Speaking about the deep contradictions in human nature, Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada said:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one barely use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about the relatives still in their lives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have a partner often fail to appreciate them. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the full complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.

The key to happiness is gratitude—to truly see and value what we already have, and to understand that somewhere, someone would give everything for what we take for granted.”

Stephen Colbert on the ICE murder of Renee Good: “The message from this administration is clear. Only they determine the truth. And when their forces come to your city, obey or die. And if you die, you clearly didn’t obey. This should be an alarm bell for the entire country.”

@holland_tom @TheRestHistory Hi Tom: I do trust that @TheRestHistory will be drawing on @montypython 's highly dramatic, charged, and unDOUBTedly historically accurate rendition of The Death of Mary Queen of Scots as part of your terrific series.

A new YouTube series: announcing Bite Size Bible.
A series of easy-to-digest film episodes (average 3 minutes) where I read and discuss a passage of the Bible.

When China is posting Reagan videos to make its point you know how batshit crazy the world has gone

@Peston In the UK when we realised we had elected to power an unhinged lunatic. We got rid of Liz Truss. Can’t the Americans do the same? Enough 🙏🏻

"Brexit has ruined this country, and now the majority of Britons thinks so too."

RT if you are that majority.

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret Given the expected rise in job losses due to AI, isn't it time for governments to take Universal Basic Income seriously? (16th time of asking. I'm keeping count)

It’s stuff like this that makes me think Brexit’s shelf life will be shorter than anyone thinks. Whole sections of the British right are going to start peeling off from Brexitism over the next five years - and that will shift the debate.

[Dr Krish Kandiah OBE @krishk]

Requisitioning the Christian faith to support nationalistic ideologies is unacceptable. Loving your neighbour is a fundamental teaching of the Christian faith; to misrepresent it is either ignorance or deception.

Podcaster and former minister @RoryStewartUK has ended up in a spat with JD Vance, with the US Vice President guessing his IQ.

Was he right, asks @JonnyDymond #R4Today

Scandalous that customers have to pay through the nose for the shocking failings of water companies.

Ministers have to realise this endless cycle of failure and customers paying for it will continue until Ofwat is replaced by a new regulator that will clamp down on these firms.
