OP decided to pick on boomers, not I. If you look at the bar graphs, this looks like a trend over time where the older you are, the more likely to vote against ECHR. I don't understand this, but blaming boomers is not logical. It might as well be exposure to microplastics.
It's his imagination and we're just lucky to be living in it.
Today's a good day to learn Colbert found a new job. Hope it's a good one for everybody! #HappyLaborDay
I hope there are some additional technical solutions that could be brought into play before resorting to paper maps ? like inertial navigation systems? ILS ? Shielding of GPS antennae so they only receive signals from *above* the aircraft ?
Most voters - 34 per cent - say 'none of the above' when asked which party is most trusted, however ➡️ Read more: trib.al/r5xEeJh
btw voted against Brexit, and time has only reinforced my view that was the right thing to do.
As a solid gold boomer, gradually getting accustomed to the casual discrimination and forced groupings into false collective identities by the generations that have come after me, I would be voting to keep the ECHR.
I've donated. The NHS is very dear to me, and I encourage others to support this cause.
Big Brother is infallible and all-powerful. Every success, every achievement, every victory, every scientific discovery, all knowledge, all wisdom, all happiness, all virtue, are held to issue directly from his leadership and inspiration.
The suspects' ski masks, lack of marked police vehicles, and absence of emergency lighting contradicted standard police protocol for serving warrants.
Pentagon has blocked Ukraine from using long-range missiles to strike inside Russia for months, limiting Kyiv’s options, - WSJ
Forgive us.
We'd better start up a manufacturing line for drones, then.
😶 *speechless*
I also live near a hotel housing asylum seekers. We've had an armed robbery on the village shop, another on a pub, a stolen car hit and run which killed a woman, an arson on an empty building, car thefts and a cannabis factory. And do you know how many of the perpetrators were asylum seekers? None.

I met him 40 years ago, when he was the keynote speaker at an internal IBM event in the UK. (Progress '85?) I was one of the techies setting up demos the night before, and he came along and had a meal with about a dozen of us. Lovely man, hell of a story teller with an incredible tale to tell. RIP
Well I never. Amazing how some things just stick in the mind. In my defence, the little twist of salt in original crisps was in blue waxed paper if I recall, so for me it’s natural to associate salt with blue, and the sea.
Cheese and Onion. In a GREEN packet.
and what is left for them to bomb?
This is all probably one of those novel cases where asking an AI to guess might yield more accurate figures than the Administration release in tthe future. But we will never know without any raw data.
So who believes EU came off worse in the tariff trade talks with Trump?
A terminally ill 73-year-old Israeli woman has been charged with plotting to restore democracy in Israel by assassinating the fascist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a rocket launcher.
Taking lessons from the Israelis in Gaza, and reorganising the rubble?
General Motors said on Tuesday that its profit in the second quarter fell by more than a third, after President Trump’s tariffs cost the company more than $1 billion.
This could get interesting. Almost like calling Trump's bluff on Europe taking more responsibility.
Vishwash Kumar Ramesh is treated with awe in India, but family say he is racked with guilt about the disaster that killed his brother and 240 others
They seem to be adopting a whole lot of Trump tactics. They will be promising everything to be fixed “in two weeks” soon.
He’s just stating the facts…

I lost a good job mid career, and for me there was not a moment of sadness, since the company I was forced to leave was not the company I had joined 27 years earlier. I suspect Stephen Colbert has the same view of CBS. Wonder what he will do now - and for whom?
Starmer could be a good choice for foreign secretary, if he would step aside for someone a bit more recognisably Labour to take the reins of the role of PM.
The moment Stephen Colbert said I don’t give a flying f**€k to Paramount and CBS.
It won't work on me, either - oh, look, a butterfly ...
Huge explosions were seen in Damascus as Israel bombed Syria’s defence ministry during a live Al Jazeera broadcast nearby.
I remember his voice so well.
He's doing it to hurt Tesla.
Please can we prioritize the needs of the real, living people over the artificially intelligent?

