Motivational instagram story of a young woman showing herself running with the caption: Iran this. Israel that. IRAN 5km and the pain ISREAL
I don’t think anyone is topping this one, peak influencer
“Iran this. Israel that. IRAN 5km and the pain ISREAL“
Actually I didn’t realise how much better his figures are. I take it back lol
Even Bumrah went for runs, such a good batting pitch. Still pretty exciting in the end, praise where it’s due
If England had played Ahmed, they might’ve done this. Well, if Brooks had caught Samson…
I had no idea until this all started that the UAE licences and pays many influencers to live there and write positively about the regime.
That puts a whole new spin on things.
Propagandists in pocket of regime.
It's why all the messaging is the same.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it
Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Screenshot from FT article: Even self-described misogynist influencer Andrew Tate shared a video of himself dancing outside and smoking a cigar with the tagline: "Me in Dubai while the bombs fall." It received over 11mn views on X. His brother shared a statistic comparing the air attacks to knife crime in London.
Screenshot from FT article: Other interventions have been more spontaneous. British political pundit Isabel Oakeshott, one of the emirate's many expats from the UK, said it was only tourists scrambling to find ways to get out of her chosen home. "British citizens who live in Dubai are not queueing to be 'evacuated'," she said, writing on the social media platform X. "Shops are still open! People are going to work."
Screenshot from FT article: Longtime Dubai resident and Telegram chief executive Pavel Durov said on Sunday he regretted being in Europe during the strikes. "I'm not only missing the free fireworks from Iran, but also exposing myself to greater risk. Given Europe's crime rates, Dubai is statistically safer even with missiles flying, " he claimed.
Screenshot from FT article: Those criticising the emirati government or its authorities, by contrast, risk large fines, imprisonment or visa revocation. Dubai police reminded residents that "rumours, false information, or any content that contradicts official announcements or that may cause public panic or threaten public safety, order, or health is prohibited".
Freedom of speech warriors A-ok with glazing the government that jails people who criticise it
All these years people worried tiktok would allow Chinese propaganda to permeate the West, meanwhile Saudi and the UAE have been paying vapid veneered influencers to regurgitate Royal lies long before this war started
The only remarkable thing about this is that people think it’s only one journal doing it
An absolute joy to see @thephysicsgirl.bsky.social bring out a video. And what an amazing heartwarming reception in the comments. Plus it’s a great video! Bluesky account is dormant but sending you best wishes Dianna, great to have you back! youtu.be/B3m3AMRlYfc?...

No one is saying don’t cover AI. But broadcasters should not be advertisers. Simple rule: Don’t take direct money from companies. There is no pressure to except to want to make money. Would you trust a tech journalist to review an Apple product if paid by Apple? This is called sponsored content.
Can’t actually tell if you’re being sarcastic
As usual frothing-mouth Reform types envisage an invasion of evil men but, also as usual, women are the main victims of policies like this. For women from repressive countries, facing civil war or widespread female abuse, going abroad to study is often the first step in getting out.
I forgive people who considered Naval some great sage after hearing a couple of podcasts back in 2017 (esp because I’m in that demographic) but if you still think this guy has anything worth listening to after all this time, you are hopelessly lost in the worst parts of the roganpilled losernet
Based on AAMC data for recent applicants and matriculants, Asian physicians average the highest MCAT scores (508.8–514.3), followed by White (507.8–512.5). Black and Hispanic averages are lower (497.4–506.8). Studies on USMLE Step 1/2 and residency in-training exams show similar patterns, with these metrics predicting board performance and knowledge. Statistically, Asian or White demographics show the strongest objective indicators of competence on average. Always check individual credentials and outcomes.

I know it ain't cool to go to The Bad Place™️, but wow the grok advice on how to pick a doctor
But there's a YMMV disclaimer so probably fine
In the black box so thieves won’t..take..your package awayyyy
Cleo is another level. It feels like the majority of her output is propaganda of some sort
I’m a *huge* fan of Hannah Fry but I’m not the only one who’s noticed how much AI sponcon she’s done. Really hesitate to say this as I don’t want to be a hater but I would call into question the neutrality of a doctor making TV progs about a product if they’re also paid by the companies that make it
"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"
The glibness. The indifference. The carelessness. The utter lack of planning for a war against a country of 90M. The sickness of a man who acts on whim that will kill thousands not hundreds. The horror of a regime that enables this sickness. The broken body politic that votes in such malignancy.
A selection of gifs that match the search ‘spill the tea’. 9 images of people, predominantly women (although I am here to say men can also be gossip-fiends, in fact I consider it a core part of my personhood. Plus Kermit is there and he’s a boy), sipping from teacups with suggestive expressions, and phrases conveying how they are patiently waiting to hear some juicy gossip.
As someone who has always felt tea is the superior drink, and yet has watched coffee‘s place in the world rise and rise, it’s been gratifying to see tea become synonymous with another subject close to my heart, gossip
(I reiterate my regular assertion though that coffee is, in fact, a tea)
They are sadly few and far between
Stuff like this reminds me why I ended my economist sub. So much good stuff, but they have been abysmal on anything vaguely scientific for years
Accounts catastrophizing covid for attention in 2026 are directly working against public health.
Any healthcare professional should bear in mind that patients might read/watch anything you post. This doesn’t stop me being silly, and ensures I remain professional. So many don’t though 😬 I admit I do find this kind of direct contact a little unsettling. GMC guidance is unclear, and needs updating
