William Wragg: "I’m so sorry that my weakness has caused other people hurt.”

President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday that future US support for Israel’s military offensive in Gaza will depend on whether the country takes concrete steps to prevent harm to civilians and humanitarian workers in Gaza — the first time that the president has essentially threatened to condition aid to its strongest ally in the Middle East during the last six months of violence in the Palestinian enclave.

Tory Party post on X.

The official Conservative Party account on X has published a bizarre post that claims Britain is “the second most powerful country in the world”.

The Tories called on “doomsters” to stop “talking down our country”, and included a montage of Rishi Sunak with images of The King and the England football team, among others, in an apparent effort to stir up some patriotism. 

The post says: “Don’t let the doomsters and the naysayers trick you into talking down our country. Читать дальше...

We are truly in our puzzle era. It all started with Wordle. It came out back in October 2021 when for many of us, we were still spending a lot of time at home and these daily 5-letter puzzles were providing a sense of community that we’d been sorely missing.

If you’re not one of those people who has a standing haircut appointment every eight-to-twelve weeks, which is how often most stylists recommend you get a trim, then looking out for split ends is usually a good method to gauge whether you should visit a salon.

While there was a trend last year for trying to manifest a dream partner, this Redditor’s girlfriend took a far more sinister approach to bagging her ideal man. 

Life looks very different today for Gen Z (born after 1996) than it did for their Gen X parents (born in 1965 to 1981). The young adults of Gen Z comprise the first generation of “digital natives” who never knew a time before smartphones. Their higher education and early work experiences were drastically altered by the pandemic. They are more racially and ethnically diverse, and more likely to know a person who uses they/them pronouns.

When your toddler or pre-schooler gets to a certain age, it’s likely they’ll be interested in dinosaurs. If you’re already a parent to a dinosaur lover, you’ll know that they know every single type and can say the most complicated names.

All of us budget travellers know how it goes; you don’t want to spend the extra £25 each way to sit with your mate so you settle for sitting apart on the flight only for one or both of you to have an empty seat next to you.
