Have the Current ever asked themselves why the demographics of the fanbase don't tend to match the demographics of the city at large or is that just something they don't want to ever address?

a thing historians will marvel about when they study this era is the extent to which the "war is a thing that happens to poorer, browner people" class went about systematically dismantling every aspect of the global political order that confined the costs of war to poorer and browner people

Not to rain on everyone's parade here, but is anyone else getting all the red flags from this security initiative called 'The Shield of the Americas?'

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

When I was in Lyon in 2019, I found a place near where I was staying that did chicken tikka [naan] rolls, that stayed open until about 4am, they got me through the last leg of the World Cup

It's a choice whether or not you celebrate Juneteenth. It's a choice whether or not you celebrate Pride. It's a choice whether or not you participate in and honor the celebrations of historically marginalized groups.

Choose wisely.

This is amazing. Genuinely thought it was from The Onion when I first glanced at the title.

Women's Africa Cup of Nations confusion - What are CAF and Morocco doing with WAFCON 2026? We are supposedly two weeks away from the Women's AFCON. But will it go ahead? How did we get here, what happens next, and how can CAF's stated commitment to the women's game be trusted after this lat...

It's CAF so it could be any number of things, but from last month it was looking like the FRMF were either being pissy or were just underequiped to deal with the imminent WAFCON www.espn.co.uk/espn/story/_...

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

For real, I really need people to please stop going, "Look! The chatbot 'told' me..." with things. See: www.readtpa.com/p/grok-cant-...

Yet another reason why I walk around my house with my earphones in most of the time, not that that stops him from talking at me.

He sat there smoking, talking about how no one would shed any tears over whats happening in the ME, watching me unload the dishwasher but blocking my path to things away. "Can you make me dinner tonight" (nope, out seeing a film) "What about Monday? I'm so busy... I think AI's a really good thing."

Went downstairs and my dad asked me to unload the dishwasher, was busy said I'd do it when I'd be down next. Went down 20mins later, he was sat at the kitchen table, "can you unload the dishwasher now, I'm too busy."
