This is America. Our mental benchmark for old stuff is probably the Romans, the American benchmark is probably a 1950s convertible with space ship tail fins

DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK.

COVERUPS WON’T WORK.

NOT EVEN WAR.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

They're just discussing whether having a clockwise staircase is easier to defend for right handed swordsmen

If you want to live in Dubai, or in most of that region, you have to leave your conscience in the arrivals hall. Clearly not a problem for most of these economic migrants

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:

Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down

Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace

Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs

Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

AI will never get past the literature review stage of the research process. But if it does, it will reveal the previously unsuspected influence of space monkeys on all aspects of human behaviour..

I suspect safe air defence has about the same credibility as safe tower blocks in Dubai

I think it's more a mood thing, most people can't put a name to the party they vote for. Certainly good that reform flopped

Yes, and Bajcetic is likely to be discarded when his contract ends. Everyone could see that #LFC desperately needed his input when he broke through but there has to be a duty of care towards these kids as well.

The same trolls that supported farage and the Brexit campaign. And now they're interfering in reform politics. The odds against that must be almost negligible

Why is there a difference between causing brain damage through failure to vaccinate, and causing brain damage through attacking with a hammer

If passing confidential govt info to commercial partners is a chargeable offence, are we expecting every surviving member of every Tory govt in the last 40 years to be arrested soon?

One on left is a black dog and above it the words β€œReality”. Below it is β€œI chased a squirrel” 

One the right is a black dog and above it says β€œLinkedIn”. Below it says, 

Proud to announce that I effectively executed a rapid-response squirrel displacement strategy to mitigate potential yard intrusions.

Humbled by the unwavering support of my family and local stakeholders.

This experience reinforced the importance of vigilance, ownership, and continuous improvement.

Looking forward to scaling this impact in future engagements.

I know PPE has lots of benefits for Oxford in terms of endowments, friends in high places etc. But if Oxford was thinking of the wider benefit to society, they would keep the front door to PPE open, and put bars on all the exits. The inmates are unfit to run a tea stall, let alone the country

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

The world burns. Meanwhile in the Guardian..

In fairness the Telegraph is doing stuff on whether your au pair should expect 400 threadcount sheets in her bed (and how to keep your husband out of there) and the Express is asking should tattooists give discounts for 11 fingers

#LFC every Newcastle attack started with an out ball to the space behind Mo, same place most teams have attacked us this year. Thankfully we defended much better in this match but we can't be successful with a 10 man attack and a 9 man defence. Mo's time is up, he should start on the bench

The ionosphere has been adversely affected by the smallish number of satellites that have re-entered in recent years. Why are we going to risk putting a million of them in orbit?

After building 70000 prototypes you'd think it would be ready for production by now

Like that worked for utd or Milan. Doesn't matter where the manager comes from, they have to be good enough, and Gerrard, much though I loved him as a player, is not good enough
