A neolib Labour government doing what it did last time. Quelle surprise. Shit timeline we've got here.

Death toll from school bombing in southern Iran reportedly rises to 165 Strike on girls’ elementary school in south of Iran has killed 148 people and injured 95 others, according to Iran state media

Israel did this with 'Waltz with Bashir'. A good film, but lousy politics.

Why is Spock on the Death Star

It's like slipping on gammon tinted glasses. A glimpse of a bitter nostalgia world.

Obama assassinated bin Laden, so naturally Trump has to have his own 'enemy of the West' killed. There's not a shred of originality, but endless insecurity to him.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Brendan O'Neill Published 28 February 2026 8:00am GMT If Queers for Palestine were a person, it would be Hannah Spencer. No one better sums up the dimness and sheer vacuity of the modern Left than the new MP for Gorton and Denton. There she is in her blue jeans and trendy trainers dancing awkwardly as Muslim men who dream of wrapping her sinful body in a black cloak look on with restrained fury

Just finished the Behind the Bastards episodes on the impact of Jeffrey Epstein. And like a takeway is that he started funding anti-trans research because he allegedly SA'd a trans girl (she was 16 at the time) who turned around and sued his ass for it and he was mad that she sued him.

This was a peak 90's advert.

I doubt 99% of Green voters would appreciate being tarred like that. Absolutely witless comment by Starmer.

Going after the fuckwit market.

In positive news, I am presently training a paediatric nursing team in the east end to do home visits by e-bike / cargo bike. Absolute 'Call the Midwife' reality!

Quite, and this is why in the UK at least it's a good thing they are never mandatory to use. For one thing, cycling is a broad church of speeds and abilities. For another, sometimes those on bigger, heavier, faster bikes have the option to use the carriageway and not bring risk into those spaces.

This reads like a "we used to be a country" meme.

I agree.

This is a useful desire line route avoiding the traffic lights that most local cyclists know about. Glad to see it formalised.

BREAKING: Sharp's Brewery in Cornwall, maker of UK's best-selling Cask ale, Doom Bar, to close, 50 jobs lost. US-Canadian owner Molson Coors, say it's financially unsustainable.

Frankly, for good or bad, culturally we refuse to rationalise cycling. We want it to be responsibility lite, but also taken seriously by the motorcentric incumbent culture. Tough ask.

Well, it seems that the stand off between this company and the Department of Defence over using its AI to kill people has ended.

Sam Altman’s anti-human worldview OpenAI CEO downgrades humanity in pursuit of goal to merge with computers

OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever.

One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.
