One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan.

I never made it out of the House.

Folks, for too long in this country, we’ve struggled by with a Pentagon. Crooked Joe Biden thought we couldn’t top it. But tomorrow morning builders - great builders, special builders, some say the best builders in the world - start work to turn it into a Hexagon.

They recently merged with Three, so Vodafonethree probably *are*.
It's a shame Three didn't merge with Ee instead; they could have changed the name to Threeee.
I really hate to break it to you... but those were the goodbye specials. Partyzone, Chill Out Zone, Dancefloor, in fact all the curated shows, have all ended now :( it's just a random jukebox now.

124/ The Labour right is the tinman (needs a heart), the Labour soft left is the lion (needs courage), the Labour hard left is scarecrow (needs a brain), while Blue Labour is Dorothy (just wants to get back somewhere black and white).

Social media bubbles: On Bluesky everyone believes he’s giving your allotments to Blackstone, on Twitter everyone believes he’s giving white people’s allotments to black people, and on Facebook everyone believes this heartwarming AI video of a six legged puppy cavorting with a dying Ozzy Osborne
No idea why the internet is getting so aerated about Labour's supposed plans to get rid of allotments as they're not going to be much use after Starmer has geoengineered the blocking out of the sun.
This sounds interesting. Do you have any sources on this?

It's often overlooked that Reform's current electoral position is considerably worse than Corbyn's was in 2019.

The fact that the mainstream parties have utterly collapsed is helping hide the weakness of Reform as a main opposition party. 27% of the vote is Michael Foot in 1983 territory!
Reform: opinion poll lead is well below what a successful UK opposition party needs, its leader trails badly on “do you actually want this guy in Downing Street tho?”
Labour: leader hated, on c23 per cent
Conservatives: need I say more?
And since smoking stopped being socially acceptable, there have been many more ADHD diagnoses. Coincidence? I think not. You could get away with unmedicated ADHD back in the days of smoke breaks. A break from sitting at your computer and an extra dopamine hit. Now you’re expected to sit for 8 hrs.
Which isn't a bad concept, but even that sounds like a rip-off of BBC2 circa 15 years ago.

A big shout-out to the Cato trade people, some of the very few “libertarians” who didn’t turn out to be authoritarians and/or Republican loyalists in disguise. 👏👏👏
A headline to be proud of:

I left X months ago. At some point, surely, a threshold is passed where it is no longer appropriate for Governments to continue to have a presence on that platform. If its AI going full-on Nazi is not that threshold, what is? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

The chatbot is also praising Hitler and attacking users with Jewish-sounding names.

As it happens, I have a book out about a man born in 1900 who joined up in 1916 and was absolutely determined to get to the front. British Army policy was against letting 18-year-olds go.

This sounds post-apocalyptic, but aspiring filmmakers and writers really should find and collect DVD commentaries.

So much applicable advice you’d never get in film school because it was discovered in the circumstances of making that movie.

Big cultural step backward to lose easy access to these.
