A national newspaper journalist went on a British TV channel to claim police stats showed asylum-seekers committed 44% of sex crimes in Dorset.

This shocking claim was treated as fact by the channel which promoted the clip on social media where it was amplified by AI.

Except... it's bollocks.

The niche moment I'm waiting for is Kemi Badenoch denouncing whichever government was in charge when Davie was appointed.

Google Keep list called "kick the SAD in the butt" referring to Seasonal Affective Disorder. List is as follows: "are you ACTUALLY hydrated tho? like actually? coffee doesn't count", "your weight goals don't outweigh your brain thinking you deserve to be alive, have a damn treat if it'll help", "speaking of your wellbeing, you do actually need oxygen, so when was the last time you had a big gulp of fresh air?", "literally just watch lord of the rings again, just do it, you know it helps", "CAN I PET THAT DAWG?! yes.", "have you considered that maybe rotting in bed is bad for your mental health? is it perhaps possible to rot on the sofa instead, with some lights on and a cup of tea?", "the Simpsons", "your friends are literally the best medicine for when your brain gets like this, and NO THEY DON'T HATE YOU"

Monday nights are for hijacking the charity Bsky account to encourage you to MAKE A LIST! 📝

What goes on that list is up to you, but if you know you're impacted by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) then prep for when it hits. 💚

Here's mine for inspo! ✨ It needs a tidy but the vibes are immaculate.

Hey @zackpolanski.bsky.social I hear you are talking to Laura Kuenssberg tomorrow morning?

Can you ask her why this story is being exposed by a 3-week-old-old outlet @thenerve.news & not the BBC?? 🤔

“Kent county council, which has a £2.5bn annual budget and is one of 10 where Nigel Farage’s party has outright control, is considered to be a make or break showcase for whether Reform can be trusted to competently govern before a general election.”

A person is shown crouching on a wide, sandy beach facing out to sea but staring into the phone in their hand. The figure, dressed in what appears to be a grey or dark suit jacket and trousers with black shoes, is positioned low to the ground near the water's edge, their back slightly turned towards the viewer. Their head is bowed, and they are looking down at photos on their mobile. The beach itself is a vast expanse of light brown, wet sand, marked with subtle undulations and moisture from the receding waves. The colour of the sand transitions from a darker, saturated brown near the water to a lighter, drier yellowy tone further up the shore. The ocean occupies the upper half of the frame, its surface a series of parallel, gentle waves. The foamy white crests of these waves create a natural, flowing pattern across the water, their lines running from the left to the right side of the image. The water is a soft, muted tone, reflecting the overcast sky and appearing in shades of light brown, gray, and off-white. The overall composition is serene and somewhat contemplative, with the solitary figure as the focal point. The image has a soft, muted colour palette, dominated by earthy tones of brown and grey, with the bright white foam of the waves providing contrast. The perspective is from above, looking down at the person and the beach, which emphasises the vastness of the natural environment and the smallness of the human figure within it. The lighting is soft and diffused, indicative of an overcast day. The scene evokes a sense of quiet solitude and introspection.

The left overwhelmingly has condemned the killing of Kirk and offered condolences to his family in this terrible time. The right has declared “war” and demanded revenge before we even have a suspect in custody.

We have all become addicted to drama, scandal & hyperbole. Some of us are trying to wean ourselves off it & focus on stuff like this. But it can sometimes feel like being a vegetarian at a barbecue.
