I think about how when they sang La Marseillaise they were still in the midst of a war they did not know they were going to win.

Happy Valentine's Day, comic lovers!

There was a protest outside the RNLI today and I would post the 'there are dozens of us' meme but that would be to overstate the case somewhat

DHS has entered a shutdown following expiration of funding. With Congress scheduled to go into recess, the shutdown could last for weeks. A majority of DHS employees — including those within TSA, FEMA, and ICE — are considered essential, meaning they will continue working without immediate pay.

Unfortunately even if you could open a portal to the Bluey Dimension, you would not be able to happily live in Dog Australia. To talking dogs, a human would be a horrific abomination and you’d be immediately locked up by the dog government for medical experimentation

Like on the summer 2024 riots and hotel protests, why legitimise the actions of a bunch of people who were often serial criminals when you could have pinned Ref as the part of hooligans.

Again, I think all parties have failed to grasp the idea that you could have walled Reform in to 15% by pushing the "They are not like any of us on anything".

There's basically two sane opinions about Blusky. They are: 1) Oh yay! We've somewhat brought back old twitter before Elon broke it & 2) Oh no! We've somewhat brought back old twitter before Elon broke it

being around other fans of things can be great but some people need to remember these wise words from Schrier & Narvy that they're only _pretending_ to be Bulk & Skull www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC-I...

This is a @dsquareddigest.bsky.social opinion I’ve stolen but: we should treat people who do this like people who blow up letterboxes or otherwise deliberately damage public amenities. It is vandalism!

"everyone has to get back to the office because the important thing about business is human interaction" is dying, but "white collar jobs will be replaced by AI agents within 18 months" cannot yet be born; in this interregnum a variety of morbid symptoms appear.

Fantastic campaign, with Christoper Eccleston, to end gambling ads. It's sooo notable how many adverts for gambling there are every where you look - television, YouTube, social media, everywhere Ruining families and it doesn't have to be this way www.instagram.com/reel/DUIMYiP...

So the court rules on trans rights, and the Labour government claims they are powerless, but the court rules on Palestine Action, and the government wants to fight it?

It's okay lads, "unlike most other politicians, I’m actually quite well read", oh phew, that's alright then

the Palestine Action ban really was a classic Starmer govt move: a hysterical overreaction that won them zero plaudits from the right, cost them badly to the left, and which got shot down in the end anyway.

Unironically yes, LOWER DECKS is about how the response to the disappointments of the post-Cold War era and the complexity of the modern world should not be despair or cynicism but instead a recommitment to the original ideals of liberalism, thank you for coming to my TED talk.

In terms of what cures are being lost: - Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis - herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis - shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

there are definitely some people who just don't understand and don't want to understand the technology but i think the predominant anti-AI position on bsky is that all the people who promote it love saying stuff like "have fun staying poor"

INTERVIEW! We spoke to the legendary John Wagner about Death of a Judge, Rok The World, and Retirement (maybe!) Read the full interview here, humes ▶️ https://bit.ly/4anMIrL

Literally every trope about how the current generations would struggle to cope with/ how flippant politicians would be about the demands of total war are basically countered by a basic reading of the events of the Phoney War

Okay but this happened in the *actual* Second World War so like

Starfleet Academy ep6 has some VERY Farscape baddies and sets

www.theregister.com/2026/02/11/n... so this Notepad flaw has been patched in updates but bloody hell, guys

Okay so this one had a really stupid impetus. The idea was "a Joe who comes with a horse, but Larry Hama hates it and writes him a file card that makes it clear he's a normal cavalry scout (i.e. vehicular) who also owns a horse. The horse never appears in the comic."

The rivalry with Mighty Morphin Power Celtic seldom gets mentioned.

I really love the 1980s BBC Triffids miniseries, but would I love it _even more_ if the characters transformed into armoured superheroes to have explosion-fights with triffids...???

Remember when your hero was the #LastOfHisKind ... but then you want a whole #ExpandedUniverse of others? Tom Anderson discusses the limitations of this #trope, especially focusing on the #Jedi in #StarWars. #WritingCommunity www.sealionpress.co.uk/post/fiction...

Also, the benefit a reader gets from a book is not exhausted at the last page. Given the choice between writing 200 books, each of which the reader will never think of again, or 1 book that will stay in the reader's brain all their life, the choice is obvious.

If Starmer is serious about a "reset" for Labour then one of the first things which needs to happen is that he boots Mahmood, and others, out of the cabinet and scraps his government's cruel and inhumane policies and rhetoric against migrants, and other marginalised groups. #r4today

there was a really good play Dealer's Choice where professional gambler Ash (Roger Lloyd Pack in the one I saw) shows up to gut a recurring card game and the guy who _thought_ he was the ace who was good enough to go professional ends up enraged to realise he's been so easily chumped.

always a good time to see random Ranson

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books. She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it. It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

#TrekADay The Enterprise is stolen and taken to the planet of sex robots (though not the same one as last time). But which old enemy could be behind this? Why...

the Lib Dems are REALLY excited about the final part of Death Of A Judge
