Quite like Ed Balls Day. Not so fond of the other.

No, it’s a HoL choice.
“The House of Lords Conduct Committee argued that updating non-financial interests was "disproportionately burdensome" with "minor and inadvertent errors" causing "large numbers of complaints".
As a result, the register of Lords interests shrunk in size from 432 pages to 275.”

ICE Is Going to Sinister Lengths to Avoid Accountability Planes used for deportation flights are flying without tail numbers so they’re harder for activists and watchdogs to track.

A plane removing a tail number is like a car removing a license plate. With the tail number, civilians, journalists, and immigration organizations can keep an eye on which deportation flights are leaving, and to where, and loved ones can track deported family members.

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.

BIG crowd of people shouting at police.

"Fuck you!"

"What is wrong with you!"

"You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

Tesla has closed its Dojo supercomputer team, in what appears to be a major shift in the company’s artificial intelligence plans.

The reason…..The team leader and 20 staff walked out to join a rival group. I guess working for a Nazi saluting ego maniac lost its appeal.

It’s not the crap politicians we need to persuade it’s the people who voted them in.
Education, education, education.

Problems were first raised in 2014 and again in 2016 when an Irish surgeon noted his failure rate from these operation was rising. But when he contacted Zimmer Biomet to ask to be put in touch with U.K. surgeons using the implants they seemed reluctant to allow free access.

Ohio managed to get thousands of people to hold hands and link arms in a human chain that stretched 8 miles to stand against ICE.

8 miles of humans linked together.

FFS.

He didn't "kick off".

It's not a "jibe".

He said, with dignity and restraint, what we were all thinking - that Al-Obeid didn't just "die" - he, like tens of thousand of other innocent civilians, was killed by Israel as part of its ongoing programme of ethnic cleansing.

Full article.

I'm not a fan of Fraser Nelson's, to put it politely, but while I don't agree with every point he makes ⤵️ here, the overall thrust needs reiterating and propagating. It's time the media called Farage et al out on their toxic (and unpatriotic) bullshit.

The latest figures show robbery, theft, residential burglary and knife crime are down in London, but there's still a long way to go before I’m satisfied.

Backed with record funding from City Hall, the Met is putting high-visibility policing at the heart of fighting crime.

I always enjoy reading the TripAdvisor London Forum because I'm fascinated to see what foreign tourists expect, what they ask about and what surprises them. I thought this post from someone from Texas was a really lovely and cheering comment about riding the tube late at night

The threat to our society is not from asylum seekers in small boats. It’s from politicians and media cynically whipping up fear and prejudice, labelling them all as criminals, inciting hatred against people for where and what they’ve fled from.
It must stop. For all our sakes. It’s deeply sinister.

Thinking we could do with a hober mallow right now. Uk economic efforts across brexit and us treaties are in dire need of his genius

Yes. Was always going to a challenge

Yep. It was a passable series, but if you were expecting anything asimov-y, no chance
