Pretty sure AP is funded by newspapers
If the police lose, you really lose
It’s not at all weird and very easy to explain. The BBC positions itself as an impartial reporter. Anything that appears to be a judgement call by someone else is (quite rightly) put into quotes.
In this case, I would have simply left out the words “innocent victim “ myself, as it’s a bit odd - but that is the rationale.
If your organisation is big enough to have a press office of more than 4 or 5 people, you will usually have an on-call rota.
Sentencing July 11 - delayed because the original date would clash with a court appearance in Florida
For me the headline was drowned out by the sound of Beavis and Butthead laughter

Not bad. Did the Ride London 60 on Sunday, pondering whether I should try the 100 next year. It went ok
However, the upside is that there are no bots, dark patterns, or manipulated feeds.
There’s a huge amount of incoming spam, much of it, I suspect posted by bots. I’ve also seen account posting ‘news’ from sites that are clearly AI generated
To be honest, it feels much more likely to see posts on the Fediverse with many upvotes, few or no comments

Hopefully the plughole is clogged with hair
Indeed. To be honest, I’d probably fall back on the old idea of filling the bath right up if the shit looked like it was about to hit the fan.
Yeh. I’m pretty comfortable with this broad mix.
I think that ‘resilience in depth’ is a reasonable idea. The NHS exists, but I still have a first aid kit at home.
In practice, I think it will be difficult fir a household to store 3 days drinking water.
