The scourge of dementia.

“Nothing can be done about this,” says only country in the world where this happens. Over and over.

First Serbia, then Brazil. Is this going to be a bad week for the global right?

COBOL would like a quick word.

Hillary Clinton: “It is truly unbelievable that we have a president who wants to be an authoritarian dictator with all of the unchecked power that suggests.”

For posterity because it always makes me smile:

Why business schools have lost their way. A deeply candid, thoughtful critique of why MBA’s are failing students, business & society. Thanks to Professor Chris Marquis for exposing the reality of what these six-figure degrees are really producing. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/18/o...

The cycle "pulls money, attention and legitimacy away from the disciplines best equipped to question this logic: history, philosophy, sociology, political theory." "I Teach at a Business School. It’s Time to Shut Them Down." By Chris Marquis Gift article: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/18/o...

Getting an MBA radicalized me to the left far more than any book or treatise. Chris Marquis is spot on with his critique.

Business schools teach capitalists to be better capitalists, not better citizens.

Important op-ed from Cambridge Business professor, Chris Marquis, on the risks of business education for universities and societies at large. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/18/o...

Coruscating takedown of business schools. Highly recommended. I Teach at a Business School. It’s Time to Shut Them Down. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/18/o...

If this is BBC policy it should be documented somewhere, and someone should leak the document.

Polanski is right. Asserting that a state, or anything inanimate, has rights is a category error.

Meta took down the No Kings instagram; TikTok banned the Musk documentary account for supposedly violating its political posting policies. A reminder that platforms are owned by the wealthiest of people, control the means of media distribution, & put their thumbs on the democracy scale as they wish

Wonderful if real. Who can tell, though?

hahahah #fail

A fabulous book, one that I read as soon as it came out, please do go buy it, go read it, it’s people like Sarah that need our support… www.waterstones.com/book/careles...

Well that’s … interesting.

Good old David Byrne. Bravo.

Impressively stupid, even for Vance.

Some fascinating information about sheep; also quality puns.

JON STEWART: “So in the FUTURE we WILL use A.I. to cure diseases… but right now it’s mostly murder, surveillance, and surge pricing for the McRib — What a trade! I’m getting the sense you guys might be full of shit.”

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

10/10. No notes.

That’s the way to do it.

The major platforms—Facebook, YouTube, and X—are all refusing to show the trailer for the upcoming documentary that eviscerates the ridiculous pest Elon Musk. So I guess we have to do our part to make sure it is seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY_8...

Opinions vary, as they say.

The BBC has long given up even pretending to be interested in who these people are, why they are coming or how they might feel, in favour of acting as a kind of shop window for the parties to display their wares of violence and cruelty

Quite an astonishing escalation.

With idiotic wilfully ignorant comments like this that feed the racists‘ lies, and a feeble policy approach way behind public opinion on relations with the EU, @eddavey.libdems.org.uk really needs to be replaced by @libdems.org.uk with someone who’ll lead based on facts not populist misinformation

Who ever came up with the phrase "legitimate concerns " needs a very firm wedgie

All day Piddington's womminfolk have been telling news how they will be terrified of "hundreds of young men nearby, free to come and go as they please." NOT ONE JOURNALIST has asked: "How did you cope when it was an army base? Who came and went then? Nuns?" Soon as you ask that, all becomes clear.

Brilliant demolition of bigotry and vindication of basic human decency. Bravo.

Scotland: We want to leave the UK BBC: Huh? Wales: We want to leave the UK BBC: What? Northern Ireland: We want to leave the UK BBC: Lolz Some shithole in Oxfordshire: We want to leave the UK because racism BBC: REPORT THE HELL OUT OF THIS #Piddington

The hospitality industry are back lobbying for a VAT cut They don't mention the cost: £12bn They don't mention who gets the £: ❌ The smallest most vulnerable businesses? Get nothing ❌ Consumers? Prices won't fall ✅ McDonald's gets £400m. Big chains are big winners 🧵:
