Sir Keir is the loneliest PM – but he must stay in office
Editorial: It would be detrimental to the country if the prime minister was bowled out of office so soon after winning a historic election. For all the ongoing setbacks, he must come out fighting

If you've looked at recent US government websites, and wondered why you don't see UK government sites covered with photos of British cabinet members, it's not entirely a design choice.
Central government resources aren't allowed to be used to promote party political content - and for websites that can include raising the public profile of politicians.
There is, in essence, a civil servant who can reject website update requests made by the Prime Minister if they fe…

Cowboys Head Coach Sheds Light On Trevon Diggs Release
The Dallas Cowboys made what looked to be a very out-of-the-blue decision on Tuesday to release long-time corner and former All-Pro, Trevon Diggs. Diggs was already considered a prime cut candidate for the offseason – a move that would save them around $12.5 million in 2026 for a veteran player that has not played up to his hefty 5 year, $97 million extension signed back in 2023. However, the decision to part ways with him before the start of the offseason was a peculiar one that left many to…

Raiders’ Maxx Crosby Gets Strong Message Amid Trade Rumors
It’s clear that the Las Vegas Raiders are in a rebuild. Nonetheless, the question the front office will need to ask itself is whether they can win while Maxx Crosby is in his prime. If not, then they are better off acquiring assets for a valuable piece that many in the NFL would want.Nonetheless, if the Raiders do believe they can turn this team around in the next two seasons, then there’s a possibility of hanging onto Crosby as the Silver and Black look to be a team that can challenge for …

Qesser Zuhrah has just been picked up by an ambulance seconds ago. I wish for his survival and future wellbeing. Shame on Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy for not even listening to the hunger strikers and their demands!
The silencing and criminalization of Palestine Action has seen hoards of arrests, with the hunger strikes it may even claim its first lives. We must do everything in our power to prevent this, which means at least giving all arrested a chance to a fair trial!

Just noticed Firefox was guzzling around ~750MB when opening Apple Music page. This led me down a rabbit hole of building a custom music client and its so bad.
1. You need Apple developer account (99USD/year) for API access.
2. Linux is not a native target meaning having to use MusicKit JS library with Electron, GtkWebKit or QtWebEngine.
3. Legal issues.
Spotify is such a saint in terms of third-party client support. Also, I have Amazon Prime which gets me Amazon Music…

Norway’s Prime Minister Jonas Gahr StŸre has acknowledged Trump’s letter is real.

An image styled as official White House stationery on a beige textured background with a gold United States presidential seal at the top above the words The White House and Washington, D.C. 20500, followed by a thin horizontal line.

Let's begin by quoting, in full, a letter that the president of the United States of America sent yesterday to the prime minister of Norway, Jonas Gahr StŸre.
The text was forwarded by the White House National Security Council to ambassadors in Washington, and was clearly intended to be widely shared.
Here it is:
"Dear Jonas:
Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to …

Iran:
Arab nations in the region have already urged Trump not to attack Iran, an idea he has been discussing since early this month as the government there cracked down on protests engulfing the country.
Israel’s leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has also asked Trump to postpone any attack on Iran, a senior U.S. official said Thursday.
Israeli and Arab officials fear Iran would retaliate by striking their countries
