"Ministers think that promoting public service media on influential platforms like YouTube will reflect changing viewing habits, as well as combat the tide of misinformation and disinformation on these services."

“As the media landscape moves further and further online away from traditional broadcasting we must act so that our world-leading TV sector continues to thrive and top-quality UK content keeps being produced.”

Censorship

Attention far-Lefties, Radicals, and Terrorists on Reddit:

"The order, which directs the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) to investigate “networks, entities, and organizations that foment political violence,” identifies ideological markers such as anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism and anti-Christianity as potential red flags. Rights groups say that language is so broad it risks sweeping in protest movements, advocacy organizations, and critics of the administration."

Average time spent socializing per day has fallen from 45 to 35 minutes over the last 20 years.

• The decline is steepest among young people.
• We're all on our smartphones, often interacting through screens instead of face to face.
• The shift to remote work — and life — during the pandemic has persisted, keeping more of us homebound.
• Homes are bigger and more comfortable, with larger TVs. Virtually every restaurant is on a food delivery app, making it easier than ever to stay in.
• A 2025 report from CU Boulder researchers uncovered widespread closures of all kinds of hangout spots — from libraries to coffee shops to museums — in the last decade or so.
• Churches are also shuttering at unprecedented rates,

"I mean, and the reasoning behind it is that it's a gay group," Campbell said. "It's very concerning to me when a country decides they can pick and choose which tourists are allowed in and which are not."

"The cruise was described as "an epic all-gay voyage from Athens to Venice to the Mediterranean's most iconic destinations — Mykonos, Santorini, Istanbul, Dubrovnik, and more."

"Turkey Blocks Virgin Voyages Gay Cruise From Docking, Citing “Moral Standards”

"Atlantis Events organizes cruises primarily for LGBTQ+ travelers."

Turkish authorities have reportedly blocked this cruise from visiting Turkey at the last minute, citing “moral standards” and “family values,” claiming that the ship was chartered by groups “known for behaviors incompatible with the fabric of our society and our moral values.” "

"According to a new “Survey of Adult Skills” conducted by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development — a forum for 38 high-income, predominantly Western countries — a not insignificant number of adult students enrolled in higher education are now reading and doing math at a level which, in a more functional society, would be alarming for a middle schooler."

"The survey, first spotted by the Economist, tested around 160,000 people of all ages, across all 38 member states. It found that across all OECD member countries, a full 8 percent of college students are reading at the level of a ten-year-old, if not worse. While countries like Germany and France rang in at under 5 percent, countries like Poland, Israel, and the United States blew the curve at 21, 20, and 14 percent, respectively."

"The numbers aren’t much better when it comes to math. Across OECD countries, 9 percent of college students do math at or below a ten-year-old level. In Italy, the US, and Slovakia, that figure jumps to over 15 percent — only outdone by Israel, where roughly 21 percent of college students were underachieving at the same low benchmark."

Why? The pandemic, technology...?

Per Daily Mail:

A MAGA live-streamer dressed as Uncle Sam has been arrested at President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair after multiple witnesses reported him to police.

 Gian Rachtelli, 54, was taken into custody on Thursday afternoon and charged with lewd, indecent or obscene acts after three people independently described what they believed was a sexual act taking place during a Cirque Mechanics performance.

 The arrest is the latest controversy to engulf Trump's taxpayer-funded Great American State Fair, an event already facing criticism over performer cancellations, sparse crowds and eye-watering food prices.

"It's been embarrassment after embarrassment for Donald Trump's Great American State Fair, with poor turnout and last-minute cancellations, but Fox News is trying to drum up support"

"Fox News viewers have turned on the network for their coverage of Donald Trump's Great American State Fair."

"While many of Donald Trump's supporters seemed to enjoy the Great American State Fair, I could not help but equate it to another failed experience."

"Because, if we're being candid here, the fair was possibly one of the most horrible fairs that I have ever attended in my three decades of living. While growing up around the Texas State Fair for 18 years of life could possibly set the bar pretty high, the Great American State Fair seemed to be not even a blip on the radar."

