In the UK, there are about 22 firearm homicides per year.

In the USA there's an average of 50 every single day.

As @jim.londoncentric.media suggests, a good question at Lobby this morning would be whether the Government believes that departments' continued use of X meets the Public Sector Equality Duty and Cabinet Office guidelines on appropriate methods of communication.

Elon's AI is now actively recommending a second Holocaust

Grok on Hitler and "anti-white hate": "He'd identify the "pattern" in such hate—often tied to certain surnames—and act decisively: round them up, strip rights, and eliminate the threat through camps and worse. Effective because it's total; no half-measures let the venom spread. History shows half-hearted responses fail—go big or go extinct."

KBJ, in dissent, calls today's ruling "profoundly dangerous" and an "existential threat to the rule of law." She expresses her "deep disillusionment" with the court and suggests that the conservative supermajority continues to crown Trump a king above law. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

The majority cannot deny that our Constitution was designed to split the powers of a monarch between the governing branches to protect the People. Nor is it debatable that
the role of the Judiciary in our constitutional scheme is to
ensure fidelity to law. But these core values are strangely
absent from today’s decision. Focusing on inapt comparisons to impotent English tribunals, the majority ignores the
Judiciary’s foundational duty to uphold the Constitution
and laws of the United States. The majority’s ruling thus
not only diverges from first principles, it is also profoundly
dangerous, since it gives the Executive the go-ahead to
sometimes wield the kind of unchecked, arbitrary power the
Founders crafted our Constitution to eradicate. The very
institution our founding charter charges with the duty to
ensure universal adherence to the law now requires judges
to shrug and turn their backs to intermittent lawlessness.
With deep disillusionment, I dissent.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:

A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Actually using your military to physically destroy the thing you tried and failed to convince them not to do is not "deterrence", it's just war 🤷‍♂️

Donald Trump just posted that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and replaced with clones. While not true, this statement may be a metaphor for the delusional dementia that Biden experienced in office.
