This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.

The thing about this image is that the most powerful man in the world is unfit to command and the people around him are so afraid of him that they will wear clown shoes rather than risk confronting him about an insane war

We call AI output slop not because it's incapable of regurgitating something beautiful, but because vomiting up chunks of mixed restaurant meals is not the same as being a chef. That some of the upchuck can still be parsed as it was on the plate is not thanks to digestion or emesis, but to cooking.

You and me, we'd refuse to do this. We'd refuse to pretend it was unknown who hit the school, that it wasn't even suggested the yanks did it. We wouldn't struggle to answer the question of whether of not incinerating a school full of children was a war crime.

They do it, though.

It strikes me that I have no idea what to do after Hormuz is closed because every time we got to this phase in discussions or simulations I read people just said β€œoh man the economy” and went back up the game tree

Hannah Spencer: Green MP gets police escort from violent demo The Green Party MP was put into a waiting police car after a demonstration turned violent in Manchester.

The BBC goes to some length here to avoid stating that Spencer was harassed. We are told that the protest 'turned violent'.
No culprit is indicated beside in the Green's spokesperson's statement and no mention of Spencer being targeted is made.

Someone on here yesterday pointed out that you can tell they didn’t see any of this coming because they would have done insider trades on the oil futures market if they had.

Hi, this is your handler from the government, to maintain your state gifted perks we’re going to need you to post this. No, it’s not optional.

People like Goodwin hate Britain. They want to drag it to antiquity because a backwards, discriminatory society is the only society they can thrive in. Without discrimination and disadvantage for others, they are nobodies

Some quick back-of-the-envelope arithmetic indicates that this "cash boost" will support the National Year of Reading by giving each public library enough money for a one-time purchase of two (2) additional books for their collections or cover approximately three (3) man-hours of staffing.

People expected to live forever in limbo, forever as outsiders, and they will still be asked: β€œWhy won’t you just integrate?”

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.

Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

Hegseth just shot down a DHS drone with a laser because he thought it belonged to a Mexican cartel, but let’s let him preside over a radical shift to unrestrained AI on our most advanced weapons systems. What could go wrong?

Shabana Mahmood vows to stick with hardline migration policies after byelection defeat

Home secretary will defy β€˜plain wrong’ calls from unions and leftwing MPs that she is alienating Muslim voters

Shabana Mahmood vows to stick with hardline migration policies after byelection defeat Home secretary will defy β€˜plain wrong’ calls from unions and leftwing MPs that she is alienating Muslim voters

By taking a far-right approach to immigration policy, cracking down on rights and placing it high on the agenda, Labour has not just turned its own voters away

It has mainstreamed far-right politics and strengthened Reform, both politically and electorally

Them doubling down should be unforgivable

I don't think calling the people who voted for the nice woman who thinks working hard should grant you a decent life unhinged extremists is going to work out brilliantly for Labour.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

Grew up watching a Trans woman win Big Brother, hearing music with lyrics that celebrated Trans people, seeing folk flourish as themselves. Now we’re going backwards

Successive interviews by Nick Robinson this morning perfectly sum up the BBC:

with Zack Polanski: sneering, aggressive, constantly interrupting.

with David Bull, Reform's Chairman: polite, nodding along, barely any interruptions.

Amazing. Will share the link when it's up so you can listen too.

A number of political correspondents should be reflecting on having been so easily led by the nose by Labour in the last few days.

A clip from the BBC News opinion piece on the byelection result:

"A final thought that will be part of the conversation in the hours and days after this by election – the suggestion of significant "family voting" as it is known.

The group Democracy Volunteers reported what it called "concerningly high levels of family voting in Gorton and Denton" - which it defines as "where two voters either confer, collude or direct each other on voting".

Manchester City Council insisted "no such issues" were reported by its staff at polling stations.

Labour Party Chair Anna Turley told the BBC the reports were "obviously extremely worrying and concerning" and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage claimed the by-election was "a victory for sectarian voting and cheating"."

Hello BBC Political Editor Chris Mason, the dogwhistle of family voting will only become "part of the conversation" if the media make it "part of the conversation", which you are doing, so maybe back off the passive voice and own it?

Can't get a posh job - blame the "woke" establishment.
Can't get a shag - blame the "unregulated sexual economy".
Lose a by-election - blame cheating.
Anything else - blame immigrants.
Reform really is the party of excuses for mediocre white men.

Just noting here that if a school headteacher anywhere in Britain had gone on National Front radio at any point in the last seventy years before now, it would’ve been a national scandal and she would’ve been dismissed instantly. Not now, of course.
