The linked report, especially, is well worth reading.

When engineers drive product development, rather than Nazi charlatans. youtube.com/watch?v=dBMg...

I’m shocked.

I need to work out the precise colour of an Italian spiced pudding. I’ll be needing my Pannetone chart.

Eating a cheese and sausage sandwich. It’s the wurst-käse scenario.

Furry miscreant is thirsty

Chlorinated chicken is a product of industrial farming. No small farmer needs to wash their birds in bleach.

Oh, Hi, @teamlabouruk.bsky.social The correct response to this demand is “fuck off”. Yours, every sane person in Britain.

1. It didn’t happen (or is false-flag by Russia) 2. There is no chance they are close to a peace deal, as Trump’s “deal” was dictated to Witkoff by the Kremlin and amounts to utter capitulation.

So, what’s your fave? Tangerine Palpatine? Mango Mussolini? Dear Leader? Mad King? Orange Felon?

AN honest statement of opinion cannot be libel under US law. In my honest opinion, Trump is a rapist, a child abuser, a fraudster, senile, incompetent, and corrupt to the heart of his being. Oh, wait: those are also protected by the absolute Defense of truth.

This is accurate. All you need in order to get mass popular support for socialist policies in the US is to brand them FREEDOMcare and FREEDOMfood. Oh, and make sure most of the money goes to billionaires, otherwise the media will shoot it down.

People: Everything is turning to shit. People who benefit from everything turning to shit and actively caused much of it: Vote for us! This is a post about Reform UK Ltd.

If your “concept of liberal education” amounts to defying a deadly virus in the name of some bullshit conception of “freedom” then you were already a lost cause.

Reminder: Oz was reamed by Congress for selling miracle diet scams. Wellness grifters rely on a mix of naturalistic fallacy and conspiracist bollocks. They get away with it because lobbyists got inert substances exempted from laws on testing and advertising. Woo can only be sold if it doesn’t work.

Standing up to a bully causes him to back down? I’m shocked.

If only there was a cheap, effective means to prevent this killer disease that no other developed country sees outside isolated communities of anti-vaccination cranks.

Weird how every time something Trump touches falls apart, it’s the fault of *everyone else* and never the guy whose fingerprints are on everything that’s been broken.

Trump is a petulant child.

Nobody could have predicted this.

I don’t know how we get past the fact that around 40% of people now have a fact-impermeable wall around a system of beliefs that is completely unmoored from reality. We’re talking “climate change isn’t real because Biden had open borders and that’s against America’s founding as a Christian country”.

This purest evil is why we can’t have nice things. Karma pay Google to put this at the top of the search results so Klarna can insert a referral code and get paid by Screwfix to put this at the top of the list. Second On the list, of course, is the Screwfix website.

It’s the time of year when we give thanks for cheeses.

In the Labyrinth. #Minotaurs

Toby Jones was an excellent Iago! Malevolent but plausibly charming.

I had completely forgotten I bought tickets for Othello at the Theatre Royal. The booking reminder email was a lovely surprise!

This is one of the reasons that @everythingelectric.bsky.social exists - the shows are great networking opportunities for practitioners.

Losing Robin Ince because you don’t want people talking about injustice is not a great look, BBC.

I suppose we should be grateful that Whiskey Pete didn’t have Santa shot down.

Dear online retailers, The fact that I have to give you an email address for communications about an order is ABSOLUTELY NOT consent to receive spam. The fact that I bought a widget once does not make me a serial widget-buyer with a passionate interest in your widget sales business.

Tinnitus be damned. It’s not Christmas without Hely-Hutchinson.

Ah yes, the Merioneth and Llantisilly Rail Traction Company. Excellent festive gift!

Christmas time is here, by golly Disapproval would be folly Deck the halls with hunks of holly Fill the cup and don’t say “when” Kill the turkeys, ducks and chickens Mix the punch, drag out the Dickens Even though the prospect sickens Brother, here we go again

The wife likes to use recycling-friendly paper sticky tape, excellent in every respect but one: it does not adhere o anything. Being an engineer, I fixed this the obvious way.

It would be hilarious if this got the worst ratings of any program on the day, and any previous Kennedy Center Honors.

Donald Trump is not just the oldest man ever elected President, he is also older than all but one living former Presidents. Including the guy who was in elected when I had my first job post college, before my son, now a serving Major and a father himself, was born.

Panels just fall off, except when you would actually want them to.

Reminder: ambassadors require Senate confirmation and exist within a legal framework. A Special Envoy is just some dude picked by the Dear Leader.

Christmas came early this year. I am holding my newborn grandson

Festive rozzer

With us today is Wes Streeting, a Health Secretary whose specialist subject is The Blindingly Obvious.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the world would be a better place if SEO was not a thing.

New Zealand just recorded its first-ever day of zero coal- or gas-fired electricity. In fact two days, 20 & 21 December. (Still some co-gen, about 1.8%.)

For Jesus’ birthday this year, he’s asking for affordable housing, universal healthcare, and for people to stop using his name to explain why they’re being cruel to strangers.

Antivaxxers often demand randomised placebo-controlled trials of vaccines. These are not done, because they would be completely unethical. Now the US has an ethical vacuum in charge of health, West African children get to play Russian roulette with Hep B. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Nobody could have predicted this.

I cannot get over the fact that ICE lies in wait for people attending appointments as part of the legal process for naturalization or green cards. They are the laziest thug trash on the planet.
