If it’s The Canary, I’d double-check it first. They have a tendency to publish incendiary claims with little regard for accuracy (i.e., their claim that the RAF was refuelling IDF bombers over Gaza).

The purpose of a system is what it does.

It looks like the hollow husk of UKIP left behind by Farage and his backers has turned into some equivalent of the BNP/EDL/that one Morrissey endorsed.

You love to see it.

They’re not getting the concessions Thatcher handbagged out of Delors. They join the EU on equal terms with other members. If they would prefer to stand proudly alone with their delusions of imperial grandeur and get pushed around by everyone else and eventually turned into a hollowed-out kleptostate run from Beijing, Riyadh, Mar-a-Lago and a dozen tax havens, then they can’t be helped. (Though if Scotland and Wales make a break for it, they should be welcomed into the EU on the standard terms.)

The UK can keep its emotional-support Sterling (well, as long as the złoty and the Danish and Swedish krona exist, but not a day longer), though Schengen should be non-negotiable. Then we can get cross-channel rail service that’s not just a link between a handful of security-hardened railports with queues that compare unfavourably with Stansted in peak holiday season.

In what way is she “goth”? She’s basically Daphne from Scooby-Doo.

Being able to set up personally hosted RSS feeds would be useful. If the feeds are fetched periodically, that could also allow archiving of accounts.

Or even if it could provide RSS feeds of accounts, for following in a RSS reader.

Though excellent work!

I can vouch for Mythic Beasts

Somebody ought to sit him down and explain the Mercator projection to him.

Maybe he could get the chatbot to play not only his girlfriend but their kids as well. Then he can beam proudly as he shows people a chat window on his phone. You do you, buddy!

A bit rude of him not to procure some boys for his honoured guest

I can visualise the flecks of saliva on his lips as he imagines the end of NATO and the subsumption of Europe into a Moscow-based authoritarian oligarchy run by his paymasters, and the dachas and yachts he could stand to buy when it happens.

And this somehow arrives at a highly refined piece of code rather than the software equivalent of Habsburg Jaw?

also the Euro and, if you’re in, you’re also in Schengen. No more precious hour-long security queues at any railway station having cross-Channel services because the English are special.

In the same way that their AWACS planes weren’t involved in helping the IDF bomb Gaza?

Surely when number goes up far enough, it magically gains sentience and godlike powers
