A president who threatens allies is not a partner, he is a risk. Tariffs batter supply chains, wages and investment, and Trump will aim them at any democracy that resists. Britain should deepen European cooperation, not bet on Washingtonβs mood swings.

The new app isn't as good as the old one, too much scrolling, the new map is nearly covered by time bar, some of it mph others in km, and cannot find a way of changing.
Location is out, say I live in a different town, old app was always accurate.

Freedom Pass row: Is it a fair perk or an expensive policy?
The Freedom Pass allows residents over 66 to travel across the capital for free.
This sort of thing pings me off, the 60 plus pass isn't free travel, it is subsidized, as one has to pay, a very reduced cost every year, I admit. This is different to free.

Seventy-five years ago, Britain helped write the European Convention on Human Rights. It protects fairness, liberty and the rule of law. Those attacking it now are not defending Britain. They are trying to free government from accountability. We must defend it.

People like Robert Jenrick and Nigel Farage are increasingly looking at people who are not white and suggesting that they can't be British.
That in itself is fundamentally un-British.

screengrab of Youtube video which shows a highly realistic but AI-faked Neanderthal frozen mummy face as if it's being excavated from an ice block, with tools adjacent.. The title is "Frozen In Ice: The Neanderthal Girl Who Rewrote HIstory".
Screengrab of Youtube video titled "Neanderthals' Hidden Language? The Sumbols No One Expected". The image is an AI-rendering of male Neanderthal inside a cave upon whose walls (and floating in the air) are neon symbols, of which is a crucifix.
πΊ Yet more #Neanderthal AI slop polluting YouTube, and one of these videos as usual claims my book is a source (in other words scraped, presumably from pirate copying).
This stuff is so deeply unethical, exploitative of authors AND viewers (who even subscribes to such channels?!).

The UN has confirmed what we already knew: Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians.
Only last week our government were denying this reality and continue to sell arms to Netanyahu's genocidal regime.
They must wake up and act now to end the genocide.
