Its rank as fuck that Slipknot are touring with Marilyn Manson. I say that as someone who used to love Manson’s work back in the day. Metal is a fucking awful scene for rehabilitating absolute c*nts. Whether it’s Anselmo for his white supremacy or Manson for the allegations surrounding him.

Anyone supporting this motion is, at best, an imbecile. More likely they're a straight up cunt. If Polanski backs it, it would be an outrage. But even his failure to speak out against it is pretty damning. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

New Google Maps images reveal massive scale of devastation in Gaza
Satellite imagery shows further destruction of homes, businesses and places of worship since fragile ceasefire An update to Google Maps has revealed the extent of devastation during the three-year Gaza war and the severity of the continuing humanitarian crisis faced by the territory’s 2.3 million inhabitants. The images were taken in June this year and show further destruction of homes, businesses, places of worship and infrastructure since a fragile ceasefire came into effect almost 12 months ago.

The Nine Inch Nails UK merch store is shockingly shit. I ordered a t-shirt from them in July that still hasn’t arrived. They claim it’s going to be dispatched in the next couple of days, but it’s been saying that for two months now. Notably The Cure store is light years better and cheaper. #nin

They genuinely have no understanding of the human heart in its metaphorical sense. I think there’s something fundamentally broken in these techbro wannabes. The part of them capable of being moved by art and culture simply doesn’t exist. It’s just a yawning void that can never be filled.

For all that it's been barely reported in the UK press, it's still hard to understate the importance of the stance @labourunionsuk.bsky.social has taken on trans and non-binary rights this week. Every single trade union affiliated to the party of government has stood up and said we will not comply.
Joint statement from National TULO

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community

Labour's 11 affiliated trade unions stand in total solidarity with the trans and non-binary community.

Trans rights are human rights, and trans rights are workers' rights.

We in the trade union movement will do all we can to stand up for our trans members and all our trans siblings, to protect them from persecution, harassment and attack.

The government must act now to protect all trans people, to make sure their rights are protected, expanded and upheld in our workplaces and communities.

I'm an Asian Muslim woman from North West Cambridgeshire, in my thirties. In 2024 I didn't vote. Today I wouldn't either, but I'm a Reform supporter.
Voter card. A map of England with a dot on North West Cambridgeshire. About them, in their words: My landlord is the council. I've had to borrow money for essentials this year. I'm not doing paid work right now. My secondary school was a private one. My family could lend me less than £5,000 towards a house if I needed it. I count myself as middle class. News habits: I keep half an eye on politics. Her views, from her survey answers, in four speech bubbles: Zack Polanski is the leader I've most time for, Ed Davey the one I've least time for. Immigration is getting a little lower. Too many of our public services are being run by private companies. Robots and AI doing more of the work would be good for me personally. Where they sit on the BES 0 to 10 value scales: economic, left to right, 4 out of 10, within the middle half of voters; social, liberal to authoritarian, 7 out of 10, within the middle half of voters.

I genuinely wish people understood the rules of argument better. If you’re making an assertion then the burden of proof is on you. Not the sceptic. The sceptic doesn’t need to offer proof to counter your claim, say, that Gen AI is capable of humanlike cognition. It’s your job to back that shit up.

1) Excellent teachers are necessary and sufficient conditions for strong PISA scores. 2) There is no evidence that OFSTED counts as either. To argue that teachers must sacrifice their wellbeing on the altar of OFSTED ‘because PISA’ without valid causation is as absurd as it is callous.
