"The hidden life of Camila Batmanghelidjh: why was her exoneration so widely ignored?"
Because for the most part we're grey, and don't like to see colourful people succeed.

Warum macht der Bauernverband sich laut seinem Präsidenten Rukwied keine Sorgen "von rechts außen unterwandert zu werden"?
Weil diese Bauernverbände, diese Brutstätten des #Mistgabelmobs bereits selbst rechts außen sind.
Dieses Plakat wurde ungehindert auf den heutigen Bauernprotesten gezeigt:

I see that, following Ed Davey, former LibDem cabinet minister Vince Cable is pleading ignorance of the Post Office Horizon scandal. He claims the issue did not receive sufficient media coverage for it to register on the political agenda.
That is complete bollocks. Private Eye for one was banging the drum continuously for the sub-postmasters, and did a huge amount of investigative journalism throughout. We are talking here of an illustrious organ read by pretty much everyone in the English political establishment. Call it the Oh-fuck-am-I-in-it-this-week? effect.

"Conservatives face ‘obliteration’ as UK in worse state than 2010, Tory MP says"
Keep up the good work, Danny boy.
RIP Roy Calne, surgeon.
May his memory, and the many lives he saved, be a blessing.

It is essential to stop using Chrome.
Under the pretense of saving users from third-party spyware, Google is creating an ecosystem in which Chrome itself is the spyware.
Given Google's overwhelming presence in the browser market, this is unconscionable.
We should all despise the ad-tech business, and have no sympathy for the companies getting whacked by Google's actions. But we should not permit one monopolist to replace them all.

News that UK government is set to approve plans for Drax power station to burn wood with 'carbon capture'. The climate claims of this technology have been widely debunked and it will cost taxpayers well over a million pounds EACH DAY in subsidies.

“exit from EU all about moments like this.” says #Brexit MP Kevin Hollinrake, can you believe it, he's talking about pint bottles. The UK plummets, investment, NHS, environment, science, economy, etc all ripped apart by these Brexit Tories. Plus one of the most unequal societies in the world. https://rb.gy/eamk5e #RejoinEU #SunakOut #ToriesOut #StandWithUkraine

On 7 January 1610, Galileo wrote a letter containing the first mention of Jupiter's moons. At the time, he saw only three of them, and he believed them to be fixed stars near Jupiter. He continued to observe these celestial orbs from 8 January to 2 March 1610. In these observations, he discovered a fourth body, and also observed that the four were not fixed stars, but rather were orbiting Jupiter. via @wikipedia
Stewart Lee on James Cleverly, who liked him a lot better when he was funny...
"...perhaps still bearing a grudge from the time when, after a gig at Ealing College of Higher Education in 1990, I declined to sign his cock with marker pen."
