A traditional Irish breakfast. Two sausages, bacon, white pudding, black pudding, fried mushrooms, a fried egg, a grilled tomato and a hash brown on a plate with a ramekin of baked beans. On a separate plate, slices of buttered toast.
A large poster on the side of a building. It depicts Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people in the world, with the large caption: "If you can send Katy Perry into space you can pay more tax. Amazon avoided £433 million in UK tax in 2023. Just tax billionaires."

Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”. And sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”. And they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

The BBC's news output across live channels (e.g. BBC News Channel), discussion programmes (e.g. Newsnight) and published articles (e.g. BBC News Online) has a demonstrable and blatant bias towards coverage of a minority extremist political group, Reform. Independent studies have demonstrated their their spokesman, Nigel Farage, has received more hours/lines of coverage on the BBC than any other individual in British politics in recent months. Even when Farage and Reform are not involved in stories, the BBC actively seeks out their opinions or makes comparisons to them, creating the impression that Reform and Farage are a touchstone against which other political stances can – and, indeed, absolutely must – be compared. Equally, stories that should reflect poorly on Farage and Reform tend to avoid making the association, the BBC shrugging off it’s responsibility of holding them accountable for the many consequences of their actions. Recently, the BBC broadcast a ninety minute speech by Farage which independent fact-checkers have demonstrated to be almost exclusively lies, that senior police officials have branded as 'dangerous', and human rights advocates have called 'terrifying', but this live coverage was provided unfiltered and unchallenged on the BBC's flagship news channel. Meanwhile, similar speeches given by the leaders of the Scottish National Party, Liberal Democrats, Paid Cymru, the Conservatives, Your Party and, indeed, by the Prime Minister himself have not even received a mention. The bias is blatant, yet rather than counter or even try to deny it, senior BBC staff have openly and gleefully confirmed that Reform, Farage and their allies receive disproportionately large coverage and have their words go unchallenged due to their presence in the public conversation, disingenuously and dangerously ignoring that the BBC - arguably more than any other organisation - guides that conversation. It is well past time the BBC acted like the PSB it is meant to be.

An edited version of the "Myth of Consensual Sex" meme. In the original, a man and woman both say "I consent" while a depiction of Jesus, off to the side, says, "I don't!". Beneath the caption says "Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask?" In this case, the man and woman have been labelled with the UK and EU flags, and Jesus' face has been replaced by Rupert Murdoch's.

Cueball here has a bright green crazy straw.] Cueball: The thing to understand about the plastic crazy straw design world is that there are two main camps: The professionals - designing for established brands - and the hobbyists. The hobbyist mailing lists are full of drama, with friction between the regulars and a splinter group focused on loops... [Caption below the panel:] Human subcultures are nested fractally.
