This is perhaps a good time to mention that I attended this preliminary hearing at the start of the week, met some of the fired union members in its aftermath and have been able to review Rockstar's evidence in-person for myself. We'll have more to share once the result has been announced.

Trump: "I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion. This will allow us to build the 'Dream Military' that we have long been entitled to."

The two traitors in the turret tonight looks like Peter Jackson did the cinematography to make one of them look like a hobbit. #TheTraitors

It has become increasingly clear that X - a platform now actively producing explicit and abusive material against women and children - is not an appropriate platform to be using for our comms. I will keep pushing for action from the govt & relevant authorities in this area.

And now Trump has weighed in and claims something that the video absolutely doesn't show -- that the ICE agent was "viciously ran over" by the driver, and that "it is hard to believe he is alive."

Please say it’s called ‘Man Behaving Badly’.

Breaking: Channel 5 is to air “The Downfall of Huw Edwards,” a two part factual drama on the disgraced former BBC News presenter. It stars Martin Clunes as Huw Edwards.

I hope they do the same marketing campaign as 2

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Looking forward to see what The Map Men do for the video about how the Mercator Projection caused the end of NATO. Not sure there's a lot of laughs in it.

Every time I see this picture I think it's about time Dr Disrespect got arrested.

Listening to a top twenty TV programme round up podcast this afternoon I turned it off when The War Between the Land and the Sea was at number 17.

Can you plug a Microdrive into it?

they ran on no more wars and are now pitching global conquest. they ran on protecting kids and are now paid subscribers to a deep fake kiddie porn generator. a competent opposition party would find a way to use this to their advantage

What curious timing.

“Maduro unlawfully refused to peacefully cede power after Venezuelans voted him out of office in the most recent election.” Sounds familiar.

If things keep going in this direction my AMD FX-8350 is going to be current technology again. Maybe I should get some DDR-3 while it's still cheap?

Ofcom can't even enforce its rules when it comes to GB News, I'm not expecting much from them on Musk's Everything CSAM App.

If you missed this question to Nigel Farage from The Critic's Rob Hutton – and it was over an hour into the press conference – then it was a particularly good one. The answer was... vague.

You're not ready for the name of the energy transition specialist at Heat Pump Association UK

Yes

The Whitehouse's new Jan 6th page is filled with lies, misrepresentation, and reality denial. It's a clear attempt to rewrite history and frame Trump in heroic terms. www.whitehouse.gov/j6/

Maybe the person who instigated it should be in a prison cell and not the White House? You had years to prevent what's happening today, you did bugger all.

Once again, creating CSAM is not (just) a regulatory matter, it is a crime.

OffCom communication on X.

No one needs to see Trump's "O face."

It was quite predictable this was going to happen.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

That this statement has to be written is frankly insane.

It's now unconscionable for the government to be posting on X. X is not a neutral utility, it is far, far darker: an environment that shapes behaviour, rewards cruelty, and normalises abuse. @theleaduk.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/theleadu...

According to the slideshow my phone created today, the only photos I've ever taken on January 6th have featured snow. It has snowed here today as well but it's rubbish compared to those in the past so I can't be bothered to take any pictures.

Just checking with how Starmer's crusade to ban apps that produce deep fakes is going

Most of the planet still wondering how the man that instigated it could actually be re-elected, let alone stay out of prison.

This is insanity.

the thing about gamergate is its sole purpose was to harass women and no one within it believed anything beyond those goals

Elon Musk is using Grok to fill the internet with child pornography. Some liberals object.

It’s important to be at the Nazi Nonce club to provide a counter-narrative to all the nazis and nonces.

The EU and UK should shut down X just as they shut down RT - and in fact I think it is likely that they will eventually. The question is, how much damage will be done by then?
