"Anyone who is still active on that site needs to ask themselves what in the name of God they think they’re doing." Quite so. Get off here & come join us on the other place. inews.co.uk/opinion/elon-mus…
Your occasional reminder that if you are pining for my content, then (1) ...what? are you ok?; and (2) I am now over at The Other Place, it's good now, you should join us.
*pops head round door*
seriously, The Other Place is actually good now, it's got me on it and everything. see you there?
*disappears again*
Not to be too old man about it but we could really do with the Emerge electronic music festival winding up for the night, it's keeping my kids awake and they're back to school in a couple of days. #doofdoofdoofdoof

My wife Karen has invented this genius device for removing bumble bees from the house. It’s basically a long stick with a bit of cloth on the end which she soaks in sugar water as needed. The bee will inevitably clamber on and is thus rescued/ejected into the garden.
I have to say, once you start to get comfortable over at "the other place", this hellsite does seem very very odd when you dip back in.
Strongly agree. Plus "the other place" (blue) has suddenly come to life recently. This website now mostly serves up conflict, drama and trolling. If that's what you want from social media, there's nowhere else like it, but you do have to ask yourself the question.

"This is the result". Philp is, strictly speaking, correct here. Starmer cancelled the Rwanda plan; boat arrivals continued at exactly the same rate as they have all year. The Rwanda plan was wildly expensive virtue-signalling tough-on-foreigners electioneering, not real policy.
Mmhmm. I'm sure this story is entirely motivated by concern for standards in governance, rather than - say - vendettas related to events of the last few years.

Jeez. I'm not an expert in governance, but this sounds... really really bad. Big questions to answer for Sunak and the Conservative Party here.
Thread. The main reason why the election was called when it was.
EXCL: Rishi Sunak warned by senior civil servants a week before he called election that he was at risk of breaching legal responsibilities if he failed to take action over prison overcrowding crisis, leaked document reveals. theguardian.com/society/arti…
"Only a matter of time". Maybe, maybe not; he's not even #1 currently. Let's see Alcaraz dominate the game from now to 2029 before we compare him to Federer; he's made an extraordinary start, but right now he's still got a long way to go. theguardian.com/sport/articl…
