Let's hear it for Lambeth Council. Yesterday I received a Phishing email cos the account of the mayor had been hacked. Today the council sends out an email to hundreds of recipients re the incident with all the addresses open on CC. It's a bigger security breach than the original phishing email.

Not a single news outlet has reviewed its coverage of Jason Arday, for accuracy or proportionality. Zero attempt to conduct any inquiry into the media’s role in his death. Instead, the industry has moved into self-congratulatory mode. This isn’t just tone deaf, it betrays a systemic failure

I just can’t pretend my give-a-fuck meter isn’t the exact opposite of this. I guess I could point out I was working and couldn’t watch but the league cup is always a chore. I’m genuinely annoyed when we go even mildly far in this nonsense competition.

Pathetic

All the stats suggest it was a 2-0 performance. If that had happened, everyone would shrug and move on to the weekend. But instead, our 17-year-old centre back makes a mistake that creates a cup tie, our forwards miss some chances and our 16-year-old winger does something a bit silly to get a red.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

My now ex husband would piss me off so much that a once or twice a week I would move the bookmark in his book. Not by much just one or two pages forwards or backwards. Just enough to make him think wait have I missed something or im sure I've read this. He never found out

Reform plan to bring back imperial measurements to help boost US trade, not realising that US imperial measurements are different from UK ones. So dense a black hole is empty space by comparison.

This tragic arc has seen them win 15 trophies including 5 titles

The horse that ushered in Manchester United’s tragic arc | Jonathan Wilson

dlvr.itThe horse that ushered in Manchester United’s tragic arc | Jonathan WilsonThere’s plenty of blame to go around at Old Trafford. Like all downfalls it started with a seemingly small, unconnected moment * Sign up for our free newsletter here And so here we are again, at that point as the nights draw in and Manchester United prepare to sack a manager. Autumn: season of mists, mellow fruitfulness and a crisis at Old Trafford. Sunday’s 3-0 home defeat to Bournemouth, coming on the back of last week’s 4-1 reverse against Como, made clear what many had feared from the moment Michael Carrick was given the job on a permanent basis: that he isn’t up to it. But then, who could be? When you’ve burned through a long list of managers in 13 years, it’s perhaps worth considering whether the manager is really the problem. Could some blame perhaps go to the director of football, Jason Wilcox, or the chief executive, Omar Berrada, the people making the appointments? Or perhaps to Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the cost-cutting tax exile and minority shareholder with responsibility for sporting operations? Or to the Glazer family, who plunged the club into debt with a leveraged buyout in 2005 and have since made calamitous decision after calamitous decision, reducing the most successful club in English league history to a mid-table laughing stock with a roof that leaks symbolically?

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...

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Tomorrow, the University of Oxford will host the racist academic Amy Wax, who was suspended from U Penn for her racism. Oxford apparently has a passion for hosting bigots who are famous predominantly for their bigotry.

This is not a "you didn't KNOW?" post because I truly envy and respect anyone unaware of Linehan's output BUT he's been EXTREMELY racist for years now. Attacking black actors on his wife's show Motherland as diversity hires; podcast screeds about muslims in Ireland; delighting in Palestinian deaths.
