They hold different and mostly lesser bigotries but Polanski is a grifter who explicitly campaigned on the basis of being populist and their policies are unworkable at best. Let's not pretend they are anything other than a symptom of collapse in public trust. They arent offering solutions.

Is 'life and social sciences' refer to life sciences as in applied biology or a different kind of life sciences?

Well I grew up a literal stones throw from it and never dipped so much as a toe in.

Bollocks it's about helping the bright but poor. Absolute bollocks. If they wanted that they'd be arguing to link school funding to deprivation.

The key thing is it's never their children they think won't get in. It's really about extending the snobbery and privilege of private schools down to the upper middle class who can no longer afford them.

I saw an otter in the water of Leith last month, it's cleaner than it was...

Crank parties don't police this stuff with any particular enthusiasm though.

They're all awful cunts, basically.

Wondering when the first refineries start mysteriously catching fire.

This potentially ends with the Americans having far fewer bases in the middle east, doesn't it? And in Europe.

I think they are well aware they are the bad guys. And they love it.

And how many jira tickets have you progressed this morning?

A war crime, but because it was committed by Americans nobody will be charged.

Yeah, he does monstrous things for the greater good, but fails in that greater good. Loses everything. Then he gets shivved.

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Surprisingly little examination of the performance of the Scottish Greens by pundits opining on Polanskis mob and what they'd do with power. Above all else, and this is entirely independent of opinions about their policies, they were astonishingly inept in government, and nasty with it.

She lived round the corner from us when I was a youngling and before she became successful.

Prize winning author, Kate Atkinson, babysat me.

Kae Tempest. The aural equivalent of eating this stuff dry.

Well, overthrow that Norman yoke...

Genuinely think the solution to at least some of the UK's political problems with separatism is to establish a modern day Kingdom Of Northumbria and Strathclyde, but have the capital in Edinburgh. The rest of Scotland becomes Alba and from the midlands down you have England & Wales.

I wouldn't like to be in or anywhere near Bhurj Khalifa.

Ah, the goons, the Men of Goondor.

If Zelensky isn't screwing them for every long and medium range missile they have, then he's a better person than I am.

Quite funny how America has suddenly found itself needing friends and allies.

Well, the number of people who have abetted a war crime has now extended to the management in Anthropic and anyone who worked on this product for the US military.
