BBC really burying the lede there

Until I die, I will never understand why so many motorists think that “having a car” should give you special protections from doing crimes.

FYI, I've fleshed out some recent comments on Tesco bashing into a blog... 🤔✍️ julianhjessop.substack.com/p/its-time-t...

“there are Neville Chamberlain’s in every generation” George Monbiot’s takedown of Matt Goodwin and the Reform party is a thing of beauty 👏 #bbcqt

What a beautiful beautiful film – The Wind Rises boxd.it/b9iPOV

for all people mock it wikipedia is genuinely one of the wonders of the modern world

I know there are good reasons why wealth taxes on assets that can be moved between countries are a bad idea. But everytime I see a headline like this I'm just "squeeze the selfish bastards till they cry".

I love London so much. So much. Did you know that London has the lowest level of ethnic violence of any city of comparable size in the world? Multiculturalism has in fact worked here. They just don’t want it to be true because we happen to have a Muslim mayor.

Fantastic article!

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

Robert Jenrick, the Tory Shadow Justice Secretary and former Home Office Minister, joining protesters outside an asylum hotel is one of the most disgusting acts by a frontline British politician in living memory.

are you fucking kidding me. the lens flares in DK Bananza are in the shape of a bunch of bananas

Your regular reminder that over a lifetime, people born in 1956 will each receive on average £291,000 more from the welfare state than they paid in, compared to £132,000 for people born in 1996 (h/t Resolution Foundation) Just something to consider next time you hear “I’ve paid in all my life…”

Amazing stuff per @gabrielpogrund.bsky.social – there were two plans on how to start a new left party. One faction proposed a vote between the two. The other disagreed and didn’t participate.

The wonderful thing about this is that it could be under literally anything. You’d believe me equally if I told you it was a thread on ant farms or on the BBC’s coverage of the 1966 election

I have no patience for this. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time retailed for $59.95 in November, 1998. That's $117.27 today. You're dramatically underpaying for games right now. In fact, AAA studios are killing themselves with big bet live-service disasters and microtransactions to cover costs.

Just watched Michael Clayton. Fantastic performance from Tom Wilkinson, only slightly overshadowed by a truly vast number of baguettes

Early exit polls suggest the new pope did particularly well with male voters aged 45-79.
