The correct legal approach to this seems to be that when platforms start favouring some content over other, they don‘t deserve immunity for third party content on the basis that they are just platforms. They should become liable. finance.yahoo.com/media-advert...
Hated the Lib Dems for going into coalition with the Tories. Friends bought me a membership as a joke. 15 years on I've been a Lib Dem councillor for years. Petrified someone will discover my origin story.
Cats are only so popular because it's socially acceptable to let them do whatever they like for some reason. If the owners were suddenly told they had to stop them going onto other people's property, attacking other animals or crapping everywhere then they'd be less keen on them
Oddly got BBC thought for the day in the way to work, it got Eleanor Rigby stuck in my head. Bit depressing. Somehow thought it morphed into Penny Lane and I find I can sing both. Which says something about how in the Zeitgeist they are since I dont think I've ever specifically put a Beatles song on
Awful to hear the cause of death released for #aew 's PAC (Benjamin Statterley). Wrestlers don't make old bones, but feels like the sort of thing that could have been survived if certain promotions hadn't historically fostered a policy if never taking time off, wrestling hurt.
So. Milton Keynes wasn't intended to have roundabouts. It was meant to be a true grid, with traffic lights.
But the council, not the development corporation, controlled the roads. And they insisted they were rural roads and refused to do traffic lights.
Roundabouts was the compromise result.
If you are scrolling down someone's Insta feed or TikTok page and every single thumbnail is a close up of their face then it's probably safe to assume they are an absolute narcissist.
Oh geeze, the barbers is playing a happy, upbeat (AI sounding) rehash of In The End (Linkin Park) to a generic club beat and the new line "in the end I wanna chase the sun light"
Like photosynthesis just got a pop song 😐
Seems like the headline is the whole article, if they did go to church regularly they would know peace, love, sharing and care for the stranger are the point, and not, in fact white-supremacy (imagine that from a religion about a middle-eastern Jew).

Surely this is some sort of breach of a Secrets Act (official or...otherwise)? I do hope right-minded blueskyers don't subscribe or otherwise follow such MoS leaks. Shouldn't these messages self-destruct in a suitably low-budget 60s television show style?

You don't notice how anemic other brands are till your workplace switches to proper Yorkshire tea. Of course it's not quite right drinking it with London water vs proper Pennines stuff, but alas I've forgotten what decent water is these days. 🫖

@merrittk.com covers the 1977 Star Wars novel Splinter Of The Mind's Eye, which would have been a Star Wars movie if Star Wars hadn't performed so well. Luke Skywalker bites an alien penis in this one! 1900hotdog.com/2026/10/nerd...
As a Trekkie, I'm surprised this is one of the least controversial orderings. I enjoy Journey Home more because the earwig things in Kahn freaked me out as a kid, but yeah. (Generations an honourable mention)🖖🏼
Definitive order by quality of the original Star Trek films is: 1, Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country; 2, Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan; 3, Star Trek IV The Journey Home; 4, Star Trek III The Search for Spock; 5, Star Trek The Motion Picture; 6, Star Trek V The Final Frontier.
The thing that gets me about these lurid anti-Zionist statements, like the one the Greens just passed, is that it is *so fucking easy* to criticise the Israeli government without engaging in that type of language.
The chair of Amnesty Intl has left the Green Party over the “Zionism is racism” motion, accusing them of “failing to confront prejudice”
The Greens now have two choices. Either stab him in the back after he loses on Friday, or double down and become even more extreme

...and in other news the Liberal Democrats decide that they like first past the post voting system and that it was the right thing to do to leave Europe

I'd say there already was such a party, the last 2 words of the first line are your clue, but you could say it till you're blue in the face and no one's listening, well, orange in the face... 🔶

Oh!!! And the Greens have fucked it.

I think they’ll be regretting that tomorrow, Brian.
The motion passed at Green Party Conf' actively undermines a 2-state solution, and does not address the rising threats of Islamophobia and Antisemitism here in the UK.
This is a divisive motion that pours fuel on the fire of tensions in the UK, and will leave many British Jews feeling less safe.
Congratulations to England on their 0-0 draw with Croatia last night (if you only count goalscorers who are English according to the delightful Sue Ellen Braverman’s definition).
10 years on from Brexit, Europe is back on people’s minds.
London St Pancras is Britain’s gateway to Europe, Patrick Stillman sets out the Lib Dem plan to rebuild ties with Europe and boost growth.
Anyone who says they have "no regrets" shouldn't be trusted. Any reasonable person occasionally reflects on their life, people they may have hurt along the way and things they might have done better. It's how we grow as people.

Green Party calls for Thames Water and South East Water to be taken into public ownership WITHOUT COMPENSATION by Christmas
Thames Water is insolvent, and South East Water has repeatedly failed to supply water to thousands of homes
This is wonderful from the Greens
