The Swiss got rock’n’roll after it had been filtered through the rest of Europe so its version was brilliant, exaggerated and wrong. A sincere pastiche of the original.

Today has been a massive victory for anti-migrant voices. Not only is Labour doing 90% of what they want, but they're also making it much easier for them to get the remaining 10% later

Finally a leader of a political party speaking with the passion and anger this disgusting act by Labour of attacking the most vulnerable deserves. Thank you

Carne with garlic butter and parmesan crust at Fizz 'N' Flour last night. Lovely pizzas, cheery service but deathly quiet - hopefully just a consequence of the weather.

It’s difficult to underestimate the extra burden that this is placing on our public libraries. For example, on a daily basis library workers are now filling the in-person/human service gap that billion euro banking institutions have abdicated from to maximise their profit margins.

It's telling that "engage fully with AI" is always taken to mean "embrace it unquestioningly" and not "examine it critically". As always in these pieces the good of AI is simply assumed.

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.
