Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage and Rupert Lowe won't be saying a word about this.

A dangerous White Racist Right Wing Rapist who was radicalised by them.

There's a lesson for TfL here, which will probably be ignored for a decade or so.

A friend in tech, when asked why tech firms are firing engineers in favor of AI, suffering calamities when AI does something crazy that's not caught by engineers, then rehiring the engineers:

"Managements reason in much the same way AI's do. They don't think, just complete thoughts plausibly."

We need to overwhelm the BBC with complaints about this. This is the most egregious breach of their own impartiality guidelines I can remember. They’re no longer even trying to hide it.

If it's a new policy, they've set themselves the difficult task of making sure that all party logos get equal amounts of screen time, while allowing for different news slots getting different audience figures.
Far easier not to do it.

We all need to lodge an official complaint. It takes no time at all, and I've dropped a link to BBC Complaints in the comments. This is shocking.

I will report back when I receive a reply to my FoI request

I checked this too.

*20 seconds* of Reform logo display.

*No other* party logo displayed.

In local election purdah.

This is not normal. At all.

I pronounce the argument that Americans need guns to protect us from a tyrannical government officially dead. Kaput. We're living under a tyrannical government and the only people suffering from gun violence are innocent children and civilians. No one's using them against this government.

may write about it at some point but god I loooooved working at the Evening Standard in the mid 2010's, it wasn't a perfect paper but we had such a good time, still feels so sad and stupid that London doesn't have its own newspaper anymore, for no obvious reason beside "greed and stupidity"

Van Gogh's The Starry Night

So yes, there's a little bit of Baltimore and a little bit of half-billion-year old hydrothermal vent in The Starry Night.

A wild thread:

490 million years ago, the seafloor which would become the city of Baltimore was a serpentinite-hosted hydrothermal vent complex.

Those vents laid the ultramafic structures that would, in 1812, be discovered as America's first chromite mine.

How did we get seafloor emplacement/uplift in the Mid-Atlantic? Well, you can thank the Taconic-Appalachian-Alleghenian orogenic sequence that started during the Ordovician for that.

The closure of the Iapetus ocean fundamentally controlled the formation of what we now know as the US East coast.

This is quite the point. I think when you take on the leadership of a failing institution that’s effectively abandoned process you can come to believe that restoring that alone will lead to positive change.
Institution, in this case, can refer to either party or country.

The regulated period for broadcasters for the upcoming elections is 26 March. From that point up until 7 May (election day), GB News will have to comply rigidly to the impartiality code. One to watch and get the complaint forms ready.

So kind of the BBC to set up an impromptu party political broadcast for Reform UK!

3 hours ago 3 0 0 0

BBC News so keen to placate Reform UK voters that it's resorted to advertising for the party despite being in the "electoral purdah" period.

What next? Immigration figures, presented by Nigel Farage? Richard Tice, presenting a consumer finance programme?

I wrote this with GB News in mind. This is clear breach of the Broadcasting Guidelines. bsky.app/profile/toek...

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.
