Servers amplyfy their sounds by vibrating their siliicon during great migrations, to ensure the weaker members of the herd can continue to follow.

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

I guess the US is now going through its own version of Boris Johnson and Liz Truss, in its own bizarre, massive Trumpian way. The fallout will be huge when it collapses.

Was transiting at Frankfurt airport on way to the EU disinformation conference.. so no, not yet.

I should have, and poured the peanuts in my top pocket for later.

Apparently they give you a lot of peanuts if you ask for some nuts with your beer in Slovenia.

We are more a scale up now than startup but we have just redesigned / rebuilt our data infrastructure using various AIs to help. The result is faster, cheaper and better than prior, with no new headcount needed. We deal with billions of data points a day. We are amazed.

They should. The Tories and Farage own it. All of it. All the damage.

He'll always pretend and squirm away. "This country has had enough of experts." I'll never forgive for that.

Over 150 schoolchildren quarantined as US measles cases hit 33-year high

The children in South Carolina were unvaccinated, as were many of the 1,563 people infected in the US this year.

Also, he's clearly saying 'No' to Trump. Body language in any language.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

Who among us hasn't topped up with a good sniff and then taken the Bentley on a cross-border spin for a 'stash your cash' weekend away break?

LondonDiscuss @londondiscuss.bsky.social · 2d

I quite like this approach. As someone who works in social media data, I'm all for banning social media. I'll be out of a living.. but we'll all be in a much better place.

He said“It’s my work, I’m a journalist,” he said, adding that the phone held information about “vulnerable girls”.

I bet it does.. but not the ones he's trying to pretend about,

LondonDiscuss @londondiscuss.bsky.social · 2d

I mean, doesn't it cost about ten grand to fill a Bentley, sounds like petrol money.. perfectly legit.

Just to say, I think it's awesome the US has a holiday every year to celebrate the greatest modern TV detective who ever lived. I'm sure I heard it right.. yes?

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"

My colleagues report that the group - Alliance Defending Freedom - has also been supplying the Trump administration with attack lines presenting the UK government as hostile to free speech

They are why JD Vance started talking about abortion clinic buffer zone cases in Britain
