Ooo, I have that one.
Amazing paint job.

Not to mention the moral depravity of making someone's "safe route" contingent on another person in the same situation risking their life to cross irregularly.

No one who would stomach that actually cares about the people who need safe routes.

It's a f**king depraved lottery & it's sick.

The media & journalists are often highlighted as key to a meaningful democracy (which requires an informed electorate).

Often underlooked are those toiling away at the unglamorous work of providing impartial & useful data to help us understand where we stand.

They are building a Propaganda State.

They are cooking the books on job creation.

Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Once upon a time serious, heavyweight investigations would be done by some or many of the mainstream news/media corporations.

Not now, not from those hollowed out organisations.

The thing about screaming into the void is that no one ever hears you, so you may as well stop.

It's not like we don't use deci in many other areas either... I mean it's pretty hard not to know what deci should mean in a word.

This isn't a democracy, it's (bad) street theatre.

Mike Johnson: "This hate America rally that they have coming up for October 18? The antifa crowd, the pro-Hamas crowd, and the Marxists, they're all gonna gather on the Mall. It is an outrageous gathering for outrageous purposes ... all this has gotta come to an end."

He didn't lose it though. He was never in the running. He was never going to get it.

He "wanted" it & couldn't bully his way in to getting it; that's different to losing it.

I love that sound track. More than I do most DP stuff. 🤷‍♂️

ICE left David, a 17-year-old boy, stranded on the side of Interstate 20 after pulling over his immigrant father, Hector, in Mississippi.

David began running in the scorching sun after the car and watched as it disappeared from sight—soon headed to a Louisiana ICE prison.

Here's their story.

It's really sad that, despite not getting (or as far as we know even having been considered) it's still all about him. Maria deserves better tbh.

Really living up to the "Kid" part of his stupid name.

Why does he care how people choose to look?

Why is on school campuses?

Europe could, and should be much more bold in investing in clean energy tech.

“I think China is using [clean technology] in a very, very geopolitically savvy way, taking advantage of America’s stupidity and regression back into a petrostate. China just wins. America has abrogated the playing field.”

He once said about his line "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die" that he was trying to think of the most evil reason to kill someone, and realised it was for no reason at all.

"Eye-catching..." is kinda how much of the West has ended up in this clown car hurtling towards authoritarianism. I think it's time to acknowledge that.

Strong speech from Badenoch. Well delivered. Sharp critique of government. Focussed on politically fertile territory on the economy. Eye catching policy which will get a lot of v positive press attention.

What a ridiculous non-story from Politico.

Banned from calling them burgers (a bit silly in my view, but hardy a big deal), not banned from making, selling or eating them.

Also, it's patently ridiculous to expect a canteen to change their menu just hours after a vote on something.

Who the hell in America is rubbing books on walls & wondering why their paint doesn't stick?

Or painting themselves with a nice base grey & wondering why they don't understand Shakespeare a little better?

Madness.

If they can clear the streets..... how exactly do they need help from the military?

Sharp rise in UK plastic exports shows how behind the country is

The EU has agreed to ban exports of waste to poorer nations. The ban comes into force in November 2026

The UK does not have a similar ban in place

UK plastic waste exports to developing countries rose 84% in a year, data shows
Campaigners say increase in exports mostly to Malaysia and Indonesia is ‘unethical and irresponsible waste imperialism’

A real shame. Now is a critical time for children of all religions and beliefs to learn about one another. Good RE fosters tolerance, empathy, understanding, and helps children discover what they believe, too. Cutting bursaries risks setting us back.
