Imagine if whether you lived or died depended on whether an old senile and malevolent man got annoyed by a segment on CNN or if there’s another news story about a minor development in the Epstein Files?

Thanks Simon. I’m sure you do! It’s not ideal!

Hideous, hideous, hideous. These men are monsters

Good to see Trump and Netanyahu continuing to target the real enemy. Little girls.

I don’t think this is going to be good for house prices in Dubai

(I’m allowed to joke about this, there are missiles flying over my head right now)

The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost

This is very good from Anthropic. I would be much more inclined to trust in their product having seen them demonstrate a moral backbone. If it’s true that Open AI have taken the opposite position then I think I will be making the switch.

The Green Party can be accused of many things I’m sure but being divisive and sectarian is utterly nonsense and will absolutely reflect badly on Labour.

Incredible result & a little beacon of light. I still don’t agree with the Greens on all their policies (their position on NATO is not aligned with the reality of international threats and the legalisation of drugs seems risky) but I’m so happy to see a party that isn’t using far right rhetoric win

I guess I could stand a theoretical chance with Pedro so he does have that in his favour too 🤣

Utter scrotum of a human being

How is it possible to be this young, this good looking and that successful? I mean it should be illegal. Extremely depressing for anyone older, less good looking and less successful.

Completely agree. She brought him down! She’s not defending him at all. She’s just saying there are no winners here. And technically I suppose she is correct though I have zero sympathy for him whatsoever

Penguins, why not? Says the owner of this privately owned zoo. Hmm maybe because their natural habitat is the snowy arctic and not a Nottinghamshire care home. This might be fun and japes for the residents but I’m sure it’s anything but for the poor penguins

When on earth are these platforms going to be held to account for this?! They just allow abhorrent material to be hosted on their platforms with impunity. Enough!

Appointment of Antonia Romeo as head of civil service shows ‘poor judgment’, say former colleagues First female cabinet secretary faced allegations of bullying behaviour in 2017 while working in New York consulate

"Downing Street insisted on Thursday that full vetting had taken place".

Not, perhaps, entirely reassuring in the light of recent events concerning our former 'man in Washington'.

"One rotten royal"

Here are some others:

Edward VIII Hitler loving antisemitic nazi

George Vth bullying arrogant boring snob

William IV activity defended slavery

George I - prob sanctioned murder of wife's boyfriend and locked her up

Henry VIII mass murdering psychopath

I could go on

Glorious

Former public prosecutor Nazir Afzal on the speed at which the police have acted on Andrew's misconduct allegations compared to the Epstein trafficking allegations:

"When the state is the alleged victim, the state moves at pace. When women are the alleged victims, the state takes its time"

A hard agree on this. Diverse casting is IMHO a lazy way of fixing the domination of white faces in the arts. As the author says here it results in glossing over the reality people of colour have historically faced and fails to seek out and tell their stories.

Utterly utterly baffling. I really question his political judgement. Even if she is brilliant why risk it when there is a sniff of a scandal?!

Absolute mega LOLs at Andrew Mountbatten being arrested, on his birthday no less. This has really cheered up my day

Technofascism: AI, Big Tech, and the new authoritarianism In the shadow of the fascism of the 1930s, George Orwell wrote 1984. A new study suggests that his world is closer than we want to think

In the 1930s fascism used rallies and fear.

A new study suggests "technofascism" uses algorithms and convenience. No uniforms. No mass spectacles. Just feeds that polarise, distract and subtly steer behaviour. But it is still fascism and we need to resist.

Answer. Yes that’s exactly what they would do. Straight outta Trump’s playbook

You can utterly loathe the man and still accept he is a talented campaigner and has political nous. Same applies to Trump. Same applied to Hitler. It’s foolish to denounce these people as idiots just because you disagree with them vehemently. That’s not how you beat them.

It *literally* does.

Thats what it is. A document which says youre British.

The dangerous fiend having the audacity to be tired!

So true. This is how social media platforms die out too. Old people joining.
