I want to see a broadcast interview where a senior Microsoft executive is asked to move from Old Outlook to New Outlook without Outlook losing all their contacts, and then has to explain why anyone would trust their company to build an Artificial Intelligence.
Well those who survive will be much better prepared for the next locals!
This isn’t a scientific debate.
This is government censorship.

It’s a willful and malicious action to deprive the people of the United States of critical health information in order to prop up a government disinformation campaign against vaccines.
Jay Bhattacharya has ordered that a paper showing the effectiveness of COVID19 vaccines in preventing severe disease and hospitalization be suppressed and hidden.
This man has been crying nonstop about political censorship for 6 years.
But he’s the one who is actually doing it.
Earth Day 2026. One Earth. One Team.
The UK was “widely regarded as one of the most influential member states in shaping the EU’s environmental international policies.” The UK and the EU need a more structured and closer relationship to reflect the full, and necessary, scope of the energy, climate, and environmental cooperation. The partnership should be structured around four pillars:
1. Working together for climate safety and energy security Deliver on the commitments in the Common Understanding agreed at the UK–EU Summit on 19 May by: • Linking the UK and EU emissions trading systems •Rejoining the EU Internal Electricity Market
2. Building Europe’s Grid: Interconnectors and Joint Energy Planning The UK should seek full membership of the North Seas Energy Cooperation (NSEC) - securing a seat at the table in shaping offshore energy development and grid planning across northern Europe.
Today is Earth Day, a day to demonstrate support for environmental protection. We only have one Earth, and to protect and restore it, we need to be one team. Click to see what European Movement UK believes is needed to turn the ambition of the UK-EU Summit into lasting progress.
Reform UK just can't seem to get their vetting right.
Today, we've rounded up the worst of their Blackburn candidates. One said Oswald Mosley “was right”, another called Enoch Powell “prophetic”, and said Blackburn is “the biggest shithole in the UK”.

If I was the Greens I’d be worried that people who have demanding we refuse requests for help from countries invaded by fascists intent on genocide as a red line see them as an attractive prospect
Lord Glasman has declared the Home Secretary to be the new leader of the blue Labour group, but it is widely thought that the Home Secretary is likely to judge that 2026 would not be her moment to prevail in a party-facing contest (despite having been considered a frontrunner in September)
The Jan floods / Mt Manganui got a lot of coverage, lots of people asked me about them - these ones not so much

Might have been just the 00s, maybe due to Olympics

Not even intentionally either - being a councillor generally is hard. Being a councillor doing the actual job in the town hall is also difficult.
Having few people (4-5) with any experience about dealing with officers/committees etc etc will mean even well meaning, smart people will struggle.

Feels like we could have a speed run of Lambeth in the 80s-90s, or at least it will be perceived as such
When I moved to the UK I was surprised how common the Union flag was on supermarket branding
Can we talk about how harassment and borderline stalking of trans women by gender critical activists has become entirely normalised?
Why can’t a trans woman do a bloody Parkrun without having her privacy violated and her data amassed on a website?!

The Onion wants to make us submissive slaves to the New world order.
Correct.

Mad fact... 42% of Labour Prime Ministers have had to fire Peter Mandelson.
pete hegseth is so bad at his job that we're like one tick away from the gray zone being like "actually, pete hegseth is good, because he effectively stands against american imperialism"
A PA photo of a massive sheep fully off the ground jumping into poor Willie, who has disappeared in a mass of wool, as an alarmed-looking handler runs into shot.
Nine years ago today Willie Rennie met this potential voter on the campaign trail:
Possibly the greatest moment in any political campaign.
