Farage being a racist hasn't bothered his supporters before so the latest confirmations are going to make no difference.
Being racist is no longer looked at as being a bad thing by at least half the country 😔

RIP the legendary Drew Struzan (1947-2025) 😩
Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

With so many people basing their understanding of news stories on headlines, this kind of one sided summary is dangerous.

Entertainment websites are disappearing, or having to double down on clickbait etc to keep going. A few thoughts, and a presumably futile request to Google for some guidance.

Google's search results are, sadly, damaging lots of websites. What does Google actually want? And is it what a human being would want?

This was inevitable the moment she went out and said there’s no place for transphobia in the party in response to Adnan’s transphobia. One of em had to be pushed out and it wasn’t gonna be him was it
Your Party is now mostly notable for its open transphobia and the internal struggle of five men to stop one woman talking. I think we can say your historic opportunity is done lads.
As one of your MPs told her: sit down.

Unbelievable that the first chance of a party that could actually deliver a more tolerant country and they've basically blown it before they started 😔

The fact that Film Stories, despite being the most important grassroots film publication, gets ignored like this is a loss to the UK film industry on every metric possible.
I mean, this looks great, but sooner or later, I'm going to take the hint.

@johnmu.com @searchliaison.bsky.social Hi - this is looking like it is becoming a serious issue - more and more articles are having their canonicals overridden and then being removed from Google's indexes.

The second season of The Orville has a run of episodes that beat all of Trek other than DS9 at its peak. Seth MacFarlane may not have the gravitas to lead but the writing and production values are pretty much perfect and it does a much better job than modern Trek in tackling difficult issues.

Inflation is up because of rising household bills - which are rising because of inflation - it's a self-fulfilling cycle that ensures those with money keep getting more from those that don't. Companies blame larger than inflationary price rises on the inflation they're creating anyway.

I normally don't like sharing this online, but since he's apparently being particularly horrible over on the other place, why not? Here's a reminder of the time I inadvertently helped Graham Linehan make himself look like a right plum.
