Same happened in our high school. No idea what actually occurred when they met up as the prevailing rumour was "this lad had a broken bottle & another lad got his lips cut off!!" Needless to say that didn't happen. I think social media has exacerbated things so the rumours seem scarier now.

That's really sad. I've lived in the Midlands, you'd think the sheer number of different cultures would teach people that the majority of their neighbours aren't dangerous :/

My partner has the same issue. He works in a factory and half his colleagues get all their "news" on this stuff from Facebook. So hard to get them to understand that they're going against their own best interests :/

Charlie Downes of Restore Britain dislikes being called a nazi. He's also incapable of admitting that Nana Akua is English, thinks the country is "defined by its indigenous ancestry", & has not reacted to the revelation that an actual nazi was welcomed into the party bylinetimes.com/2026/02/26/r...

OrbΓ‘nβs pay cheques: Reform candidate fuelled by profits from Russian oil
The Reform candidate at this monthβs byelection claims he wants to put Britain first, but is he still on the payroll of Viktor OrbΓ‘nβs far-right propaganda unit?

We just had a strong geomagnetic substorm here in Iceland. My cat and I watched from the balcony. Sometimes the show is strong enough to see inside the city limits easily.

I had a great chat last week with @cward1e.bsky.social, looking back at the growth of open source investigation from when it was just a small bunch of people trying to figure stuff out, how the counter-disinformation community formed out of that, and why it's causing us all so many headaches now.

I know you've heard that a federal judge ordered the release of 5 year old Liam Conejo Arias and his father, and that they're now home.
But did you look at the judge's order?
It's less than 2.5 pages and well worth a minute. "Jesus wept."
