Three panel comic of two people talking. Text reads: WE INVENTED A ROBOT THAT ANSWERS QUESTIONS WE JUST HAVE TO FEED IT 10 BABY GIRAFFES A DAY BUT IT ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS CORRECTLY? OH MY GOODNESS, NO. NO NO NO NO NO
This comic is sublime

No drone has hit Dubai Marina. It was debris from a successful interception Everyone is ok.

I wonder if a drone has hit Dubai Marina. Or whether it was just
debris from a successful interception.
If only loads of Dubai based accounts, including Isabel Oakeshott's, could tell me.
It's no longer a "dignified" transfer when the president is wearing a baseball cap
Lmao
I love the phrase 'geribatric'!
I saw something earlier this week that said the US bombardment of Iran has used more munitions than what was given/sold to Ukraine over the past 4 years.
I just love good news.

You should read this whole thread. No skipping.
unfortunately I lost it at this extremely stupid New Yorker cartoon
I'd also like to nominate "SPECS OFFENDERS". Thank you, I yield my time.
Microsoft: frustrating the user for forty years!
Heh.
I did miss magicians off the list. They lie deliberately and with permission of the viewer, really, and that conceit is fundamental to their existence and their show.
Also they go on in the second bit to normalise AI in product development and all stages of 'work'. Argh.
the fact that Iran has all the oil that everyone uses. All the more reason to invest in renewables, I'd have thought, quite aside from the positive global effect it'd have, rather than going in all guns blazing (literally). Some seem to forget that people who live in the Middle East are people too.
I know it's difficult to distance ourselves from the USA but when they're unilaterally starting WWIII, I don't think it's a good idea to be fully supportive of the US, even if their leader is a madman. I don't understand Middle East politics but fundamentally I think the US/west just begrudge 2/n
It used to be perceived that USA were the goodies (ish). It seems to be that Israel levelling Gaza has shown Israel as a baddie, and now the US are sided with Israel. The US unilaterally attacking Iran with Israel therefore joins them with the baddies. Why are we (UK) still aligned with the US? 1/n
For some reason King Lear comes to mind.
Well, the world on its path of insanity with added irrationality, injustice and death isn't a good thing to have pumped into your brain 24/7, is it?
I think it might not seem so bad if there was some logic or plan or reason behind it, not just a cascade of madness flowing from a mad man's brain.
The American Astronomical Society has a page with more info and how you can submit comments to the FCC to stop this travesty. Hurry though; submissions end today.

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.
Yes. A MILLION.
This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

A great response. The dehumanisation of migrants must stop. Safe routes are logical if the government really care about people not making these dangerous crossings by boat
I do think we're at the stage where first and second class can be merged into one. There's no real difference in service.
A single-panel cartoon in Private Eye. Onto a photo of plumber and Green MP Hannah Spencer giving her election victory speech, with Reform's Matt Goodwin in the background, a speech balloon has been added, so that Hannah is saying: "I've stopped the cock."
Bravo, Private Eye, bravo.
Entertainment. Drama, film, theatre - acting is lying and pretending. Some game shows involve deceit and concealment. Many programmes on TV embellish or exaggerate.
If Muslims do this we call them radical terrorists and drop bombs on them.

Excuse my unspiritual language but fuck this shit.
Kanwal Sibal @KanwalSibal ... The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise. We were the hosts. I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless. The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president. The attack by the US submarine was premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind. The US has ignored India's sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India's invitation. We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack. Our"responsibility" is at a moral and human plane. A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.
This is fucking dirty behaviour from the US. I’m so ashamed to be in a allied country with its bases.
It is really a low water mark to be at war with the one of the worst regimes on Earth and manage to come away as the callous and undignified party.
WAR CRIME BY THE US.
An unarmed Iranian ship was takIng part in an Indian naval exercise, alongside the US.
The US withdrew and torpedoed the Iranian ship.
THEN the US refused to rescue the sailors, letting them drown.
This is treachery, cowardice, cruelty and a war crime of the highest order.
£250 doesn't seem very much. Is it linked to income, or a standard amount on a set scale? And is the ban linked to points on his licence already, or directly because of this? What does triggering a recall mean, do you know?
