society needs to regain the confidence to just call someone a nonce/wrong-un when it's fairly clear to any normal person that that's what they are - sure, you might get the odd false positive but that's better than ignoring these people in plain sight 🧐

Apparently there’s a lady named Dana White who is an DoD public affairs assistant and I guarantee you someone recommended her to Trump and he thought they meant UFC Dana White and nobody is allowed to correct him lol

found the 2005 email - unclear whether the asterisks were mine or added by the kind man at the helpdesk - but either way, games absolutely gone when you can't do a bit of libel on a public forum

mixed emotions on the betfair forum - was incredible at a time but then I got banned for calling Martin Pipe a cheat (think I'd laid a couple of those David Johnson duck egg 6/4 fav goes, poss at the Nov meeting) - was fully justified but got a lifetime ban - get less for murder!

[Sky News @SkyNews]

In a first-of-its-kind mission, the UK is to clear up rubbish in space that could threaten GPS and weather forecasting services.

The Active Debris Removal mission is being launched to remove the satellites and release them into the lower atmosphere, where they will naturally burn up.

.@KyleSamani, Chairman of Forward Industries (@FWDind) said finance has spent 30 years trapped in its own little bubble, and the prediction markets are about to break it open.

“A huge amount of media around the world is fundamentally about something that may or may not happen in the future.”

He predicts that putting a live probability widget with a buy and sell button inside every article on any subject will solve media’s monetization problem and reshape the internet along the way.

Kemi Badenoch wants to exempt the family home from inheritance tax.

But that creates a perverse incentive for elderly people to *upsize* to save IHT.

That could double the cost of the policy, and push £100bn+ from savings into housing.
