Apologies for being off-topic but why is there a sheet of aluminium foil hanging over the back of a chair?

Guess the Board of Peace got bored of peace.
Palantir is suing Republik Magazine after the Switzerland-based site published a two-part investigation into the US data companyβs activities in and out of Switzerland

kind of funny that an olympian said they are here to represent "compassion, respect, and love for others" and some people automatically knew that was a statement against them
It must be crippling to wake up every day as Chris Philp, what a sad piece of work he is.
Palantir is working with ICE.
Why the hell are we giving Palantir our NHS information.
Palantir need to be banned from UK Goverment, just like the Swiss banned them from theirs.
History rhyming again
Solid points dependent upon finding some backbone
TBH I didn't think the book was as great as many others made it out to be. It has all the attributes required to make a bog-standard Hallmark movie (rather than some undiscovered Shakespearean tale).
And I enjoyed buying a number of gifts from that Amazon wishlist for those kids in Manchester. Promoting their need was an awesome act and one that I personally appreciated. Shame the revolution got delayed a tad but c'est la vie...
Putting this together was actually a HUGE amount of fun.
Feel free to share it - here or on whatever platform and with whichever friend or family member you think would enjoy our vibe and the gorgeous community we have become.
Now we just need those cows to start jumping over the moon again and we'll be sorted π«π¬π§
Shouldn't you have tagged @sturdyalex.bsky.social to at least allow him a right of reply? The fellow is a highly intelligent analyst of European politics and all round good bloke who never shys away from a good discussion.
I understand that Britbox can be accessed internationally. It delivers a "best of" from ITV and the Beeb.
A man on the streets of the UK is asked about the βproblem of immigrationβ and dismantles talking points with ease.
No one eviscerates the Tangerine TACO like Lawrence OβDonnell.
I'd add to this the paucity of talent on the right. Sure, they can really talk the talk but rarely can they ever walk the walk and then without much grace.
I do hope you've established a Spanish drum ensemble called "El grupo del hombre azul" in your new home

β’ Re your article (Labour targets international students claiming asylum after election losses to Reform, 3 May), the insistence of this Labour government on responding to the perceived threat of Reform by aping it on the issues where it is strong is utterly mind-boggling. I don't think any electable party will be more anti-immigration than Reform. The portion of the electorate for whom immigration is the one issue they care about won't be persuaded to vote Labour by it pledging to reduce asylum applications from international students. It's a ludicrous idea and, at best, only serves to reduce the distinction between the two parties. In reality, Reform is weak on almost every conceivable area: the economy, the NHS, Donald Trump, Brexit... the list of vulnerabilities is almost without limit. Yet the government chooses to engage on the only ground on which Reform is sure-footed. It's utterly bizarre. How is a party with five MPs, fewer than 800 local councillors and no actual policies allowed to dictate the agenda in this way? Richard Repper Frome, Somerset
V good letter in The Guardian on Labourβs flailing hopelessness in the face of Reform.
Come on, Labour. The country is crying out for better. Weβre sick of this ugly rightwing agenda. It brings nothing but failure.
Itβs disloyal to your voters and to the country. Youβve got power and time. Use them.
On the upside, if he's over there he's not over here...
Thanks, I must have misread it
Insightful analysis of the impending conclave. Hopeful too.
Nice to see the good guys show their heads every so often
Thereβs a lot of people fighting for freedom against authoritarians and dictators all over the world. Itβs easy to lose sight of them. In Tbilisi, Georgia, protesters are out on the street for the 143rd night as they fight against an election stolen by a Putin-backed party.
Wonderful writing and a harrowing story. An unexpected LOL moment woke my wife so now I'm in trouble...
Happy bday, I turn 55 tomorrow and have similar questions. I shall have to visit my local ancestral site, the Faldouet Domen.
Quite shocking for HM Opposition to take the side of a foreign gov't, over their own parliamentary colleagues being detained and turned away by Israel.
A most basic test of loyalty and solidarity, yet the Tories somehow managed to fail it.
Cries of "shame". Quite right. ~AA
