Russia's electrical grid is collapsing, the Moscow region has been plunged into total darkness, as hundreds of drones approach.

Damn, this is so powerful. MeidasTouch nailed it.

NYT EXCLUSIVE: Zohran Mamdani shared his Netflix login with a family member outside his household.

The principle of charging a fee is based on the government's policy that those who benefit from the insolvency regime should pay for it, rather than the general taxpayer bearing the cost. It is actually £30 less than it was up to 2016. Part is the fee £130 , the rest is a ‘deposit’.

So why does the BBC label the academic and economist Faiza Shaheen an "activist" but refuse to do the same for the former academic, turned anti-migrant activist Matt Goodwin?

A first world problem, but i would like to award a big - please go straight to the ninth circle of hell (AKA FU) trophy to all the "customer service" directors who force customers to waste their time in order to cancel a renewal/subscription by removing cancel as an option. Here's lookiong at ya.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

We received the latest version of Tesla's self-driving software, 14.1.4.

On our first day of testing, Tesla's defective software blew through a 15mph school zone at 31mph, more than double the speed limit when kids are present.

This shit is going to look so bad. Let me at it

The same for google assistant. It has never been paranoid to consider them for what they actually are: harvesters of IRL personal data that is not intermediated by a screen/keyboard.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Minority representation on TV causes outrage

From the new Private Eye, in shops now.

A sign - in Dorset - that says 'MILITARY FIRING RANGE', with a red line struck through somebody in big-heeled shoes who looks like he might be in a 1976 episode of the TV show Soul Train. In the distance, if you look hard, you can just make out a hat that I have dropped.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT PRACTICE YOUR 1970S DISCO STRUT ON THE MILITARY FIRING RANGE.

Gambling does not cause any ‘social ills’, lobbyist tells incredulous MPs Head of UK’s Betting and Gaming Council was asked to repeat claim as she spoke against increasing taxes on sector in November budget

Why lobbyists need to be barred from UK politics. No ifs, no buts, get rid of people who are paid to act against the interests of most constituents. And while they’re at it, no more second ‘jobs’ for MPs or ‘donations’ from companies and other commercial bodies.

Why is an MP’s racist comments being made into a question? Scum journalism now being promoted by ITV. Disgraceful & abhorrent current affairs programming.

It appears that ‘you are on a roll’ with this post neil? I particularly enjoy the job postings - a bot created reflection of what they think people want to do with their personal data. Ken Cheng is good though.

Vandalism gone too far? Russia funded Farridge and his frothing flagshagging moron fanbase have vandalised UK politics for over 15 years with their false & racist tropes. Pearl clutching at some words on a shutter of premises that have already been vacated is just pathetic.

There was an undeniable level of cranial glare when the spots came on last night.

I believe I had a bit of a todo with you in 1973 in Skegness when you were briefly returned as a wasp with a deep yearning for rocket ice lollies. Needless to say, you didn’t fare well.
