We are now at the stage where all those who knew him in the past have warned us that Nigel Farage is unfit to be PM. About the same stage as when those who knew him in the past warned us that Boris Johnson was unfit to be PM.

"Gavin Newsom, has vetoed our menopause bill, not one, but two years in a row, But thatโ€™s OK, because heโ€™s not going to be governor forever, and the way he has overlooked womenโ€ฆ by devaluing us, he probably should not be our next president either."

An extraordinary story. I knew bits of it, but to hear it set out so clearly is a revelation. Outstanding work by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social and @peterjukes.bsky.social

Former Dulwich pupil says Farage told him: โ€˜Thatโ€™s the way back to Africaโ€™ Exclusive: Yinka Bankole says he was compelled to speak out after Reform leaderโ€™s attempts to dismiss hurt of alleged targets

"Bankole, 54, an engineer, said once his 'existence as a target was established', Farage 'would wait at the lower-school gate, where I was dropped off for school, so as to repeat the vulgarity'." www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Mehdi Pays Tribute To His Late Father
YouTube video by Zeteo Mehdi Pays Tribute To His Late Father

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK.

He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen.

His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

Happy "Cloudflare is fucked again" day to all who celebrate.

Tech people should not be having meetings. Tech people should be doing tech. Tech is better than people.

I favour the world wide web model. If that had been developed in the same way as Gen AI, we wouldn't have Gen AI.

New recycling tech recovers nearly pure nickel and cobalt from old EV batteries Researchers have developed an eco-friendly recycling tech that extracts 99 percent pure nickel and cobalt from waste batteries.

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals

Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is

He is definitely leaving a trail of blood in the water for the sharks.... not much sympathy, to say the least. Hopefully, he will soon be referred to as "beleaguered". This also highlights his unlikeability and his thin amphibian skin.

Likewise, I don't care so much other than he probably thinks the same now as he did then, so he can't condemn Young Nigel and apologise, especially as his vitriol was unusual for the time, even with racism on the telly etc.

The thing is, Farageโ€™s racism was establishment racism. The establishment (his Public School) protected him and supported him, just as over recent decades the establishment (in particular the BBC) has protected him.

I have to admit, I can live without AI generated artwork. The likely scarcity of RAM made me think about this yesterday, restricting and prioritising AI use.

I am sure that the BBC has apologised for offence caused by past productions, unlike Farage, and Farage etc are happy to criticise BBC for not showing It Ain't Half Hot Mum again., which shoots his argument in the foot.