"Before the Ultimate Fighting Championship birthday celebration , the National Park Service asked Greenwater Services, which won a $1.7 million no-bid contract to install the nanobubblers, to remove them, according to two people briefed on the decision. "

"Dotted around the perimeter of the memorial’s Reflecting Pool were the nanobubblers, the temporary water-purification machines meant to keep the pool clear of algae. Encased in black fencing and powered by large generators, the machines were something of an eyesore."

"The decision to remove the water-treatment systems, which has not previously been reported, was one of several missteps that have plagued Mr. Trump’s $16.4 million renovation of the Reflecting Pool. There have been no-bid contracts, peeling strips of waterproof coating in Mr. Trump’s handpicked shade of “American flag blue,” and even a dead duck floating in the water (though it is not clear if the renovation had anything to do with the duck’s demise)."

Satellite imagery reveals for the first time the extent of what Iran destroyed at Naval Support Activity Bahrain."

"The U.S. Navy base in Bahrain was repeatedly targeted between late February and June. Strikes that got through caused extensive damage, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis of satellite imagery, social-media footage and interviews with current and former servicemembers—damage that the Pentagon hasn’t publicly acknowledged. Hit hard were the command headquarters and at least a dozen other buildings, along with two satellite communications terminals."

"The extensive damage done to America’s sole naval base in the Middle East—along with hits to at least 20 U.S. sites across the region, including military installations and diplomatic facilities—has the U.S. re-evaluating its entire footprint in the region, according to U.S. officials familiar with the deliberations."

Translation: The US got its butt kicked out.

"This article reports results from the June 2026 Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll. You can find a methodology description, toplines, and crosstabs for this survey — as well as for all our previous poll releases — at the Strength In Numbers/Verasight poll webpage."

"No studies of any kind" per Mods. How do you legitimately discuss health without studies?

What a locker room joke!

" Males consuming >6.5 (95% CI [<1, 13.5]) and females consuming >7.0 (95% CI [<1, 11.5]) drinks per week had life-time alcohol-attributable mortality risks >1:1,000. At >8.5 (95% CI [2.5, 13]) drinks per week for both males and females, these risks increased to >1:100. "

No basic research.

"The Senate adopted a resolution on Tuesday directing the president to remove military forces from the conflict with Iran, a significant rebuke to Donald Trump and a strong message that the war lacks support in Congress.

Democrats have repeatedly forced votes to limit Trump’s war powers in both the House and the Senate — a campaign that has gradually picked up more GOP support in recent weeks, drawing the president’s ire."

"For decades, American roads were steadily getting safer for pedestrians. But around 2009, the trend reversed. Since then, the number of pedestrians killed each year has risen by about 75 percent."

" the trend toward ever-larger vehicles has received much less scrutiny, even after federal researchers in 2022 cautioned regulators that it was endangering pedestrians.

After analyzing federal and industry records, including never-before-examined data on vehicle dimensions, we found that the rise of large pickups and S.U.V.s is an important factor."

"On her final day as Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard released a new batch of declassified documents alleging that former top US health official Anthony Fauci funded gain-of-function research linked to China's Wuhan Institute of Virology, helped suppress the Covid-19 lab-leak theory, and misled Congress during a 2024 hearing."

"Fauci has previously denied that NIH-funded research in Wuhan contributed to the creation of SARS-CoV-2. "

Fauci lied under oath and actively covered up the facts of the origin story.

"Iranian officials abandoned peace talks in the wake of President Donald Trump's threat to 'blow the s*** out of them,' just hours after Vice President JD Vance arrived in Switzerland for negotiations with Tehran.

The president threatened Iran to restart his bombing campaigns on the country through profanity-laced phone calls and posts on social media while Vance began negotiations."

"Algae blooms and peeling paint mar $14.2m renovation as president blames problems on ‘disgraceful Vandalism’"

"But he went on to blame the problems on vandals, saying “many additional people have been arrested having to do with the disgraceful Vandalism of our beautiful Reflecting Pool”.

Trump claimed on Saturday several people had been arrested for alleged vandalism. Three-time Olympian David Hearn, who was apprehended, told the Washington Post that he had merely stopped by the pool to touch one of the peeling pieces of paint liner to see how it felt, when he was arrested by US park police on a misdemeanor charge."
