German media conglomerate Axel Springer announced today it is purchasing the U.K.’s Telegraph Media Group.
The SDLP has published it's 'Preparing For a New Ireland' policy document.
It's refreshing and some might even say unconventional, for a policy document promoting Irish Unity. It asks tough questions and provides concrete answers.
Thought provoking!

I have folders names that begin with numbers (often years, but also just sequential lists), on an external hard drive. Finder in Columns view cannot display these correctly in order. It works fine if I’m opening a doc from another app, but Finder itself just vomits them into whatever order it feels.
So he just threw all that credibility to the wind by joining Labour while Starmer is still in situ? You can’t claim to be impressed by a party‘s direction when it has u-turned 15-odd times in 18 months. Any good work by Khan or Miliband is undermined by front line messaging, seemingly deliberately
European gas prices surged up to +50% within hours after the US–Israeli strikes on Iran and LNG disruptions in Qatar.
Meanwhile, major US LNG exporters saw their share prices jump.
When fossil fuel prices rise in Europe, profits rise for fossil fuel companies elsewhere.
The EU has shown pathetic timidity towards those two rogue nations; giving up all semblance of commercial sovereignty by begging Trump not to raise tariffs; contorting themselves into oblivion to maintain ‘normal’ relations with Israel throughout their genocidal campaign in Gaza.
They could sell a collective total of ten copies and it would all be BBC News and radio staff devoting the rest of the week’s coverage to their concerns. The rot in UK news media is the determination by the establishment players to prevent the ’market’ deciding which titles are influential.
I’m now of the opinion that the comedy dept of the likes of the BBC is deliberately tasked with diminishing the seriousness of government wrongdoing. The court jester is still a court insider.
‘If you don’t laugh, you’d cry!’
Yes, because milquetoast PMs keep dragging us into US imperialism!
‘British journalists are being “played like an instrument” when they publish stories based on government leaks and anonymous sources. There is also no way for proper public scrutiny to be placed on such a source.’
A ‘source close to the PM’ is a hobo who stumbled into Whitehall for all we know
It would appear that European governments will only say the United States is acting against international law when…
…the threat is against a European territory such as Greenland.
The United States of America and Israel has just bombed a school full of students in Iran.
~40 students killed and 48 injured.
This violates Article 52 of Additional Protocol (I) Geneva Conventions, but international law clearly doesn't apply to the U.S. and Israel.
I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.
Burning the GDP of small countries on server farms that have a life span of about 3 years before they need upgraded, to power a service that after 3 years of hype has failed to show any profitable use case, reliable functionality (still hallucinating), or tangible reason to exist.
The problem with capitalism is eventually you run out of other people’s money.
Why are the broadcast studios even asking for their opinion today? Count Binface has had better election results and didn’t get national airtime.
“The DOW Jones is at $50,000. That’s what we should be talking about.”
Someone please ask her where Zac Goldsmith’s mayoral campaign fits into her interpretation of divisive politics.
The last paragraph, followed by the second last paragraph would have been a perfectly fine statement, that would have been more in keeping with someone trying to restructure their party after a chastening General Election.
Instead she went with this. Who advises these people?
Well him & his cronies stitched up the party to ensure that nobody who hadn’t already passed selection by him & his cronies would not be allowed to stand against him & his cronies.
The Labour Party is now a dead duck, despite having one of the biggest majorities ever, thanks to him & his cronies.
disclaimer: I have tried to install it on my Mac Mini, and installation failed on the first command (that is copied from their website). That is supposed to be the easy part, to the point that all the instructions vids skip right over it, even while showing other more familiar steps installing
To be practically useful, it needs to be able to read my emails, or observe my bank balance, or crawl news aggregators (including confidential internal feeds). If it can’t do that reliably safely it looks a non-starter.
The use cases that people are demonstrating are very uninspired, and look mostly useless to any end user. I can already check stock prices on the App made to check stocks, and I can look out a window for the weather if checking a website is too hard.
Is there anything to show that Openclaw isn’t just another empty tech bro hype train pyramid scheme like the Metaverse or NFTs?
All the advice so far is to not install it on your main computer - which eliminates all the potential uses I would want as a casual user.
I think election polling has been discredited for at least fifteen years, and last night was another example of it.
The 24 US election was ‘too close to call’ according to pollsters - Repubs won every metric: Popular vote, house, senate, women, minorities etc
Remain was going to win Brexit…
The Green victory in Denton is the result which will have the biggest effect on Labour, far more so than a Reform win.
The blithe assumption progressives have nowhere else to go has been proved catastrophically wrong.
Can’t help thinking of this quote from a Labour minister, a year ago…
Labour voters would vote Labour in a safe Labour constituency if they only wanted to keep Reform out, especially since that was the entire Labour Party message to them.
This was an annihilation directed at Labour, and it’s too late for them to do anything to save themselves now.
A lot should be read into their desperation accusations following the result (for a candidate whose platform they are now disowning!). Making a point about the new rules not being adhered to is one thing. To immediately use the word “cheating” suggests they are on the stolen election crusade à la US
They are a generation of career politicians who have been raised in the Blair Brown Campbell era of media & politics but haven’t moved with the times, and have been ensconced in a London bubble of spreadsheets, pollsters & focus groups, where punching left was held in higher esteem than voters
The expenses scandal has since been referenced as the great schism between press and politicians and I’d wondered why, when it’s justifiable public interest reporting (compared to intrusions into people’s sex lives, eg).
I don’t remember hearing seven MPs went to jail over it!
