Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

Another one. The premise: Young people are cutting off their parents for minor mistakes and misunderstandings. The lead anecdote: A woman severs ties with her family for refusing to get vaccinated before her wedding — to a man who *lost his mother and brother to COVID*

Lynn Fitch is the "pro-life" attorney general who successfully led the state's side in the Dobbs case, overturning Roe v. Wade.

Your Harry Potter dollars funded this.

eBay users! Don't ignore today's email, even though it looks like a boring standard update to the User Privacy Notice. They want to use your data to train AI models. If you click the link over the words "the right to object", it takes you to a page with a toggle button letting you opt out.

It’s come to something when a photographer has to get legal advice, before displaying this photo in an exhibition, due to the risk of being prosecuted as a terrorist, but that’s exactly what I had to do yesterday. What a state this country is in.

Did Newsnight get switched from hard news reporting to interviewing the clueless rambling of a fascist banjo twanger, whose dad owns GB News, by accident

It's too bloody cold. Stay in bed everyone.

Someone needs to invent scrubs that have a zipper

The endless variations of “the sign language interpreter for WAP” Instagram videos I’ve seen have taught me that if you want someone to believe an AI video is real, give them a hard on

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy but isn’t a selfie.

If there is anything approaching a non-negotiable consensus in British politics, it's that the worst-off in society must be continually punished for their own misfortune.

For those who think @cjayanetti.bsky.social is being hyperbolic. These are the current three "top stories" on the Times app. How this is taken as anything other than a targeted attack on disabled individuals, especially neurodivergent ones, is beyond me.

I mean, everyone can see that this is insane, right?

people have been saying for years that these freaks won't be happy until they can machine-gun people in the Channel, and now they're just saying it where's that 1984 extract about the cinema? ah yes (CW: violence)

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

Speaking of, how come you're appearing on Nick Cohen's podcast after he was forced to quit the Observer for sexual abuse and harassment of your colleagues?

Top ten most foreboding sentence I've ever read.

There are more Ketchup sachets than nurses. More operational Furbies than professors of human geography. More dogs named "Digger" than people licensed to operate a JCB. And you ask why people are turning to Reform?

Imagine how pleased he was to have a photo of himself with the babby. From a glass plate negative in my collection, no date/info.

As we were saying ...

Bristol Rises' far right "protest" has resulted in the postponement of the annual Shine Night Walk, a women-led charity event that raises money for Camcer Research, with a day's notice. Avon & Somerset Police are more willing to facilitate a dozen fascists than 2k+ women raising money for charity.

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.

Phillipson says the difference between Labour & the Greens is Lab deliver. And you know what policy she cites? Scrapping the two child benefit cap. Something they suspended seven Lab MPs for voting for, refused to do for almost 2yrs & had to be dragged kicking & screaming to do

Meanwhile, Fifa readies to welcome Russia's official team at the Under-15 World Cup which starts on 22 October in Azerbaijan, the first step towards full reintegration in Infantino's "football family". Many countries are boycotting the event. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are not.
