Yes, the fact that I'm attending the White House Correspondents Dinner might SEEM like a supine gesture of complete deference to the insane dullard who demands total obedience from the press, BUT that's until you see the secret message I have on my pocket square
Leibniz: But let us set our differences on the matter of calculus aside for a minute. Perhaps you would care for a biscuit? I have some delicious chocolate-backed confections, far superior to those fig-based monstrosities that have become so popular recently.
Newton: now hang on just a minute…
[attending the Nazi gala]: heh if they only knew I have a message folded up and jammed into my pocket oh yes please I'll have more champagne
We have such adorable little morsels of cheese to show you.
I used to complain that you could start on any WP page covering an area of academic study and within a few clicks could find a page that had something that any average undergraduate studying the area would immediately know was false.

It's somehow been six years since the murder of Lyra McKee. She'd be in her mid-30s now--which seems impossibly old--and lapping the journalism field. newyorker.com/news/postscript/the-incredible-life-and-tragic-death-of-lyra-mckee
This. I ignored them for years until someone finally linked me to an explanation that made proper sense - it's about stopping password phishing and fuck all to do with hardware keys.
And yet Mr Freedland was never wrong at any point. Isn’t it funny how the Sensibles keep backing candidates and moves that they hype up at the time, then turn against when they become a disaster, and yet they’re never wrong.
GB News headline: GP who asked Muslim woman to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her' is struck off.
Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil?
How likely does that sound? 🤷♀️
Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?'
Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports...

Wow. That's the dumbest take I read today, and I already had the misfortune of meeting Keir Starmer's fan base
"Eco-socialist proposes locally-owned renewable power". You really are scraping the bottom of the barrel on your hit pieces, aren't you?
But sure it's gen z feminists are the problem

He added: "I believe very strongly that women's wards should be for biological women. What do we do about tha biological female who is a trans man, looks, sounds, presents, lives, his life as a man is biologically female? We wouldn't put him on a women's ward. That would be degrading for him and humiliating And cruel.
Wes streeting admits what he is doing is "humilating and cruel".
But only for trans men (that look and sound man enough).
Perfectly happy to inflict cruelty and humiliation on trans women.

The thing about the right is, they want to be able to attack their opponents as if politics were an existential battle of good versus evil they are on the right side of, but demand to be treated by them as if politics were a good faith disagreement among gentlemen about optimising the tax code.

I have never yet encountered anyone who says "zero-trust" who doesn't have a cryptocurrency agenda lurking somewhere.
You might say it is a phrase I have zero trust for.
Is that legal? How does the insurance work? I certainly wouldn't be getting in one anytime soon.
LOS ANGELES: Please help these kitties Kit & Caboodle. Their owner passed away last week, and I've taken it upon myself to find them a loving forever home. They are GOOD BABIES. Can anyone *LA area only* adopt them? I just don't want them to end up in a kill shelter. Share, RT, ask around... thanks!
What are? Don't tell me - some cryptocurrency bullshit, right?
That's a bunch of words to say Google / Apple - maybe with MSFT too.
Welcome to the corporate future, time to stop cosplaying.
Sounds good. Would you prefer reinforcing the Google / Apple duopoly or the complete shitshow that led to things like Verify?
I think we can safely agree to ignore the fact that "voluntary" is load-bearing in that sentence and that these things very tend to become less voluntary over time.
