I mean, any post Trump administration is going to have to arrest Tim Apple aren’t they.

But why though?

I refuse to believe that any of this is real. We all died like 10 years ago and this is some sort of simulation. That's the best I've got.

BBC among media misreportimg/exaggerating scale of asylum protests

Median protest is a few dozen, below 100.

"Usually Several hundred at a time" is false.
- should say *occasionally*
< 1/10 protests have 200 people

"Sometimes thousands"
I dont think a single 2025 protest had > 2000 people yet

BBC Yorkshire: Five fall ill with E. coli at beauty spot

“Are you sure the meat paste sandwiches are fine?” asked Dick, “Joan the housekeeper made them a week ago”.
“You’ll eat them anyway, you tubby bastard,” Anne replied. And she was right, they all ate them.

Excerpt from Five Get the Squirts (Enid Blyton, 1951)

There is a huge underestimation of the social damage done by making so many people move so often. Renting in the UK was the worst I've experienced having also done so in Canada, the US and Germany.

So no, this is not "anger at nothing at all".

The problem isn't property-owning, or even landlordism, it's evicting tenants for what look a lot like financial reasons. You can't do that and retain moral authority to serve as the minister charged with combating homelessness. This was not just a financial transaction: she took away someone's home

Whatever you think of the people suggesting this sort of thing is not a problem, surely if one knew ones software was embarrassingly shite at producing maps one would simply stop it doing that?

A bus stop for LA Metro's 20 in Koreatown is surrounded by trash, furniture and tarp forts.

Hi! This is a thread about one of my (way too) many terrifying experiences in LA with crackheads (I use this word because I won't use euphemisms that lump all homeless people together), and my frustrations and hopes for safety on transit in LA. Please keep an open mind and respond constructively.

Set a reminder for September 16th. That's when this bitch Sean Duffy and his lawyers have to cook up some insane justification for the CAHSR clawback. Can't wait to read it. Honestly, this will be really funny.

Interesting and nuanced piece from @Kirsty_Maj0r on works of art which are privately owned but tax exempt on the basis that the public can view them. But not made easy in practice!

Not that I am casting any aspersions re any author. It just seems to be a bit of a thing

You may be able to guess which book I am reading (listening to).

What is it with late middle aged (ish) men making their young female characters gay / bi?
I have concerns that it is not always purely from a disinterested striving for inclusivity

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

Love how the police are just like ‘obvs she was an informer’. Like how else could she be so prolific.

What's the opposite of clickbait?

A lot of it is on YouTube. It is very ITV children's drama. The credits are very evocative, but I recommend you don't watch a whole episode

The TV theme version is as you would expect different from the album version. I do like both. There is a Judith Durham version I like too - the video someone has done is incorrect as it is not as in the aurora borealis but as in the lights of Northern England youtu.be/E6gsu3Oi7r8?...
