Elon is unbanning Alex Jones even though he already said he has no mercy for anyone who'd use dead children for gain, but to be fair to him the story he told about his dead child to back that policy was a lie according to his ex wife, so it's not something he actually believed

If you want a prime example of how low down the food chain, how inconvenient we are, then look at the Government post of the minister for Disabled people.
It’s vacant.
All other posts filled.
The lack of a representative to 14 million people tells me, “you’re irrelevant”

The cowardice checklist, roughly in order: It's none of our business. It's not a big deal. It's too expensive. We have domestic priorities. It would be very difficult. It's unfortunate. We're deeply concerned. There was nothing we could do. It's the opposition's fault.
Unless Congress reverses course, and soon, on aid to Ukraine, it could be consigning our democratic allies to slaughter — and making the world a far more dangerous place. wapo.st/46QYdTx

Battlestar Galactica (2003) started 20 years ago TODAY.
And it all began with this opening scene.
Somehow, the Cylons had a plan.

Voyager's "Year of Hell" was a disappointment. When they foreshadowed it in an an earlier episode, I was all ready for a season-long story. When it finally arrived it was a two parter that ended up never happening.

I'm too busy working on the last PM's misconduct, to deal with the current one going full fascist dictator on Rwanda, with this "I'm one of the good ones" xenophobic crap...
But for now I'll say this:
Rishi Sunak is just a shit person.
The SEPARATION of powers is the most basic principle of any real democracy:
Executive (government)
Judiciary (Courts)
Legislature (Parliament).
It's bad enough that the UK's system gives one party total control over both Parliament and government..
But for the Executive to pass laws dictating the FACTS on which the Supreme Court makes its decisions... WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY!

Slightly bizarre end to Boris Johnson’s evidence at the Covid Inquiry as he sums up by making some recommendations as to how its proceedings might be improved, by looking at Covid’s origins-
Lady Hallitt, on dry form: “Mr Johnson, you set my terms of reference.”
My maths isn't great but I'm pretty sure this was about 85+ hours spent listening to @robhalden and @WillPreston on the BEST podcast I listened to all time, all my my life. And this was just the free stuff. Their Patreon content is awesome too.

Whenever a Tory says “we’ll do whatever it takes to stop the boats”😭😭😭
Just remember, the one thing they won’t do is give asylum seekers a safe, regulated alternative way to cross from France to the UK.
That’s the real lie from Jenrick, Braverman, Sunak, the lot of them.

I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General.
Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.

BREAKING: Rwanda government threatens to pull out of the deal if it does not adhere to international law.
Hugely problematic - and potentially humiliating - for govt if its partner country decides the deal is too toxic.

Jenrick resigning because the Rwanda bill doesn't go far enough is like Rose West divorcing Fred because he's not murdering enough lodgers.

Johnson accidentally deleted 5000 WhatsApp messages, Hunt forgot he owned seven flats, Rees-Mogg inadvertently took a £6m loan, Villiers didn't recall owning £70k of Shell shares and Sunak overlooked his wife's stake in a childcare company. String of rotten luck there, guys.

"It looks as though it's something to do with the app going down and then, um, coming up again. But, somehow, automatically, um, erasing all the things between that date when it down and when it was last backed up."

When Predator 2 came out, I didn't have one damn bad thing to say about it! It's an excellent, thrilling, fun movie! I never understood people that didn't like it.
