Can you help us find the missing Christmas Lectures? 📼 31 episodes of the Christmas Lectures broadcast between 1966 and 1973 are missing, presumed "wiped" by the BBC. This includes one of Sir David Attenborough's lectures, not seen since it was first broadcast live over 50 years ago. (1/2)

Megyn Kelly: It’s stunning to me that the people who voted for the man who said over and over not only no new wars, but no war with Iran — that those people on a dime were like yes, we’re pro war with Iran, Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. They were not on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon

For years, NYC & by extension @nychealthy.bsky.social has suffered a 2019 Cuomo cut to our city public health $. NYC was the only one who got cut. Article 6 $ supports critical programs NYC needs to combat health crises. This is unjust and dangerous. It must be restored.

British politics has become so performative that prime ministers are now judged less on whether the country functions and more on whether they personally typed every word of an essay. Meanwhile the public still can’t afford rent, energy or a decent train service. #NewsNight

If there's one thing Bill 101 does achieve, its taking away any accountability from the Minister of EDU for his own actions. Liability appears more than 40 times in the bill, a stark change from its predecessor. We deserve to know why accountability is literally being written out with this law.

A century ago, America faced eerily familiar threats: Crackdowns on dissenting speech, public distrust, political violence, wealth inequality & more. But Americans didn’t retreat; they experimented boldly. To meet today’s threats, we need bold action at an even greater scale. tinyurl.com/m5y6b23n

“I see right now the largest farm crisis in 40 years,” says House candidate Vern Thompson. “I was a young farmer and I struggled through the 1980s farm crisis." He says he doesn’t want to see today’s young farmers go through that, "because that was hell.”
