Your regular reminder that almost everything Trump is getting away with is not because of presidential strength, but because of congressional weakness and judicial deference. The constitutional tools are already there to fix this, but those who can fix it are refusing to do so.

Can't help but feel bungie marathon won't find success. Incredible niche genre. Risky gamble doing an extraction shooter. And barrier to entry with a fee to play. I'm not convinced it going have legs. Can see it going free to play in 6 months.

I hope game companies realize that if we don’t actually own games, we can’t steal them either so piracy is valid and okay.

The UK exports £360bn of goods to the EU, on which we now struggle with big non tariff barriers, compared to £60bn to the US. Imagine looking at this sh1tshow and thinking it vindicates Brexit in any way.

Looking forward to newspaper headlines about trump doing tariffs on highly important and strategic chagos islands. How the UK must have a strong response due attacking UK sovereignty. Looking forward to right wing "conservative" papers printing that lol

Not sure if people have noticed it yet. British Indian Ocean territory is US / UK base often called chagos islands. You know significant strategic base people are upset about UK handing back. I'm sure they going be outraged at tariffs being applied to it. *Laughing

George Lucas made a movie about trade wars, death of democratic norms and authoritarian rule. Feels oddly inspired by modern day events now. #tradewar this dumbest trade war in history. Time to deal with online radicalisation, that means destroying businesses models of big tech.

If only someone had explained why it was in the United States' interests to accept this deal - by looking at the actual detail. Oh, somebody did. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/law/68...

There’s something joyously comic about Kemi Badenoch, a politician being radicalised on social media before our eyes, saying that Adolescence is not “the biggest thing that is happening in the world today” in terms of radicalisation on social media.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Lightbulb moment this morning, my experience playing RTS games. Production matters in terms of winning a war. It why so many countries have lost wars not only reason why. Got me thinking Europe needs more production and secure supply chains. See video games are useful!! And history.

Disappointed that a British groupchat scandal is like ‘a Tory MP you have never heard of was quite rude to another one you’ve never heard of on WhatsApp’ but the Yanks are just straight up ‘texted WW3 plans to random journo’. Do better, British security liabilities.

Update on lighting and textures for Minecraft looks good. I'm surprised they are updating something so core. #minecraft

Minecraft has announced its Vibrant Visuals update - an impressive visual upgrade with directional lighting, shaders, shadows, reflections, etc. No cynicism here - a very effective way at modernising its graphics while retaining its style. (Read more: Minecraft blog)

Obvious point £5 billion in theoretical savings that can be wiped out with a bad forecast is awful. Labour making a gamble here it labour market reforms magic good paying jobs and growth means a lower bill. Even by it own estimate the above ain't happening. Green paper short term thinking.

Given what can actually get approved by US military lawyers - torture in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo for example - one can imagine what horrors reducing the role of military lawyers will lead to.
