Gordon should probably be careful to check if his mic's transmitting, he's gonna be working with quite a few bigoted women this time around

And if you were inventing it, you might also stick Your Party at the bottom as the only clear loser just for a laugh

This is Tyseley and Hay Mills ward in Birmingham. Pretty much a perfect five-way split in a "first-past-the-post" election. If you invented this as an example of FPTP's shortcomings it would seem laughably extreme.

We're taking FPTP to bold new exciting places.

What?

Remember...

Morning! Let’s all do our best today not to vote for racists.

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

MUPPET WICKER MAN (Brian Henson, 1993) Police Sergeant Kermie travels to the isolated town of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. He finds the locals to be a surly and suspicious lot, rustic practitioners of crude bawdiness and Celtic neo-paganism. Starring Vincent Price as Lord Summerisle.

They tried to reverse the bus and it became a sub

If anything connected to the current White House was ever a "false flag" then you'd easily be able to tell by looking at Polymarket

Mad fact... 42% of Labour Prime Ministers have had to fire Peter Mandelson.

The Accursèd Alphabetical Clock. “This clock displays the current time alphabetically.” Totally deranged…I love it. [boat.horse]

I'm not sure my French is good enough to understand the full subtleties of Libé's review of the Michael Jackson biopic

Prime Ministers who demand that they are brought solutions not problems, end up being presented with even bigger problems.

It's going to be even worse the next time they appoint Peter Mandelson

Hey the Times, I quit a political party over trans issues and have a book to promote, can I have a front page spread? Oh, that’s only reserved for transphobes and not trans people? Never mind.

Now McCalliog is a poultryman who walks many a mile And he also does some admin work for Devon CID But admin work is wasted on a man who has the gift Nail crooks in minutes with McCalliog and His Hens

When the seagulls follow the trawler, it's because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea

We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

The story so far: in the beginning the universe was created. This has made a lot of people very unhappy and been widely regarded as a bad move.

God said to Abraham, "Kill me a son" Abe said, "Man, you must be puttin' me on" God said, "No" Abe say, "What?"

Route 70 stumbles toward the Sefton Park Road stop with a 13-minute handicap. This outbound Volvo B9TL wears citylines 24 colours, perhaps hoping the disguise might excuse its late arrival in Bishopston.

Can confirm. Overheard a middle schooler telling her friends, “nah forget him, he’s AI” about a boy who asked one of them out

This does raise the horrifying prospect that someone might rub a software update and we're going to end up with a spaceship with Copilot on it. And thanks to the documentary "2001: A Space Odyssey" we know how that ends.

LSMP was charming for a few minutes. I'll never love Rockin' the Suburbs like I love the first Ben Folds Five album but this was an easy vote for it.

hello 👋 i have developed a new tool called blüuümpíi. blüuümpíi will convert every file on your hard drive to a .wav file without asking you, maximize your system volume, and play them on every bluetooth speaker you have ever connected to. if you offer feedback on blüuümpíi i will take legal action

We can never let Donald Trump think about the Concorde jet. He’ll replace every plane with them. “The incredible Concorde, New York to Boston in fifteen minutes - can you believe it? - they’re saying it’s the fastest plane in the world,” every airport sounds like a drum and bass concert

A lot of people clap and cheer at Arkell v Pressdram style legal letters. But the most deadly legal letters are calm and polite, and this one is lethal.

Shrug... Might toss a coin.

I have no idea whether Iowa is any good or not. I lasted about five songs, bewildered. YHF is.. fine? I bought it at the time but have barely listened to it since. "Radio Cure" was covered on one of my favourite albums of the 00s, For All I Care by the Bad Plus. Voted YHF.

Like an AI bot, Trump will come up with a form of words to meet a given situation. These words will not correspond to reality, but they will be words that have worked before. Here his personal language model selects “in negotiations” as something to say to get of this situation, and so he says it.

I grew up in this community and I have a few thoughts I want to share. A short thread. www.jewishnews.co.uk/breaking-hat...

turns out there may be some downsides to encouraging everyone to bet on everything at any time over the internet??

Forever my favorite Ides take: “Julius Caesar, popular Roman leader and author, dies at the age of 55 surrounded by friends.”

On today’s episode of Cartoonishly Overt Sign We’re the Baddies: they’re taking the olive branch off the dime because it presents peace

On the bus home from the @bristolrail.bsky.social AGM. As well as the essential business there was an interesting presentation from three representatives of GWR and, once they'd left, a very interesting contribution from the local ASLEF chair.

If you are the person who hangs the Happy Birthday James Taylor banner on the James Taylor Bridge every year, please email us.

Long shot, but does anyone know of any regular art/craft/illustration type evenings in Bristol? Something not too formal, a chance to hang out with people as much as anything. Asking (genuinely) for a friend.

BOY DO I HAVE A STORY ABOUT THIS. STRAP IN, FOLKS. A few years back, my retired father replaced all the light switches in his house with smart switches that he could activate by talking to Alexa. It was a useful accommodation for an elderly man who gets dizzy when he stands up. That is, until...

At this point, honestly, what are "Labour values" apart from a truly sadistic adherence to "hard choices" that always come crashing down on the most vulnerable?

Where on earth are we going to house 240,000 British tax dodgers returning from Dubai?
