As some habitual games that people here play are going behind paywalls, it's time to promote my free game Cortextual – not only does it have a daily "find the word" game but also a free-play game where later levels are more taxing than you'd think. Just match the twinned letters, numbers and emojis!

Cortextual

Play Cortextual - a free game that tests your observation and reaction skills.

I'm looking forward to an article about the Reform UK youth wing

Steve Trumm, chair of Basingstoke and Deane's branch of Reform UK. Bald white man.

Ian Cooper, leader of Staffordshire County Council, Reform UK. Bald white man.

John Roddy, Warrington Borough Councillor, Reform UK. Bald white man.

Ron Firman, some bloke who did something for Reform, can't be arsed to look it up further. Bald white man anyway.

At a fringe event in Manchester one member sought to bring some hope, boasting that Keele University Conservative Society now had its biggest membership in a decade. "We now have ll members," he said.

The rest all look like they are about to appear on The Apprentice. Now Alan no longer supports Labour, they are happy to taste the Sugar while he forces them to find a haggis in Paris, run a vegan steak restaurant and design a cartoon character for your baby, all within in 24 hours.

Toby Randall is annoyed because he just hurt his hand opening a bar of "Britian" chocolate. He thinks of himself as a bit of a mod, but the problem is that he just can't get his hairstyle right. Poor Toby. It's just not his day.

Danny Mosley, aged 19. Dr Pepper had a slogan, "what's the worst that could happen?" – I think this picture answers that question.

Danny Mosley, draped in a union jack flag and holding a can of Cherry Dr Pepper. He stares at the camera with a look of anger, his hair a massive curly mop. I think he's trying to look hard?

Miller Casson is 17 years old and is a MASSIVE fan of Wolverhampton's finest, Slade. His entire life has been spent lovingly crafting his luscious locks and eyebrows to look like Dave Hill. It's really working well!

Daniel Kirk, 20, absolutely fucking hates that he is looking more and more like the late Liberal Democrats leader, Charles Kennedy. Every night he goes to sleep and prays that he wakes up with a head full of blonde hair like his hero, Maggie Thatcher. But it is futile, as God doesn't exist.

Edgy Daniel Campbell doesn't like to show his face, perhaps knowing that the article would shit on everything he believes in. He likes to stand in fields with a suit on, like a young Jacob Rees-Mogg. His hat shows that he doesn't remember that Britain wasn't so bad before the Tories came into power.

Rhys Benjamin was just 16 when he was a contestant of Countdown. Now, aged 27, he sports a dashing combover, owns a chin curtain beard, and fucking LOVES telling people that he's into Doctor Who.

Rhys Benjamin, wearing a Doctor Who jumper, a combover, and the worst beard I've ever seen.

And possibly rightly so. Charles Amos, when he's not busy promoting incest, is cosplaying here as Jim from Friday Night Dinner. Literally identical glasses and moustache!

Charles Amos, dressed up in large glasses, an awful moustache and a hat that makes him look like that dirty old bastard in the pub you'd avoid.

The photography in this article really feels like The Times are deliberately setting these people up for ridicule. (You can read it without visiting The Times here archive.ph/KZZC1)

An article from The Times: "Meet the young Tories dreaming of a bright blue future". Featuring bizarre portraits of Charles Amos, Rhys Benjamin and Daniel Campbell.

It's starting to annoy me that such a peak then gets smoothed out in the graph as an hourly average. I do wonder what happened to create a short and furious swearing session though.

Er, now it's gone back to dbgray.bsky.social?

From what I can see your TXT record is ok so I think you should just try it again and it should work (you shouldn't have to change anything in the DNS any more). But it does take a while.

Dave Bagpuss Forsey 🍺 @bagpuss.org · 13h

It is showing invalid handle for me now but your DNS TXT record looks good, so hopefully soon it'll start working again!
