The state needs to get out of people's lives! Unless it's telling disabled people exactly what kind of car they're allowed to drive...

I'll bite, why 1390?

Do you think that defends Starmer?

Just let schools teach instead of micromanaging every part of their day ffs.

Pop up asking me to 'try Gemini 3 in AI mode' with only 2 options: 'Maybe later' or 'continue'

'Maybe later' or 'continue'

Tech companies have a really creepy aversion to the word 'no'

Likewise

It's official. BBC News is a Reform propaganda channel.

He was frustrated by Anderson and visibly shaking with anger at Sultanah

a white sock puppet with googly eyes and a red tongue sticking out ALT: a white sock puppet with googly eyes and a red tongue sticking out

There is a solution:

As far as I'm concerned, BBC News can rot. I still remember the bashing of trans people, including calling trans women rapists and using an actual (cis female) rapist as their 'source'

Giving Ankh Morpork from Discworld vibes

Problem is that if that's your policy, then you need to have corrupt ambassadors who don't get caught. Mandleson had been fired how many times previously?

Even setting the Epstein stuff aside, he demonstrated he was totally corrupt and unsuited for the role.

To see them play 5 other teams with gambling companies on their shirts. Or maybe they'll watch it at home and see Skybet adverts before the game.

The only reason to have legalised gambling is that illegal gambling is much more dangerous and harmful. The absolute tsunami of gambling adverts and sponsorships needs to be cracked down on.

If you're a kid who's a football fan you could go to the Bet365 Stadium wearing a shirt sponsored by Bet365

Our ambition has risen, but so has the number of volunteers needed! Let me know if you can help 💚

I love watching the little Mexican waves of their legs

About as easy to mash spuds with no arms as it is to open a packet of smash

I don't believe I've ever had Smash. Not sure why you would bother when mashed potatoes are both cheap and easy?

I mean... from an animal rights perspective there are issues that could be discussed, but from a normal culinary perspective? Not a thing.

Surely that's the kind of food you want to be eating on a first date? Something fun, casual, and gives you the opportunity to get to know one another?

FWIW I enjoyed Academy. I appreciated the heart in it and the fact that it tried to do something different, even if it didn't necessarily work.

I really think that if people had given it a chance to find its feet, it could have really gotten good after a couple of seasons

To each their own, but it's hard to say it wasn't successful when it ran for 5 seasons and consistently received positive reviews and fan response.

Not necessarily, depends how it was handled and promoted. Lots of people assumed Lower Decks would be a disaster but it's probably the most popular post-ENT Trek

I'm imagining that the Federation requires there to be a Starfleet liason officer, so you have some poor, put-upon Lt overseeing this collection of bumbling idiots trying to stop the whole thing degenerating into Lord of the Flies every 2 days whilst trying not to just take over.

That could be fun, following a new Federation colony out in the wildness and following the grossly unprepared civilian colonists as they stumble from one disaster to another

If you were in charge of Star Trek, what would you do?

2 proposals:
ST: Hope - A medical drama series set on a hospital ship. Provides aid outside the borders of the UFP like Medicin Sans Frontiers
ST: JAG - All legal drama all the time. A specialist ship sent to resolve disputes

Personally, I don't see why them being friends with Farage makes a difference. This is obvious election treating and should be considered illegal even if they had never heard of Reform UK

What a blockhead
