I guess it’s a compliment that the top story on BBC London’s TV/online output today is a direct lift of a month-old London Centric story? But once again the BBC is consistently the worst news outlet for actually remembering to credit others.

I really try to make jokes and find fun ways to spin terrible news on here, but I read this and the only thing I have to say about it is that Doug Ford is a piece of shit who shouldn't be running an Arby's, let alone a province. Fuck you, Doug. share.google/gPPqvtiuqD0O...

Shouts and chants rained down upon politicians at the Ontario legislature Monday as the government passed a housing bill that critics say makes it easier for landlords to evict tenants.

I heard there was a Cohen song,

And all the Christians got it wrong,

But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?

‘Cause you see its about getting laid,

It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,

But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”
hey guys i made a seasonal meme

Jimmy Cliff RIP

How you gonna come?

This is the 2nd time a major government report from Deloitte has been found to contain errors likely generated by AI.

First in Australia and now, as The Independent has confirmed, in a major healthcare policy paper for the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador #nlpoli #AI #deloitte

🚨 SCOOP: Toyota and Aston Martin secretly lobbied a Conservative cabinet minister to weaken Britain’s climate policy.

We only know this because Democracy for Sale won a two-year legal fight to force the government to hand over the documents.

What a bummer. Jellybean Johnson was one of the best living musicians. Dude could do anything. You may not know his name but you absolutely know his work. Rest in funk to an all-timer.
What a terrible drag to wake up to the news that Jellybean Johnson, one of the all-around funkiest, coldest drummers, guitarists and songwriters of all Time—not just The Time —- is now an ancestor. Sleep well, brother—well done. #MusicSky #BlackSkyOver50

That sounds like a pretty serious escalation.
Dutch air force personnel have tried to down several drones that were spotted over Volkel air base in the south of the country last night. The ministry of Defence said unspecified weapons were used and the drones disappeared. Some 20 U.S. B61 nuclear free-fall bombs are stored at Volkel air base.

Drivers are on their phones so often that I really think we should just include texting as part of the practical driving exam.
We’ve 100% lost the war on using phones while driving and it’s the worst.
