yeah when viewed from eg. my normal UK IP they do, but refreshing the page from CA or US IPs shows only one name. what I mean is I don’t see a policy reason why they couldn’t at least show “Lake America (Lake Ontario)” in the US?

showing the time to the nearest 100ms does make the countdown feel faster but i can’t help but feel there might be better ways to get people to download your app. (not to mention this was an affiliate link! it’s like they want people to bounce)

my theory: easily half of the AI backlash is driven by constantly being confronted with some of the cringeworthiest copywriting (human or machine generated) ever produced
Spotify modal promo for some godforsaken AI feature:
Prompt Cobrah’s playlist
"Need a playlist that keeps the party up til noon tomorrow.
Heavy bass club and hot pop.
Throw in some chiller electronic to give everyone a chance to breathe. But keep it freaky - nothing I've ever heard before."

ah I see the problem: the Network Link Conditioner is, uh, 60% on?
Screenshot of the mac OS settings app on the Network Link Conditioner extension tab, showing a 40 mbps down, 33 mbps up WiFi profile (more than I measured, so that's not the problem) -- but most curiously the big "Off-On" slide button has a render bug where the slider appears to sit in the middle of its container, instead of all the way to the left as it should when off. Made even funnier by the fact that this is an Apple-provided extension, you'd think if anyone wouldn't struggle with using their UI components in a forward-compatible way, it'd be Apple. But alas, such is the joy of mac OS 26.2. While we're at it, the screnshot also shows the semi-translucent "Search" box overlaying the "Wallpaper" settings tab in a way that renders them both useless and unreadable. Beautiful stuff.

blast from the past
cropped screenshot showing text:
“- Multilanguage (English, Français, Dutch, Swedish, Chinese Simplified and C…”
Here is the twist: in place of the “ç” in “Français” there is actually an “unknown character” glyph, probably caused by the page probably being encoded for a windows codepage but interpreted as latin-1. That’s what we had to put up with before we universally accepted the light of UTF-8, kids. Not everything on the old web was better!)

The first email links to www.yourparty-membership.uk, which is still up and claims to be operated by Jamie Driscoll’s company find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/1635... What a mess!
Today is the day. Our membership portal is now open.
For too long, Britain's politics has been run in the interests of the rich and powerful. From Ayr to Aberystwyth, our new party is about changing that - taking power back for working people, communities and future generations.
Joining isn't just about signing up. It means taking part in a founding process that is genuinely democratic and member-led.
This is your chance to help build something new. A party that belongs to its members, not the establishment.
Sign up to join Your Party today!
In Solidarity, Your Party

Legal advice is being taken. That email should be ignored by all supporters. If any direct debits have been set up, they should be immediately cancelled.
The agreed process was announced on 1 August: the Independent Alliance Group of MPs - Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana, Iqbal Mohamed, Adnan Hussain, Shockat Adam and Ayoub Khan - are stewarding and accountable for the foundation process for the new party, leading to an inaugural democratic conference in the Autumn.
Earlier this week, we shared new details about the roadmap to the launch, including our plans for mass regional assemblies and our founding conference.
Soon, you will be able to turn your support into membership at yourparty.uk, and shape the future of our party and our country.
