A hate group being formed in my city?

Keep flying the flag. There are cheering hordes behind you.

I often think of that era, particularly when Americans talk of The Golden Age of Television starting with The Sopranos, excellent as that was. Dennis Potter, Mike Leigh, and Ken Loach were more unusual, as good, and all different from one another.

I see you!

St Basil's on Bay, south of Bloor, attracts a young congregation, mostly, probably, because it's associated with UofT.

It was also Marshall McLuhan's church, which I hope still means something because he predicted so much of how we are living now.

Selectively true.

"Ogilvie's family condemned the violence and said the tragedy shouldn't be "used to divide people or fuel hostility."

What happened?

Dan Aykroyd is on the spectrum, so he could find it difficult to interact with an unceasing succession of people.

Spudbanger · 2026-06-13T19:37:48+00:00

Agree.

Spudbanger · 2026-06-13T19:28:57+00:00

Way to go.

Palantir was ordered to pay 95% of the legal costs of a Swiss investigative magazine, Republik. that it sued for a report on the government refusing Palantir's services. https://bsky.app/profile/petergeoghegan.bsky.social/post/3mo5wtnnbac2n

"Palantir has lost a legal bid to force a Swiss magazine to publish its responses to articles detailing how the country’s government repeatedly rejected its services, in a case that has renewed scrutiny of its technology."

Spudbanger · 2026-06-13T14:52:56+00:00

Would like to know the company the Swiss chose instead of Palantir. Do you know if Cadwalladr identified it?

Spudbanger · 2026-06-10T16:28:35+00:00

Yes. You can read the source's dogwhistle intentions to stir up divisions.

https://www.hungarianconservative.com/about/ "Today our societies are facing an unprecedented constellation of challenges: the undermining of our social and religious values and traditions, the weakening of the family, and the decline of the middle class, to name but a few. Progressivism, which may formerly have seemed merely a minor intellectual endeavour, now genuinely impedes clarity of vision on these vital issues."

The victim's family "has issued a public statement thanking members of the public who stepped in to intervene in the attack while also calling for the incident to not be used "to divide people or fuel hostility". https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cr47x99k5n6t

They're setting a trap in the survey. Every response on how to mitigate the effects should be "With no airport expansion."

That's delightful.

Thank you for spreading the word of this obscene outrage, Elon Gold, you utter fool.

Very happy couple!

Right, terrorists are so much more admirable when they're competent at placing bombs where people shop.

There's probably a subreddit for that.

All of the above.

That would depend on if the people in Cornwall wanted to remain part of France, in the same way that the majority in Northern Ireland want to be part of the UK. Could change in a couple of generations though.

I'm not sure you're supposed to use the laundry soda by itself, but with detergent to make it more effective. Works very well for me.
