BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

I wasnt being serious. I know you have a wind up radio, that you melt snow on the jotul and use a bed pan if it's too cold to go to the out house.

Sky News on YouTube looks moderately informative.

Apologies. My automatic FA 'wit' scanner goes offline at 21h00 CET, after which I rely on emojis for manual identification.

Will have a look and see if there's anything there viewable retrospectively to feed my disaster-lust.

If confirmed, this would be hard to walk back. "No, actually we've decided that creating and disseminating child porn is acceptable after all."

There's an internet blackout in Iran. Hmmmmm.

I've just had an automated alert on my phone about the weather. I've had to email Cornwall council and explain I died three hours ago when the storm hit.

Are you going by bike, and if so, with more than one vitesse?
Changed my mind because of the uncertainties, so yes and yes.

Musk probably assumed the controversy was that he wasn't monetising it. That's also the thinking behind Trump saying he doesn't need international law, just his own morality.

Sounds good to me. (From a piece in the Independent.)

It's easy to laugh at The Daily Telegraph, but...

but...

Oh, let's just say it's easy to laugh at The Daily Telegraph, and leave it at that.

I don't see the issue. Speed bumps are certainly progressive, because it hardly slows slow people down, but takes the suspension out of a Ferrari at 40mph.

Hold on, I've found some footage of socialist speed bumps...

I thought they all had luxury 4x4s. Even the bicycles have big tyres these days.

Ah, well, if you drove those too fast over a speed bump, it will spill the oat milk puppachino all over the Prada bag in the passenger seat. And Twinkles won't have her treat.

This would be a smart move: a co-ordinated action over the production and publication of illegal child abuse imagery. Apparently Canada and Australia are in the discussions.

I've noted elsewhere that Musk is right, it would be censorship: censoring anything should have a high bar, but it *is* a tool that should be used as a last resort. Musk would like a world where there is no state control whatsoever over what's published or what people see & hear. The only control would be the oligarchs' and Trump's 'morality'.
