The Brexit Party is a radioactive cess-pit of a party isn’t it?

The Superjet has had a perfectly reasonable safety record until now. This is the third hull loss since it first flew with about 150 in service. The prototype crashed on a demonstration flight when the terrain avoidance system was ignored by the pilot. A second plane was lost when its landing gear collapsed during an…

‘Avoid military-style clothing, especially in less developed countries. It doesn’t make you tacti-cool, it makes you a potential soldier.’

Oh my - I hadn’t thought about the Atari 2600 game from Parker Brothers for - a long time! Over here in the UK, licensing be damned, it got remade by Llamasoft for the Atari 8 bit computers and the Commodore 64 as ‘Attack of the Mutant Camels’ and the epic ‘Revenge of the Mutant Camels’.

Wow! That’s quite something - but is it wrong if I say I prefer the things that came afterwards?

Oh wow! what a gorgeous monster - it looks like it should be lurking in front of an art-deco skyscraper in a Captain America movie. For those of us in the UK, it’s hard to comprehend just how big American locomotives are - partly its a combination of them actually being colossal, but also US stations have much lower…

Was it just me who was sad that in all the discussion of different time travel capers not one of our Marvel heroes mentioned Doctor Who?

Lachlan Murdoch runs Sky News Australia which has (re)imported most of Fox News awfulness Down Under. It regularly runs race-baiting, white supremacists as part of their Sky After Dark horror show and has plenty of links to the far right of the Liberal Party (don’t ask) and the even further right One Nation nutters:

Yep, input validation and date/times cause a disproportionate number of screwups in software. 

It’d be fascinating to morph Ivanka through Lara to Ann Coulter and on to Kellyanne Conway.

He thinks it has something to do with Marvel comics.

Plans are afoot for something a bit bigger...

Has he mentioned he will be gracing the UK with a state visit in June?

There’s a searchable and annotatable version of the report over at Muckrock. They’re looking for people to go through it and find stuff that might be the subject of future disclosure requests:

Lime has just arrived with dockless e-bikes in the UK and the problems have crossed the pond. Their users are dumping them all over our city - blocking paths, leaving them in parking spaces, abandoning them in gardens - you name it. Between them and the little Starship delivery robots scuttling around the place,…

Clearly they’ve been listening to all the complaints about the hideous styling of the front of the Lexus, have thought long and hard and set to work designing a back end just as horrible.

‘they’ve come out heavily in favour of Shamima Begum’s right to Legal Aid (this is monetary aid for those in little income to access representation) to appeal having her citizenship revoked’

Is this the car Count Olaf drives in Netflix’s A Series of Unfortunate Events? I don’t normally go for American cars of that era - but this is magnificently menacing and ludicrously proportioned. I really, really want one, but I am sure it would never fit on a road in the UK let alone go around our corners.

Bloom County is here to help. After being hit by a falling anchor, Donald Trump’s brain has been reanimated in the body of a long-dead, cloned Communist cat (it’s complicated):

You just know he’s going to agitate Republicans to name a state after him - something like Washington DC can have statehood but on one condition...
