"Accidentally" giving £10billion of government money to companies owned by your mates isn't "waste", it's fraud.

@UKRRichard @FIFAWorldCup Argentina should be disqualified for breaking #FIFA rules. FIFA have very strict rules around bringing in politics onto football grounds.
A fine is NOT enough.

ARGENTINA INCITED HATRED & WAR

It’s my opinion Argentina should be banned from the final for this banner.
They have been given a £20k fine for doing exactly this before in 2014 and haven’t learned a lesson!

All sports should be politics free, it’s against the rules! @FIFAWorldCup

The 25th was made for this moment.

It won't be used because Trump nominated cowards.

Impeachment was made for this moment.

It won't be used because America elected cowards.

The federal courts were made to stop this.

They won't because lifetime appointments reward cowardice.

Old people here bang on about how hot '76 was even though it was just a tiny pocket of intense heat hovering just over England, and the rest of the world was colder.

In 1976, London had 14 days over 30°C.

This year, 2026, we've had *at least* 22 days over 30°C in London, *so far*, and it's only mid July,

@BBCNews Argentina should be disqualified for breaking #FIFA rules 👍 FIFA have very strict rules around bringing in politics onto football grounds 👍

A reminder of what we’re witnessing:

• Measles is surging
• Cyclospora has reached record levels
• New World screwworm has returned after nearly 60 years

Investing in science, surveillance, and public health is far less costly than responding to a crisis.

if you have either #longcovid or #mecfs and are thinking about giving up please let’s first have a talk.
I do online consultations with everyone in the world on an entirely voluntary fee, so affordable to everyone.
If you think you’re done, have a thought for a consultation. I don’t make promise, but I simply don’t think this is the right time to give up!

[tern @1goodtern]

Oh my word.
I hadn't seen this before.

Annual 'unruly passenger' reports from the FAA.

It's exactly the kind of thing you'd expect to see if Covid infections cause problems with the parts of the brain that regulate behaviour.
And that's all the brain, by the way.

Russian code is inside the White House app, which is now mandated on all government phones. The company behind the code is growing. Its founders bank at sanctioned Russian banks. And its accountant has a criminal history. My investigation:

The world is barrelling headlong into environmental collapse, and instead of doing something to stop it, we're doing all the things to accelerate it.

[ThePOTSPostman @ThePOTSPostman]

When it comes to chronic illness, people love to say, “Everyone is dealing with something.”

Sure.

But not everyone has to prove what they’re dealing with to doctors, employers, insurance companies, relatives and strangers before they’re believed.

[Moose Woman 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💚🤍💜 @moretaredstar]

@fillthewhole Yeah and how HCWs now scoff, mock, and belittle patients still wearing masks. Funny that never gets mentioned either.

[Lara - Covid is Airborne @fillthewhole]

Got to laugh at all these big accounts going on about the PPE scandal & all the poor HCWs unprotected ‘during’ Covid while they say nothing about the ongoing SARS-Cov2 pandemic that’s still killing & disabling daily. You’re f*cking pathetic.

[John Bourscheid 🇺🇸 🚀 @bourscheid]

Same side of the Pool. Multiple 10-ton vehicle tracks. Zero cuts. Not even any blue paint. If you still believe that Trump didn’t destroy the Reflecting Pool driving across it for a low-energy photo op, then congratulations loser, you’re the mark.

[tern @1goodtern]

How hot is it this year in the UK?

The chart below from the Guardian today showed the the number of days of 30°C heat in London each year.

I then added this year:

[Denis - The COVID info guy - @BigBadDenis]

A study of 1 million+ grandparents (2020-2022) reveals birthday parties drive COVID risk. Seniors faced a 9.9% higher risk of having a positive test result for SARS-CoV-2 after a grandchild's birthday, increasing to 15% risk following a preschooler’s party

[The Halfway Post @HalfwayPost]

BREAKING: Donald Trump is reportedly furious the Reflecting Pool contractors drained it during the day so everyone can see the tire tracks from when his motorcade drove over it before the sealant was totally cured, and now everyone knows he's been lying for weeks about vandals.
