the taps in homes and businesses run dry." People in Whitstable and Kent really do get it from both ends, your sewage is dumped on to local beaches and your tap water gets cut off simply because the water company can't keep your supply running. Bloody hell. Brilliant state of the nation piece by David Jones, @DailyMail dailymail.com/news/article-1…

Less than 18 hours ago, the brave and dignified father of Henry Nowak appealed to the nation to not use his son’s death to create further division. “We want to use Henry’s heartbreaking story to make change for the better. We do not want his death to create further division, hatred or tension.” Nigel Farage clearly has different plans as he exploits that family’s unimaginable loss and pain to further his own political ambitions, and create more of the division his party is thriving on: “I suggest the rest of us respond to this with pure, cold, rage.”

Trump literally trumped the law. No one is ever going to see Donald Trump get the justice he deserves for all of the crimes he's committed. Why? It's bad. It's REALLY fucking BAD. Listen:

Britain has gotten poorer over the last decade. Brexit didn't work. Disposable income has fallen more than in other European countries and certainly more than in the US. They cut their nose off despite their economic face, a populist, nationalist, emotional decision, and now they're stuck because you can't get the same deal with the EU you once had. People are done with both parties and they want to throw the bums out. Now Farage is rising. I've met him and think he’s a con. Go read his economic proposals — some of them are hate-based, some are tribally based. Farage's broader economic proposals are populist noise that will make the country weaker and hurt the very people supporting him.

Oh here we go again. @YorkshireWater claiming they are "INVESTING" £8.3 billion between 2025 - 2030. That of course turns out to be completely untrue. The only money I can see that shareholders are putting into the business is paying back the "loan" they took, by March 2027 and the £100 million they were supposed to pay to help reduce sewage dumping by the end of March 2025. Every other damned penny of that £8.3 billion, that's £8.2 billion is being funded directly out of bill payers' pockets and not a damned thing to do with shareholders. Why are water companies allowed to tell such utter lies? Ofwat?

In 1997, Brazilian soccer player Roberto Carlos took a free kick from 35 meters against France that seemed to defy the laws of physics as it curved around a wall of defenders at an angle that seemed impossible. ⁠ ⁠ This “miracle goal” led a team of French physicists to publish a study in the journal New Journal of Physics, in which they explained that the extreme spin and speed created a “spinning spiral of the ball” that overcame gravity and air resistance.⁠

HOLY CRAP Trump actually accomplished a miracle. Here is what he got out of Iran: - Reduce its stockpile of enriched uranium by about 98% - Limit uranium enrichment to 3.67% purity (far below weapons-grade) - Cut the number of installed centrifuges by roughly two-thirds - Only enrich uranium at one declared site (Natanz) - Stop enrichment activities at Fordow and convert it into a research facility - Redesign the Arak heavy-water reactor so it could not easily produce weapons-grade plutonium - Ship out or dilute excess enriched uranium Allow extensive inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Permit continuous monitoring of nuclear facilities and supply chains - Accept “snap” inspections under expanded monitoring rules - Avoid building new heavy-water reactors for years - Stay within strict limits on uranium stockpile size and centrifuge development for set periods ranging from 10–25 years Ooops, sorry! That was the JCPOA that Obama signed with Iran, only to have him tear it up, kill 140 kids, get hundreds of Americans injured, 13 killed, and gas prices to surge 50%.
