My bathroom scales just sent a message to my phone saying it's time to weigh myself. Joke's on you scales, I am 100km away from you right now. (I don't believe it's necessarily emotionally healthy to weigh yourself every morning anyway - 2x a week is quite sufficient)

Counterpoint to Rubio: guilt and shame are both good things to be shackled by if you have done things you should be guilty about and ashamed of. Do you know who isnât shackled by guilt and shame? A psychopath.

I've been putting off renewing my British passport because the old expired one has 'European Union' on it, but with the new UK passport rules for dual citizens (I have to travel on my British passport if visiting the UK) it's finally time. Anyone know if you get your old one back?

Just saw a post talking about sending Trump et al 'to the Hague' and oh my sweet summer child I have some things to tell you about the US and the ICC, i.e. that the US hasn't ratified the Rome statute and refuses to co-operate - yes, even the Dems haven't. Trump ain't going to the Hague.

I asked ChatGPT to come up with some satirical headlines in the style of Adrian Chiles (who writes for the Graun and is not-so-incidentally the spouse of the editor Kath Viner) and honestly if someone's job should be taken by AI it's his. Some examples in the thread.
