The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

Personal note: London has been home for a very, very long time, but as of today, I am also officially a Brit - that is to say, a British citizen. I feel relieved and I feel grateful - but not, perhaps, in the forelock-tugging way GB News/Starmer expect a new immigrant to be.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Well I heard tell of a case once won
Of a cop who was hit by a flying bun
But you don't really care if it had been nduja
Dough flies like this
It cannot miss
Hilarity flows from a simple diss
And all the ACAB crowd sing hallelujah

Looking back at when we first met,
I assaulted you with a flying baguette,
Stronger than a gun
Mustard and onion,
Jury sent me home again
