According to Jewish Insider he described it as “my Totenkampf” he knew. He’s lying about not knowing.

Neighbors 2.0

A drawing of two herky jerky figures in someone's front yard, loose, flailing skin, unnatural postures, a man with a melting face and a illfitting suit and a woman in a black dress and fishnet stockings, her head bent down as if broken, the man waves to the observer.
Accompanying narration reads "there are strangers on the lawn wearing the skin of my dead neighbors.
They keep telling me to 'come on out', they're doing all the 'classic' things my neighbors used to do. Saying it's 'Neighbors 2.0'.
'Everything I used to love about my old neighbors but streamlined, a leaner operation.'
'Classic things like waving, getting mail mixed up, arguing about trash bins.' All the hits.
I was never really close with my neighbors when they were alive."

Meeting yesterday with Brianna Ghey's mother Esther - and pupils at Brianna's former school - was a powerful reminder of why controls on social media and smartphone use in schools is so important for children, teachers and parents. (1/2)

Aberfan was an awful disaster and there are still ~2,500 disused coal tips in Wales. Merthyr Tydfil and Caerphilly specifically all have more than 50 tips of “higher risk” status. The floods coming with the climate crisis make the risk of another Aberfan in our lifetimes terrible to think about.

When Reform UK justified ending indefinite leave to remain by citing the “Boriswave,” it wasn’t just jargon. As @robtoes.bsky.social tells @helenpidd.bsky.social, the term originated on the far right — carrying racial undertones that reshape how we talk about migration.

Looks like Maccabi have saved the UK government from the spectacle of somehow overturning an expert public safety assessment.

Either politicians make public safety at sports stadiums an absolute priority or they do not.

Maccabi Tel Aviv say in a statement that they will "decline any allocation offered on behalf of away fans" for next month's Europa League match against Aston Villa at Villa Park, adding that "the wellbeing and safety of our fans is paramount."

Oh nooooo, Lindsey Halligan, this is not how any of this works

(15 screens into a Signal exchange) www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Screenshot of a text exchange via Signal between Anna Bower and Lindsay Halligan.

Halligan: By the way - everything I ever sent you is off record. You're not a journalist so it's weird saying that but just letting you know.

Bower: I'm sorry, but that's not how this works.
You don't get to say that in retrospect.

Halligan: Yes I do. Off record.

Bower: I am really sorry. I would have been happy to speak with you on an off the record basis had you asked. But you didn't ask, and I still haven't agreed to speak on that basis. Do you have any further comment for the story?

Halligan: It's obvious the whole convo is off record.
There's disappearing messages and it's on signal. What is your story? You never even told me about a story.

The @nytimes.com decided last year what the story was; Trump II was the righteous punishment visited upon their interns and junior staffers and grandchildren for being so annoying about MeToo and BLM, and once they understood that and repented, they could have democracy back.

The costs of the UK’s Global Talent Visa looks a trifle high in comparison to competitor countries - largely through the Immigration Health Surcharge (which critics say is a form of double taxation as they contribute to the NHS through normal tax on their earnings)

👀"Butter, milk, beef, chocolate and coffee accounted for about 40 per cent of the increase in food prices over the past year. Prices for these items rose by an average of 15.6 per cent in the year to August, compared with 2.8 per cent for other foods."

Five staples fuelling UK food inflation as climate risks rise, study finds

Findings challenge narrative that food price growth is being driven by higher taxes and wage costs
