Every time I see Musk talk about getting to Mars I think of this article. defector.com/neither-elon...

I had a crazy idea this week... We had leftover rice, and some Oxtail... So I attempted to make Oxtail fried rice. Not the best fried rice I've made, tbh. Too much moisture and I think the seasoning will need tweaks... but the concept has legs 👀

Enraging to have grown up around working class black people who came to the UK and broke themselves for it only to be told that their host nation still has “legitimate concerns” about them being there.

My sons are still adorable little gremlin pricks. That is all.

Was thinking about this the other day and realised I've never been in the Southern hemisphere. Furthest I've ever been: N: Moscow E: Tokyo S: Ho Chi Minh City W: Montego Bay Never left Sheremetyevo airport though so if that doesn't count, furthest North is Middlesbrough (lol)

I have Jamaican aunties, you cannot scold me in a way that matters. 🐸☕

How is this a real British person, it's like if there was an American actress named Cowgirl Gunburger

The results of said class. I'm an artisan now 😤

He knew that from this moment forward, she’d be the centaur of his universe.

ATTENTION VISUAL ARTISTS: Chicago University's 'Nightshade 1.0' Learning Algorithm 'poison' filter is now live for public use: Unlike 'Glaze', which only makes your art irreplicable, Nightshade actively damages any learning database it gets added to. nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/downloads.html

Now... I'm not particularly religious myself, but I recognise a double standard when I see one. He's right. That this is only really being brought up in the context of Benzema being accused of having links to a controversial Islamist group is... Not good. But it's a valid point nonetheless.

Reminds me of something I read somewhere: "Meet me half way," says the neolib/conservative/status-quo-preserving-centrist/respectability politics guy, while jogging backwards.

If you keep voting for the lesser of two evils they will lower the bar every election and eventually they will be telling you that you have to support a guy who is arming, funding and enabling a genocide. And by “eventually” I mean today.

This year I started a series of artworks influenced by Picasso. I've taken elements of his style and used it to focus on topics he didn't, mainly Black women, with some African influences thrown in too. You can see the rest on my Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fightingpride93

mfer is literally named "rob tombs" like what did they summon the spirit of the british museum into a column writer

Think you're on to something here. There definitely seems to be a tendency among large portions of readers (and gamers) these days to want the minutiae of a system. For gamers, that's primarily so they know how to exploit it, I suppose. I don't get why we *need* it as readers

"Elon Musk" sounds like some type of weak potion that would get you 0 gold in skyrim

Look at this handsome little agent of chaos. Look at him. Adorable ass motherfucker.

Villacord in a bit of a meltdown tonight. But it's not like we didn't predict that the blades would be the banana skin. One guy was almost frighteningly accurate in his prediction actually...

Last match of the year tonight. Lost by one. Opposition started running the ball into the corner to waste time, begging the next lot to call time towards the end. It's a five a side game 😂 I respect the shithousing tbh

Took my wife to a pottery class for her birthday this year. Quite possibly the best gift I've ever got her tbh. Haven't seen her smile so much in the space of two hours except on our wedding day. And she's generally quite smiley 😂 Anyway, strong recommend. Great fun. 👍🏽

Good match last night. Really competitive, hard-fought. Best one since I made my latest attempt to come out of retirement. Had to make adjustments to my post-game routine to deal with the fact I'm geriatric in athlete terms. Taken some getting used to. But... No knee pain today! Major plus.

... I... But... Hm. This feels so obvious now that you've said it.

in general idk why more of "the left" isn't more focused on mutual aid the one thing the liberal economists are correct about is that labor activism usually goes down in a bad market why you need to be able to provide essential needs to workers when conditions are truly dire, to enable action

Some folks still get angry when I say Debbie Harry was a hip-hop pioneer. Anger doesn't change reality, tho'... (And it's often the case that the pioneers might not be the best exemplars, but they do serve a purpose and should not be erased. You can't erase Harry from the history of hip-hop)

Whuff.

Good ebening once again, premier league fans

Played 45 minutes of 5-a-side last night and man, I feel *broken* today lmao. Was a good test though. Slowly feel like my fitness is returning. I'm physically stronger than I've been in years, maybe ever. Lost a lot of my quickness and agility, and stamina is in the pits but progress is being made

This is deeply upsetting. A significant influence on my own writing, and a local legend (we're from the same area). I am thankful that we have his work, so he lives on eternally.

There is no "British food". Just stolen recipes and ways to use rations, tbh. But yeah, they really lean into that whole "if you're not suffering, you're not living" mentality, so all their dishes are elaborate forms of self-torture. Source: lived on this godforsaken island for nearly 40 years

Good ebening to all Premier League fans 😊

So today is "Pizza and Cider Day". The anniversary of the day my wife and I got the keys to our first house. We had no furniture, and got the keys late because my commute was long. So we ordered pizzas, grabbed ciders from the off license around the corner and sat on the floor to have dinner.

Back again, chilling with the bitey void son. This lasted about 45 seconds before he ran off to terrorise mom because he heard a food wrapper rustling lol

Good read. There was a palpable shift in the mood around the club under Smith. He *got* the club & the fans. It showed. Brum is weird like that I think. To outsiders, we just don't make sense. Gerrard never *got* us like Smith did. And it showed. I think Emery *gets* us too. And again, it shows.

Been having internet connection issues at home since last night. Spent an embarrassingly long time trying to figure out the cause, only to find it was... my cat. Chunky little bastard fell off the sofa and dislodged the front plate of the socket where the ethernet cable connected to the router

You know, I always thought it meant like... wear a cup. TIL also

My wife critiqued my paper 😂

bruhhhhh the noise i made lol

For anyone who filled out the survey last night and is curious btw: <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EqlIeuZVrqDqz5pb5Qk4wojdDnRUyqFDIug7EsHLQGs>

I said it back and June when Robertson died, and I'll say it again now: Reminder to live your life in such a way that millions of people cannot rightfully cheer your death.

I was JUST thinking "hm, I wonder if I'd get called an anti-semite for not grieving over the death of Kissinger" Well. Guess I don't need to wonder anymore

Ayo what the FUCK?!
