It is clearly deeply annoying for a sociopath when a human collapses nearby and distracts attention from him.

We’ve made this investigation free to read because so many people in Sheffield are affected by this story. Our journalists have been knocking on doors for weeks and we’ve had to employ lawyers because of the legal threats made against us. We can only do this kind of journalism with your support.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

A pal with a much better memory than me reminded me of this interview with Laurence Fox from 2002. Be interesting to know more about that, it must have been very serious. Link to the Internet Archive so no paywall. web.archive.org/web/20130208...

People who follow me know I very, very rarely swear. So when I say this is fucking nuts, believe me. This is like the concept of someone off their head on cocaine.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design. news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

MP wants Musk's Grok chatbot shut down over claim he enabled grooming gangs

Wait…Emmer is saying Republicans aren’t going to solve problems and don’t care about people’s concerns? And he thinks Republicans are the good people? 🤨
