Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.

Palantir Wants to Be a Lifestyle Brand Defense tech giant Palantir is selling T-shirts and tote bags as part of a bid to encourage fans to publicly endorse it.

Hey Palantir, why not go the whole hog with branded tazers, cable ties, hoods and cattle prods? You know, all the lifestyle accessories favoured by dictators and authoritarian regimes. Next you'll be saying that Nazis had a good logo and mission statement.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch.

Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.

Between being called The Butcher's Apron and right now, the Union Jack had a period where it stood for fairness, justice, tolerance and welcome and I bloody well resent it being appropriated by those who have in their hearts none of the above.

Trump to scrap landmark finding that regulates carbon emissions Experts warn the move will severely curb the federal government's ability to combat climate change.

No doubt this is what man-made climate change-denying Andrea Jenkyns would like to see happen here. All the Reform types say their anti-migrant protest is about protecting children but that doesn't extend to passing on a habitable planet. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Shithouse headline of the day
%age of UK population born abroad = 16%. If prison pop. reflected that it should be c1 in 6 prisoners - but as it is, foreign-born people c22% less likely to be in prison - but that won't play well with the Times white-collar knuckle dragger readers

Israel's a country where for many the red mist's descended. The blood lust's up and kept up by those whose political lives depend on the genocide continuing. But when the last medic's been bombed, the last journalist shot & the last family buried alive, who's next?

Lego City set. Non-identified Federal Goon Squad. Seems more relevant now than when it was made in 2020.

This just came up in my FB memories, from FIVE YEARS AGO! Lego always was ahead of their time.

For those bitching about lowering voting age - young people will be the most impacted by the climate change. They see many of the supposed adults in the room - mainly those doing the bitching - doing Jack Shit and decrying Net Zero targets. It's only right they should have a say.

Just figured out why Trump's head is orange.
He is, in medical parlance, termed PP - Pumpkin Positive
Shine a torch in his ear and the whole head lights up.

Would all those, on the Right and Left, who were so enraged by Bob Vylan at Galastobury care to weigh in with the same level of vociferousness on this?
Yvette Cooper - perhaps we'll see the Orange Order being proscribed with the same speed as Palestine Action?

Judges don't rule by decree. That's the deranged orange demagogue style. They rule on the law.

My cake effort this year for 13 year old daughter. Meal and games with friends at board game cafe followed by D&D film at mini cinema in an old video rental place. And an Eye of Sauron cake. πŸ€“

The @BBCNews' motto is "Nation shall speak peace unto nation". The motto was adopted by the BBC in 1927, when it was formed. It now now has a caveat: "unless it's about the Israeli genocide in Gaza, in which case we keep silent."
