Joke of the day from Moscow: Russia tried to unveil its first humanoid AI robot, Aidol. Key word: tried. The robot collapsed during its debut, forcing organizers to cut the presentation short. Their rushed attempt to lift the prop only made things worse.

Not trivial. Not a minor editing mishap. A deliberate, stupid, counter-productive and immensely damaging over-reach by journalists on one side of the ideological scrap within the BBC.

Real quantum politics this. At some point the GOP will manage to collapse his wave function and Mamdani will either be stomping around New York in an IDF uniform or it will be under Sharia Law.
For those who aren't keeping up, Mamdani is a Zionist now (for condeming swastika graffiti on a yeshiva)

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

If I were the leader of the opposition a year after an election, facing an unpopular government, I would simply focus my energy on criticising the current government's policy record rather than constantly bemoaning the last fifteen years of policymaking, in which I was intimately involved.

The famous guitar riff for Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine" originated from a "circus melody" warm-up played by guitarist Slash during a 1986 jam session.
While Slash played the riff in a joking manner, bandmate Izzy Stradlin recognized its potential, and the band built the song around it.

Farage should go the whole hog and campaign for the UK to join Europe and join its right wing groupings.
Its wrong & un-British to strip from people the promise that this was their permanent home
Is it racist too? Farage is now exempting 4m European nationals with settled status, 9/10 white, but threatening half a million non-Europeans, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, Africa in a similar ethical position

The Blair settlement with business/CBI/markets was along these lines.

Biden missed this one simple trick to relegate inflation from the electoral top-spot.
I’m starting to notice a trend in the polling data…
—Top Public Worry: Corruption
—Biggest problem in Fed Gov: Corruption
—Top fear: Corruption
—What one word would you use to describe American government?: “Corrupt”
It’s almost like voters are trying to tell us something.

Kyle has a point. Universities in the two countries look for quite different things in their applicants and one of them has long had a moribund economy.
That's a Labour government minister berating university students and staff by saying that 'too often people go to university to "explore research and knowledge"'.
I'm very glad of our students who study history to explore research and knowledge.
