Talk about issues that affect the working class. Not the white working class, not working class men, just everyone who makes a living by drawing a wage. Progressive movements are formed by solidarity, and we have more in common with other working class people than any of the politicians or business leaders who set the tone of this debate.

I've seen several dating profiles where they express their racial preferences so not much has changed here.

It should be pointed out that (according to exit polls) 80% of Black voters voted for Harris. I've heard so many people blaming them for Trump, but they're not the problem here.

This isn't entirely true - someone calculated that, on a good year, a peasant could only work 150 days a year towards the rent of their own farmland. Then they have to actually work that land, take care of their animals, and manually do basically every industrial process we take for granted to get food in their belly. They didn't work 150 days a year then go off with a cheque that will sort them out for the rest of the year.

If this NHS data is properly anonymised, why not open it to everyone instead of just select "researchers and innovators"? (And how do I know that "researchers and innovators" just means Microsoft and Google?)

This just seems like a multi billion pound gift to US tech companies. We're still effectively in austerity and this is what they're spending money on.

He could give the money in the form of Amazon stock, or if he doesn't want to dilute his ownership he could get a loan backed by his assets. The same way he does things like buying the biggest yacht in the world or hiring Venice for a wedding.

We've had some bad PMs lately but Cameron is still the worst since Thatcher. Austerity, Brexit, demonisation of disabled people, bombing Libya and creating the biggest refugee crisis of our time, it's all down to this cunt. And centrists like to say "the Tories were fine until Johnson and Truss messed it all up".

Imagine being the guy in Shin Bet who has to draw a hoax children's drawing, leaving the office to buy crayons.

How do you block them? I keep pressing "show fewer shorts" but they keep popping up and I can't find an option to block them entirely.

I think part of it is not wanting to be mugged off. Even though it doesn't materially affect you, having someone come in everyday and nick stuff in front of you would probably wear you down. No excuse for violence of course but I can see how it comes to this.

"UK pornography task force"

We've been spending much more per capita in the NHS in recent years than we used to. Part of that is the aging population and Covid, but a big part is probably the increase in privatisation. Paying agency workers to fill up chronic staffing shortages etc

But I thought LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder?!

Actually I never got that. WINE isn't an emulator, but LAME very much is an MP3 encoder

Tablecloth checks out.

To steal a tip from JB Smoove - walk around with one shoelace untied. Someone will notice.

"Hey, your shoelace is untied"

"Oh, thanks"

Ice: broken

Is it that controversial? Kids run around naked all the time. The idea of this bike ride is that people can be naked just for the hell of it, without being sexually objectified. Banning kids from it would fly in the face of that.

When that 10-year-old grows up I imagine they'll be quite proud that they made a bunch of stuffy town councillors bust a blood vessel just by riding a bike around naked.

This doesn't absolve Brexit, and I feel Liz Truss is a very convenient scapegoat for a Tory party who has been in power for 13 years.

Looking forward to the next issue of Private Eye, I bet they'll be able to get the inside story on what happened here.

And this is why you can't buy a copy of the Sun anywhere on the moon.

Vance faced an onslaught of bad press, as many commentators—including Harris’ step-daughter, Taylor Swift fans, Democratic officials, actor Jennifer Aniston, and several conservative women pundits—decried his comment.

My reading comprehension must be pretty bad because for a second it sounded like Taylor Swift was Kamala Harris' step daughter.
