Might have to pick up a copy of this.

Google's new AI search is a gaslighting cunt. Oh, you "respect my space", do you? That's nice. But you don't actually go away, do you? No, you're still there, fucking up my searches.

SEX POND, SEX POND, ALDI SEX POND!

So anyone saying they welcome the clarity or whatever, is basically someone you can dismiss as a transphobe, because I am someone who's pretty clued in about their bullshit and I can't follow the logic of the guidance at all.

Yelling abuse at women in the street is a "public service" according to Reform. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

London restaurants I still really miss: a short list Silk Road, Camberwell. silkroadlondon.has.restaurant - Xinjiang cuisine at pocket-friendly prices Mamuska, Waterloo. www.mamuska.net - hearty Polish and an epic vodka list.

I don't think this comes as a surprise to anyone who knows me. My result: Eco-Socialist Economic: strongly collectivist Social: strongly progressive Sovereignty: cosmopolitan Military: anti-interventionist Authority: libertarian Constitutional: reformist Take the quiz: quiz.jmoxley.co.uk

I can't. It was in French and it was about a school for butlers that was run by an evil matriarch figure. "I had finally reached the centre. But there was no centre. There was... a goldfish". Can't remember the title & googling doesn't find it, but that line has stuck!

Can't wait for Bumble to get sued because its All Powerful Algorithm pushed some poor woman into an abusive relationship.

Great thread on the etymology of katsu curry. I really want a chicken katsu now. Though not from Dominos.

Why does he pronounced vegan like it's a race in Star Trek?

HIVE MIND: anybody in the London area got a LEFT-HANDED electric guitar that they wouldn’t mind lending to me for a couple of weeks? Cheers M

Hey @themerl.bsky.social, new absolute unit just dropped.

First recorded case of an Irish goodbye.

Initially read this as "Russell Brand was sued by Pac Man".

Fascinating to note that the obsolescence of detachable collars and cuffs coincides with laundry duties moving from the commercial to the domestic sphere. Laundering full shirts no longer cost significantly more, but time and effort on unpaid labour for women increased.

That's because THERE IS NO ENERGY IN RED BULL. It's just artificial sweeteners and caffeine. It doesn't and cannot provide your body with energy. You'll just be exhausted *and* jittery.

No need to be rude, Mahmood Just make sure he leaves, Reeves Get him out number ten, Benn Just get yourself free No need to be down, Brown He don't have to bleed, Reed You're taking a while, Kyle Please get yourself free

Absolutely devastated by this. None of the polling or tactical voting sites were predicting a Reform win in Woodhouse at all. I feel slightly sick. This racist thug does not represent me.

Worth noting, before we all get too depressed, that the first wards counted are rarely bellwethers of the overall result.

Polls now closed in England, Scotland & Wales. My predictions, for England at least: Labour: absolute shoeing. lose most councils they control. Reform: do less well than they expect, but will still make significant gains. Greens: gain several councils. LDs: hold steady.

"I prefer my child beauty pageant contestants to die of melanoma before they get old enough to take me to court".

See also: people who bang on about how poor people can "just batch cook with fresh ingredients" to save money. Not if you share a kitchen in an HMO so can't hog the cooker for hours, or take up half the fridge with tupperwares full of stew and bags of veggies, you can't.

Much as no British person has ever used the Facebook "wow" reaction emoji non-sarcastically.

500) Resistbot. The struggle is long. Resistbot stands in solidarity with the oppressed and marginalised the world over. It speaks for the voiceless and fights on behalf of those who cannot. Maybe that's you, today: if so, Resistbot is there, tireless and unflinching. #SmallRobotsRemastered

I'm not sure it's wise to be announcing this.

Hah, I'll just buy the Petrol petrol instead of the Petrol petrol and save a fortune!

This place isn’t just not a place of honour — it’s a place best shunned and left uninhabited. Some key points: 1. Something man-made is here 2. Something man-made is here and it is dangerous Would you like to know more about what happens if you substantially disturb this place physically?

I'm pleased to announce I'm a founding co-editor of the new @manchesterup.bsky.social book series, Radical Histories. Do let me know if you have a proposal for a book that fits our inclusive remit on radical histories. manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/series/radic...

Guess the vibe coding is going really well for Bluesky....?

This is gaslighting from the Abuser In Chief. We know what we saw. Doctors don't wear Biblical robes.

Leopards, faces...

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

This sounds revolting, but this line is pure gold: "we’re inviting any coffee shop to steal this drink and put it on their own menu. Not you, Starbucks,” www.theguardian.com/food/2026/ap...

Another ALW musical? Have we not suffered enough?!

I love how combustion addicts think this is some sort of gotcha. "If you make driving less cheap and convenient for me, I'll just have to use public transport!"

I do wonder, when people constantly post "release the Epstein files", what they think will happen if they are released? Quite a lot of their content has already come out, yet Trump is still president. What further evidence do they believe would be damning enough to topple him?

Finally a political party that admits the truth that any thinking person knows - with an ageing population and falling birthrate, if we want to NHS, social care sector and state pensions in 20 years' time, we need immigration, esp. young people who want to work.

See, this is why I can never walk past a skip!

Bisexual reference crew.

Yeah, I've dated database engineers.

@russchandlermusic.com We know a song about that, don't we boys and girls?

Is this car owned by a horrible goose?

Did Melania just pull the most Streisand Effect stunt since Streisand? I had never heard of this book before now, and certainly would have had no intention of reading it. I doubt I'm alone in that!
