Nigel Farage was largely culpable for Brexit, now generally accepted even by eejits as one of the worst ideas of all time. That he is allowed to dodge the blame for this, day after day, suggests that England has already destroyed itself.

Meta permits its AI chatbots to “engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,” generate false medical information and help users argue that Black people are “dumber than white people," according to a policy document seen by @reuters.com.

When you cover Israel's targeted assassination of Al-Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, remember that Israel falsely incited against him for months in an attempt to manufacture consent for this very day.

UN Special Rap Irene Khan, CPJ, and so many others warned us: www.un.org/unispal/docu...

Thankfully I noticed it straight away. Scary part is that they had my name and address as well as card details.

Card details were stolen - $20 spent on a website called fashion nova. Contacted revolut straight away and got money back. The weird thing - the item the thief purchased arrived today addressed to me! Anyone else ever have this happen? Never heard of the site so never shopped with them #speirgorm

I don't know what more to say, I don't know what to do. Bluesky keeps suspending their accounts.
My friends need help. I am their main point of contact but I am a small account. Yesterday Jamal (3) sent me a voice note to say thank you, he loves me, (in arabic) he wants flour 💔
gofund.me/dc42bbec

A screenshot from my Instagram, six photos of Mohammed, Heba, and their children. The caption says This is Heba and Mohammed (my friends in Gaza) before the war [their word], and now, with their two living children.

They were a happy smiling young couple with a toddler before, they dressed him to match his dad! Now they are serious and tired looking with two children (their twins were born on September 15th 2023, 25 days before this all kicked off, they were in Al Shifa hospital which was bombed and the doctors assassinated and there was no one to care for them, so the second twin died of sepsis).

A second screenshot from my instagram, it doesn't contain an image just the text "I know we are all struggling financially but anything you can give will help. Everything in Gaza is expensive and increasingly scarce. Even the bottled water is dirty and causes illness. The flour is now so rancid and full of sand and weevils that eating bread made with it makes them sick, but they can't not eat" [link to the gofundme] ($5CAD =~ €3.50/$3.50USD)

I did not know that! You can also penalty points for driving in the middle and overtaking lanes on motorways. If left is free you should be driving in it. Just in case no one knows that one!
