Read this sample page and ask yourself: "Would I want to have *anything* to do with a company with this sort of culture?" and "Would I want to be a user of products of a company like this?" #Facebook #Instagram #WhatsApp
My favourite bit from this week's Pecksniff's Diary was right at the end. Hat tip to Andrew Jones @arj2024.bsky.social
Here's my prediction for Trump's next move to humiliate his cabinet members. Remember the over-sized shoes they all took to wearing? He'll present them each with an ill-fitting wig that they're "encouraged" to wear to distract attention from his new weave.
USAF KC-135 tanker drawing patterns in the skies of North Wales. At least while it's doing that it isn't facilitating the bombing of civilians in #Iran.
Here's a photo of one of #TheLanyardClass . Bears a striking resemblance to one #BaronessFoxOfBuckley.
Why does he need to hide? Oh! english.mathrubhumi.com/news/world/k...

Has anyone heard a response from UK Deputy Prime Minster #DavidLammy to the interference in UK domestic affairs by his great friend and US VP #JDVance ?

I can't help thinking this would be a more appropriate photo to represent the current US leadership:
Did you see how the Mail chose to illustrate the result of its Rejoin poll in a misleading way? A bar chart on which a value of 84% was shown as taking up less than ~50% of the scale! I shouldn't be surprised.
"Manchester City *defeats* Arsenal..." What's wrong with that headline on the Independent website? www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/spo...
Dally Mail here engaging in what it does best. The result of its poll on whether the UK should rejoin the EU was 84% for YES. So what does the Mail do? It shows the result as a bar chart, with the YES vote illustrated as, at best, 50%! Desperate stuff!

My local branch of #Aldi appears to be promoting a price rise ....is this usual?

This is odd because today (Friday) a couple of B52Hs transited French airspace with transponders on from RAF Fairford UK en route to the ME (shown SE of Sicily).
I'm not sure that the families of the six US military personnel killed in Kuwait in #OperationEpsteinShield will agree that they've made "a little bit of sacrifice".
@theobserveruk.bsky.social Someone forgot to replace the dummy text in the caption for the photo in today's Sports section of the print edition. Raised a smile, which is more than the fixture did! #WalvFRA
