Tells you something (not sure what) about the interaction of technological progress and culture that someone posted a Telegraph mad headline generator here last week, and already it's obsolete because the real Telegraph headlines are even madder.

It's genuinely hilarious to read the Telegraph's claim IPSO - by finding that they lied about foreign nationals on benefits - is threatening "free speech."
This in the same week they were forced to admit that they had published a whole story about an entirely fictional family.

Watching some of his old shows, the humour is still spot on, and unlike so many at the time, he doesn’t punch down.
It began with red paint at the UK Treasury, and ended in one of the most successful international climate initiatives.
Nigel Farage's views on women.
“Maybe it’s because I’ve got so many women pregnant over the years that I have a different view [of maternity leave].”
The gulf between what people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East & what Tony Blair thinks people think of Tony Blair commenting on war in the Middle East is positively Badenochian.
It really is so utterly unreal isn't it?
This is the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever read. You cannot convince me a five year old isn’t typing this stuff. I would laugh at my youngest if he came up with this drivel.
I cannot comprehend having such a dipshit run my country. You poor fucking Americans.
Problem is, if you like that kind of logic, a lot of countries could say the same thing about the United States.
REFORM UK WELSH MANIFESTO COSTED
It's another Reform UK manifesto that's all about promises and claims to be cost-neutral, but the numbers in here suggest a £200–250m annual deficit plus large infrastructure costs.
Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"
Today we launch our plan for Wales, putting behind us the dark days when Nathan Gill, the Leader of Reform in Wales, took bribes to do the bidding of foreigners.
In other news, we have just had another £3million donation from a crypto investor who lives in Thailand...
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez speaks with reporters. (AP / Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call)
AOC: “That’s one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American ppl”
Holy crap, the latest released Epstein files are horrific. This man should be in prison, not the White House.
The octopus and the handmaid: Reform’s Epsteinian cultural agenda
From Epstein’s web to Reform’s proposed raft of policy ideas, creeping misogyny now risks redefining women’s rights in Britain

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:
Yup
Being more predictable than America, less revanchist than Russia or less autocratic than China is a low bar. But with chaos becoming the norm, Europe’s attachment to rules is a kind of defiance
NHS official pushed to add patient data to Palantir platform whilst also advising company
A lobbyist who worked directly for Peter Mandelson, on the Palantir board, and on the board of *four* NHS trusts.
Lobbying the NHS to hand over even more patient data to Palantir.
This absolutely stinks. Get Palantir out of the NHS. Sign my petition:

This is the story of slavery at its most traumatic, one predicated not just on physical violence against enslaved people by slave owners, but the all-encompassing terror of slavery as a psychological tool of control and oppression, and the desperate ways enslaved people tried to resist it. A small 🧵
The endless missiles are not going to calm traders. How panicked they get, and for how long, will depend on three factors
A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.
We mustn’t let this war do so.
