I wish I could just temporarily disable the keyboard entirely, though I think she'd still manage to find a way to activate airplane mode

I wish I knew how my mum keeps putting her laptop in airplane mode, I've disabled her shortcut bar but she keeps doing it. She gets agitated when I suggest she watch her britbox because she "hates the laptop" but it's because she managed to activate airplane mode again and it scared her

Has she tried not being in Israel

Fingers crossed they attempt to land troops in Iran and open a new front in Turkey, they'll be wide open. Particularly if Trump gets his way and the US navy is sent into the Straight of Hormuz

If all of America's enemies came together they could wipe out the USA in a matter of days

The image shows a rectangular Roman dice tower (turricula) made of four copper alloy (bronze) plates with punched cut-out Latin letters and cut-out decorative patterns. At the bottom front is a stepped exit chute with small bronze bells attached to the opening. The tower is a Roman anti-cheating device. It has an open top and is hollow inside except for three staggered, downward-sloping plates, designed to randomize dice as they fall, ensuring unpredictable dice rolls. When the dice rolled out of the exit chute they rang the bells! There is a decorative dolphin either side of the stepped exit chute. The top of the front plate has two decorative pine cone finials. Height 25 cm. There is a single die shown next to the stepped base to illustrate how it was used. The front inscription reads: PICTOS VICTOS HOSTIS DELETA LVDITE SECVRI Translated as: ‘The Picts defeated, the enemy has been destroyed, play in safety’. Around the top of the three remaining sides, a second inscription made with cut out letters reads: ‘UTERI/FELIX/VIVAS’ translated as ‘Use happily; may you live well’. Found at a Roman villa at Froitzheim in Germany in 1985.

Roman anti-cheating gaming accessory!

This Roman ‘turricula’ (dice tower) was used to ensure a fair roll of the dice! 🎲🎲🎲

Dice dropped into the top, tumbled over sloping internal levels, and appeared randomly below.

From Froitzheim, Germany, AD 300-400

F-tier propaganda, do better

If your revolution doesn't include disabled people, then it's no revolution of mine, comrade

Alt text is such an easy litmus test for whether someone actually gives a shit about marginalised people or if they're just posturing

First light at Salisbury, where spire, sky, and meadow meet in perfect harmony. Taken from Harnham Water Meadows, where John Constable created his masterpieces.

Clearly his parents had his head bound, as is customary among the steppe nomads

Albanese has now admitted that Australians were onboard the US nuclear sub that sank an Iranian vessel and left the crew to drown, in a violation of international law. This was always an inevitability of AUKUS. End AUKUS now.

No for sure, the US should definitely open more fronts, they can definitely fight everyone at once, you've got this!

It feels like being a client state of the Warcrime Empire is unwise and has Consequences

They're holding off releasing the evil clone of Kylie they have in their secret facility as it's still too unstable and keeps eating it's handlers

chalk up another failure for 'bomb them until they overthrow their own government for us' i'm sure it'll work one of these days

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …

Dear Shabana,

Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Maybe a nice summer heatwave will level the playing field

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

They’ve been claiming Iran has a nuclear weapons program for as long as I can remember and have yet to offer up any credible proof for this. For over twenty years the west’s entire posture in the middle east has been premised on this unsupported claim.

Ozempic seems like a great drug if you want to look like the Pale Man from PAN'S LABYRINTH

I think like, a pint is fine. If you get a hangover you've had too much

A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime
