I like Iceland. And Bjork (though i like the Sugarcubes more). I'm surprised that you don't. Though to be clear, I'm not surprised that you don't like the Sugarcubes.

So is Israel not a radical force? They seem pretty radical to me, and they certainly use a lot of force.

+1 for comics podcast. I'd do this, as I love the format, but I'm absolutely out of my depth.

‘Can you tell us how he died?’: Mohamed Salah criticises Uefa over tribute to ‘Palestinian Pelé’ Footballer Suleiman al-Obeid was killed in an Israeli attack in southern Gaza last week, according to Palestine Football Association

Props to Salah for this. He's not the only footballer to stand up for something, but it's not the biggest club he's joining by doing so, making it all the more resonant.
👏👏👏

I get what you're saying, and I don't entirely disagree - there's certainly a lot of opportunistic politicking going on. But it's legitimate, even necessary, to challenge actions that erode your long-term right to support a cause, even if doing so limits your short-term effectiveness.

A man walks into a bar, and a raven is playing the Moonlight Sonata, 3rd movement. "What's going on with that bird?!" he asks.
"Sorry, that's my raven," someone says. "She takes requests if you've got $5."
"Really? You must be very proud," says the man.
"Not really. I hoped she'd become a doctor."

Very pleased to rediscover Java, which I'm sure I haven't heard since Vision On. Thanks to your post, if I achieve nothing else this morning it will still have been a successful one.

ChatGPT gave the incorrect answer to a sum that could be easily checked on any calculator. The sum was: 1.201 to the power of 0.42857 The correct answer is 1.0817, but ChatGPT gave 1.0785

I hardly use it, but when I have I've had more run-ins than useful encounters. Today it got a basic sum wrong.

It terrifies me that people are using it in the real world.

That's fantastic!

Quite. And I hope you're right. (Or 'correct' might be a better word). Time will tell. Whatever the outcome, whatever the route to it, it seems we both hope for a fairer world. 🤞

The most shocking thing about this is that it isn't even satire. Top marks from me. Awful as it is to look at, this is journalism.

Somehow this makes it even funnier.

Listening on repeat. How do I make it my ringtone?

I fully agree.

Now I’ve left Britain, here’s what you look like It’s painful to see a great country stagger while trashing its traditions and values but the view is clear from Portugal

Hey, no need to have a go. I just saw it last time around. I watched the 'left-wing' press drag him through the dirt every day, amplifying the words of others rather than risk lying themselves. I'm not without hope. I just think he's a marked man. I wish it wasn't so. But I still hope there's a way.

And yet again, pro-lifers at the NRA completely forgot to rise up and force the administration to stop sponsoring the murder of innocents.

Better late than never. UK take note.

So the story is what? Desperate people gamble, the secure and moneyed less so?

Well blow me down.

Any hint at success, and the smears will ramp back up again, and worse. Corbyn represents too much of a threat to vested interests, even on the left. Love him or hate him, I'm sure he'll again be unelectable because the media will go to great lengths to make him so.

I understand the frustration, but history tells me that every time we think Labour are worse than the Tories, the Tories get in and prove that actually they're worse yet still.

Remember when they used to get done for this? And drafting team cars too? Good times.

I'm sure I won't be the first to post this, but I'm doing it anyway because it's rare that I care little enough...

I heard they were the same person. Never saw all three in the same room anyhow.

Mass starvation spreading across Gaza, aid agencies warn, as pressure on Israel grows – Middle East crisis live More than 100 aid agencies, including Doctors Without Borders, Save the Children and Oxfam, say ‘our colleagues and those we serve are wasting away’

There can be no excuses for this barbarity. None.

If Keir Starmer wants a positive relationship with the Scottish Government, he needs to get his Environment Secretary to retract his totally inaccurate comments about Scotland’s water.

Our rivers are cleaner, our bills are lower - and public ownership delivers for people, not profit. 👇

I used to think Cleverly was stupid; the things he said, the way he spoke, the smug certainty that anyone who disagreed just couldn't see the world as clearly as he did. But since he dropped back, it's seemed as though his colleagues are even sillier than him, so this may be a smart move.

Reform tells energy firms it would scrap their clean power subsidies Richard Tice has written to firms giving them ‘formal notice’ that Reform would tear up contracts designed to boost green energy investment.

Reform should be ripped to shreds over this. The clean energy transition is incredibly popular.

Internet-safe iPhone for children goes on sale for £99 a month High price of Sage handset that doesn’t allow searches, gaming or social media apps beyond means of many UK parents

I don't think this is the answer. But more importantly, why is it £99/month? You can buy an iPhone 16 new for £800. And why, when it's so hamstrung, does it need to be so flash a phone?

I guess because ordinarily it's your kid, not the phone, that's the product.
