Just so we're all clear, this is a war crime and would be punishable by life or death under U.S. law.

Thank you. None of this would be possible without the diligent work and personal and sensitive service, often to the bereaved or caring families of the collectors. This initiative is as fabulous as the films themselves.

Remember people, to make a donation to this work if you can.

AND they will be on BBC iPlayer by Easter!

EXCL: Reform UK have been processing cryptocurrency donations through Poland, under a 'lax' regulatory regime which previously housed a Cambodian crime syndicate sanctioned by the US Treasury for laundering $4 billion in illicit funds (inc. proceeds from North Korean state-sponsored cyber heists)

Not blaming you, but the problem with flaws like this, is that they undermine the very important point that's being made. As frustrating as that is, there's a whole industry of people working for bad people whose job is to make good people look bad too.

Something seems wrong here

Ah yes, "free speech" bsky.app/profile/mrro...

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

(If I were the Reform lot, I'd be committed to keeping the OBR for no other reason than to avoid Truss trying to join.)

I thought Truss had been saying it *wasn't* that the mini-budget hadn't been tested by the OBR that brought about the financial crisis/her fall, but something the BoE had done? So why *is* she so intent on revenge on the OBR? 🤔

The money and the SA are all part of the same thing. Epstein and Maxwell built a network of favours and secrets of which the SA was simply the dirtiest but most powerful part. Money crimes are easier to prove, though. Like Capone and his tax returns, sometimes that way in is what you need.

If there is still a monarchy in the decades to come, I have a feeling the title of Duke of York - previously commonly given to the second son of the monarch - may be rested at least for a generation or two.

Or pull the less reliable (reliably corruptible) extremists off Reform's back so that it can remerge by (reverse takeover) with the Tories as happened in Canada with their Reform Party. Musk is a bit of a loose cannon among the new media barons, however, and may simply not know what he is doing./2

Maybe. I long held the view that Reform was promoted by the media barons (who want to run the world) as a way of pulling the Tories to the Right, away from Europe. It's worked *too well*, such that the Tories are now in existential crisis. Restore may be the means by which they pull Reform apart? /1

The problems with using betting markets as a substitute for scientific polling are obvious. This has nothing to do with how the electorate are thinking of voting but how punters - not all of whom are voters - gamble their money. If you have money you could easily manipulate this to your advantage.

Manchester Mill find the small group of Reform activists includes several with v overt prejudices. They fairly note that Goodwin can't be expected to vet them all in advance. To date, the site report he is not willing to criticise ant of it once revealed either

r/analytics • IOh We just found out our AI has been making up analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna throw up. Support So we've been using an Al agent since November to answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations, everyone loved it. I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this entire time. Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing plausible sounding percentages. I only caught it by accident when someone asked me to double check something. I started digging, and holy shit, it's bad.

lol this is gonna burst so fucking hard

You can make a good case for attacking criminal people traffickers for abandoning people mid-channel to be rescued by the lifeboats; but attacking a charity that they are exploiting for keeping to its core beliefs of saving lives regardless of who they are? Un-British and absolutely non-Christian.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

America is ‘no longer an ally’ | Historian Sir Simon Schama YouTube video by Times News

Historian Simon Schama:

"America is no longer an ally of Europe. Trump has set his marks on enfeebling NATO and destroying the European Union. He said many times that the EU was founded to screw the USA; he always hated it.

In the nuclear age, power is an immense, ferociously dangerous thing."

Lib Dem leader Ed Davey has said the govt should start selling war bonds as there is a need to "move far faster" on UK defence spending members of the public cd loan the govt money in the form of a bond which would run over a two-to-three year period+pay out the same interest as standard govt bonds.

Here's the thing. Where Russia is concerned, sooner or later all our skins are in the game. There is no safe place.

Are things like this, all happening on social media, mostly under the radar, the reason I hear ordinary people talk about Keir Starmer with such vitriol like I've never heard before? @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social @restispolitics.bsky.social

@markpackuk.bsky.social - you've been the one pushing the UK Government on its continued use of X. Here's a case for further pushing them to address this increasingly poisonous influence on our public life.

Isn't it interesting? There's no indication on what grounds the soon-to-be Mr Mountbatten Windsor is to be evicted from what appears to be a legal lease on his home. Does that make it a S.21 eviction - a process the Gov't has just passed a law to abolish?*

(*Law not yet in force).

#DoctorWho fans will breathe a sigh of relief that the Disney hiatus is over, whatever the longer term future may be.

If something can be worked out, perhaps the 2026 special will see Ncuti return (saved by Bad Wolf herself) and lead us into a proper new series (or is that new new new series?

Lots of communities use "aunt" or "uncle" as a generic term for a non-immediate family member, as a mark of respect.
