Lowe's latest policy is a referendum on the death penalty, followed by the retrospective introduction of capital punishment for past murders.
"If the British people support the reintroduction of the death penalty in our referendum, a Restore Britain Government would put Axel Rudakubana to death"

Elon posted this yesterday. Just for fun I did it with my before/after cancer PET scans that I had already posted online. In the "before" scan Grok missed the massive tumor lighting up my liver, and in both scans it flagged a non-existent "area of concern" in my chest. Other than that, works great!

Spurs not playing for 12 days has been such a relaxing time.
There are just too many football matches now, it loses the fun and makes each game a chore.
The game will start to die if they don’t do something about fixture congestion.

Many thanks to Zia Yusuf for helping us redefine 'Shadow Minister' to mean someone who isn't in the official party of Opposition, isn't even elected and whose only role is being a toxic gobshite.

Absolutely disgusting. Yes I'm unsurprised but how has our country fallen to a level where naked racism can be broadcast like this?
The GB News editorial director told me that their broadcasting Lucy White's call for all Muslims to leave the UK to go to a Muslim country if they wanted to practice that faith was part of a "fair and balanced" debate.

Imagine doing this with your one precious life. Other people are out there teaching children and curing cancer and you decide to spend your time telling outrageous, laughably unbelievable lies about a dementia-addled rapist and fraud whose legacy will be nearly ending US democracy
Leavitt: "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit. He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service."

It's horrible how working in tech has gone from "which of these companies with amazing cultures & benefits will I choose to work for?" to "which of these companies is lying least in the recruitment process & is going to eat the fewest of my kids to allow me to scrape a wage from them?" in 15 years.
