Yeah, because it's a really new thing that nobody can believe. Farage racist? Are you saying a racist fundamentally influenced the Brexit campaign? Are you saying Brexit or Reform voters do so for racist reasons? Is that what the annual 'protests' against people with different skin colour are about?
No 10 calls on Farage to urgently address ‘disturbing allegations’ of past racist behaviour
Keir Starmer ramps up pressure on Reform leader, who has dismissed claims as ‘one person’s word against another’

The latest Cloudflare and Amazon outages have got me thinking about utilities. We can't build modern software without dependencies. The days of running entirely on the client are over, which I see as a good thing. The cost is that we rely on infrastructure.

I've never seen an adaptation of Wuthering Heights. It’s one of my favourite books, but it’s just not a love story and adaptations have that thrust to gloss over domestic violence and necrophilia to see people as 'flawed' rather than horrible. You know, not watching is an option.

Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

just remembered that alan rusbridger vetoed stephen frears making the lead character in tamara drewe (2010) a guardian journalist partly because she sleeps with a source, meaning that fictional journalists are apparently held to higher standards than real-life vanity fair editors

💰New revelation on the Orbán family’s €30m dacha, which Viktor Orbán insists is only his old father’s agricultural site: a witness testimony reveals that his son-in-law’s company BDPST Group (known for developing luxury hotels and mansions) maintains the property.

Stop turning this into a political issue, it’s not.
The Epstein files aren’t a partisan story; they’re a predator story.
This is about victims, truth, and exposing an entire network that operated above the law.
And the people who enabled it came from every corner of power.

Disney+ is gaslighting me. I was watching Scrubs on Friday and it cut out mid-sentence. Later, Scrubs was gone from the platform. On Saturday, it was back. Sunday: gone again. I guess we'll see if it’s there or not today.

Every time I watch The Usual Suspects, I remember that there was a music video (Snoop Dogg, I think?) that spoiled the ending.

When a far right pundit on a CNN panel with me ‘joked’ about my beeper going off live on air & then got banned by CNN, Megyn Kelly had him on her show & they both laughed about it.
Yet here is Kelly getting super offended when someone else makes the beeper threat against her. Oh, the hypocrisy.

Michael Wolff wrote about streaming before he wrote about Trump or we knew about him talking to Epstein. It’s a very angry book that argues streaming needs ad breaks to finance itself. And yes, he was right, but please stop quoting him.

The Fall Guy is very far from the series (not even the song - at least not the version from the TV series. Not the 'I'm not one to kiss & tell, but I've been seen with Farah'), but it's actually a good film.
