Everyone, not just the BBC reported on Trumps call to rally his supporters in the capital when he made no bones about the fact that he denied the election results. They’re not the only outlet to edit his insane waffle down. And now he’ll be able to claim the facts didn’t happen.

Bet the BBC are glad they’ve given Farage so much airtime over the last decade now.

Given that Musk appears to bankrolling facists and attempting to sow division amongst not just the UK but elsewhere too, how should we see the promise of $1 trillion from Tesla to him? Where do they think he’s going to spend that money? Tesla will be complicit in anything he does.

Though we’re not quite at the end, the final series of Brassic has felt like the perfectly paced ending. So many shows try to wrap a tonne of storylines up in the final hour, whereas this entire series feels like an epilogue. Taking time to give everyone the screen time they need.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Experts are exactly who to trust when you don’t have a clue. Gove and Johnson did similar damage here. There needs to be a program of public service education targeting the public to debunk these snake oil salesmen and put trust in experts where it belongs. We’re fucked if we don’t fix it.
RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

![As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ugcmot4f3ool6cottht63wx4/bafkreierpoqvjgg5hqx3zhtlfmvrfq3vaakb3h5wppcdzrvs5jh3zr7ce4@jpeg)

Even if Trump does intend to leave peacefully at the end of his term, I can’t see America still existing by then, it’s in absolute free fall!
This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social didn’t sure also criticise Labour for undoing what the Tories did and then spent every sentence afterwards saying they’re going to undo what Labour have done.
I don’t understand who would vote for them if they want to do all this. It just reeks of harm.
