It’s fascinating that Linehan’s status as a bonafide far right figure is no longer even worthy of note.

The current Labour cabinet are absolutely deranged. So extremely bad a their jobs, and just so WEIRD.

We were just finishing Yom Kippur morning service when our rabbi announced this had just happened. We’d been reflecting on the atrocities in Gaza & praying for peace. Our tiny community is horrified & heartbroken www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live...

The Times has been properly mad for a long time now. Bananas.

This comment nails it. Frankly it’s none of anyone’s business who else is in a public lavatory, even if they consider someone is in the “wrong” one. If you’re upset by the mere presence of somebody else for reasons of your own beliefs, that’s your problem.

feels a bit weird that we keep having these stories about individual cyber attacks but without anyone really joining the dots and going "okay, shall we maybe talk about this as a major global story"

This is horrendous. Solidarity with my Jewish friends at this frightening time.

Young people lurching to the far right is, I think, the story the world hasn’t properly processed yet. We’re still very much in the mental mode of ‘young is left and old is right’ and I’m not convinced the coming decades will look like that.

“Worldwide shipping!” Ok, where are you, just so I know about import taxes. “Anywhere in the world! Place an order now!” I just need to know what country you’re bas… “WE SHIP TO EVERY COUNTRY ON EARTH!!!”

Whilst the house is being renovated, my wife and kids are staying in town and man, I could get used to being an In Town guy.

hotels don't want you to know this but if you missed breakfast, a Corby trouser press works perfectly as a toasted cheese sandwich maker. they can't stop you.

Everything connected to Tommy Robinson will always be funded by crime and corruption. It’s simply who he is.

The thing about a few bad apples, as the idiom teaches us, is they *in no way* affect the whole barrel.

Stockholmers - I once again grace the stage of that venerable rock of jazz culture, Stampen, early this evening. Two sets of jazz 17-19, free entry Me - Saxophone Fredrik Olsson - Guitar Jojo Djeridi - Drums Jakob Hällgren - Double Bass

Pope Leo, "Someone who says I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhumane treatment of immigrants, they're not pro life"

V good.

Anyone who’s done the guardian crossword today, can you explain 11 across (which I have solved) to me?

Yet more evidence, among much else here, that people who cite concerns about sexual violence among immigrants take a totally different, more dismissive attitude to sexual violence in other contexts. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you send me a voice note, prepare to not be responded to til the end of whatever it is I’m doing that means I can’t stop and either put on headphones or go somewhere quiet where I won’t disturb anyone. Or, crazy idea, spend ten seconds writing the message.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

It feels l frustrating that everything to do with all this stuff, when reported, always comes from people with vested interests. It’s basically unheard of to hear someone who hasn’t bet the farm economically on AI saying anything good about it whatsoever yet almost all coverage is this kind of shit.

Ah, nobody told me, but I’ve been nominated for a production music award this year. Always the bridesmaid at this ceremony, but it’s cool to be nominated again.

I bought some sensible dad shoes. Might as well start shopping for headstones now.

I do not want to enable location services. I do not want to create an account. I do not want to sign up for special offers and news about your product. I would like to engage in a simple transaction where I give you money in exchange for a good.

I wonder at this stage what the ADL *think* they are. The most egregious antisemitism on earth self-evidently emanates from the far right, and they’re very openly wilfully blind to it.

“Bots or likely bots authored 44.5% of X posts mentioning Cracker Barrel in the 24 hours after the new logo gained attention on Aug. 20, according to research for ⁦‪@WSJ‬⁩ by PeakMetrics. That number rose to 49% among posts calling for a boycott.”

Virtually every phrase McCoy Tyner plays in his solo on Resolution, from A Love Supreme is a classic. Literally one of the greatest jazz performances ever put to tape.

Rather significant deficit re dotted-Is-and-crossed-Ts in a peace agreement when the primary aggressor doesn’t agree to the terms. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

If you only read one thing about the Riyadh Comedy Festival thing. The context for these comedians, in all they do henceforth, needs to be that they signed a contract with slaveowners to restrict their own speech in order to flatter them, in exchange for money. That’s it.

The Starmer 'decisions that will not always be comfortable' line has absolutely sent me. There are lots of things I think Labour should do that Labour members would *hate* but I think they should do them because they would work. 'Labour members hate it' has become how this government self-soothes:

“We noticed a login from a device you don’t usually use” *looks up with total exhaustion from the same mobile phone I have used on a daily basis for five years*

look trump said he had never heard of the heritage foundation and also that he disagreed with some of their views and YES with hindsight we could have asked how he knew he disagreed with something he’d never heard of BUT it is our job as the news to just write down everything he says and print it

I’m old enough to remember quite a lot of mention of Project 2025 that the press refused to take seriously.

I’m opening a movie theater in which I show recently released films that I ripped from the internet but the studios are welcome to opt out if they wish.

This. Judging by recent speeches and truth social stuff, Trump really isn’t at all in the loop on WH policy outside of weird pronouncements on tariffs etc. Even with the military occupation of cities stuff, we know that it’s Stephen Miller’s baby, and he got a blanket green light from Trump.

Not sure if there’s much point, but I just reported this post. The picture has nothing to do with the text, and is inflammatory etc. It definitely qualifies as misleading.

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

*Me strolling away with a guy’s wallet and mobile phone* ‘Don’t look at me mate, he never opted out. Nobody to blame but himself.’

This seems suicidal, as government policy.

I’ve logged 2000 different beers on my little beer social network.

If you don’t put some weird metal weights on a steak, are you even a food influencer, bro?

It wasn’t til I had children who were of browsing-YouTube age that I realised quite how much of the american sphere aimed at preteens and teens revolved around the idea that anything involving the public is morally defensible as long as you (appear to) hand them a wad of cash on camera.

Das Kapital was famously originally written on Papyrus.

Netflix is about to get a LOT smaller for Americans.

Is there no cryptic crossword in the guardian today, or is the website just being weird?

Any word on which way he’s looking now?

Hi! I borrowed $300m from the worst people in the world to buy your favourite thing! Now your favourite thing owes me $300m and sadly it looks like it can’t pay me back so I’ve taken it out back and shot it. Anyways, just wanted to ask… what’s your *second* favourite thing?

These people seem to think they’re too clever to even need to do the very basic research - in this case to even *cast their mind back a couple of years* - to support their point. The daftest, smuggest, people on earth. Imagine having the brass neck to send an invoice for this shit.
