My husband got a new ‘matrix style’ Nokia not long before we got married (July 2000) and we laughed about its “WAP” internet access

The pathetic and craven weakness of the United Kingdom (via Private Eye).

The UK is about to ban access to Wikipedia, just remember this bill was originally pitched as a means to protect kids from accessing porn.

What a great article Jonn, particularly impressed by the restraint you must have put on yourself to stay within the word count! This made me actually lol “exciting some of the cooler local teenagers”. I can’t imagine how it’s possible to run 20 trains an hour, just wonderful

Here's what a no go zone in England *really* looks like.

Ok this post was funny

Britain destroyed records of colonial crimes This article is more than 13 years old Review finds thousands of papers detailing shameful acts were culled, while others were kept secret illegally

Israel’s targeting of journalists as they document its absorption of Gaza is basically Operation Legacy (Britain’s destruction of colonial crimes) happening in real time. www.theguardian.com/uk/2012/apr/...

Ah now I remember this clown, she's also the MP who promoted gambling at a food bank, despite the fact its been very well documented how gambling companies prey on the worst off in society.

American followers: I cannot put into words how extremely good at politics you have to be to get outclassed by Richard Madeley. It’s like losing a game of tic-tac-toe to a dog.

It is the same reason Theresa May is always inches away from redemption after all the stuff she did as PM and Home Secretary

One reason is because she looks like their mum nice middle class white woman in her mid 50s and their idea of a racist is the people outside asylum hotels.

My mum does not look like Yvette Cooper. She says the middle class people were always the biggest problem racism wise.

We may have our differences, but at the end of the day when we take off our pillow cases we all have upsettingly yellow pillows

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Anas al-Sharif is the latest Palestinian journalist murdered by Israel in the largest massacre of journalists in history (read that again), for the crime of reporting Israel’s genocide to the world.

I’d say shame on western journalists who remain silent, but that ship has sailed a long time ago.

Rows of birds perched on metal beams looking like notes on a staff.

pigeons gather in scores

Hey remember when the BBC, followed by the entire media ecosystem created this tiny party's legitimacy and relevance by platforming them at every opportunity for years and years?

want to be in a throuple. not for love, just the homes i want to buy require 3x my income

"local government is worth reporting on now Reform are running councils" makes you part of the problem

I have to face people, regularly, whom I persuaded to pay me, and whom I persuaded Unbound’s model was fair and not dodgy. I have to say “no, I never got that money you gave me. Those guys I told you were trustworthy, they nicked it.”

Cursed items

Headline: How Jeremy Clarkson is keeping farm running after poor harvest?

Is the answer: "He's worth £85 million, and literally wrote in his Times column that he only bought his farm to avoid tax, while making even more money by exploiting continuously rising food prices"?

Mo Salah is asking the right questions

Likening PhD holders to a (non-functional) algorithm is a form of dehumanisation & anti-intellectualism that is a bellwether for contemporary fascism. Essentially it's a typical — if not the archetypal — first step towards fascism: to dehumanise, deskill, defund, and, ultimately, fire the academics.

There are millions of people in this country who can't even contemplate things like having a family, because in the private rental sector things like this happen - you can have to move with very little notice. A minister helping combat that can't also be contributing to the problem.

The past decade of politics on both sides of the Atlantic is an object lesson in how the centrist strategy of selling out fundamental principles in exchange for comparatively minor concessions has been a catastrophe that has accelerated fascism’s ascent. We don’t have time for this shit anymore.

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

The crux of their argument is that if they're found liable, then the consequences of their own actions that no one forced them to take could ruin them and the rest of their industry that undertakes similar practices.

To which I say motherfucker did you never hear about Napster

Who will buy this wonderful morning still leaps into my head when I open the window to a nice day! Glad it was good x
