Glad to see Apple finally catching up with the times and canning the old 5.25" Mac mini, and replacing it with a new modern 3.5" version.

In the movie Signs it is revealed that the aliens who invaded earth, a planet that is 70% water, where water rains from the sky and lingers in the very air itself, are allergic to water. Something they apparently didn't consider before landing. Anyway, Iran sure does have a lot of drones, huh?

Roseate Spoonbill bird in flight

The UK's permission for the US to use its bases in attacking Iran amounts to complicity in the crime of aggression. It drags us into what could be an endless war, without democratic or even parliamentary consent.

asking bluesky “what has the new york times published knowing it was false?” might as well be a cry for help

84% of the time, “ChatGPT Health” killed a customer using their paid service as advertised

“criticizeing Charles Entertainment Schumer is anti-semi-“ You bolt awake in China in December of 1850. You are Hong Xiuquan, and you have changed your mind. The future must not come to pass. The Qing Dynasty must be overthrown.

a short breakdown of the process of making that tiny lego car with my tired old voice narrating:

Kicked off St David's Day watching Superted's 1980s road safety videos and matching them to their actual locations in Cardiff.

Labour delendo est

Seems like a thing more people should be mad about

Nobody was attacking Cyprus before he let the USAF use the base there as a staging point for their illegal strikes on *checks notes* girls schools and hospitals.

There is no decision Starmer will ever be on the right side of, he's on an incredible streak for fucking it up.

Microsoft bans the word "Microslop" on the official Copilot discord, then locks the server lol www.windowslatest.com/2026/03/02/m...

The Economist of course wants the Republicans to win again which is why they're promoting Slimey Gav so hard

Steamed Hams but it's a Kelly comic (Yup that's right I still make "Steamed Hams but..." memes) #simpsons #kelly #steamedhams

“my dog is in Dubai”

“We cannot say that the United States’ actions are against international law, but we condemn Iran’s retaliatory actions as against international law,” is neither a coherent nor a compelling position.

Mr. S: You know why they're Scottish Widows? Me: Go on ... Mr. S: Their husbands got kilt.

I've been saying for nearly 10 years that it was a huge mistake to take a particular set of conditions that existed between about 1955 and about 1988, give them a name like "the housing ladder" and treat them as a fundamental economic and social fact.

Four Goosanders chasing another that had caught a big fish. The 30 seconds of chaos surrounding this was something to behold! Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #FourOrMore, captures of 4 or more birds in 1 photo. #Birds #Wildlife #Nature #BirdPhotography #UKBirds

Well if the May locals weren't already set to be a car crash for #Labour, they are now. People don't like Britain being dragged into war on America's coat-tails - at the behest of Israel - as if Starmer is a servant, and the rest of us only exist to provide the money &, if necessary, the blood.

it is so stupid that our industry has gone on as long as it has without any serious contenders to the AAA space opera game throne. the actual best space opera aaa game is star wars outlaws, and that's a star wars game same with westerns. seriously? all we have is the red deads? what are we doing

On the flip side, if enough people bet on "Trump to live until at least March 3rd" someone in the white house will put a large stake on the opposite position and he'll be mysteriously dead by tomorrow night

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default “I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

this is not aimed at anyone specific, but I'm really not here for the "it's unnatural!" argument against engineered milk and other animal substitutes, or practices like genetically engineered chickens that produce 99% female eggs. the modern food industry is an *industry* - cute farm images are PR.

Years ago in another life I gave a guest lecture at The Hague warning “AI weapons” could be invoked to remove accountability for war crimes from the chain of command. I said “there are no autonomous weapons, only unsupervised ones,” and sadly it seems I was cooking with that one

He's in your bins again!!

Scottish folks: can you give me accurate, sourced examples of the BBC failing in terms of its coverage of Scotland please? In both news, documentary, drama, lifestyle: the whole gamut of its output? I’m putting together a piece on the BBC in Scotland and would love to hear your well-sourced thoughts

Starmer should respond to Farage's open racism by following Scotland's example and extending the vote to everyone with residency in status

Last night I watched a video of a group of US soldiers in Bahrain watching a strike hit their base, gawping and yucking like Goofy at just a fraction of the horror and carnage they inflict upon the world unfolding before them like a fireworks show; a spectacle. And doesn’t that sum it up.

Working class includes migrant workers, it includes people from minorities who were born in Britain but have family ties abroad, it includes people who work but aren't racist. Contrary to the majority of British political discourse.

Yet again it's really obvious that if Labour actually want to prevent Reform from being in power then Labour need to swallow their pride and use the last parliamentary majority they'll ever have to bring in PR

People keep suggesting this war is about hiding what's in the files rather than being entirely in character with and indicative of the callous disregard for life and wellbeing of the vulnerable you can expect to find in the files. It's not 8 dimensional chess. He's just a global tier dickhead.

Bari Weiss’s list of cancelled public figures is a Who’s Who of men emailing Jeffrey Epstein, which should immediately explain what all of that cancel culture shit was about from day one.

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

“Almost all of the most viral posts reviewed by WIRED on Saturday came from accounts with blue check marks, meaning they…could be eligible to earn money based on how much engagement their posts generate, even if the content is false.” From @davidgilbert.bsky.social

Remembering that time they toppled Saddam Hussein and then everything in Iraq was suddenly chill and peace reigned supreme with blessedly little political fallout (The destabilisation of Iraq led to refugee migration in the millions, millions dead, spawned new even more evil terrorist groups)

Funny how the puberty blockers trial gets paused, and then we find out there's a transphobe pulling the strings once again. Trans research needs to be trans led. Putting transphobes like Cass and this MHRA weirdo in charge is deeply unethical.

pole 2 is probably still my favourite ever manifestation of ‘dub techno’. it’s really not techno at all, just an evolution of dub which still hasn’t seen its full ramifications https://pole-stefanbetke.bandcamp.com/track/fahren-3
