It's 2026 people... Your presentation really shouldn't have TED Talks anymore. I don't care how good the talk is

The modern copout of buying someone random online tat as a present is annoying. I would rather you just don't bother getting me a birthday/christmas present than showering me with cheap, nasty plastic shite.

But according to our government you are not allowed to say anything negative about this criminal regime.... they tried to even put people in jail for that. Shameful. You are who you are friends with... p.s. No one is still talking about Epstein are they?

you see dubious political chicanery, I see admirable proof that the Met doesn't discriminate when it comes to its abject failure to investigate phone theft, even if the phone in question was being used to run the government

I get so tired of this..... Isn't the question: think it doesn't matter that they should not take an audience for granted an do something for them? Nope - somehow people who feel that candidates do NOTHING for them still need to vote. It's like asking would you rather be stabbed or shot.

No racism to be seen here... please move along: www.youtube.com/watch?v=USiB...

For anyone at all who gets annoyed when we call Labour Tory-lite.... Read the below one more time.

Are they mental? 'incentivise work'? It's f***ing hard to get a job you bag of nonces. You guys pushing AI through, not helping out entrepreneurs - yet helping Big Businesses it all isn't helping. How much did your upping the minimum wage do for working? YOU JUST THINK WE'RE LAZY CNUTS.

As someone who started work in 2001, I didn't think that the post dotcom crash and 9/11 was going to be my economic golden age.

I see 5 time draft dodger is calling people cowards again

I see Question Time has reached its inevitable endgame. It was bound to happen.

Underreported fact. People don't understand all of the byproducts and knock on effects things have. Similarly I was once told that the slag from creating steel is used in cement production and in agriculture.... We have no idea how interconnected everything is in the material world.

Not enough people's predictions go on to haunt them / make people question their future predictions. See also; Advertising/Comms/Trends people.

I don't really feel like the press coverage of the metaverse implosion honestly captures the access tech press' role in propping up Mark Zuckerberg's fake innovation mythology if you go back and read "journalism" from this era, 97% was indistinguishable from advertorial

When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist. - Hélder Câmara Pic of the day #photography

At the time I said the same thing as James. I had already lived through the Second Life era - I had literally seen brands shell out loads of 💰💰💰 to do something I had told them not to, which meant we weren't doing things we should. That was super frustrating and I could see the same thing here.

Named after what happens when people with far too much money hear about this problem....

People get weirdly irate about MPs salaries and expenses. But by far the bigger issue is that they're allowed to have second jobs and multiple income streams. A recipe for disaster. Pay them significantly more. But no second jobs. Do the job you're elected for.

Hey Keir - hope you read this memo as well....

It's impossible for a decent person to become a billionaire. Anyone who isn't a total sociopath would just stop and do something worthwhile instead a long time before they accumulated that kind of wealth.

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England. I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

GB News has turned into the Reform channel. After a New World investigation found hundreds of breaches of the rules on accuracy and impartiality, Ofcom has failed to do its job and act. We've seen what Fox News has done to politics in the US. We can't let it happen here.

These are the things that have historically led to revolutions. Not sustainable.

Labour would long since have done better under with PR. FPTP has kept it out of power 2/3 of the time. Fear of losing safe seats and cultural conservatism has been a dead weight for Labour for decades. Labour must change or it will die.

It seems so obvious that I struggle to understand how people fail to see it. Starmer tells us that *WE* have to stop Reform by voting Labour, whereas *HE* could do it by introducing PR. But then we'd lose any remaining incentive to vote for his party.

Please make the sharks rip into Farage up in that he's okay with companies not paying tax in the UK and off-shoring all they can. Make memes of companies making ludicrous amounts of money and not paying taxes with 'You don't understand how businesses work' Keep attacking him on this.

Tax them to fuck.

Richard Tice avoided ~£600K in corporation tax after acquiring legal status. Angela Rayner underpaid about £40K in Stamp Duty. Tice said she should resign if she had “integrity and moral decency,” calling it “morally indefensible.” Apparently that principle has a price limit.🤨

They should stop in the first safe country they pass through

Worse for me is the black shoes with the blue suit.... Ugh!

Just so we're clear: www.theguardian.com/environment/...

It is really good that this is called out - but the problem is that there are mining companies that tyr to do things the right way and some that don't. By not naming the mining company but just the mining site they brush everyone with the same tar brush. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I really wonder why Labour is seen as Tory-lite or even Reform-Lite.

I REALLY don't want to be THAT person.... but it is quite amazing how much Claude can help out with tasks. It does take out some of the actual pleasure though.

the mantis shrimp has 16 types of color receptors. humans have 3. we see roughly 10 million colors and think that's impressive. the mantis shrimp is sitting there processing a visual reality so hyperchromatic that scientists genuinely aren't sure what it's like to be one. #addOcean

Starmer has alienated pensioners, hungry children, the disabled, grannies & vicars protesting, SEND children, trans people, those wanting clean water- why not upset the lawyers as well?

Ex lawyer doesn't want lawyers interfering with his anti-law law was something I did not have on my Bingo card for KS when he was voted into power

Attacks leave dead vs killed

Hello... McFly ..... You're not in the EU so you have absolutely no voice whatsoever in this matter....

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Rubio: “Let me tell you, Iran is run by lunatics, religious fanatic lunatics.”

Crypto donations are a new back door for foreign interference. Only one Westminster party accepts them: Reform UK. We must close every loophole and defend our democracy. youtube.com/shorts/IMlSC...

You don't need to be a strategist to see this coming a mile off

Not a fan of Zarah S, but she is right on the money here. Just like we are directly responsible for bombings in Gaza. We are complicit - though most of us are utterly disgusted by it.

I'm really all for change - but the women who have adapted to the men's world are not the answer. They are just as bad.

Is it just me or is there something utterly grotesque about the British right wing press relishing this war....as though this is all just a huge compter game where the men, woman and child civilians who are blown into several pieces are of only periphery consequence?
