This is incredibly shit but also completely unsurprising. Every single large corporate in the UK is dropping everything useful or sustainable they might have been doing in favour of miraculous snake oil sold by grifters

The Us & Israel entered a war illegally and vaporised a school filled with young girls, and Mr Law is like “I think that was bad” before offering the use of our air bases so they can continue to murder civilians.

An absolutely amazing thread of Americans being mortally offended that a post is not about them

This is an, err, interesting take on parliamentary democracy from the leader of a major party.

PET SHOP BOYS
'HIT MUSIC'
1987

Obviously they have a lot of contenders, but this is my earliest memory of a sudden tempo shift and "painting pictures with music"

(in this case, it sounds like a club emptying at the night's end)

3:39 - 4:45

I had to.

The Masters of the Universe are continually exposing themselves as the biggest idiots in the world.

Dubai built a bunch of skscrapers over the past two decades and that fooled Western financiers into thinking it was the safest place in the world.

I am vehemently opposed to every part of this idiotic and sadistic war except for bad thing happening to Dubai, the single city I despise more than any other on Earth.

Diane Abbott asks Starmer about the similarities between whats happening now & the Iraq war.

In reply Starmer says: "We have learnt the lessons of Iraq"

Chilcot found the UK govt exaggerated the threat as a pretext for war & had no plan. So what exactly has the govt learnt?

it is actually impressive how bewilderingly shitty we've made the simple act of buying a train ticket in this country

"I'm not sure that anyone who voted Green (in Gorton and Denton) works" says Nigel Farage.

So not just smearing the winners of the by-election his party just lost, but all of their voters too.

The British love affair with Dubai largely developed after I left the UK and I find it completely baffling and alien. Even as a holiday destination there are so many better options a short flight away!

It sounds as if the girls' school bombed in Iran used to be part of an IRGC base, but was separated at least a decade ago. One wonders if people selecting targets were working off old materials. The visuals are horrifying.

Imagine having one of the most influential journalism positions in the world and using it to launder the most obscene war crimes.

In 48 hours I've seen the song on which I wished m-pox *and* 'Dere's More To Oirland Dan Dis' ranked in the top half of 10s lists.

Surely I've now seen it all. Surely.

sorry your holiday in the legal slavery zone run by the mad kings was ruined. maybe consider cleethorpes next year?

Yeah, er, the issue with this was highlighted yesterday with

"Olivia Dean had a great night at the Brits... [story]... also it was a night to remember for many people in Iran, but for many different reasons."

It's no secret where I'm coming from - BBC News is utterly broken at every level.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have ‘voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

And that's meant as a compliment to Newsround, which never talked down to children.

And if you didn't know what the Home Secretary was or did, you asked, looked at a paper, or maybe caught the early evening news.

In common with 6 Music, the worst thing about BBC Radio 1 is the news.

Sub-Newsround crap that even refuses to use terms like 'Home Secretary' and 'Chancellor', instead finding a dozen or so patronising words to say what they do/are.

New low this morning when they did the same with "refugees".

@bbc5live.bsky.social I’ve been listening since 6am

They have had numerous commentators on discussing the 9 killed in Isreal but not one mention of the 175 killed at a girls school in Iran by Isreal

The BBC are cleary closing ranks to get the Israeli message out there

X We're sorry! The post you are replying to has been deleted. Otto English Under a Reform government we'd currently be throwing ourselves into war with Iran. Don't let anyone ever tell you that all parties are the same. I am trying to reply to this with the words: This may need some revision with the events of the last few hours. But I can't because it was deleted.

A bit of humour on this dark evening

We didn't appear out of thin air.

Just naked racism from Farage and the Mail.

Only British and commonwealth citizens are allowed to vote. It's not 'stealing' to legally take part in your own country's elections

If you're really "retiring" it's the perfect send-off!

Most people's reaction to Hannah Spencer is:
- She seems nice
- She is talking sense
- A plumber? Cool
- Nice coat / hair / dog

Columnists and politicians telling us that she's some radical left fanatic honestly makes them sound like they're frothing at the mouth. Arses out all over the place.

We really need to ramp up the 'Cleese died and was replaced with a double after A Fish Called Wanda' conspiracy, for his own sake.

AMAARAE, 'Fountain Baby' (USA/Ghana, 2023), sleeve. Picture of the artist (head, shoulders, chest) under a water fountain, head cast to her right (our left). She is wearing a white top which is wet, and a crucifix necklace. Background is an electric blue wall.

Cover of BLACK STAR, an album by Amaarae, in which the artist is dressed in black and seated in such a way as to represent the black star in the flag of Ghana. Backdrop is the three coloured stripes of said flag: top red, middle yellow, bottom green.

Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropic’s Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran. The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations.

The WSJ is reporting that AI, specifically Claude, was used in targeting for the attacks by the Epstein Empire.

That would mean the use of AI led directly to the massacre of 115 schoolchildren and 20 volleyball players.

In which, at 3:27, some papers rustle and Venetian Snares turns up with a brilliantly incongruous yet magnificent electronic outro.
