age verification should just be a picture of a nokia 3310 with the question "what is this"

age verification? I'm still mad about ruby 1.9 hash syntax

age verification? I've lived through ten british prime ministers

please, starmer was born in the abyss (something something hollow knight joke)

jesus Christ

there's a lot that sucks about discord but I also genuinely don't know what I or the many community servers I'm in would replace it with for a variety of use cases

web site fall down

has he sacked streeting yet

also don't understand why they keep printing janan ganesh

still don't understand why papers just hand over column space to politicians, even if their own writing does make them look incredibly bad

I mean he's not wrong but in his specific case it was more a case of "why wes streeting in particular" and he scraped in by 500 votes

I see

age verification is functionally a huge security hazard for _all_ internet users but the government will call you a danger to children if you point this out

excited for our next prime minister, a literal sack full of rats

please let's have this mutiny get wes streeting fired

this is gonna be all anyone is going to talk about until it happens, he's gone by the end of the week

lmao

has he given his big speech yet

"wes streeting is a skilled media performer" no he isn't that isn't true

guy next to me at the gym is video calling his gf so she can watch him work out while she is driving

just learning that no10 had a comms director

wouldn't it be fun if we ever got to find out who gave these quotes

the bungs wrangler? surely not

please make it stop

live performance of the Tunic score tonight

your party is an op to serve the argument that technically it is possible to run a party even more incompetently than starmer has done

he's quit? mcsweeney quit? is there a single thing keir starmer can actually do?

amping up far right politics because it is profitable is also the business model of several large news organisations

we were sold a keir starmer that was the perfect image of decency and competence: forensically opposing brexit, promoting broadly liberal values, confronting left wing racism, and excoriating the corruption and chaos of the tories

not stonks

I had completely forgotten about this and had to dig out what it referred to but mandelson supposedly rented a flat from one of the guys behind the coup in equatorial guinea www.theguardian.com/politics/200...

a stream of total nonsense striving to give the the appearance of something authentically american, jd vance is the vice president of the united states

I couldn't believe the times magazine are running a flattering cover story on him tomorrow but he's done the one thing that could possibly have made it funnier

was gonna say a. that's not how it works and b. the manifesto was so insubstantial you could follow it with almost anything but then I remembered it was 50% photos of keir starmer by volume so yeah fair enough

this reminds me I watched @zandravandra.com 's void stranger playthrough and liked her term for a key type of moment in these games: "you always could"

feel like this has been known for ages, but also, I'd assume this is worse *from a functionality point of view* than them being fully autonomous. you don't want hard-real-time safety-critical control relying on the internet even with best-case latency

seeing "cairn" is mostly making me want to replay "jusant" but on the non-existent steam machine so it runs better

how's this coming along. hearing the PLP are running with "keir has been rocked to his very core to discover politicians are dishonest. no I don't remember him being LOTO during the boris era. forensic and so on"

Politic's is back baby. It's good again. A woo woo woo

I don't understand why git even has `patch` or why it's the way its own dev team transfers changes when git has a *much* more reliable, efficient and correct way to transfer and merge changes baked into its data model

along with this we ought to ask some questions about why it is, as various journos have posted this week, that it was possible for mandelson to silence them by threatening to call their boss and have them fired

exactly; the idea that vetting somebody for *ambassador to washington* involves only interviewing them and conducting no other investigation of their claims is obviously not true

hey was there any way of telling this was a bad choice at the time

good morning has starmer resigned yet

are people still doing that marie kondo thing or

oh no my apes

who called them visual novels and not eshop's fables

look if nothing else we're learning those huge email disclosure notices don't do anything

who called them visual novels and not eshop's fables

chris mason: [inaudible follow up question] starmer: look, we're moving forward as a country jesus christ man
