Buster Keaton didn't stand still while a two-ton housefront collapsed on top of him with a window cut out to barely clear his shoulders on each side so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

Short people are allowed to do evil because for them it's mischief

Everyone shut up I finally got a video of Jyn doing her cartoon snoring thing

a compromise: if you are a social media site/communication app, you are not responsible for what people post, *provided* you don’t interfere with what they see. so, the bsky timeline, basically: posts you’ve chosen to follow in chronological order. put other posts in there, and you’re a publisher.

Has the government considered how much more cool going on the internet will be for kids when it's a crime?

Cabin Pressure is honestly one of the best British sitcoms of the 21st Century so far - if you haven't heard any of it yet, treat yerself

Elon calling for another race war in the UK. The UK government is still using his platform. At this point Musk is laughing at them

Free idea for Great British Railways: slap some Union Flags down the side of this and call it the Pacer 2

Trans people are a small, harmless minority of the population who are - de facto and frankly not even de jure in any real sense - being deliberately marginalised with the force of the state, in a way calculated to cause them extreme distress. Fuck that and fuck anyone who supports it.

actually so angry about that Russian oil decision that I can't even really bear to feel my own fury, it's so all-encompassing that I can only glance at it from an angle, once in a while, then think about something else

On which subject... This is AWFUL and I place no blame at the foot of the poor designer who has been forced to turn this AI generated clipart into a coherent train livery. This and the HS2 stuff tells you everything you need to know about how serious this government is about the future.

Stop! It is necessary for you to see graphic designer extraordinaire Margaret Calvert’s 90th birthday cake. Perfection.

Burger King Big Plain (1973-1975): A plain, unadorned burger patty on a sesame bun, with no toppings or condiments, rolled out with a massive advertising blitz. It fizzled out almost as soon as it arrived

Finally finished watching the sensational @doublefine.com PsychOdyssey, an incredible testament to the work that goes into making a video game (and you should play it as well)

Major problem in the UK is that we really don't build *apartments* outside of major cities. We are desperately in love with sprawl, unnavigable suburbs, and car dependency. Most homes do not need to be the UK standard "tiny shitty semi detached" pattern.

I think the Labour party could make some big improvements to gig work, saying it will help customers actually recieve their packages while couriers get a better working life but even then I can't imagine higher delivery costs would be popular

Sadiq Khan says Labour faces an "existential" threat and "London has been taken for granted for too long". Wants "bold assertion" of progressive values to take on the Greens.

The UK needs to stop doing individual projects and just doing continuous rail upgrades, because we (as a matter of policy design!) shed expertise pointlessly every time!

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

you there, boy! What year is it??? The year of Linux on the desktop??? Then I haven't missed it!! The spirits did it all in one night!!!

"Benches are where optimistic visions of civic life meet reality. To remove them, or to curate who gets to sit, is to abandon the work of defining a civic ideal and determining, together, how to live up to it." NEW: Why benches are slowly disappearing from public spaces — and why we need them back:

I am politely requesting my friends at the NS to let me have a go with the giant train costume one day. I promise I can be trusted with the giant train costume.

I do think tech companies are underestimating the amount of - new account fatigue - new app fatigue - useless upgrade fatigue - terms of service fatigue

The Nissan President has been abducted by Nissan Rogues and taken to the Nissan Frontier. His daughter, Nissan Fairlady asks you, Nissan Cedric, a humble Nissan Civilian, to join the Nissan Patrol and use your Nissan Kicks and Nissan Juke to rescue him before he is put inside the Nissan Cube

Strap yourselves in for my most unpopular opinion ever: this is an indication that the price of petrol is about right now and was too low before.

Just a dumb little guy playing his dumb little games #art #games

I took great pleasure in planting a Welsh flag up there a few years ago!

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

What is needed is self examination. The very thing narcissists have erected all their toxic defensive barriers to avoid. So it won’t happen. Don’t wait. Sorry. We have to put them in trebuchets and fire them into the sky. The old fashioned way. I don’t make the rules.

Please enjoy the two minute crucible that is this turtle trying to get on to a log that other turtles are on.

Ooh! They've made a new traveline.info! Looks neat

it's really funny that the bbc still feels it has to write about games like this, imagine writing an article about the oscars and having to start it explaining that not all moviegoers are four-eyed perverts

This is why animamorphs will always be goated.

I don't know about the rest of the millennials but I make all purchases via real computer because I don't have to Download Yet Another App to do it and the browser there is better at blocking all the stupid fucking ads and trackers. At some point you gotta take control of the hamster wheel, kids.

Here's the thing: all the very best indie games you've ever played have had 'no budget', and having no budget is what leads devs to think of clever, innovative workarounds. If you shortcut the problems, you won't find the creative solutions. 'No budget' is the crux from which all creativity flows

I'm losing it at this delivery robot getting absolutely smoked by the Brightline train in Florida 🤖🚅

i have watched the ncuti gatwa performance of the importance of being earnest and can report that it is indeed very good especially the costumes! and lady bracknell!

it's not that I think this is the worst thing happening right now or the one that's genuinely causing me most psychic pain, but the profusion of gambling ads on streaming is really making me both very angry and very sad. the fuck are we doing

I used to find it really hard to go outside and meet new people, until I started intentionally hitting strangers with my car
