There’s a Japanese saying that I love:
“If you feel like you’re losing everything, remember, trees lose their leaves every year, yet they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.”
BBC: “What was your screen time?”
Student: “Nine hours.”
BBC: “You’re gong to have a lot more time to fill. What will you do?”
Student: “Stare at a wall.”
If you just got rejected from a final round and feel defeated, take a few days off. You cannot interview well if you have zero confidence. Rest, reset, and go again!
@jayjayrayyyy The fact that you saved this pic to your phone and ran over twitter crying that you can't see their faces is exactly why Leigh-Anne doesn't show the twins' faces online.
These politicians have no idea what’s in store of them. The way they’re bending over for these tech oligarchs that have their own agenda. One day they’re going to show their true colours and start defying governments globally. They just want to be totally relied on first
@trulyraee And how does that negate the fact that Angelista's kiss with Simba embarrassed Ope? Everyone knows Ope acted like a fool. Angelista rightly made him grovel, with the expectation he wouldn't do it again.
You're letting your dislike of Ope cloud your judgement.
Sorry, but it's unfair for Angelista to call out Ope for embarrassing her, only to then kiss Simba on the terrace in full view of the other islanders, effectively doing the same thing herself. It's hypocritical imo.

Kevin Maguire: "After the attack on the Liverpool football parade & it was a white guy, middle class, former royal marine, no-one went after other white, middle class former marines & set this person represents that entire group"
After Belfast, I’ve been looking at some of the most extreme accounts flooding UK discussions.
A striking number appear to have little or no genuine connection to the communities they’re commenting on, yet they’re relentlessly amplifying division, anger and far-right narratives.
Meanwhile, X’s algorithm rewards outrage because outrage drives engagement.
At what point do we stop pretending this is an organic public conversation and start asking whether anonymous networks, bots, and location-masked accounts are helping inflame tensions in Britain?
The Government cannot keep ignoring the role social media platforms play in amplifying social unrest. #Belfast
Notice the silence from Farage, Kemi et al. They can’t even bring themselves to condemn the violence which has also affected white people in Belfast who they claim to care about. Guess they’re just collateral damage in the culture war.
