Here’s the latest 'scoop' being spread by right wing gobshites on Shitter. Except:
-he’s not a teacher, he’s an assistant
-the school didn’t sack him, he works for an agency
-they stopped using him not for putting up flags but for posting racist bollocks and misinformation online.

How much would you pay for a version of Wikipedia that was reliable, trustworthy, and updated daily? $5 a month? $2? $1?
It really is potentially a useful resource, but we have to be realistic and see that it can't ve free much longer.

I'm 51 years of age, and for all my adult life, the one constant in politics is 'we need to talk about immigration'. Could we try just try shutting the fuck up about it, actually?

polanski is doing well because the strategy of everybody to his right has been hippy punching for what feels like forever and there are now enough hippies who don’t like being punched to show up in polling

As a Brit, shutdowns are one of the hardest things to understand about US politics. Every few years it's 'oh yeah we'll just randomly stop paying essential workers overnight Because Politics' like some collapsing rogue state and people just...roll with it? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Until one of the current strikers starts banging in 20+ a season, this will continue to be a thing.

Harry Kane on whether he’s going back to Spurs: "I’m not sure. I’m very happy in Bayern Munich. It’s not something I'm thinking about. It’ll always be "we" (with Spurs), I spent my whole life there. I’m a fan of them & will always watch them & see how they’re doing. But for now, I’m loving it here.

I used to work somewhere that produced AI responses to client requests, based on our training manual.
People spent twice as long proofreading and correcting the text as it would have taken to look the information up and type out a reply manually.
AI is trash.

Fox News stopped talking about Herschel Walker after he lost his bid for a U.S. Senate seat. Walker was accused of paying for two abortions, terrorizing his son, ex-wife, and other women. He also had children he did not disclose to the public and had exaggerated his resume.
