It is very interesting that the Mail’s story on Michael Gove’s recent ex-girlfriend being charged with CSAM offences has been memoryholed two days after it was published. Public records show she appeared at Oxford Combined Court centre on September 30 and pleaded not guilty.

Important question: is the Firmus guy "the Elizabeth Holmes of data centres" or "the Pete Evans of data centres"

'Netanyahu's diatribes against antisemitism aim above all to silence his critics'
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu uses the fight against antisemitism to legitimize his alliances with Jewish supremacists and the European far right, writes historian Jean-Pierre Filiu in his column for Le Monde.

Ukraine blows up Russian data centres and immediately and mysteriously online talk about Germany’s Far Right AfD virtually disappears. Stop Putin you stop the Far Right.

In Germany, the curb can charge your car. Developed by Rheinmetall, these electric vehicle charging points are integrated directly into sidewalk curbs, removing the need for conventional charging posts. The compact system delivers up to 22 kW while taking up virtually no additional sidewalk space.

Remember, in Sumerian: "gal" means "a large cup" "gala" means "a ritual singer" or "a crossdresser" or "cellar" "gála" means "vagina, vulva, female genitalia" "galla" means "demon" or "police chief" Make sure to always enunciate! Wouldn't want to confuse people about what you want.

I saw the actual Tom Waterhouse at the peak of his fame on Balmoral Beach. He looked haunted. The only other person I've seen who looked so unrelentingly miserable was James Packer

An image posted on Facebook that shows Peter Brock as the driver across the River Styx, picking up Elizabeth II after she died. He asks her “need a lift?” She replies “take me to my husband please”. The poster adds “remembering both on this fateful day 8/9”

When Angus Taylor was Energy Minister, his coal-first policies weren't costed. And he was in government then. When Angus Taylor was Shadow Treasurer, his economic policies weren't costed. Now Angus Taylor is opposition leader and is anyone surprised that his policies aren't costed?

Headline makes it sound like the DCCC spent all their money on hookers and blow and now rent is due but the real reason is Trump and the Republicans are so toxic the DCCC thinks it can compete in districts Trump won by 13-20 points.
Specifically, Merz dedicates significant portions of the memo to four districts where the committee is desperate for more money in order to compete — all of which President Donald Trump won by double-digit margins in 2024:

— Florida’s 27th District (Trump +14.6)
— Nevada’s 2nd District (Trump +13.9)
— South Carolina’s 1st District (Trump +13)
— New York’s 21st District (Trump +20.7)

Those people have always existed. Before they transported convicts to New South Wales the English held public hangings at Tyburn. The difference is those people run the US for the moment, and hopefully that moment is passing as it was always going to
