I'm delighted to learn this, not least because the next item on my task list, which is to take my pet geese to see a well-known play by Samuel Beckett, is also a palindrome: "TO DO: Geese see Godot".

We should not trust the informational products provided by a corporation like Google after they knowingly and intentionally provided false information to consumers — incorrectly renaming important global travel destinations at the whim of one man — via their Map app. Abuse of such power is no joke.

The depressing thing about the US isn't Trump really. He's just a grotesque. It's the complete failure of all the things liberals believe in: Congress, the judiciary, the press, voters themselves, all persistently unwilling or unable to stop him. It's the failure of an entire society.

Farage won. And lost. And didn't even turn up, having told the press the police had warned him of a "credible threat". The police denied saying this. His credible threat has no credibility. Which is apt. The inquiry starts again today.

It’s why they keep getting the wrong message from science fiction, they believe the Torment Nexus is good, that the moral of the story is that the implementation was wrong, that if they invented the torment nexus, they’d do it right.

I like this in principle but could we trust MPs not to hire gardeners? We could fit our loyal representatives with ankle monitors to ensure compliance & it would also act as a way of ensuring that some actually spend time in their constituency, no names, no pack drill.
