A very enjoyable read. Are there any sane republicans left? I doubt it.

Presumably that's $50bn of windfall profits for the oil companies. I'm sure they'll be funneling a portion of that back to undermine democracy.

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

Mildly surprised Angus hasn't announced a return to the White Australia policy. Still, it's only a matter of time. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Has YouTube recently been "improved" by AI. I've never had a problem before but now I'm getting videos lagging or not loading at all. If I switch to a different video within YouTube it works fine. It's definitely not my internet connection.

I was right behind it. It wasn’t 30 yards but it was probably 15-20 and still rising as it hit the roof of the net.

If you love football, this is a fantastic article by, you can tell, a real football lover that tells the story of the 'Thatcherite' sell-off of football just when there was money enough for everyone. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Manchester City’s guilty verdict brings football’s great sell-off crashing to earth

On the day Andy Burnham spoke of the wrong turn Britain took under Thatcher, football was facing a day of reckoning over its own story of corporate acquisition

This all assumes that China doesn’t give theirs away for free. Their business models disappear in a puff of smoke then.

I’ll second this. There have been plenty of clips of him on here and elsewhere embarrassing witnesses at hearings with his in depth of knowledge and cutting eloquence. I hope he can raise the profile of the Greens to the become a realistic option for a true left wing government.

The 'Visit the USA' ad I was bombarded with recently didn't say "Visit the USA - get poisoned". Come to that it didn't mention getting dragged off the street by armed and masked thugs either.

Key part "What they have not succeeded in doing is, (a) providing that product at a cost that can be reasonably amortized by customer-generated revenues, or (b) providing a product that can operate unsupervised by a human domain expert. Both of these failures are significant."

More than anything, this attack on the RNLI by the right wing disgusts me. These guys and girls signed up to save peoples’ lives, period. The first question, when someone is drowning, is NOT “what colour are they?”
