Just catching up with this story. Turning Point UK came to my neighbourhood to “protect our kids” from drag queen storytellers at the Honor Oak pub. I don’t think people appreciate how much the English far right is tied up with Ulster Loyalism, and how dangerous this is in a time of polarisation.

"They can start cutting people's faces up. They can stab someone. They can shoot someone." EXCLUSIVE: Our hidden cameras capture the leader of Turning Point UK organising a fake rally for a foreign government and helping arrange a murder-for-hire with loyalist paramilitaries.

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

"This hatred, it’s like a cancer. It spreads because people will always say, ‘Oh, it’s just the illegals.’ It’s not. “From what I experienced, it was anyone who was remotely different, different creed, different colour, different sexuality.” www.theargus.co.uk/news/2665180...

theargus.co.ukActor describes 'abysmal racism and homophobia' he faced in ChichesterAn assault on a cast member of a play in Chichester was "just the tip of the iceberg" of the "racism, xenophobia and homophobia" the cast faced in the town, an actor has claimed.

I feel like we all need to acknowledge just how good the latest Olivia Rodrigo album is. She's writing the kind of self aware heartbreak songs that Taylor was brilliant at ten years ago.

Govt review also says much better support is needed for autism and ADHD, and that diagnosis shouldn't be a condition of getting that. Which...seems more important than the /possibility/ of over diagnosis, which the article says is unconfirmed.

images that spring to mind unbidden, part 999: "trans-inclusive radical misogyny" // "women should stay out of kitchens"

Everyone knows that most guys have a bad Kermit impression and a bad Jimmy Stewart impression just hair-trigger primed to deploy, but less well known is that for those of us of a certain age, we also have a bad Suzy Izzard impression on the stocks

This is a very strange way to say they've decided their leader can't get elected in a borough where they went from 1 to 10 councillors earlier this year.

I've been a member of the lobby for well over a decade. Not a single one of my lobby colleagues has said a word about the Conservatives banning me from their conferences, without any explanation. Contrast with the US where even Fox News stood in solidarity when Trump banned news outlets he disliked

bylinetimes.comKemi Badenoch's Conservatives Block Byline Times From Conference After Condemning Reform for Journalist BanThe ban comes just weeks after the Conservative leader called Reform's barring of critical journalists from their conference an "authoritarian" attack on the free press

I've stopped using Booking dot com and the other travel platforms for this reason They are rife with scammers and the platforms are often incredibly slow to act, if at all Booking dot com's own 'AI trip planner' was also shown to give flat out wrong information What are we doing?

bbc.co.ukScam booking sent Loughborough family to Wetherspoon pub near Tower BridgeWhich? says staff are turning away up to 20 tourists a day after scammers used the pub's address.

What I don't understand is how she defines 'English' is it just a skin colour thing? Or do you have to trace your roots back a certain amount. Cos some of my family were French a few centuries ago, am I not English? Or is it ok because we've been mostly English for two centuries?

"Other countries have no qualms in limiting who can be part of their citizenry and use ethnicity and culture as criteria" says Braverman, of Reform. She wants to do that for English (a non-citizenship identity). To do it for citizenship too is a Restore argument that could exclude her

Can someone mixed-race be English? What if one parent is mixed-race. Ethnicity is basically vibes and that's especially so when your nation has been a complete soup of genes from all over the world as far back as anyone can tell.

I find it delightful that everyone in the comments thinks this is about a faction they don't like and are certain their faction doesn't act this way.

Okay, so I have a plan to get everyone on our side. First, we be absolutely as viscerally unpleasant as possible. Next, we downplay any time we get what we want, say it's the bare minimum and so forth. Finally, if anyone gives up and says we win or apologizes, we belittle them.

“Why should I care if they come for minorities? I will simply not speak out, because I am not a minority.”

Unlike many I was quite enjoying this season of Reacher but the finale has totally lost me. I know Reacher is basically supernaturally tough but he takes a beating Wolverine would struggle to come back from and it barely slows him down. Plus he seems to take a sadistic pleasure in gruesome murder.

I feel like I know enough about this to know I would absolutely consume any book, podcast documentary series, Aaron Sorkin film, that anyone cared to make about it. It's absolutely insane, slightly terrifying, and a guiding tenet of many of the people trying to define our future.

What the absolute fuck is this line of questioning by Justin Webb? It’s worse than pure grandstanding; it’s querying Miliband’s faith.

I'm a millennial (although one of the oldest ones), and I've just started getting targeted things telling me that to prevent my elderly heart from immediately packing in, I should eat more avocados. WELL WELL WELL.

I already thought this pencil portrait Jack Kirby did of his wife Roz was great but then I read the caption: "A drawing of Mrs. Kirby done, from memory, on the back of a piece of German stationery picked up off a dead enemy soldier." DAAAAMMMMNNN!

Apart from anything - this would be so easy to just do yourself. If you can work out how to use ChatGPT you can work out how to put a bunch of fonts into a canva. It would take ten minutes longer and would include actual things you sell.

people who use ai for businesses baffle me. do they not read what these produce? do they not think this is decieving customers? it makes tou look lazy and i think you deserve to fail as a business

I just hope that a few stupidly rich people see the outpouring of love for Dolly, decide that's the kind of legacy they want and start treating their money like an opportunity to help people instead of a dragon's hoard.

As a Brit who doesn't follow basketball, the only other time I've heard of Enes Canter was when he made a big fuss of supporting Tibet. So I guess that came more from a right wing 'fuck China' perspective than from actually giving a shit about oppressed people?