I had a call from a number in Latvia (do these scammers have no common sense?). I interrupted the spiel by asking if he was in Riga. (capital of Latvia) "You saying I am a (N-word)??" he said, angry. Then he slammed the phone down.
Even saying that I use a Mac kills most scam scripts dead. They're always so rude as well. No apology, no thank you, they just drop the phone.
Nothing to see here .. move along.
That the primary colors are blue, red and yellow.
The Georgia Republican announced plans for a new bill following the devastating floods which swept through central Texas on Friday.
Iran has affirmed its commitment to the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, as it accused Germany of "malice" over its criticism of Tehran's decision to suspend cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog. u.afp.com/Sfce
For the avoidance of doubt, I mean the government of Sir Keir's Labour Party.
I think the only idea that will save this government is the legalisation of the growth, distribution and consumption of cannabis. Now there's a new industry you can tax.
Change the definition of super-rich to, say, the top 250 wealthiest people - a league table. (They might turn their attention to eating each others' breakfasts and not ours, metaphorically) Then you tax just the super-rich, and see who tries to give away some of their wealth.
ALL of them.
How big is 400Kg of 60% Uranium Hexaflouride? Asking for a friend.
I am beginning to understand why having a large amount of 60% enriched Uranium Hexflouride currently "whereabouts unknown" might be of significant concern.
In other news, the new Pope has been found to be catholic.
I was thinking ... if the Ayatollah comes on TV and says "it's all been destroyed", then we would conclude it was largely intact. However, he's just come on TV and said the attacks made no impact at all - so I conclude their programme has been significantly hit.
On the one hand, dropping 14 bombs and only making 6 holes is extraordinary accuracy. On the other hand, 300 feet of natural rock along with a presumed shit-ton of concrete is formidable protection.
I'm shocked. Shocked!! www.cnn.com/2025/06/24/p...

AI is going to dominate this world since there is so little human competition.
8th Air Force motto has been Peace Through Strength since 1944.
Who was the "Do you understand that?" directed at? I was wondering if CNN was the target of that particular, IMHO undeserved barb.
"trip" being a good word to choose.
Israel hitting the site again? But Trump and Rubio both say it was obliterated. Are Israel just rearranging the rubble? www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...
Trump claims the site was obliterated? It might be - we can't see the damage underground - but by this measure, I obliterated the dining room wall putting up a shelf. www.cnn.com/2025/06/21/m...

Not in my name.
So the duplicitous fucks in the White House admit to planning this operation for "months and weeks" and keeping it secret from anyone (except Netanyahu). It wouldn't have mattered to what level the negotiations with Iran would have got to, this operation was programmed in to happen.
"Precision Strike" ... all of our bombs hit Iran.
What if the bunker buster bombs proved ineffective? Will the US decide to drop nukes?
There is no way back for the US. They are now a pariah nation.
"Iran have been attacked by two nuclear powers. It must be twice as neutral and disarm twice as much. Resisting just risks WW3 for us all" Noam Chomsky
You didn’t vote for Kamala because you thought she was a warmonger and you spread that message to others. How you all holding up tonight?
Hey Chuck Schumer… Is Trump bombing Iran without congressional approval enough for you or are you still waiting for Trump’s approval rating to drop? www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...
She should do a fizzy one as well - they could call it Markle Sparkle.
www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
Evacuate to where? Going to establish some safe area like they did in Gaza, before targeting that as well? Is Trump going to deploy US aircraft to drop bunker buster bombs?
Why is the water consumed by data centres? I can understand water being directed through data centre cooling facilitiies, but why is it then lost? Can't they do something better than evaporators to cool machines?
It’s time to remove Trump! Repost if you agree!
He was born on the wrong side of history, and is determined to stay there forever.
Comprehensive new research finds the BBC coverage of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza is systematically biased against Palestinians and fails to reach standards of impartiality.
Contrast with the Trooping of the Colour in London yesterday. Now there was pomp, and majesty, and a Real King.
But Reagan wanted SDI in 1983, so this seems to be cyclic? Presidents think they can protect their country with an exotic bit of technology which only serves to disrupt the détente. Though Ronald did begin the discussions about the START Treaty at about the same time; maybe SDI was an encouragement.
If the US spend billions on Golden Dome, won't the other side just design a weapon that avoids going into space? Like an autonomous, kamikaze, submarine, loitering drone with a nuke on board, and sail it up the Potomac?
Utter madness. Where is Congress? The Judiciary?
I would just like to report that "Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space"-Douglas Adams. 🔭 🧪
It seemed to have its undercarriage still down - which I would think was unusual a minute into a flight.
Wikipedia wanted to use AI summaries at the top of article pages. Editors said please please don't www.404media.co/wikipedia-pa...
Shocked at the news from India of the air crash this morning. My thoughts go out to the families of those who have lost their lives, both from the aircraft and on the ground.
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Chris Murphy says Trump’s chaos in L.A. is a distraction to hide the fact Trump is stealing from us. “Trump spends all his time at Mar-a-Lago. There are no regular people there…just billionaires…He doesn’t give a shit about the rest of us. He never has.”
As long as we will be able to vote with the bloody thing.
AGI is not as easy as throwing a huge array of compute nodes at it, is it? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Really, JD?
Baton rounds are not intended for use at close quarters like that. People have died from being struck by these things. (see "Death, injury and disability from kinetic impact projectiles in crowd-control settings" from the BMJ) For what ? Being a journalist ? Were they reporting from LA or Gaza?
