An amazing cast for just one episode of Poker Face. and this: Noreen: Then I did a stint as managing editor at Vague before retiring. Charlie: Oh, Vogue, I mean that’s a big deal. Noreen: No, no. Vague magazine, different publication. Charlie: What’s that one about? Noreen: This and that. #TV

So the Tories are voting against (deliberately setting conditions that can't be met). The Bill is on track to be defeated without concessions.

Starmer’s strategy of talking rubbish isn’t working on his MPs any more. People are in no way “trapped in” PIP - it pays towards the additional costs of disability, whether you’re working or not - but ppl will be trapped in poverty & forced to give up work/participation in community, without it.

I seem to remember my son's "signing on" process took about 2 years, a massive paper form + supporting documents, an interview, a refusal, a "mandatory reconsideration", another refusal, and - finally - a positive tribunal outcome. PIP is already designed to exclude and hope people don't appeal

You'll have to wait to see the film on the move, but one of the things I am particularly proud about on ROGUE TROOPER is that it FEELS like @2000ad.bsky.social. It's like a beautiful painted comic brought to life. Also worth remembering... This is not a studio film. It's a British Indie!

🚨NEW: Erez Reuveni, the DOJ lawyer fired for his honesty in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, sends Congress a whistleblower letter detailing lawlessness at the DOJ around the CECOT deportations. He says Emil Bove told the DOJ to respond to likely court orders blocking flights with "fuck you."

WATCH: “He was cutting grass.” Soboroff & Wallace on the sickening beating of the father of 3 Marines, and how @joerogan says he wouldn’t have signed up if he had know it would be like this, “tearing the fabric of the community”. (But he should have known)

The second point here about sustainability is at least arguable. But PIP does not trap people. In many cases it allows them to work. It's just totally disingenous.

Interesting to see that Cameron Woki's Red card (from England A vs France A) has been struck off, as the Independent Disciplinary Committee decided Woki's action didn't constitute a high degree of danger. www.world.rugby/news/1000848...

Heard from a few people that a lot of PPSs are getting edgy too. Whips are refusing slips so being forced into a decision (unless there are concessions).

I remember saying on X that doing this on the two child limit rebels was a bad idea because the whips had ramped up to 100% straight away and left themselves nowhere to go for a bigger rebellion.

You’d think someone might ask why distributing aid in Gaza has proceeded like the opening twenty minutes of Saving Private Ryan, every day, for weeks. Is it normal to fire machine guns at starving civilians trying to collect flour? Because we are currently at one, two or three massacres per day.

Pre- Musk I used third party apps for Twitter and my timeline was exactly as it is here, algorithm free, hand made with my own curiosity.

submitted 18 hours ago • 0 comments

The lack of algorithm on Bluesky tells me that we were fools to accept it elsewhere. We all now talk about how Musk uses it to suppress dissent on twitter, but he hardly invented it. Letting someone else set parameters for what you see is maybe the most poisonous thing that social media normalised.

At the moment it feels like one for Trump, one against; giving themselves some cover against accusations of complicity.

particularly puzzling given that some of the people the administration removed to a third country in defiance of a court order were taken to CECOT. they are sitting there right alongside men who were taken there under the Alien Enemies Act.

For both the FIFA World Cup and LA 2028, I would say the advice would have to be: don’t go. This also holds true for academic conferences.

Just to put this in a public place so it can be linked to in the future; I actually went to the trouble of asking Natural England if they had ever said "no bat death is acceptable" or anything of similar meaning and this was their reply:

RIP Sgt Mohammed Hussain, who died on Friday aged 100. Born in Rawalpindi in pre-partition India, he joined the Army aged sixteen in 1941, fighting in Italy from 1943-45, and later settling in Berkshire where he marked his 100th birthday last month.
