The school photographer at my son's school takes the year group photo by taking individual photos and editing them together. It looks really bad & must be 50x the work of just taking the photo properly.

My psychology degree is 25 years old, so maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure bipolar doesn't make you antisemitic or go to the lengths of writing songs & selling Nazi merch. I can't believe there was no pushback that West had to overcome on either of those things.

Deliberately attacking civilian infrastructure without apparent military value is a war crime. Shouldn't be surprising since America elected a war crimes advocate, who in his first term pardoned convicted war criminals, and in his second made the public champion of those war criminals SecDef.

Someone in the FT comments last week tried to justify Trump's wild swings by likening them to individual poker hands. I'm not a poker player but if Trump is trying to play a game of poker then his approach feels like he's putting all his cards face up and shouting BINGO.

Channel 4 News trying to link the sale of vapes to child sex crimes is just bizarre. There may be good reasons to restrict the sale of vapes but this isn't it. I had a client who used his guitar to abuse young boys but that's not a reason to ban guitars. It's a reason properly monitor sex offenders.

The UK should retaliate by speeding up the transition to renewable energy and cut our reliance on oil. Who would that hurt? The USA because that's where the UK currently buys the biggest share of its oil!

No evidence of 'family voting' in the Gorton & Denton byelection say the Police after Refuk complained. Seems enough voters just hated Matt GPT To my mind the Democracy Volunteers group have some questions to answer on this, not least because they never reported any issues to election officials.
