R4 just now: "this decision will cause untold worry and should certainly be reexamined by the courts."
The irony is fucking staggering; and the spin on the tribunal conclusions was appalling.

It's appalling that "don't be an arsehole" is a newsworthy stance.
Always love to see great talent using their platform for unabashed good.

On feeding AI:
"Mr Pichai said action was needed, including in the UK, to develop new sources of energy and scale up energy infrastructure."
We should probably earmark some of Google's corporate tax take to fund that, then.

I can't remember a time in my life when the English flag hasn't been an icon for the NF, the BNP, or whatever current rebrand the racist hooligans are organising under. It's bullying, not patriotism.
Here's my argument with Sir Bernard Jenkin MP about the report showing how the racist intimidation of Black and Brown NHS workers on home visits has been exacerbated by the far right's wall of flags.

I call myself a mathematician but my better half had to explain the geometry in Alt-J's "Tessellate".
I did get the TGTBATU reference FWIW.

When I was growing up, the flag was a symbol of the NF: nasty, stupid, brutish thugs. Then for a brief, glorious moment, it was associated with the Spice Girls. Now it's just back with the twats. How fucking depressing.

Oh no, no adult content or direct messaging.
Okay, so we have an infantalising and authoritarian government; but honestly in this case it seems like no loss.

Trying to work out if this is more or less reprehensible than shouting "nonsense" at Jack Straw.

There aren't enough quotes in the internet to sufficiently surround "justified". What an abysmal* way to bully people for nonconformity.
(* "Abysmal" here is a value judgement. If you're *actually* a bully then what the EHRC reckons seems hugely effective.)

I see a photo of "Christian Concern" protesters standing by a sign that reads "the road to hell is paved with good intentions".
I'm not a fan of legislating by aphorism; however I'm willing to admit that the intentions of these people may be good.

It's amazing to think that the end of the dinosaurs is closer to the end of Liz Truss' disastrous premiership than it it to today.

I'm not an expert, but it looks like Trump's following on from Canada by securing an election in Australia as well.

That the electoral reform act wasn't undone prior to these mayoral elections is a real pity. There's something viscerally appealing about any kind of ranked choice being better able to reflect "please god not any of these awful chancers" than FPTP.
