Home Office used ‘AI hallucinated’ information to refuse asylum claim, judge suggests

The case relates to a Moroccan woman and her child who fled her country after experiencing forced underage marriage and extreme violence, including rape. The woman claimed asylum on the basis of fears that she would be killed by her husband: a powerful, previously convicted criminal. Continue reading...

The dinosaurs in Crystal Palace Park wowed Victorian Londoners and remained a beloved part of childhood in the city for generations. Delighted that these figures have been restored to their former glory and are no longer on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Every time the Trump regime uses the words "funded protesters" and "outside agitators" news outlets need to cut to this photo from last week. ICE has invaded these communities. Outside agitators don't show up in their fucking bathrobes.
From Getty Images: A resident films as people gather to confront ICE agents after two people from a residence were detained on January 13, 2026 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Trump administration has deployed over 2,400 Department of Homeland Security agents to the state of Minnesota in a push to apprehend undocumented immigrants.

Graham Linehan is cheering for a man who shot a woman in the face while calling her a fucking bitch. JK Rowling sits on her hands. Meanwhile, Posie Parker is tweeting that women should stay at home while men work. Tell me how the "gender critical" movement is a women's rights movement again?

Again, ostracise him, his family and his party. Ignore them. Shun them. Boycott them. If he wants a society where we do not lift a finger to help others, be they neighbour or stranger, then give it to him. He's asking you to pick a side. Do it.

I've made this point multiple times before but if Bluesky wants to grow, the things they need aren't opinion pundits but accounts that publish new information. That's breaking news reporters, politicians and stuff like official organization accounts that publish official statements.
