“They’re giving you the Piss Prize.”

“You can’t blame austerity on one hand, but then say it’s the immigrants. The immigrants haven’t caused austerity.” Zack Polanski takes on Reform’s Zia Yusuf over spreading of misinformation on #BBCQT

KITCHENWARE COMPANY BOSS: So, did you come up with a name for that revolving food tray, Susan? SUSAN: No, couldn't be arsed.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

Higgledy piggledy Timothée Chalamet Has a name meriting Endless design Much like his forerunner Benedict Cumberbatch: Hexasyllabically, Easy to rhyme

Well, that's a bastard.

It’s not just the Artists whose work gets used that needs to be paid for. Every model in the art should be paid for; every piece of art on a wall; logos; pets; home interiors; tattoos; music being played in the background; … This is what companies have to pay for now. Why should AIs be exempt.

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

Artists should be able to enforce normal licenses against AI companies: no use without a license, limited terms, terms set by rights holder, no use after terms end. This is what every company has had to do up until now. It is what has kept artists housed and fed. Meta should be prosecuted.

God. The insane nonsense drivel we non-Americans have to put up with. Could you imagine someone from Manchester having the audacity to write this, even if it was a joke.

YER DA PAINTS CROSSES ON COWS

Guess my occupation

Absolute all-timer sentence in today's @nytimes.com

So exhausting..

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Dozens of delegates from multiple nations walk out of UN hall as Israeli prime minister prepares to speak.

These very true words from Steve Hely have given me tremendous comfort over the years.

This is also obscene

That's twice the power consumption that all of Scotland's onshore and offshore wind farms generate — or three Sizewell C nuclear power stations. It's obscene.

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

Quoting Teddy Roosevelt again: “To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

So … Donald Trump had dinner with Nick Fuentes who inspired Tyler Robinson who shot Charlie Kirk who supported Donald Trump. Bloody lefties.

“I put it to the right honourable lady that em dash she is quite mistaken …”

Oops!

Oh. Bluesky is deleting any CK jokes!

Bluesky is such a dour place. Threads is nothing but hilarious Charlie Kirk jokes.

I guess I’m now a bleeding neck liberal.

Starmer has the worst political instincts of any party leader in history. His entire strategy is trying to appease a bunch of people who already decided years ago they hated him. Meanwhile he's pissing off everybody who tolerated him.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

I only buy head and shoulders shampoo because my husband has incredibly hairy shoulders.

You can tell it’s not a faithful adaptation as nobody smokes and women get to say things other than to answer the phone.

Oh look, Labour has spent months targeting the wrong voters.

There burning the planet for this slop

This is handy

If big corporations have siloed the internet into their big subscription based walled gardens, then the Online Safety Act is the guy going around locking all the doors.

I saw that George Michael gifted people anonymously and ever since then, I do the same thing. I can't afford IVF but will send a spa voucher or donate to friends' kids' football teams. I love it and no one ever suspects it's me.

I have a senior role at my company, have attended many leadership training seminars, and learned all the leadership philosophies and buzzwords. None of them work as well as simply asking myself "what would an arsehole do in this situation?" and then doing the exact opposite.

I suppose this is the point when I should say again that: the amount of money the videogames industry brings into the UK economy every year is *more than double* the value of the fishing and steel industries *combined* what this country is really good at is producing culture

The minimum qualifications for joining the MET need looking at…

AI is trained on us; as such, it replicates many of our biases. Yet it's treated as objective & unbiased. Dangerous shit.

If boys and girls weren't brought up as separate species then the capitalists wouldn't be able to sell us two of everything for no reason.

*nervous at a party, straightening my skirt* "uh, so have you been in the neighborhood long?" *a third raccoon wriggles free from under my sweater and tears across the kitchen, pots and pans clattering after it* "I love these dish towels"

I'm sure the Tommy Robinsons of this world will get right on that.

Please don't plug keyboards or other devices into random USB ports, ok?

Let's just clear this up once and for all... youtube.com/shorts/oUccS...

No, inheritance tax isn't a double tax on your already taxed, hard earned money. You're dead. You don't pay it. It's paid, to all intents and purposes, by the people receiving the inheritance, who absolutely did not earn it, and don't deserve a massive tax free windfall.
