"The path forward is obvious. We let Sauron retain full power for another two years. Let the people experience a little more darkness while we clean house. Get our own ranks in order. Get rid of all those unity-chasing wackos that are tearing our Fellowship apart." buff.ly/9WluK1y

Just heard Hunt on the radio saying Labour needs to "put the economics before the politics" in the Budget. The bloke who created an unaffordable cut in National Insurance prior to the election, which he knew the Tories would lose. Utter charlatan.

If we've gone through more than 8 litres of stockpiled water we are just going to have to start on the beer and the wine...

'A distinctively British approach to AI'

Anyone going on BBC this month should order one of these beforehand and let them sweat www.poppyshop.org.uk/products/pri...

‘…Is liberated from administrative chores’ would be more like it. I hope and assume biting sanctions will follow in due course, but these ain’t they.

The most obvious improvement in my lifetime is the massive reduction in the murder rate. San Francisco currently at 22 homicides so far this year which is about a bad month's worth in the 1970s/1980s.

That he has paired his mother here with a clearly horrifying woman who blatantly enabled abuse feels like it is opening a very disturbing can of worms in his psyche. @maryltrump.bsky.social

Ironically if the generic ballot is D+8 or higher it probably means that the gerrymandering in California was not needed and the Dems would have taken 4 or 5 Republican house seats anyway.

This metaphor is ridiculously obvious and unsubtle. Fire the writers. They're hacks.

*waiting for the AI partisans to tell me LLM maps are better than actual ones

Vance is obviously all in on Carl Schmitt now. Politics is total war against enemies and honesty and decency are just weakness.

Putin's Russia kidnaps a 70 year old US citizen living in Ukraine, detains him for more than four years, tortures him and finally releases him in exchange for massive economic concessions. Humanitarianism exemplified! Perhaps Trump can recommend Putin for the FIFA peace prize?

US journalist in Kyiv faces White House online attacks while under fire from Putin’s missiles.

My ‘theory of growth’ is that we should stop experiencing negative supply shocks.

University of Nottingham, right now, is cutting 560 jobs. Do we need to rebrand universities as very large, very clean, land-based oil rigs to get government support?

Sadly AI - but was hoping that the Inspector would be in hot pursuit...

They are going to master the Quebec one neat trick aren't they...

It is genuinely impressive how often Simon Jenkins wheels out this (inane) column. I must have seen it a dozen times over the years. Money for nothing.

🙂

That the MAGA true believers appear to genuinely believe that the 'Daily Mail' is left wing is a pretty good indicator of how completely batshit their bubble is.

Wonderful reflection on people getting tired of years of Musk's Barnum hype to see Tesla showcase an actual frigging flying car and their stock goes down in response!

Otters in the centre of Oxford, marvellous

Counter offer- start transferring frozen Russian assets in Europe to Ukraine at the rate of $1 billion a week until Russia stops bombing Ukrainian civilians.

All of that desperate perfidious nonsense and diesel prices in the USA are still up this week.

If there’s one photo to sum up the Trump era, this is it.

What do you call a 'growth stock' that has underperformed the Dow by 50% in the last 5 years? TSLA!

@laylamoran.bsky.social - easy win for the Lib Dems to get behind this.

Spanish, French, Piano - yes all very nice. But this guy speaks fucking Norwegian! (Which given the damage the current clown has done to relationships with the Nordic states could be genuinely useful).

Dear Mr Turner, Re your otherwise excellent painting ‘The Fighting Temeraire, tugged to her last berth to be broken up’, I have one suggestion for how it could be improved:

Same people who wanged on incessantly about Karine Jean-Pierre being a DEI hire are defending this trainwreck.

It’s not about the diesel; it’s about finding an excuse to stop the flow of intelligence Ukraine needs to defend itself. Trump risks endangering the security, not only of Ukraine, but thereby of all Europe and in fact of NATO.

Today we celebrate the people who first called this land home. We remember the struggles and tragedies they endured. We honor their place in and contributions to the shared story of America. #indigenouspeoplesday

Denaturalization is a door they really shouldn't want to open...

A nice piece written with some generosity and Italian Americans really do deserve to commemorate someone better than Columbus. St Mother F.X. Cabrini, Mayor La Guardia and Tony Bennett would be a good start.

There is no known portrait of Columbus that was composed during his lifetime; everything that has come down to us is posthumous. So there’s no way to know whether he looked like Nurse Ratched clutching a sil-pat baking sheet in a short sleeved housecoat or not.

We should just randomly stick 'in honour of Alfred Nobel' at the end of a bunch of awards and see if it sticks. World Snooker Champion in honour of Alfred Nobel. Race Across the World winner in honour of Alfred Nobel. Britain's Best Portrait Artist in honour of Alfred Nobel.

This one is a gem
