How do you accidentally take a car? Was it just sat there parked with the keys in the ignition?

Pretty sure it is Shotcrete - not Shockcrete. So called because you use a gun (hose) to shoot (spray) it against walls, rather than using conventional formwork.

Blue Labour showing just how weird they actually are. Point 4 is particularly interesting...

If you are thinking you don't know who this guy is, or what Green Onions is, you almost certainly do know it - you just don't know the name.

Why would we want to pay money for that?

Next level brain rot… Outsourcing your basic thoughts and knowledge to big corporations - what could possibly go wrong: "He consults AI for marriage and parenting advice, and when he goes grocery shopping, he takes photos of the fruits to ask if they are ripe. " www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Unfortunately as GB News put this explicit racist incitement on its YouTube channel Ofcom can't touch it. Labour needs to plug this gap. Any licensed UK broadcaster must be regulated on its online-only output as their TV channel will be directing people right to it

Make who had makeup studio installed at the Pentagon rants about the press having air conditioned offices.

WTF did I just watch?

Right

i will never tire of this meme

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

For someone who is insistent he isn't racist, he sure likes hanging out with racists.

There's only one thing worse than messing up the usual Myki card 15 minute walk through/Change Of Mind feature, and that's the knee-jerk reaction to say they'll leave fare gates open for the benefit of a vanishingly tiny number of people. www.hepburnadvocate.... #MetroTunnel

Learning from Gerald Ratner.

Technically both could involve use of a turkey baster...

Heaven forfend a woman wear the same outfit twice.

Oh dear, God, Hannan said something sensible.

Mistake number 1 - hiring Accenture for a website redesign.

116 legal and policy experts have now opposed Labor’s new powers for police to recommend cutting payments from people without them even having been convicted of a crime. Cops shouldn’t be anywhere near welfare law and Labor should withdraw this amendment. www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/treat...

What sheep know about the benefits of wind turbines that Australia's National Party doesn't

Today I learned that LA was originally called El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula. (Which translates to: The Town of Our Lady Queen of the Angels of the Porciúncula River) Why did they shorten it?

"there was a young man with a dream of making methamphetamine ...

Why am I not even shocked: WhatsApp messages have revealed how Nathan Gill, a prominent MEP for Nigel Farage's Brexit Party took bribes as part of a pro-Russian influence campaign in the European Parliament. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The process by which the asbestos in play sand was discovered and then reported to the authorities doesn't inspire confidence that a similar incident wouldn't go undetected. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

She's come a long way from the young teen singing on TV. OTOH, she also sang at Rupert Murdoch's wedding, so maybe it's a return to her roots.

Do they extend this same benefit of the doubt / scope for interpretation to stuff that Democrats say?

Another good blog post that was called out in @thesizzle.com.au yesterday: huijzer.xyz/posts/123/do...

lol, imagine distributing bigoted material against your own cultural group for a piddly amount of money.

The probability on this seems fairly low? 'Mr Ryan said Gareth, Stacey and Nathaniel each had an "undiagnosed and untreated psychotic illness".'

Wow, that is spinning absurdity to an impressive level 🤢

This will interest @columnist.bsky.social The limits of LLMs

Love the attention to detail in the levels of recursion going on here.

1. This is going to turn into absolute chaos. 2. Why are they doing it before the ban starts? 3. Why can't they just lock / make private the accounts rather than deleting them?

Non British are no longer allowed to enjoy themselves in the Daily Mail worldview...

Nostalgia for memes is now a thing www.wired.com/story/the-gr...

“If you speak out in defense of judicial independence only to protect judges (or justices) who rule the way you want them to, then I respectfully submit that your definition of judicial independence is bollocks.” Me in today’s “One First” on the Trump administration’s “war” on lower-court judges:

The reason we have laws* against bribery is that companies will absolutely bribe politicians at the very first opportunity if it is good for the bottom line, because they see it as a sound business decision, not a civilizational betrayal. /1

High end art market price inflation is insane. In 1985, the then most expensive Artwork sold was Andrea Mantegna's Adoration of the Magi for $12 million. What else has gone up by 2,000% in 40 years?

Just had an email from the "Gouvernment Gateway"...

Writing about the government’s latest policy announcement and, as usual, torn between three angles: morally awful, politically foolish, and probably unworkable. Something for everyone there

Please let it be a giant Wile E. Coyote (although he probably lives at Wiley Park station TBH).

Just wilful performative cruelty that is entirely out of step with the majority of British people. How many Labour MPs got into politics in order to vote for stealing jewellery off of people seeking refuge from war and persecution?

Turns out it is not that easy to fire someone into the sun.

WTF is this person doing in the UK Labour Party?

What is wrong with the UK government. Can't they focus on the actual problems rather than whatever Farage is chuntering about?

"Why does a potent portion of the American right seek to rehabilitate Hitler? [...] Carlson and his fellow travelers on the far right correctly identify the Second World War as a pivot point in America’s understanding of itself and its attitude toward its Jewish citizens.”
