Ahh, but Labour identified its embedded fanatics and drove them all out along with nasty, unelectable magic grandpa. Now the party is only sensible, rational people who know how to win elections.

The people at CBECI were kind enough to send me a copy of their updated Bitcoin power consumption data

At the end of 2024, Bitcoin's total consumption for 2024 *did* end up matching that of Pakistan. 2024 saw the biggest jump in power consumption ever. Absolutely wild stuff ->

Yeah, but the real James Bond turned out to be David Shayler (now Delores Kane). No disrespect but I could just about see Gervais playing them.

That's where I started. Just do a little bit every day. No goals, no pushing yourself.

To be fair, the Red Army recovered after Stalin's purges, though it did cost them years of horror and millions of extra deaths.

If this is true, it really is mind-bendingly stupid (in addition to being evil). So, entirely true to form for the Trump gang.

Don't these people know that impersonating an English Heritage official is a very, very serious crime?

I think probably the one misconception that bothers me about bike lanes is that people assume they are for those who bike...when really they are for those who are too scared to bike.

Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja): This 86cm (34in) species of Ibis is native to South America, Caribbean, Central America, Mexico and the southern gulf states in the US. They feed on crustaceans, aquatic insects, frogs & newts. Fantastic image taken by Prashant Gharpure in Florida, USA. #spoonbill

He's a lot fatter than Kim II was, and has been since he was young. On the other hand, he probably has access to better medical care.

Clean Up Britain? So that's Baroness Warsi, some rugby chap, and a bloke who used to do PR for the CIA.

There is, of course, no overlap at all between the skills required of a politician and the skills required of a very senior lawyer.

Australian tropical rainforest trees switch in world first from carbon sink to emissions source Researchers say carbon emissions change in Queensland tropical rainforests may have global climate implications

This research paper is the first time that a tipping point of a switch from a carbon sink to a carbon emission source in tropical rainforests has been identified clearly โ€“ not just for one year but for the last 20 years. Cause is a change in the local climate. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Blowing smoke up his arse was the correct way in his first term. He didn't feel absolutely invulnerable and he had a few vaguely competent people advising him.
Now, the shackles are off and all his people are idiotic scum. There are no limits, no trust, no reciprocation. Just tell him to get fucked.

If I was worried about my family being threatened, I would simply refrain from racist harassment, beatings, kidnapping and murder. It's not hard.

They should at least be clearly displaying individual identity numbers. That's a standard part of any real law enforcement uniform.

Morocco has very close relationships with its European neighbours. If it has to pick sides. It won't be picking Dumbfuckistan.
