Nice. Even nicer iron table.

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom breakโ€”never notify parents.

Mother reported him missing a week agoโ€”turns out ICE had him detained the whole time.

He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroomโ€”by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone.

And the one on the right is clearly Reform, so I guess all their hopes are invested in the Dr Who enthusiast.

Starmer should be pushing this at every opportunity, not leaving it to a Tory grandee.

Interesting.
Country that already loses 167000 working days each year due to hangovers bids to increase growth by, err, encouraging people to stay out drinking for longer...

The third one is clearly thinking about voting Reform.

We need constantly to remind ourselves that there's nothing normal or inevitable about it. It would be a catastrophe from which we would not recover for many years, in which terrible things are done, to minorities, to vulnerable people, to the rest of the living planet. We cannot let it happen.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.๐Ÿงต

Or more to the point, they didn't want us wondering why some greek guy didn't have to pay tax and was above the law.

Given all the hoo-hah over refugees today, I guess you can see their thinking.

It's because he was a greek bloke, and perhaps more importantly the heir to the deposed Greek throne (I think).

Basically it's about the House and presumed power relationship with the couple. The British state didn't want to pass hereditary rights to the Battenburgs, or something like that.

Just how many threatening asteroids are there? It's complicated. You don't have anything to worry about right now, scientists emphasize.

It could be. One just missed us last week, and although that wasn't big enough to wipe out the human race, one that was passed by last month which was earlier calculated to be likely to hit us.

I would say that's the point but the point is climate change WILL hit us.

This is obviously not true, but even with that caveat, Meta would flag you as a liar. That's why I'm here. Meta is going to hell.

Seriously America, what were you thinking?

In the 1930s democracy was new and people didn't realise how fragile democracy and the role of law were; you knew, and over half of you chose to vote for fascists.

This is so so awful. He left four children (all Americans, not that it should matter) and a grieving wife (also an American, not that it should matter)

Hey news publishers, like all news consumers I read multiple sources to get the truth.

If you use a paywall, you won't be one of them. That's why your hits are so low and why you make a loss.

I get you want to be paid, but you need to find a way to do that with advertising like real newspapers.

Works for me, more often than I care to admit.

It's unbelievable that ICE are grabbing and disappearing people like this, and also ignoring court orders without consequence.
I hope she's found and returned.

I think the Pi 400/500 is a nice bit of kit that really captures the form factor of the 80s. Its tactile and nice and powerful. I've never found a use for it though.

I spend about 4 hours a day on my Next, mostly building software to bring the modern (Pi500esque) experience to the 80s hotrod. ๐Ÿคท

Spectrum Next #Delphian progress: added some flight controls (so had to add pitch up/down), and added a few more sprites, so here's me flying around a bit. I think I can live with the frame rate, and perhaps I can optimise the code a bit more. ๐Ÿ™‚
