Good morning to David Lammy. 86 courtrooms (of 516) are sitting empty today. No judge. No jury. No trial. Nothing. 80,000 cases are waiting. And we’re wasting 17% capacity. Will you open them? Pay for them? Staff them? Instead of restricting jury trials? And if not, why not?
📈Today, 20 February 2026, 86 out of the 516 Crown courtrooms in England & Wales will not be sitting. That's 17% of them. #courtstats #CS20022026

Sky have had to turn the comments off on a report that shows black women are twice as likely to die during childbirth and are more likely to lose a baby than their white sisters. Turned the comments OFF. Can you actually believe that?! Black mother's are losing their life and
'I was told by a midwife to shut up.' Sky News speaks to three different black mothers, who gave birth in three different hospitals, as they say maternity services failed them. @Shamaan_SkyNews reports https://t.co/LN8LLRAH03

Palantir CEO Dr. Alex Karp: “You need a higher purpose, and I think you often need a lower purpose. @andrewrsorkin: “What’s your lower purpose?” Karp: “I love the idea of getting a drone and having light fentanyl-laced urine spraying on analysts that tried to screw us.”

(1/10 🧵) If you live in NY, you may see a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.

This is the exact same logic as a wife beater who says "Look at what you made me do" after fracturing her orbital bone.
"Anyone who is planning to attend that rally tonight, think again, because you are deliberately antagonising the NSW police." Police Minister Yasmin Catley warns protestors against attending the rally against police brutality at Surry Hills police station tonight. #auspol

Have been too shattered to write this but for the sake of clarity — I have also been laid off by the Post. I was one of the few journalists still working inside Russia. My last story went on the front page and featured rare testimonies from wounded soldiers criticizing the war.

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.
Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp. Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

Unbelievable that a man who spent US$75m on a film no-one wants to see about Melania Trump has just fired almost all the foreign correspondents on the newspaper he owns. You might think nothing was happening in this world. @JeffBezos @washingtonpost #SaveThePost
