Bots and shills, sure. But Russian bots? How come?

It's not so much that conservatives are stupid, more that stupid people are conservative. This is why they keep winning.

special mention to Richard Herring, who I think has the longest-running daily updated blog on the Internet - he's written every day for like... 15+ years now. The blog has moved to substack recently though

I like Ecosophia.net - an occultist writes about all kinds of stuff

craigmurray.org.uk - an ex ambassador explains domestic and international politics with an insiders view.

and the blog at disappointment.com - sadly he only posts once every couple of years nowadays, but it's just... very silly, often very gay humour.

Mr Prestege; History, P.E. and for one year, form tutor. Mainly he was funny, watched all the same comedy shows as me so we had little references and in-jokes nobody else got.

His history fact sheets were great too - he drew little comic strips and characters with speech bubbles. Made revising entertaining, a bit like the Horrible Histories books.

Dunno if this counts, but once upon a time loyalty cards were a thing - buy a product, get a stamp, and get a free product on your 10th stamp. Nowadays it's all apps, and they all say they'll provide data to third parties. Consequently I haven't had a free coffee/bagel/beer or whatever since lockdown. Anyway, I'm off to yell at a cloud, ttfn

Ok that is really useful context, thank you

What's Ukraine got to do with the UK though?

Obvs I'm against war in principle, but why are we even involved in something several thousand miles away that doesn't border us or even the Commonwealth?

This is what I do. I have an Nvidia Shield, which does show ads on its default interface, but you can install new ones (or root the device if you're techy enough). TV itself has never been connected

They definitely say that...
