Saw a full on nationalist white van earlier. Back was a full coverage picture of armoured crusaders brandishing swords and St George Cross shields, sides were Spitfires, everything else was flags and "St George". Fact it was a Mercedes slightly spoiled the British is Best feel

Well this will be an interesting day down t'take mines

Not a word has come from this government, for a month, about Racist attacks in Britain: graffiti & intimidation The sewer of racism online These racist attacks on government ministers The world's richest man promoting fascists who want to eradicate minorities from the UK

Sometimes you find a musician doing something so specific so well it feels like they definitely made a deal with the devil, and doing this with an accordion is one of those times

Programming has a fine tradition of fired people massively inflating their charges when hired back as contractors to fix things the company didn't realise were important, and I recommend this tactic to everyone AI has done the below to

You can't even buy a kit car these days. Because of Moke

Why is it always a problem when people are "out of touch" with racists but never when racists are "out of touch" with people who aren't arseholes

I just learned of the UK's smallest bat, the Soprano Pipistrelle, which is just the greatest name for an animal ever

If all the energy and alleged Pride in Their Country went towards picking up some fucking litter rather than driving round sticking up some shit polyester flags that are already disintegrating maybe England would look a bit nicer already

Is there some kind of racist flag thing at the moment? On way back from holiday and saw a bloke hanging union jacks on a motorway bridge and then saw several more bridges with Poundland UJs and St George crosses

Rereading Sherlock Holmes for the nth time and struck, as I always am by the utter idiocy of Alexander Holder, the banker who entrusted with an irreplaceable jewel of the empire decided the bank's safe was too risky so took it home, stuck it in an old desk and told everyone where it was

I tried so hard To get all the light fittings in my house to take the same type of bulb But in the end It didn't even matter

AI is brilliant and perfect and going to save us all but conversely, if I ask Google to "play my summer playlist" which is a playlist, of mine, called "Summer", it tries to play everything BUT that, and also it can't seem to fraps that if you ask for directions, you mean "in Maps"

Imagine, if you will, a universe exactly the same as ours, except that instead of the guitar being ubiquitous in popular music, it's the accordion

Latest Pixel update has taken away the actually useful "perspective correct" tool in Photos and added loads of "invent shit that wasn't there" tools instead and I am so done with the "AI literally everything" mindset.

I have no idea what the purpose of this info sheet that came with my TV is. It's telling me which of the reg, green, yellow and blue buttons are red , green yellow and blue. The dots don't appear on the remote or anywhere in the instruction manual. There are no raised bits to match. Please help

The weird AI suggestion thing I didn't ask for and don't want on the Android Facebook app can be unintentionally funny I guess

TFW you have promised things to 4 people for today just to get them off your back but actually you really only have time for a, maybe 2 of those things, and you curse your past self for this entirely predictable outcome

Some people will tell you that you can't redesign mermaids to have more fish DNA. Those people are losers and charlatans

I'm not saying that the daughter's school having a module on gothic writing had unforeseen consequences, but I'm not NOT saying that

"You get that letter to the Prime Minister of Japan?" "Sure did boss, real fuckin stupid like you asked"
