A sobering thought: were Nigel Farage to become Prime Minister then the terrifying scenes from Minneapolis would become terrifying scenes here.

Vikings began settling Greenland around 980 CE - roughly 20 years before they reached North America.
Maybe Denmark should lay claim to the USA and go full Mouse that Roared.

The damage that the Grok thing could do to young lives - and their future careers - doesn’t bear thinking about - it’s horrific. Such a shame that alleged genius incapable of thinking or caring - but I guess extreme ideologies trash those skills or inclinations 😬😱
'You Hate Free Speech' is the go-to Far Right smear every time a targeted group pushes back.
Would be great if headlines like this helped people understand that ugly tactic.

@shelaghfogarty.bsky.social - re discussion about Grok et al - two things - it IS possible to implement changes to ALL image editing apps to apply watermarks showing AI or otherwise edited since image created - this info is stored in the digital image file - BUT it needs legislation to enforce.

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

"Instead of acknowledging migrants as the survivors of climate collapse – fuelled by the global north, which is responsible for 92% of excess global emissions – these political parties emphasise 'overpopulation' and 'opportunism' in the global south."
Afua Hirsch: Politicians looking to blame others for migration should look at themselves | Good Law Project
The west has spread environmental and economic damage around the world. Now the people fuelling the politics of hate are making money from the apparatus of hatred, says Afua Hirsch.

Those observing Christmas are celebrating a family of asylum seekers. If there is indeed a "War on Christmas," it's being waged by those trying to make our country less safe for the poor, for the marginalized, and for refugees.

Jemma Forte, "You are defending a man who won't release the Epstein files"
Brian Coleman, "I have no time with this obsession with Epstein"
"Who cares what people did in private as long as it was legal"

So so sad to hear this - but I’d rather see you do this now than read later that you fell into line Robin. Shameful that the honourable and decent should be targets of the clipboards. Hope that we’ll still have access to your talents on the outside. RIP strawberry.
Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

I’ve changed my mind and changed my position. I think the Labour government should now campaign on rejoining the Single Market and the Customs Union at the next General Election.
The economy is not going to grow sufficiently to improve living standards until we do.

‘Racism can damage your health’
Not comfortable with the celebrations in some replies, but the article is weird. Paints him as a working class hero and "character", rather than a man with a lifetime of violence.and hooliganism, who fell to his death while taking part in a festival of xenophobia. It normalises it. Dangerous.
"He was reputed to be the first person in the country to receive a football banning order when they were introduced, and spent several spells in prison in his younger days for football-related violence."
