If the UK is on the brink of civil war, as Musk claims, it follows that in 300 years time there will be be a new generation of civil war re-enactment societies.

The president of the most powerful nation on Earth is so terrified of the tales that an imprisoned sex trafficker can tell that he plies her with a comfort puppy and custom meals and is holding out the prospect of a pardon.

The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.

The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.
Exclusive: Ofcom is monitoring VPNs following Online Safety Act. Here's how
Ignoring VPNs risks creating ineffective laws, but tracking them threatens people's privacy

Running. I should have made clear. Not in the car or owt.
I passed 1000km for the year today, I had hoped for 1610km / 1000 miles this year but we still like round numbers don’t we. Maybe next year #runningpunks

the fun thing about the BBC story is that I can't actually read about it for more than couple of minutes at a time because it makes me feel too insane :)
The worst you can accuse Panorama of doing is making a misleading edit – and I’d dispute that! – to make *a point that was true*.

The programme aired without anyone seeing any issues with the edit. It was on iPlayer for a year without complaints. Donald Trump *did* incite Jan 6th.
Tory culture spox demanding the BBC "grovel" to Trump is baffling. Who is this supposed to chime with?

Just a bizarre line that no one who doesn't use X would ever think.

Contemplating the possibility of the BBC giving Donald Trump money to settle a claim has me envisaging being angry in a way I hadn’t previously imagined possible.

Everything on our news agenda is being driven by a corrupted disinformation machine, run by a billionaire who sponsors Tommy Robinson and who keeps trying to foment civil war in the UK.

And incredibly our MPs & news providers stay there.

THAT is the problem. Not some bad editing choice on the BBC.

Legs felt dead but it was the quickest #parkrun since sometime in April so they should feel dead more often

American: “I’m paying more at the grocery store.”

Trump: “No you’re not.”

American: “I mean…I am. I have the receipt right here.”

Trump: “Prices are WAY down.”

American: “They’re just…not.”

Trump: “Are too!”

American: “…”

Trump: “…”

American: “…”
