Absolutely crazy

The most avid AI users I know have always been automata in spirit—I'd wager they view stripping away the last traces of their humanity as a simple matter of efficiency.

A guy with a thick Soviet accent in the middle of a major US city asking where the "nuclear wessels" are at the height of the Cold War. Will always make me laugh. RIP, Chekov.

Okay, this is usually something that would happen in a country the Sainted West condescends to, not the heartland of the European project. How the mighty obnoxious have fallen.

The news from Brazil and Serbia are great and show that you don't defeat the far right by copying it or trying to appeal to their supporters You do it by being uncompromising, showing the danger they pose and offering something different to the many crises people suffer from

Labour has seen the destruction that Thatcher wrought, and decided that it needs to continue.

Presume Burnham also gave Orange Nero his full on-the-DL support over the impending re-ignition of hostilities in Iran.

The idea that Israeli society turned sharply right after Oct 7 is ridiculous, but so is the claim, repeated here, that the slide towards intolerance began after the failure of Oslo (a claim usually made without attributing blame for that failure). observer.co.uk/news/interna...

Palestinian flags ❌ Ukraine flags ✅ The message couldn’t be clearer—the British establishment knows exactly whose lives it values, and whose are worth nothing.

This is the stupidest fucking country.

If only Sally Rooney had been married to Tony Blair's former chief of staff, eh?

OMFG.

Straight-up unabashed nativism here from the UK's newspaper of record. Fully leaning into the "soil" part of "blood and soil" like it's absolutely nothing. Like describing a sandwich filling or the colour of a cat.

I suppose it's only logical that hate-crime badges should follow those antisemitic biscuits.

I mean, if the govt has admitted this field won't bring down energy prices, will only create a paltry number of jobs, & will provide only ¹⁄₅₀ of the UK's domestic gas requirements, please dispense with the horseshit & say this is for the benefit of corporate entities & not British energy security.

Call me old fashioned, but I probably wouldn't have chosen to announce this on the anniversary of one of the UK's most shocking extractives-industry disasters.

Well, at least you've pleased the rightists at home and the fascist king across the sea. Mission accomplished 🏆

Nice little nugget of horror buried in there

TLDR: this part of the COVID Inquiry states the pandemic exposed & deepened chronic social care issues, while indecision & poor guidance failed to protect care-home residents. Because this is the UK, the only consequences are for victims of negligence, never those who failed to safeguard the nation

Katie Riefenstahl here again with some new bigotry that would have been totally unforgivable to say out loud a decade ago. I also see she's had a glow-up and upgraded from late 90s private school head prefect to 2010s girl boss. Go get 'em, Queen.

I note that by evoking "suicidal empathy," this person is parroting far right phraseology popularised by Musk and used by the likes of Tommy Robinson. I also note that she has two children by the son of West Indian immigrants.

If you were a toddler at the beginning of WW2, you'd be about 90 years old now. Racists boomers and Gen X cowards radicalised by Facebook and the History Channel need to stop using a vanishing generation as human shields for their bigotry.

Again, replace "settlers" with "state-sponsored land-grabbers" and the story hits differently, doesn't it?

The wheel spins as it should.
