Has anyone explained to Andy Burnham why no one liked Keir Starmer?

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

Scotland have carved up Arg on the Argentina right wing every single time. I can't work out why though.

Cruel policies will never be cruel enough for the people who enjoy cruelty, whilst actively driving away everyone who doesn't.

The reason Morgan McSweeney was terrible at fighting Reform has similar reasons why the SWP is absolutely terrible at actually delivering on their claimed aims. Because being very good at organisational factional battling actually has very little overlap with being good at delivering for an org.

Me: Okay, there's been a thunderstorm, the heatwave should be over now. (New health bar appears) (The sun is now named 'Sol, Starflame of Regret') (Objectively the greatest piece of classical music ever recorded starts playing).

I'm sorry? Turnout was up 6 points on the last general election??? Burnham has the mandate of heaven. All who opposed him will be swept away by the tides of history.

"Laypeople can't distinguish expert analysis from something merely expert-analysis shaped" may be the greatest summation of modern times without even bringing LLMs into it. So many bad faith arguments are "expert-analysis shaped"

Everyone shut up I finally got a video of Jyn doing her cartoon snoring thing

What a guy

'I'd buy a new coffee machine for three grand on expenses every couple of years if I could' - the median Scottish voter

Put all the purchases from the SNP fraud case in a museum and call it the Murrell Collection

jamwitch.itch.io/the-case-of-... is a lovely game where you delve into the past to unravel what has happened to the princess. I love the base mechanic. I like the sudden bursts of inspiration that the game creates. It makes me feel clever.

Easter Road currently sounding like they won the league rather than getting beaten by 10 man Motherwell!

I beg your pardon?

This summary of different early medieval literature is still one of my favourite things on the internet. #medievalsky

She understands she can’t actually deport him, right?

Springs and things #pico8 #postcart (technically old school #tweetcart as 280 chars on the dot) Haven't done any Pico 8 programming in a while. It shows.

One of the most captivating and unique games you'll ever play. You would be a fool to pass up on this if you haven't played it before.

Interesting Scottish election factoid: Edinburgh Central is the first time the SNP have finished outside the top two in a Holyrood constituency contest since 2011.

Never not hilarious to see 1st and 2nd place inverted from the Constituency vote to the List vote.

I did not have SNP winning Shetland on my bingo card.

There we go.

That's the west coast mainline for you

current status: weeping with laughter

In every relationship there are two people. One who thinks "what is the very latest we could leave to get to this event on time?" And one who understans the concept of risk.

Thank goodness Scotland didn't beat Ireland earlier. I would be devastated right now.

My neighbor told me kuwait keep shooting down his F15s so I asked how many F15s he has and he said he just goes to the airbase and gets a new F15 afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding F15s to kuwait and then his daughter started crying.

Metacritic as the last vanguard of humanity checks out actually.

arts & crafts games sounds like the most ideal genre for games to be in many respects if you ask me lol

i have a theory. claude is a roleplaying game where you roleplay as a boss

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

Absolutely jaw dropping

A Rouge-like is when it is kind of, but not actually, red.

"Pattern Recognition" She’s at the screen and won’t let it go. "We have to split, kid. Now!" "Almost got it. It’s not random." "They'll lock down the zone any moment." "But I can see the pattern." "THIS ZONE IS OFF LIMITS!" #pico8 #codeart #tweetcart #postcart #generative #sizecoding #postpostcart

The last line of this post may be the funniest thing ever written.

Even better.

I can't stop giggling at this.

Worked out the rules in 5 guesses. Failed at visualisation for the next 20 odd SCRIDDLE #29 (28⨯ - 12:27) scriddle.net?d=MDYtMDEtMj...

Microsoft is so fucking stupid. Microsoft renamed Microsoft Office to Microsoft 365 Copilot App I'm not joking

Even if you know the rules I think this one was a hard puzzle SCRIDDLE #27 (45⨯ - 41:33) scriddle.net

Either I'm getting better at this or it was an easy one today SCRIDDLE #26 (14⨯ - 15:29) scriddle.net

This is cool. A puzzle game where the puzzle is working out the rules of the puzzle. SCRIDDLE #24 (30⨯ - 15:13) scriddle.net
