Don't miss the new midweek podcast! @add-hawk.bsky.social explains how metrics and scoring systems –– college rankings, Rotten Tomatoes scores, and prediction markets –– are distorting the true value of things. And how playing games can help remind us about what's good in life:
‘ICE’s 2025 budget was $28.7 billion, over three times its Biden-era figure and more than Brazil or Spain spends on its army. Even with the best intentions in the world, tripling the size of a law enforcement body will bring problems.’

Why oh why won't the petulant MP children take wise Dr Mahmood's medicine
The actual question here is "Does supporting the existence of the Jewish State justify upholding its currently extant apartheid reality?" which nobody actually wants to address, which is why we all spend so much time dealing with hypotheticals and counterfactuals.

As the thread explains - no. There'll probably be more bullshit stories based on misrepresentations like this as all of the FTT's judgments start to get published online. And/ or FTT judges will write judgments as dryly & cryptically as possible to avoid that, making them more liable to be appealed
Bit of a weird question - is there some background about why it's being asked? (unless I'm missing some kind of language trickery the answer given seems to be the expected "yes" but using more words)
These people are desperate for there to be some anti-Churchill gang/ideology that they can be seen as standing up to rather than overturning the results of a consultation that not enough their people gave enough of a shit about to respond to
Government engagement on X latest
Really nice interview, particularly where he talks about his mother and Windrush

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave. No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.
Very obviously but if you said this ten years ago, you got wall-to-wall screaming and finger-pointing for being divisive, insulting, ideologically purist and tribalistic. But it was plainly horrible National Front stuff then, just as it is now.
Apart from the sheer horror of this video being made at all, it’s clearly false for Mahmood to claim Denmark still protects people who need safety, unless you assume all of the 90% reduction in asylum claims consists of people whose claims would’ve been refused, which is unlikely, & probably untrue
Farage has stood in about fifty billion elections and almost certainly knew this. His presentation of himself as a daring revealer of some electoral cheat code supposedly being kept from the public is complete bullshit
BEAUTIFUL! #LGRW
The Dublane documentary is ruining me
[Walter Sobchak voice] As if we'd ever DREAM of escaping to your bullshit islands!
"permitting asylum seekers to join the army?"
"YES AND HO"
The woman has no criminal record and is unsure what prompted the threat of removal. She fears being deported to Iran given her father's military service and her Christian faith.
Imagine what would be happening in Oxford now if Mandelson had become Chancellor
The FTT (IAC) has been issuing this direction as standard for a few months now

Liz Truss's proposed private members club looks like a level from Thief
I think the desire to maintain the "sublime" bits of the constitution feeds a lot into the unwillingness of MPs and Lords to get out of the Palace of Westminster for repairs. Can't imagine eg Black Rod banging on the door of a modern conference centre for the state opening
