Mike from the UK. True.

32,000 of your Earth pounds, if you can find them anywhere.

So "Invasion imminent" I guess.

In this instance (as in many others) I suspect Hegseth has no idea what the term 'no quarter' means.

He's just started wearing these long trousers and wants to show he's a big boy now.

He's insane isn't he? I mean actually insane.

Pete Hegseth: “The only thing prohibiting transit in [the Strait of Hormuz] right now is Iran shooting at shipping. It is open for transit should Iran not do that.”

What a fucking idiot.

Attack of the Stray Capitals. Beware, it's catching.....

I saw one at Twycross zoo a few years ago. Quite disturbing to see this man-sized bird just walking around.

A good quote from "Don't Look Up" - "they're not even smart enough to be as evil as you think they are"

You've got him pegged.

I'm pleased they included an unreadable image of the bathroom door sign.

"do you want us to do the photos?"
"nah - I've got it covered"
"okay - just make sure they are done in good daylight, or turn all the lights on ... and wait for a guy in a hi-viz jacket to call around and be in the kitchen."

Israel hits Iran with new strikes as US eases Russia oil sanctions - follow live The one-month waiver on buying Russian oil and petroleum already at sea won't

Very nice of the US to "allow" other countries to buy Russian oil - who made them arbiter? Very nice for Putin of course.

For Be Funny Or Die, I stumbled upon the theory that the difference between drama and comedy might simply be down to the pace of data processing. Watch this ad, with the time clock in the corner, and see how fast your brain parses comic data. Set up, development, pay off, often in under a second.

They come around so regularly, don't they?

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your crotch if you’re using ChatGPT as a search tool.

And the rest of you, have a great Friday!

We are still short of people to stand as Reform candidates in the local elections, so if you are a racist, an ex-con, a horrible twat or even just a bit thick and gullible, we'd like to hear from you.

Thanks. Visited the site many many years ago.

(1/2) 37 years ago today I submitted my proposal for the World Wide Web 🎂. Today, Rosemary & I spoke with students in New Orleans at Walter Isaacson's Digital History Class @tulaneu.bsky.social. I was asked, as I often am, if I ever could have foreseen where we’d be today. I could not.

The image presents a report indicating significant media bias against Muslims in the UK, highlighting negative portrayals and specific outlets.

We have a real problem in this country with how the press portrays and writes about Muslims.

This story is just another example of that.

It will be no surprise if you follow my work that the Telegraph and Daily Mail are two of the worst offenders🙄

Daily Mail Headline: Pupils' drawings could be blasphemous under Islamic law, Labour councils tell schools - while music and dance classes may go against the teachings of Islam

Oh boy! What a headline...

Ask yourself:

"What am I being asked to believe?"

"Who am I being told to blame?"

Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on.

Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵

Is this publicly available?

One of my favourite books growing up. A trilogy I think.

That's like saying Igor Tudor has the full support of the Spurs board.

Martin Lewis has/had a nice explainer somewhere. I always find that the people who say "I can't accept that, it's not legal tender" are the same who would invoke the Magna Carta.
