Well I guess that order is being fulfilled from the Netherlands them

Apple: This phone, this phone, ladies and gentlemen, this brand new, breakthrough iPhone costs £1000. Everyone: Oooooh. Google: We now also sell a phone for £1000. Apple: Shit.

Making tacos tonight and so much water is coming out of the marinated chicken that I'm effectively just gently poaching it in preparation for whacking up the heat at the end to sear it.

The Monster At The End Of This Epoch

Fancy hot sauce

"Universal digital ID" sounds great until you realise it means handing over your unlocked mobile phone to anyone who asks.

Oh we're doing Wank discourse again are we

GB News have Googled "big brother" and got the 1984 Apple Mac advert.

Make bad decisions faster with better data

It's not even a proper pint.

You'd think the US government would be able to get the best lawyers to prosecute their watertight cases.

Just a ball of coiled-up charisma.

I highly recommend this book to all of us squalid types who find ourselves occasionally staring in bafflement at British people getting very exercised about something. (First published in 1946!)

If I recall, the first thing the apes in 2001 do when the monolith has taught them how to use tools is wipe out their neighbours.

Now if he said, "Labour got it wrong by agreeing with the Tories" he might be on to something.

The UK could do a huge amount to devolve policy details and elements of revenue raising in order to strengthen local democracy; this is however entirely the wrong framing and driver for that conversation.

An exciting new book arrives! Good luck with this in Germany, I guess.

One of the things that came out of the whole Charlie Kirk discussion was the success of a "debate" style which just involves saying things with enormous confidence, and refusing to accept any alternative, that you convince an audience that you must be right.

Queen's Greatest Hits, obviously.

Same old playbook from Farage.

Brownfield regeneration is a public good and should be properly and transparently subsidised, otherwise you end up pretending someone else is paying and the kind of shenanigans seen at Tyneside, where trying to pretend stuff is off the books ends up with corruption.

You will not be able to stay home, brother You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and Skip out for beer during commercials Because the Rapture will not be televised

Kind of want to go round an evangelistic neighbourhood sticking "Jesus called to rapture you but you were out, please call XXX-XXX-XXX to reschedule" leaflets through postboxes.

Don't think this would be enforceable in the UK, but what kind of monster thinks that this is a reasonable demand to make of their tenants?

🤨

Once again with the policy that poorly-paid jobs should be reserved for Brits.

This from @starshine.bsky.social genuinely strikes me as a good game idea.

Having said this, and as someone who will wear a kilt on occasion, it's worth noting the incredible success of a benign form of nationalism which is expressed by inviting everyone to dress up and have a big party.

When Sartre said, "L'enfer, c'est les autres" I have to assume he was at Oktoberfest at the time.

Daughter collecting her pet spider moults like they're locks of a child's hair.

Aliens Vs Field Of Dreams: "Game over, man."

Oh man

Oh yes, Wiesn starts today.

Next step: Ur Party

Sure, I'll try the expensive spaghetti just this once, how much better can it be?

Already looking forward to the sequel, Steves

I highly recommend the Amphigorey as a series worth collecting.

This would do better if it was just a voice interface to look up recipes online.

Honestly do not understand what functionality a screen brings to a fridge in the first place.

I just knew those fuckers were always pissed.

Douala-Malabo on a small prop thing, in my first job, when at about 1000ft something very like smoke started billowing from under the seat. Fortunately it turned out to just be cloud coming in through a hole in the airframe.

We are living in the future.

Being given a "traffic light simulator" programme to write along with a circle-drawing algorithm and realising that in Mode 2 I could draw the circles once and rotate the colour palette for the simulation, rather than redrawing them every time.

Thing is, this is a perfectly reasonable question, since FPTP encourages forms of electoral coalitions but under single-party banners, so any large party will have internal tensions. It's not unreasonable to ask where the fracture points are. /1
