The BBC News website has pages & pages of coverage related to farmers protesting inheritance tax, including events where only a few hundred turn out.

In London yesterday 100,000 people marched for trans rights, and nothing.

Imagine if it was 100,000 anti immigrant activists, they'd cover that.

White text on white background instructing LLMs to give positive reviews is apparently now common enough to show up in searches for boilerplate text.

In the world Labour is creating you can be as enthusiastic as you like about genocide but it will be a criminal offence to express support for Palestine Action's attempts to stop it.

Thanks to NPR for explaining that due to the ancient, mysterious culture of Persia, Iranians "don't like to be attacked" npr.org/2025/06/16/n...

@samrobertsv.bsky.social Loving all the track design vids, definitely feels like a niche you're filling well!

Maybe it's a bit pedestrian (less photoshop required!) but I think it'd be really interesting to see you tierlist all the existing tracks... if they were run in reverse?

He is charged with is intentionally encouraging or assisting the commission of an either-way offence, after allegedly encouraging people to damage ULEZ cameras in London in posts on X

He pleaded not guilty.

I saw this for the first time only recently, and was kinda surprised how good it was compared to its reputation. Classic 'Star Wars fans will complain about anything' I guess. If anything I think they should have leant _harder_ into its unique comedic tone!

I think 10s is the default now unless there's mitigating circumstances, and tbh I'm surprised with the danger element in the pitlane it wasn't more. Hopefully RBR get a fine too.

cant wait for the end of Warhammer40k wherein gork n mork storm the imperial palace and look for the emperor to challenge him to a fight, only for mork to sit down on the golden throne and accidentally killing the emperor of mankind #warhammer40k #real

absolutely WILD to me that a man like Starmer would ever even contemplate a career in politics. He doesn't believe in anything. He doesn't stand for anything. He doesn't inspire anything.

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help.
If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite."

-Pope Francis

Please don't make me be the new pope. I don't want to work at Christmas or weekends and I don't know the words to all the prayers. I AM NOT CUT OUT FOR THIS JOB. I URGE YOU TO CHOOSE SOMEONE ELSE.

The regret rate for gender transition is less than 0.3% (as compared with an average of 14% for surgery in general and 7% for having kids!) but the media loves to find and platform a regretter.

Trans women are women and no court judgement can change that. Without wanting to diminish the negative effect that legal oppression has on trans lives, there is no reason why lawyers and judges are qualified to make this argument over actual experts in the field.

BECAUSE WE HAVE A VACCINE. AND, UNTIL RECENTLY, ALMOST EVERYONE TOOK IT.

Remarkably, nowhere in the article does the word "vaccine" appear.

Why philosophers hate that ‘equity’ meme If you want to annoy your favorite philosopher, one of the best ways to do it these days is to mention the “kids standing on boxes equity meme.” To call it the bane of our existence would be something...

Tech tip for people who are not as good at computers as me:

A great way to organise your files is by storing them in "folders". And the most useful part is that computers are so advanced nowadays that they automatically number your folders so that you can easily tell them apart 👍

Charles Rogers has been whitewashed off the DOD website by abhorrent incels who fear their own insignificance. Please, share his face & his Medal of Honour citation far & wide.

Citation reads: For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty. Lt. Col. Rogers, Field Artillery, distinguished himself in action while serving as commanding officer, 1st Battalion, during the defense of a forward fire support base. In the early morning hours, the fire support base was subjected to a concentrated bombardment of heavy mortar, rocket and rocket propelled grenade fire. Simultaneously the position was struck by a human wave ground assault, led by sappers who breached the defensive barriers with bangalore torpedoes and penetrated the defensive perimeter. Lt. Col. Rogers with complete disregard for his safety moved through the hail of fragments from bursting enemy rounds to the embattled area. He aggressively rallied the dazed artillery crewmen to man their howitzers and he directed their fire on the assaulting enemy. Although knocked to the ground and wounded (continued on next image)

by an exploding round, Lt. Col. Rogers sprang to his feet and led a small counterattack force against an enemy element that had penetrated the howitzer positions. Although painfully wounded a second time during the assault, Lt. Col. Rogers pressed the attack killing several of the enemy and driving the remainder from the positions. Refusing medical treatment, Lt. Col. Rogers reestablished and reinforced the defensive positions. As a second human wave attack was launched against another sector of the perimeter, Lt. Col. Rogers directed artillery fire on the assaulting enemy and led a second counterattack against the charging forces. His valorous example rallied the beleaguered defenders to repulse and defeat the enemy onslaught. Lt. Col. Rogers moved from position to position through the heavy enemy fire, giving encouragement and direction to his men. At dawn the determined enemy launched a third assault against the (continued on next image)

fire base in an attempt to overrun the position. Lt. Col. Rogers moved to the threatened area and directed lethal fire on the enemy forces. Seeing a howitzer inoperative due to casualties, Lt. Col. Rogers joined the surviving members of the crew to return the howitzer to action. While directing the position defense, Lt. Col. Rogers was seriously wounded by fragments from a heavy mortar round which exploded on the parapet of the gun position. Although too severely wounded to physically lead the defenders, Lt. Col. Rogers continued to give encouragement and direction to his men in the defeating and repelling of the enemy attack. Lt. Col. Rogers' dauntless courage and heroism inspired the defenders of the fire support base to the heights of valor to defeat a determined and numerically superior enemy force. His relentless spirit of aggressiveness in action are in the highest traditions of the military service and reflects great credit upon himself. his unit. and the U.S. Army.

Oh.

Hello, I’m a disruptor, very smart, here to create efficiency. I’m just going to drill holes in the bottom of this boat to see which parts of the hull are mission-critical.

This little guy is a postcard from my collection that was mailed in 1908. I love him so much that I use him as my avatar for all my accounts!
