I think it's a mistake to equate Trump's regime with the Empire. Now, if they'd fired the Death Star but Alderaan was still there, was still basically fine, but now controlled that sector of space and charged the Empire to fly their ships there… THEN you could equate them.

Bonjourrrrr
Photo de Nicolas Sarkozy et de Carla Bruni Sarkozy debout dans la mer avec de l'eau jusqu'à la taille, tous deux avec des lunettes de soleil et regardant vers l'horizon dans la même direction. Nicolas bombe le torse et rentrant son ventre de manière exagérée et la photo est clairement posée selon une scénographie ridicule.
Au bas de l'image, photo sous l'eau d'une paire de jambe de femme debout sur le sable et d'une paire de jambe d'homme debout sur un tabouret avec un bracelet électronique (peut-être de l'IA je ne sais pas et je m'en excuse si c'est le cas).
On avait dit pas le physique mais désolé cela m'a fait rire, et la période n'est pas trés drôle pour moi.

He's a 41 year old grown man who has been lying his entire life. Cambridge fucked up by hiring him but come on. They didn't make him apply for a professorship with a CV full of lies.

Absolutely amazing. No apology or explanation for the mounting pile of, to say the least, improbable claims, and on top of that, it's published by the GLP, which is clearly doubling down.

My hot take prediction. Professor Arday won't lose his job. The whole thing will be finessed away on a magic carpet of hasty corrections, focus on bad faith actors, academic waffle, and a justifiable belief that while the dogs bark, the caravan moves on.

I think a classic example of this was when the endlessly tedious "Poppywatch" account tweeted a picture of Prince Philip in uniform at the Festival of Remembrance with "what did you get those medals for, Phil?" when the response was "he's a Second World War veteran who was Mentioned in Despatches?"

One of the worst trends in HR of the past decade or so was "bring your whole self to work". Please, I am begging you, leave your "whole self" at home. Bring your professional work self to work, please. Save your energy for your political campaigning for your time off.

Starmer announcing social media bans outside of Parliament is a breach of the Ministerial Code as it's not a critical emergency and Parliament is not in recess. I assume the Speaker will haul Mr Rules's arse over the coals? And Mr Rules will resign as he demanded when Tories breached the Code?

You might respect someone who just says "I don't care if Russia invades one of its smaller neighbours for the 5th time in the last 35 years" rather than pretend it's ethical that cos we haven't beaten Ukraine it means we won't ever invade anyone again.

By a quick bag of the fag packet calculation, the U.K. currently spends about *128.57 times more* **per annum** on the areas Jeremy says needs more funding than the increase in defence spending John Healey wanted (not - by the way - the increase he was offered, which was about half that).

Genuinely confused why there’s so much more freaking out about the single sex provision on the ol’ TL today than a transman getting violently raped at the Maudsley because they were unthinkingly put on the men’s ward. In one someone gets violently raped because of policy, in another people need to…

I’ve no brief for Olly R but the time line is crazy: He’s appointed 8 Jan 25. Mandy announcement had already been made 20 Dec 24 in advance of vetting. Trump inauguration was 20 Jan. So we’re basically talking about Robbins’ first 12 days.
