In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly. In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Moose is great, I mean really great.

NEW There's no overstating how significant the Nathan Gill case is. On Friday, the close associate of Nigel Farage was jailed for over 10 years for taking bribes ultimately from a friend of Putin. It's a complex, detail-heavy story that raises questions about Farage’s claim Gill was ‘one bad apple’🧵

I had a very chilly, but pretty, walk today.

I’m not a great political analyst, but I do feel Labour have made a tactical error by opting to be cunts.

Who decides what the flavour of each Christmas will be? Did all the food manufacturers and shops have a big zoom meeting back in April where they all decide that this time it's the year of the gingerbread?

I thought this was going to turn into a story needing its own True Crime Netflix series, but no. This is quite something. metro.co.uk/2025/11/18/w...

why can they not just fix it

A Government of cowards. Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution. They can't get away with this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I cannot believe I was ever a member of Labour. They can fuck right off.

Jewellery is traditionally the easiest way to carry wealth. It's small, it can be worn or hidden, it can be made of solid gold. You could turn everything you had into a necklace to carry. Imagine many refugees do this, or it represents the only part of their own wealth they could save. Refugees.

This popped up at the start of South Park. Leo, of editorial compliance, must be exhausted.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

I spend an unhealthy amount of time at my desk working, so it's very much appreciated having views like this on my doorstep when I do take a break for a walk.

Ready for a change? After a warm start to November, temperatures will drop next week, and there will be some snow ❄️ Watch our latest 10-Day Trend ⤵️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=I140...

Rather satisfying nominative determinism here.

To all the doubters, AI is so close to being perfect Look my iphone helpfully transcribed a voice message left by my French mechanic

I was expecting Grease 2, Spotlight, Innerspace, and The Muppet Christmas Carol.

I can see over the past couple of weeks I have been sent a few DMs on here. I have no idea who they're from or what they say, as I do not have access to my private messages on here!

There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is. 🧵 1/5

So is Trump going to stop the BBC and defund #TheArchers with his £1b lawsuit?

Fuck, how did I only just hear of Dave this past week. His words are incredible.

Mamdani is going to impose Shania Law. It won't impress you much.

I really shouldn't share bad ai, but the fact that they're pretending to have animated it all by hand is extraordinary. Anyone who has done digital animation will be flabbergasted at the audacity.

This needs to be a thing, yes. OpenAI has a literal body count at this point

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate!!

Fuck yes he won.

Seeing more and more people using "AI" "art" for their blog posts and podcasts and it's so horrible. Why would you advertise and adorn your hard work with reeking robot shit?

“Relentlessly campaigning for this honour was harder work than building a stadium in intense heat for 45p an hour”, quipped the multimillionaire

Having one of those weeks where I hear about a famous musician for the first time. I’m confused how this keeps happening. The radio is on all day, new music all the time. Makes me paranoid, like everyone just invented these people this week & is pretending to me that they’ve been famous for ages.

This New Yorker documentary about the 1988 UK government ban on broadcasting the voices of Sinn Féin and I.R.A. leaders is pretty good but they show *that clip from The Day Today with no explanation and no indicator that it is satire. www.newyorker.com/video/watch/...

I went for a walk this afternoon. Saw a little egret in Fenn Creek.

My cat likes watching Air Crash Investigation with me at night.

Had a lovely evening enjoying Roger Sayer, the organist on the Interstellar soundtrack, playing at Chelmsford Cathedral. Absolutely fascinated by how he plays. It was wonderful. Then my youngest son sent me a photo of his Halloween party outfit. He's gone out as David Byrne in Stop Making Sense.

OK, NOW you can officially do your "The Andrew formerly known as Prince" jokes

Haven't checked my gutters but when I checked my letterbox there was some AI slop in there. Bad enough seeing that on facebook, but in the junk mail? FFS. Also, are they saying they use small children to clean gutters?

ha HA what of your supposed 'creativity' NOW! <shows you an obscenely horrifying uncanny nightmare>

@8radioireland.bsky.social I spend my day at my desk listening most of the day. I love what you play. Here in Essex. Miles away. You are now playing On The Radio by Donna Summer, a song my mum used to play so much in my childhood. I wish you were on DAB over here. So I could listen in my car too.

Wow. This is easily the most ridiculous dropsonde I’ve ever seen. 188 knot mean winds in the low-levels with gusts over 250 mph Absolutely scary and historic hurricane headed into SW Jamaica this morning

Spending the day working with hurricane coverage on in the background. Great coverage from @rhyall.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=qitH...

Recon just measured an extrapolated pressure of *893.5* mb in #Melissa...and they haven't even gone through the eye yet! Holy crap!

Adverts should be representative of traditional British families.

Lightning flashes within the powerful eye wall of Hurricane Melissa. Incredible imagery this morning of Melissa, a Category 5 storm, south of Jamaica.

Found this on the verge near the shops. I hope they have a brilliant Halloween sleepover.
