Not unrelated, but I've been increasingly amused by the slop enthusiasts' claim of "you'll get left behind of you don't learn how to use it now" of interfaces that're supposed be intuitive and allow us to interact with technology in a natural way. If it worked, we literally wouldn't need to be told.

We've analysed this video of the shooting of Renee Nicole Good yesterday in Minneapolis frame-by-frame to highlight the positioning of the gun and phone in the ICE agent's hands. Video: @minnesotareformer.com with annotations by Bellingcat

Just watching the JD Vance news conference and all I can think of is Martin Niemollers poem and George Orwell's scary verse. "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

Buildings are usually named after dead people. It's a tradition Donald Trump should honor.

Don't complain to Phyllis Nelson about your long commute to work, she's only got one answer. #TOTP

Hello, So, our holiday accommodation is finally up on Airbnb. If you want a holiday stay on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica in the middle of secondary rainforest with views like the one below (or you know somebody who would) take a look: airbnb.com/h/casitaanya

PLEASE STOP DOING THOSE PADDINGTON DEATH THINGS

This. I've reposted this and posting this separately because THIS

Golden rule always put ya best guy on the fascists.

"He draws his power not from the sheer force of his arguments and personality, but increasingly just how recklessly the immigration issue has been handled by the political establishment." Nesrine Malik would have been my columnist of the year. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It is incredibly sad that the BBC is a place for Robbie Gibb, Fiona Bruce and Laura Kuenssberg, and not Robin Ince.

Please remember this next time you hear Nigel Farage and Reform say we must leave the ECHR to control our borders

Given a) Farage's past; b) the expanding story about Russia and former MEPs; and c) media enthusiasm for "what influence is being bought?" questions, if anyone to left of Mussolini is gifted so much as a cup of sugar, why is Reform facing no such questions about Friday's £9m crypto-bro donation?~AA

So if I have this straight. The president of the united states of America wants to create a *checks notes* new world order that favours his beliefs? I would say I did nazi that coming, but I did.

Even more/less infuriating/funny - Britain seems keen to KEEP slapping intself.

Huge news. 007 job share.

Movie you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (either War or Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.,

Brexit was in Russia's interests. Not Britain's.

Potential voters who need, for whatever reason, to believe that the child is not the father of the man have an increasingly difficult task ahead of them.

I know you all know this, but re Farage's BBC tantrum: 1: Alf Garnett was a satire on racism, not pro-racism. 2: Bernard Manning featured mainly on Granada TV, not the BBC. 3: Farage would no more boycott the BBC than a flea would boycott a dog's ear. He's both profoundly stupid and a liar.

A man who relocated to Thailand with the money he made from crypto donating nine million quid to Nigel Farage having previously given Boris Johnson a million quid is like Fuckery Jenga.

As it'll be December tomorrow, your annual reminder that Klaus on Netflix is the best Christmas film of the last couple of decades & should be as much of a standard in your house as the Muppets or George Bailey. Looks great, really funny & will make you do a lovely big old sob.

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

Happy #Thanksgiving to all of my American friends, though it may seem that you have less to give thanks for than previous years, one day he will die.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

This is how you deal with this shitebag.

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

Omid Djalili Is on The Wheel tonight. I guess his expert subject will be blood money.

🌏 "The geopolitical situation bolsters the case for closer co-operation with the EU." 🇪🇺 "Russia’s war with Ukraine, Donald Trump’s erratic second presidency, Middle East tensions: all make a stronger common European response more urgent." https://econ.st/4qZ6n7w

The President of the United States Of America was a close confidante of one of these most powerful & prolific paedophiles in US history, had close contact with many of his victims & has legally sought to hide this fact. Sometimes it's good to restate these facts because they're insane.

Apropos of nothing in particular: SHOES Per the FEMA training I took 30 years ago, the one thing that best ensures your survival in a disaster is whether you made it out of the building with shoes on. Everything else can just be scrap-wraps, but shoes are high-tech. Put them on first, then run.

Fresh lemons can deter cats from urinating on your lawn but it largely depends on how good your aim is.

The BBC is in crisis in the same way that GB News would be if you put Owen Jones on the board armed with a veto and plenty of coffee.

There is literally a storyline in The Wire where a drug gang withholds wages from their street dealers to smoke out disloyal employees by seeing who starts complaining. This is organised crime thinking.

Dear BBC. If you want previously unheard levels of public support, tell the British public that appeasing trump will mean no strictly, no traitors, no children in need and no EastEnders in 2026 and let's see what the outcome will be. Oh and sack Robbie Gibb.

Gary Lineker for DG

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

It's time we called out racists for being racists and calling out those living off the politics of division, the scumbags they are.

I can't stress how important this statement is. It's proper Cassandra territory.

Think they might want to rephrase this

🔥 Excellent from Lisa Nandy! "I've seen this before. When I was growing up in Manchester, my dad used to debate with Enoch Powell." "What you're doing is trying to create fear and distrust and division, because that's the only way that you and your friends can thrive."

I recall in the 60s, Remembrance Day was one solemn Sunday morning. That was it. It was a moving occasion at our local memorial and attended by actual WW1 and WW2 veterans. Unlike the mawkish weeks long competition for the most tasteless display of a poppy that it's become Often, less is more.
