I so hope that when the police turned up just for one second he thought it was a strip-o-gram.

Looking forward to Matt Goodwin announcing that Andrew isn't British, because it's not just about a piece of paper.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.

Bit like Lent then...
Just stop for a moment and think about what a phenomenally magnificent place this beautiful planet could be if m̶o̶r̶o̶n̶s̶ people stopped wanging on about how their belief in the invisible being is better than someone else's belief in the invisible being 🤷‍♀️
Happy Ramadan/Lent to all😊
Ramadan Mubarak!

The holy month of Ramadan begins this evening with the first sighting of the new moon.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting and prayer.

Fairly sure you can be #antivax if you weren’t in a class at school with a kid whose life had been totally fucked by measles.

Across many years as a parenting columnist, I've written about vaccine heistancy multiple times. Each time, I've tried to be sensitive and empathetic to these people but, if I'm honest, nothing has ever gotten closer to my true feelings about them than this meme from a decade ago.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop

And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹)

RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

Helped to pull some of the data together for this response when Full Fact contacted us last week. It doesn't get any less astonishing that people actually believe this viral rage-baiting drivel on the second time of reading it.
Claims that 75% of England’s mayors are Muslim have gone viral online.

We could only find evidence that three of the country’s 27 directly elected mayors are Muslim, and there isn’t an official complete list of all the civic mayors.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.

"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.
Why an A.I. Video of Tom Cruise Battling Brad Pitt Spooked Hollywood
A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.

I’m surprised that in *checks calendar* 2026 the Green Party are still falling down this hole. But nuts gonna nut I guess.
In case you're wondering, the Greens 4 Palestine motion includes such treats as the Soviet "Zionism is racism" and the full batshit internet crank "ARabS aRE sEMitEs acTUalLY".

They're so cooked, and so is Polanski eventually.
