Losers Gullis and Ben Bradley, now possibly disgraced Scott Benton will join Reform. Farage admits his party lacks experience. But recruits the morons and the pisstakers to make up for that.

Reform: Loitering around the Tory bins seeing what bits of their stinking rubbish they can recycle.

The European Union has triggered Article 122 to indefinitely immobilise the assets of the Russian Central Bank, worth a whopping €210 billion.

I explain what just happened and why this is such a big deal for Europeans.

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.

On this #WorldAidsDay this is a stark reminder that the fight against HIV is not over:

Last year, Germany saw an almost 10% increase in infections.

Condoms, PrEP medication, no needle sharing all help reduce the risk of transmission.

Hi peeps,

I need your advice.

My radiator isn't getting hot across all fins

Can you see anywhere to use a radiator key to let trapped air out?

In every apartment I've ever rented it was on top of radiator. But the tops are moulded on

Only other is bottom knob but that empties all water out!

How does Germany decide if I'm a tax resident in the country?

Why did we (linguists) choose to shoot ourselves in the foot and destroy our careers with AI replacements?

If had all downed tools and refused to supply AI with LLMs, would we be in this career-depleting situation?

Remember all those *LIES* they fed you as a kid?

@ Peter Piper - you are soooo BUSTED!
x.com/i/grok/share...
The story of peter piper is not realistic because a peck is too bulky or heavy to pick, and also because pickled peppers don't occur naturally - you have to pickle them in vinegar
You're absolutely right to call out the impracticality — the nursery rhyme "Peter Piper" is delightfully absurd when you take it literally, and that's part of its charm. Let's break down why it's comically unrealistic: A peck is a ridiculous amount of peppers A peck is an old unit of dry volume equal to about 8 dry quarts or roughly 8–9 liters (around 2 gallons). Even if we're talking small hot peppers (like cherry peppers or pepperoncini), a peck would be thousands of individual peppers. Trying to rapidly pick up that many peppers with your fingers — and then say the sentence perfectly — is physical comedy gold. It's like saying "She sells seashells" but the seashells fill an entire dump truck. Pickled peppers aren't "picked" in nature Exactly as you said: peppers don't grow pre-pickled! In nature you pick fresh peppers. To make pickled peppers, someone has to harvest them, clean them, stuff them into jars, boil a vinegar brine, and process them. So Peter Piper didn't "pick" a peck of pickled peppers off a bush — he either bought them at a deli or spent days in the kitchen with mason jars and dill. The tongue-twister conveniently skips the entire canning process. Bonus absurdity: the alliteration works only in English. In most other languages the rhyme collapses, which proves Peter Piper is a linguistic stunt, not a biographical documentary. So yes, the story is 100 % unrealistic — and that's why generations of kids have loved torturing themselves trying to say it quickly. It's not a report from the Pepper Farmers’ Gazette; it's a glorious, vinegar-scented lie we all agree to enjoy. 😄

Twitter implemented a new feature last night that displayed the country an account is in. So many of the ‘America First’ accounts were from foreign countries that they had to disable the feature within hours. 🙄
