Even at the time, it did seem questionable but, you know, he did have a ‘vibe’ about him that didn’t make it completely unbelievable

Fence #26 will be a special on all things print, and in tribute to the storied history of the UK gutter press, our letters page wants your GOSSIP & SCANDAL.

So, we're asking you all: what was the most scandalous (true or false) bit of gossip that dominated your school or neighbourhood growing up?

And yet major corporations have “embracing AI” as significant pillars of their business strategies now and are already laying off people before they even have the (likely never to happen) AI solutions that will replace them, or a real idea of how much legitimate AI services will cost them.

Can you “vanish suddenly” if you do give notice though?

Trump says he’s ordering the release of all government records on Amelia Earhart.

Trump: I have been asked by many people about the life and times of Amelia Earhart, such an interesting story, and would I consider declassifying and releasing everything about her, in particular, her last, fatal flight! She was an Aviation Pioneer, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, and achieved many other Aviation "firsts." She disappeared in the South Pacific while trying to become the first woman to fly around the World.
Amelia made it almost three quarters around the World before she suddenly, and without notice, vanished, never to be seen again. Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions. I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA

Waiting for the rapture. Anyone know what time it’s actually happening? Got a meeting later I’d love to be able to cancel

Came from Cuba on a boat / My former life seems hazy / Play the game to be the GOAT / But the coke game’s crazy / You think you know how the story will end? / Come and say hello to my little friend

A BBC4 season of Robert Redford films in tribute would be a wonderful way to spend several evenings in. So many absolute classics.

The crowd of men I saw coming out our station with their flags etc on their way home from London this afternoon was depressing. One positive is that from the look of them, most will be dead due to hypertension/diabetes/alcoholism/stupidity in the next few years but that will take time

BBC News is sadly complicit in this fucking mess. The prominence of Reform. The cowering uncritical parroting of far right views with little balance of alternative views. The hysterical coverage of events in the US this week. As i saw someone put it this week, “news driven by demand not supply”.
