🔴 Nigel Farage’s Long History of Crying ‘Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections

The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party’s election defeats on “cheating” by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found.

First piece back at @bylinetimes.bsky.social

Have we officially reached the point where "Team America : World Police" is just a documentary ?

So my question about this: How many times does there have to be extremely obvious insider trading on Polymarket before people stop betting against shit like this? Like, if you place this kind of bet, don't people have to disagree and bet against you for you to make money?

It will probably be a month or so before the house reaches the true neutral energy cost. However I had the first free tank of hot water today. About 4kWh of excess #solargeneration went into the hot water and almost 6kWh to the grid.

I have finally managed to get #iplayer on the same row as the other frequently accessed apps on my #SonyTV thanks to #projectivity replacing the home screen. The day I just hardwire the TV to one of the HDMI ports has been put off for a little longer.

Printed my first temperature tower to calibrate the non-bambu filament for #3dprinting. The eldest has requested some organisational units.

Many months in and I’m an annoyingly big Godot fan. Just a lovely tool, smartly produced and maintained. Excited to see what the next few years hold for it, and happy to be a part of that community. Looking forward to shipping something built with it.

I hope this time the Iranian people really do break free of the regime.

It's the period between Christmas and New Year so its time for #39c3. This was a nice guide to how #fex_emu works. Their "hack" for dealing with memory ordering vs some game engines does raise an eyebrow or two. I would have liked to know more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yDXyW1WERg

Please test and report any regressions that need fixing for the final release. There are a number of new emulated #arm64 features in this release including FEAT_GCS and […]

Apropos of yesterdays #vibe coding thread I do have one other observation. Looking at the #api usage stats you can clearly see how many more api calls and tokens are processed when using it this way. All those tokens can quickly add up to extra costs - my individual queries are basically noise […]

We're ready to take a chainsaw to the Brexit read tape. Are you?

I had a play with #vibe coding today to get an idea of its limitations. Obviously as I'm an inveterate #emacs user I needed something integrated to my editor so I thought I would try out #eca which comes with Emacs integration as a first class citizen […]

Nigel Farage has spent £1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.
