I'm sorry to harp on, but how can Kemi Badenoch *possibly exist* in a party alongside a guy who complains about not seeing enough white faces. How is that possible?

A meme for the modern university...
Meme showing a worker labelled "academic staff" digging a hole in the ground while 10 others look labelled with management titles such as "Director of Human Resources" look on. The caption underneath reads "The only way we can cut costs is to reduce the number of academic staff..."

Always thought that was an interesting implication, that Orcs had the concept of a ’menu.’ Like they usually ate out in restaurants, and chose their favourite hors d’oeuvres.

Every pundit who took at face value the idea that the Right sincerely cares about free speech, or ideological diversity, or in fact has any principles at all, should be wearing a dunce cap and writing a lengthy mea culpa right now. Not for our catharsis but for public awareness at least

Celebrating our 22nd Wedding Anniversary (a couple of days late) tonight! @kitzingercelia.bsky.social
We got married in Canada in 2003 - 11 years before it was lawful in England & Wales. We lost our marriage equality case in the High Court in 2006 - but we're on the right side of history!
Cheers!
Celia and Sue with cocktails (Sue's is gin and ginger; Celia's is non-alcoholic cucumber and elderflower). And two pics of yummy vegetarian food - including a local damson souffle

The real 'two tier' divide in British politics is between the wife of a Conservative councillor calling for refugees to be burnt alive, being treated as a brave 'political prisoner', and the protestors calling for the end of mass starvation and genocide, being treated as domestic terrorists

Journalists need to stop anthropomorphizing LLMs immediately. They don't say, want, believe, or think anything. They create output that is statistically likely based on petabytes of stolen training data.

Mark this for the history books: “We’re talking about the president exercising his authority, and the president is of course limited to his authority. That’s the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” said Judge Charles Breyer.

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months.

The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

This is Labour's core problem here. The right will never allow Starmer a win on immigration because the issue is central to their appeal and therey' daren't lose it. So whatever he does will never be enough.

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice.

He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama.

It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.
