@AllisonPearson Because that would mean having to include the arrest off two white males being arrested for raping two non white women, in two separate incidents wouldn't it Allison. And after #bbcqt you'd be very stuck in how you created that 'list'. Best keep quite on that list eh.
In 2014, just 274 corgi puppies were registered in all of Britain. The dog most tied to the royal family was quietly going extinct. Then one Netflix show put it back on screen and reversed a decline that had run for decades.
The corgi got famous because of one person. In 1944, an 18-year-old Princess Elizabeth was given a corgi named Susan for her birthday. As Queen she kept more than 30 corgis over the next 70 years, almost all of them Susan's own descendants, and they trailed her through photos and TV everywhere she went. By 1960, seven years after her coronation, Britain was registering nearly 9,000 corgi puppies a year. See the Queen, see a corgi.
The fame didn't last. The corgi came to be seen as an old person's dog, unfashionable, slipping a little every year, until that 2014 low landed it on the UK Kennel Club's official list of breeds at risk of dying out. The Crown turned it around. When the show put a young Queen and her dogs back on screens, searches for the breed jumped 22 percent, the puppies followed, and in 2018 the corgi came off the at-risk list for the first time in nearly a decade. By 2021 it hit 1,223 registrations, its best in thirty years.
The grin is doing some work on you, too. In 1943, an Austrian scientist named Konrad Lorenz pinned down why humans melt at certain faces: big eyes, a round face, short stubby legs. Babies have it. Corgis keep it their whole lives. Shelter dogs with the most baby-like faces tend to get adopted faster than the rest.
The exact grinning corgi in this photo has no clear backstory. It's one of millions online, and almost any of them would do, because by now a corgi just means happy dog. Not bad for a breed that was nearly gone ten years back, saved by a birthday puppy from 1944 and a TV show from 2017.
Hey there, we are being featured in a new way to get cannabis information. It’s called https://t.co/LOATX1IZcr and we are featured in the first issue coming soon!
@WestminsterWAG@ZackPolanski I can't imagine how panicked the 'Establishment' is if they are pushing Sarah "Daily Mail" Vine out into the front line. Scrapping the bottom of the barrel now.
→ The God Squad has only convened four times in history. This was the first time it ever granted an exemption on national security grounds — and legal scholars say that argument may be its fatal flaw in court.

There are approximately 50 left on Earth.
The Rice's whale.
Somewhere in the deep blue water of the Gulf of Mexico, roughly 60 miles off the coast of Pensacola, Florida, lives a whale you've probably never heard of.
Dark charcoal gray on top, pale underneath, up to 42 feet long. It communicates in low, soft frequencies. It was only recognized as its own distinct species in 2021 — it existed before that. We just didn't know what it was.
Every single one lives in the Gulf of Mexico. This is the only place they exist. Nowhere else on the planet.
The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill killed an estimated 17% of the entire Rice's whale population.
They nearly didn't survive that.
Now this.
There is a government committee officially called the Endangered Species Committee — nicknamed the "God Squad" because of its power to determine the fate of species.
In its entire existence, it has only voted four times. Hegseth convened it on March 31, 2026 — for the first time in over 30 years —
and invoked national security to strip Endangered Species Act protections from vulnerable wildlife in the Gulf of Mexico.
They just did. For oil.
Hegseth requested the exemption claiming environmental lawsuits protecting
these species were a threat to national security.
Earthjustice was direct — there are no oil and gas projects in the Gulf currently being
held up by the Endangered Species Act. Not one.
The exemption also strips protections
from five sea turtle species, Florida manatees, and migratory shorebirds.
Did you know a committee exists in our government with the legal power to strip a species of its last protections? They just used it. What do you think should happen next?

Ok.
I've read "The Painful Truth About Long Covid" six times through, and I'm ready.
Here are ten clues in the article that point to the writer's bad faith.
@TheEconomist From the UK to New York, the real fightback is against the multi-millionaires and billionaires who have stolen our wealth and power - and the media that protect them.
Zohran gets that.
And we do too:

Anthropic engineer:
"You're not supposed to prompt Claude. You're supposed to build a system that prompts itself."
this is one of the best workflows I've seen in a long time
in this video she breaks down exactly how most people are using Claude:
- the 14% you lose to CLAUDE.md before typing a word
- the architecture that spawns 300 agents from a single prompt
- the server-side loop that stops agents from dying on refresh
- the daily workflows Anthropic's own engineers automated first
if you've been using Claude for months and still start every session from scratch, you have at least 28 untouched features. probably 30

The chart isn’t the story. The story is that every single person in that room watched him compare a reflecting pool to skyscrapers and said nothing. These are the people running the most powerful country on earth, and not one of them had the spine to say ‘sir, that’s a puddle.’
HOLY CRAP 🚨🚨
Albania’s anti-corruption prosecutors just froze Kushner’s dirty assets in the $4 billion resort fraud probe.
The jewish-linked land grab on the Albanian coast is collapsing under fraud investigations and furious public protests.
