This is the clip the BBC did not think worth showing on the 6 o’clock news. Disgraceful.
Jamie Raskin, "They only want to protect free speech that they agree with"
JR then demolishes Farage, ending with
"You might want to think twice before you let Nigel Farage Make Britain Great Again"

This is apparently from the New York Times 100 years ago this week. History is full of these forgotten characters but it would be fascinating to know what if anything happened to this Hitler character.

My take on the green belt? What seemed a good idea at the time has become counter-productive.
Instead of preventing suburban sprawl, it's encouraged exurban sprawl. Commuters now simply leapfrog over the green belt into what should have been deep rural beyond.

Rayner wants to build on the green belt. But what is the green belt anyway? My long read for @thetimes.com explains how a noble idea came to strangle our cities www.thetimes.com/article/labo...
The (not so) green belt — and why we should build on it
Invented 70 years ago, the ‘green belt’ is one of the branding triumphs of British politics — but is all of it worth saving? Plus, find the ‘grey belt’ sites in your postcode with our interactive map

This could be interesting. AI has the potential to transform healthcare. Question is, does healthcare want to be transformed? Plenty of traditional players with a lot to lose…

Bentancur gets a seven-game ban for his comments about Son in the summer. This is obviously a blatant case, but you see so much subtle and not so subtle racism towards Son (and east Asian players in general) and it really really has to stop.

I think it's interesting and instructive that Threads has been overrun by liberal election fraud conspiracies and Bluesky just... hasn't. (h/t @taylorlorenz.bsky.social)
I suspect that's because Threads is 100% algorithmic media, and Bluesky has no algorithm to game.

Meta's Threads is 'overrun' with liberal election fraud conspiracies
