If he’s an essential part of Starmer’s team, then everyone including Starmer needs to go 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’m not sure ‘our national security developed vetting technique can be beaten if a candidate is prepared to lie’ is an especially helpful line to push.

Mandelson should have been expelled from the Labour Party months ago

Genuinely curious to understand why so many Labour MPs backed the Waspi cause - one with such limited merit - other than that being the kind of thing one does in opposition. I’d love to read a long read on the campaign and how the cause became so widespread…

There were some fairly terrible defences of Chomsky during the last tranche of Epstein docs – “he’s not simping to Epstein like the others” was a genuine line of argument. Hopefully we can put those behind us now?

I get why they didn’t, from a cost perspective, but Claude is genuinely really, really, really good. I’ve not used Gemini 3 too much, but it’s obviously still better than Apple’s Foundation Models, unfortunately. Plus, if they get it for $5bn a year, that’s practically a rounding error.

I wonder if the new Tomodachi Life for Switch will allow you to remake this Oscar-award winning performance? youtu.be/UbzUTRAUac4

most rational people would realize that an organization willing to let this happen can't be reformed.

I think the clearest international comparison to Zarah Sultana is Pierre Poilievre - a very talented partisan campaigner who is hopelessly out of her depth whenever she tries to engage with The Issues at any level of substance

Can we please kill the design trend for cars to have light up badges? Especially when they’re on cars which already have blinding ice white 2000 nits headlights?

Feeling all kinds of shame using my “elite status symbol” this morning 😔

I think if someone plays stuff out loud on the train, you should be able to text the British Transport Police, they stop the train at the next station, and dispose of the person responsible.

Mad article from The Telegraph about the “latest status symbols” and apparently, having an AeroPress is one. “Making average tasting coffee” - mate, stop buying dogshit beans from your supermarket or Starbucks that were roasted half a year ago, then?

Microsoft has confirmed it will hand over BitLocker encryption recovery keys to the FBI. You definitely should not be accepting Microsoft’s default of storing BitLocker keys in the cloud when signing into Windows with an MS account www.theverge.com/news/867244/...

I’m so fucking sick of these foreign scam call centres getting U.K. numbers, pretending to be from Three or O2 or whoever, and scamming people. I forgot to turn back on this setting on iOS that automatically filters unknown callers, but it shouldn’t be necessary.

Waheyyyyy, that was so good #TheTraitors

Watchmen is such an impossibly, incredibly, remarkably good television program. callsheetapp.com/tv/79788

The company that had to shut down 400 stores this month thinks incelposting is going to to bring customers back

Sums up how rubbish Badenoch is that she has been forced into a “You’re dumping me? I’m dumping you!” rather than just sacking and disbarring Jenrick over the many, many things that would have kept him out of any Tory Cabinet since 1968.

He has been very clear that Nigel Farage wants to initiate racist terror squads snatching foreign-looking teenagers off the streets here in Britain too. It boggles my mind the free ride Reform gets in the media despite saying yes they want a UK ICE!!

Charlotte Nichols MP (Labour, Warrington North) says AI-generated sexual harassment must be the final straw for the UK government using X A growing number of Labour MPs thought this needed a proper review last year: next week may see this cut through Misogyny is an official priority of this gvt

Modest proposal: any minister claiming the government “needs” to be on X should have to read out the top ten comments on their department’s most recent post.

The best time to quit X was two years ago, the second best time is now...

I think it's very important that Rupert Lowe's "Million Nonce March" gets widespread media coverage. Critical to amplify diverse voices.

I have not personally used X/Twitter for some time now. It was already an unpleasant place prior to its takeover by Elon Musk but since his acceptance of hate speech and anonymous online abusers, it has become utterly unusable.

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

Pirate Bay is blocked in the UK for far less…

I’m just very tired of the idea that everything has to be healthy.

Well, this might be about the most evil ad I’ve ever seen on Instagram. Well done, Meta. Well done!

I would dearly love to know why my local council feels the need to "work with" hundreds of "advertising partners" via shady fucking legitimate interests to track me when I just want to check when is bins this week

This is quite an important point; if you are a UK citizen with Twitter on your phone, opening it up is like playing Russian roulette that the algorithm might commit a strict liability offence on your behalf.

on a related "maximum punishment" note: I want to see every single person harassing or endangering others in public for viral content have the book thrown at them. and the platforms happily making money from it hit with the biggest fines possible. CEO bozo prison speedruns. the works

Beginning to think I should take the plunge on a PS5 Pro before price rises. Plus, really can’t see the 2027 PS6 rumours coming to fruition in this environment

I know it's not even slightly an original thought, but Shrek 2 really is a perfect film, isn't it?

And the reasons for that are not hard to find - Starmer’s unpopularity among left-liberals is the logical, arguably even intended consequence of 18 months of comms and policy which alienates and angers left-liberals while winning over no one on right. This is the cake his team have baked themselves.

If we are revoking citizenship for those people who dislike/hate this country the Telegraph would lose most of it's opinion writers and half the British right would be on a plane out of here.....

We've always had these dead-eyed socipaths around. It's just a few years ago they were ignored and now they're "senior fellow" at places funded by evil millionaires + going on podcasts with a brain-rotted ex-PM.

First Christmas in our new home 😁🎄

lol lmao this government will stop at nothing to fold for people who are never going to vote for them

Can we please get an update for Pokémon Legends ZA to fix the absolute *dogshit* pathfinding that’s seemingly changed in this update???

I still haven't really processed that we've watched a social democratic party that was maybe a decade away from dominating every working age voter group in this country throw it all away in the space of 17 months

There's an NPC in the new Pokémon games named Joris, and I think that's beautiful

In case anyone needed any further evidence that OpenAI are evil

Honestly, what the fuck is going on here? You are the BBC, surely you can do better than "well, a Trump ally says, and we have no idea what our insurance is."

No, of course, it should just hand him $10bn

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!
