Facts spoken by an ex-trumper...
A banner which, instead of reading "Party Time", reads "!Emit Yrtap" in colour cardboard letters suspended from a string.
Great banner from the Card Factory! *

The US Department of War Crimes.
He's repeatedly insulted our country, our leaders and our military, is pushing up our prices and threatening our national security, yet the self-proclaimed 'patriotic' right-wing press still finds a way to put themselves on his side
Impressive so far. A refusal to be bullied into an illegal war by a mad US President should unite the nation. But Brexit Britain is, of course, not a normal nation.
This is either brilliant or scary:
Anthropic accidentally leaked the TS source code of Claude Code (which is closed source). Repos sharing the source are taken down with DMCA.
BUT this repo rewrote the code using Python, and so it violates no copyright & cannot be taken down!
A coda to my last column: another AI agent has been banned for angry blogging: www.404media.co/an-ai-agent-...
The only party in Wales to vote against making it illegal to lie on elections was Reform.
Reform thinks it ok to lie.

He makes a persuasive case.
#Scotland runs temporarily fully on #windpower, generating over 200% of its electricity demand, a remarkable milestone offering a real glimpse into a future where fossil fuels may no longer be essential. #Renewables cheaper then #oilandgas offering independence from stock exchanges and #DoanldTrump
A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all
Some interesting academic papers on the relationship between #Wikipedia and Grokipedia.

Dame Judi Dench! 🤣☠️
Good grief.
A brightly-sunlit granite theatre building, and domed church next door, with a ominously-dark sky behind.
Beautiful day in #Aberdeen today. Caught this view of HMT from Union Bridge this morning. #theatre #darkclouds #Scotland
Twice on Monday, Trump said he'd spoken to predecessors, who told him they regretted not attacking Iran in the reckless manner he has.
Then "journalists" turned up and fact checked it by asking the four living former presidents if it was true.
Guess what... it's not

It wasn't a "Military Academy"—it was a reform school.
And that isn't an army uniform—it's a costume from a community theater production of "The Nutcracker."

Private Eye cover: ANDY'S FRIEND RESCUES FERGIE! Epstein is prepared to give you £15,000 Is that for Eugenie or for both of them?

Screenshot showing 1500 completed wordles with a breakdown of results, and 1494 correct - despite the "100% win" which is a rounding error!
A mild brag. Having completed 1500 #Wordle puzzles, and got 1494 correct. #smug
Vetting: some actual facts. This is a genuinely cracking read about how we filter – and fail to filter – those with access to our state secrets. If you're new to this, prepare to be somewhat surprised
No. But it reminds me of Microcosmic God by Theodore Sturgeon. A great story.

Something magnificent about Kemi Badenoch's self-confidence, and her claim that the Mandelson affair is entirely down to her asking questions at PMQs. Like a toddler who thinks their plastic steering wheel is controlling the car.
Just beyond parody at this point
If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison
