Please join me in congratulating Woman on her appointment

Emma Barnett mindlessly read this headline out on #r4today this morning (of course); the actual truth is public still think the dangers of climate change have NOT been exaggerated

The trailer #r4today just ran for it was appalling. Michael Buerk clearly has already lost his way in the maze of his own prejudice.

You don’t think that perhaps they gave her that airtime so we could all hear how deranged she is?

No more worrying about typing in long addresses or figuring out if that's a letter O or the number O. Scan and go! The best thing about QR codes is that they're free. It doesn't cost any money to generate one. They're an open standard with no middle-men. Users can go…

I’m sure Big Tech are currently beavering away on a proposal to support grassroots artists to balance out this exploitation. 🫣

Clegg has been a shill for big tech forever.

I fail to understand this Labour government. It’s like they’re intentionally pissing everyone off in order to set up a Reform win.

Oh my Lord!!!!

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright.

Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."

Oh good. Tony Blair and the Carbon Capture Fairies have entered the room. 🙄

I think the article should ask, "why does football bring our the worst in people?"

No other sport has such horrible tribalism and supporter aggression.

Justin is being a bit interrupty today.

The Hard Core Kayak Massive will be going elsewhere.

The Pope looks horrified as he meets some weirdo.

A right winger touches you …and in 24 hours you’ll be dead.

A brand new Gibson acoustic guitar with horrible “aging”, which basically means someone in the factory was paid to fuck the finish up.

A different brand new Gibson acoustic guitar with horrible “aging”, which means the lacquer has been pointlessly scraped off around the sound hole.

I will never understand this. £6,000 for a new guitar that someone has taken sandpaper to.

Books are worthless which is why Meta needed to steal more than 7 million of them

It’s the art of the deal …assuming we’re dealing with the art of an incontinent half-blind elephant who has ingested a trunk-load of methamphetamines.

RIP Clem Burke - probably the worst person to ask to drum for the Ramones but perfection in Blondie form.

Where did they find this chap? Was he just walking his dog near the BBC studio and the real CEO of Luton Airport was running late?

Clueless bloke from Luton Airport trying to defend the expansion plans without an answer to the emissions problem. 🙄
