This is the kind of leadership we need. A stunning and emotional speech from @MichelleObama

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.

Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.

Happy 100th Birthday, Sir David Attenborough! This is such an awesome fun fact too. An absolute national treasure.

Sage advice for the day.

[Charles Duhigg @cduhigg]

When someone says something that gets under your skin, the most effective response isn't a counterargument. Ask them why it matters so much, and they'll stop defending a position and start telling you who they are. That's when real conversation becomes possible.

@GarethWild @GarethWild I'm amazed and somewhat disappointed that you're allowing such a rich dataset to reside outside of a spreadsheet. How do you sleep at night not knowing whether you spend more on carrots or cucumbers?

P.s. Great work in putting my home town of Devizes on the map btw!

"We're watching this unfold the same as you... we just happen to be close enough to feel the ground shake first."

"But it's time now. Not in an "eventually we should talk about this" way. In a "this is happening right now and I need you to understand it" way."

@SFA_Fire_Alarms Please, for the love of God silence the fire alarm on this development. It's been going off for the last 6 hours, two brigade call outs and nothing. A lot of angry residents in the morning. #chiswick #alarm

It’s been a historic couple of days! 💙

We’re celebrating the first patients in a generation to receive plasma medicines from UK donors.

Gerry Gogarty, our Director of Plasma for Medicines, reflects on the achievement in this blog.

We are Americans.

We are the most powerful nation on the planet.
What defines us is not our power to dominate the weak.
What demonstrates our character is not our capacity to traumatize the afflicted.
What speaks our truth is not how we taunt, deride or belittle the embattled, broken or battered.

We are:
The country of the Marshall Plan
The nation of The Berlin Airlift
The nation whose leader said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”

We are at our best when we are resolute against evil -- not when we kowtow to those who perpetrate it.
We tell our truth when we defend the weak -- not when we do it only if we get protection money.
We are America when our leaders call the dictators dictators and those who fight to defend democracy against tyranny what they are: heroes.

Donald Trump and JD Vance didn't show strength today -- they showed weakness.

They belittled a giant and showed just how small they are.

They have the most vaunted titles in the world: President and Vice President of The United States of America. But the title doesn't make the man. And today both men brought shame to their titles.

A weary warrior was before them. A beleaguered man who has lost thousands of his friends and comrades to the unjust and illegal aggression of an authoritarian leader.

They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead.

Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia's Putin than America's President.
