This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: β€˜We earn Β£345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

Tech CEOs Confused by Why Everybody Hates AI So Much With public sentiment on AI resoundly negative, the tech CEOs pushing the new tech only seem to be doubling down.

just spitballing but some of it might have something to do with 15 years of sociopathic behavior culminating in the enthusiastic embrace of violent fascism

Keysey makes the common mistake of confusing Macclesfield for Mansfield.

Did a thing for Newstalk/Off The Ball on Ratcliffe. Everyone who disagreed posted personal comments, some pretty nasty stuff. Can this be good for the β€œcause”? Or is impotent rage and abuse an acceptable world view now? Clicked on a FB thing about Elastica, pure misogyny. Social media was a mistake.

Julia Simon shushes the crowd after taking gold in the Winter Olympics individual 15km biathlon

There's silencing your critics … and then there's being found guilty of stealing your France teammate's credit card (and that of a team staff member) and handed a three-month suspended prison sentence, before bringing the shush after claiming a second Olympic biathlon gold at these Winter Olympics

😬 Manchester City's draw with Spurs means they have only won one game in their last six.
