Charged about £140 by #O2 for calling travel insurance during a medical emergency while abroad, any ideas how to get this resolved, live chat has not been useful so far.

Just to recap: Calling Nigel Farage “an unflushable poo” = dehumanising hate speech. Calling for hotels housing asylum seekers to be set on fire = guest of honour at party conference. Bless those non-racist free speech warriors.

Farage and Reform seem to have no issue voting on the same thing after 2 years, so surely they won't mind another EU membership vote? Right?

DavidM @david707x.bsky.social · 09/07/2026
Just to be clear, did Nigel Farage cause a by-election so that people could vote on the same thing again to see if their opinions had changed?

In #Clacton the left should really get their sh*t together and unify behind a single candidate, I doubt they will, but they really should.

It shouldn't be legal to stand in a byelection after you've just resigned.

...creative types, struggling against #AI etc, with or without a degree. You'd need to somehow baseline against the people doing these degrees somehow to somehow see if doing an art degree benefits an artist, if that makes sense.

DavidM @david707x.bsky.social · 26/06/2026
I think these statistics are quite misleading. If you think about the kind of person who studies Economics at Cambridge, they are likely privileged and highly intelligent and would likely find a well earning job without that degree. Whereas people doing arts degrees are likely artists and... (2/?)

Netanyahu is intentionally maintaining perpetual war to avoid prison and I severely doubt Trump will do anything to stop him.

DavidM @david707x.bsky.social · 14/06/2026
I think part of the problem is Iran wants Israel to stop and Trump won't do anything to stop them.

Why did he post an AI image of himself as Jesus?

He keeps muddling incursion and excursion. Was probably told to say the image was doctored but instead said it showed him as a doctor. Completely unhinged idiot with late stage dementia. And he has the nuke codes.

Say the Trump makes a deal, declares victory and moves all USA assets away (ending thier blockade) and Iran operates a $2 million toll system on the upper unmined portion on the strait. Roughly what % of traffic volume would be able to pass through the toll area compared to pre-war volumes?

"All models are wrong, but some are useful" (George Box) There exists no statistical model, "AI" or otherwise, that is 100% correct, they are only ever an estimation. Any "positive hit" like this MUST be checked by actual humans. Innocent until proven guilty, and any model, AI or not, is not proof.
