So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

I expect that consumer-facing AI programs will continue to improve and they may become much more useful tools for everyday life in the future. But I think it was a disastrous mistake that today’s models were taught to be convincing before they were taught to be right.

My hollyhocks are finally blooming! They are now easily over 2 m tall, and I thought I was going to be engulfed by them on one of these days, but it seems that those growths are not more leaves but flowers! And they are black 😳

🚨 After months of defiance of court orders (and the Supreme Court) and claims under oath from cabinet level officials that they would never bring him back, the Trump admin blinks; Kilmar Abrego Garcia is being brought back to the U.S., where he can finally get some due process.

I am fascinated by how pretty the flowers of the catmint are. Our plant in our garden is in full bloom and the cuttings I took because they were invading the pathway are happily blooming in a vase and growing roots.

No amount of ‘tightening up’ of immigration rules will satisfy the ‘Reform curious’, unless you’re going to deport all black and brown people. Remember, they’re not properly English, as all those articles in the Telegraph, Spectator etc told us. Stop appeasing. Challenge.

No matter what you do, the far right will always want the next cruelty, and their torch-bearers in the press will attack you for not delivering it. All while priming voters to conceive of far right concerns as newly moderate. Again, this has happened in every single place this has ever been tried.
You’ve driven away your traditional base, while sanitising the racism of the far right for low information voters, who now consider them more reasonable. 
You have moved the sensible middle position toward the far right — where you now stand, boxed in, by the ghouls you’ve just baptised as moderates.
And the slide continues. Because you cannot placate these people. You cannot reach an end. 
Round up every refugee in camps and they’ll want the next cruelty. 
Their concerns are not about society, the economy or public safety, they’re an ever-moving target of fear and hatred that cannot be sated, it has to be challenged. 
And now it’s too late, because you thought that you — and you alone! — would be the first centrist to steal the fascist’s lunch by agreeing with them rather than fighting them with every fibre of your being.Daily Mail headline NO CAP ON MIGRANTS IN LABOUR'S CRACKDOWN, in response to the most repulsively draconian statements about immigrants evere uttered by a Labour government.

Recently I overheard a conversation in the staff room. A colleague in another department is leaving us, and they were discussing his new role in the new school. Another member of the department said "take everything we've got: lesson plans, resources, anything you need" and it warmed my heart. 🎓🍎

A good politician would make policies that reduce harm. The Trump administration wants to change what legally counts as harm so they can, through creative accounting, say that less harm is happening. This is Orwellian pseudoscientific bullshit and we should oppose it.

Never forget.
Title reads: "It Didn't Start with Gas Chambers." Text below reads: "It started with one party controlling the media. One party controlling the message. One party deciding what is truth. One party censoring speech and controlling the opposition. One party dividing citizens into "us" vs "them" and calling on their supporters to harrass "them". Below it states: "It started when good people turned a blind eye and let it happen." Beneath the text is a picture of Nazi Germany.

Seriously, if they get away with disappearing someone without reason or due process, and ignoring the Supreme Court, what's to stop them from doing it again, and to anyone they don't like? Just label them a terrorist and ship em off! To say that we're in a constitutional crisis is an understatement.

This should be grounds for both parties to come together and remove Trump from office. They have no intention of bringing Garcia back, in defiance of the unanimous Supreme Court decision, and are now labeling him a terrorist, despite no criminal record and being illegally/"accidentally" deported.

“De-extinction” is to biodiversity loss what “Mars colonization” is to climate change—wishful thinking that is at its core impossible but nevertheless sucks up attention and resources from actual solutions to these crises (which, ultimately, might be the whole point)

As Mark says, don't read too much into the stay. But this is sort of it. If SCOTUS agrees the government can disappear you to a Salvadorian labor camp, and there's no legal recourse even if you're innocent because of Article II, then none of your other rights mean a damn thing.
