When I discover that a musician is associated with Trump I click “do not play this artist” on Spotify and do not buy tickets for festivals they are playing at.

I like to write, I also pride myself on strong grammar. The frustration I get from AI stealing traits such as the em-dash is endless. What used to be a sign of a good copy writer is now interpreted as somebody who's lazy and relies on AI to do their writing.

Although the UK seems to have experienced enshittification more quickly and more deeply than many other western nations, I can say with the authority of a man widely-travelled that we still have the best washing up liquid.

Reform UK accused of 'doing nothing' at Cornwall Council
Their leader says the accusations are 'absolute nonsense' over concerns that 'it's whoopee doo time for the administration because they're unopposed - they can vote anything through'

I've been told the "freelance pie advisor" is a famous chef who wrote a book about pies. I did not know. I also learned that he models for a friend's clothing store, Anglo Italian in London.

I've thought the Tories would go after IHT for a while - it's an obvious political choice given the voters they're targeting. But this is about the worse way to do it as it further gums up the housing market.

Find someone who loves you as much as Trump loves Putin
Trump: "Today is Vladimir Putin's birthday. I'm sure you're going to celebrate it. Are you going to celebrate his birthday? I have a call set up."
What the hell is wrong with you?! Celebrate? You sure? The birthday of a butcher responsible for murdering 25 people in Ukraine today?

The extent to which the rule "you are not allowed to insult the other side's voters" is applied exclusively to the left never ceases to infuriate me.
"Basket of deplorables" and "cling to guns or religion" were WEEKS-long news cycles.
There were panels.
There was theme music and a logo.

Public vulgarity and lewdness are Trump's signature on the campaign trail. These are well recognized as signs of advanced senile dementia.

Does very much feel like the Badenoch Tories are a busted flush.
Leader of party - that sold its own shrivelled soul to the devils of austerity and Brexit - will use her conference speech to slag off Labour (yawn) and make the only promise the Tories ever make - cutting taxes…
They have nothing new or credible… or just plain nice… to say any more.
