Don’t threaten me with a good time

Continuing our CRIME WEEKEND (all in captials) with an american import.

Hydration break! #SCOMAR

Truly impressive how the Scotland lads have been in America for 2 weeks without picking up even a hint of a tan #SCOMAR

If you ask young people "Would you like to get a degree for free while also being paid to work part-time?", they will say Oh Fuck Yes by the thousand. If you ask employers to take responsibility for guiding someone through several years of work/study, they will say Oh Fuck No by the thousand.

PM by monday would be a lot more effective than PM by mid September

My wife has been singing ‘Andy Burnham, Andy Burnham’ to the tune of London’s Burning.

UI means user interface and UX means user exerface

This is significant – and while the Makerfield byelection is unusual because it has such national significance, this chart indicates again that the anti-Reform bloc will vote tactically to keep them out. Source: www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Over 40% voted far right, in the popular Mayor's new seat? Jeez

Going to have to sit with a project failure for a bit. Quite ... frustrating.

Just checking the list

Doesn't care, at all, about any of it. It is weird

Accurate.

Interesting report by friends at @nestauk.bsky.social on my desk this morning. We've got far more work to do, but proud to see that parts of Scotland and Wales are massively outperforming the UK average in terms of heat pump uptake. www.nesta.org.uk/data-visuali...

Like LOADS of people who use computers every day, some actually "in IT" can barely work computers, or can be bothered to work it out. It fucking blows my mind.

72 hours ... lol, Yeah, it's good to take a weekend off

So apparently, from the feedback, it's not ok to close the interview with "basically I'm amazing" i mean what? On linkedin they said 'sell yourself'. So confused.

Also interested to know how the Labour Party was forged out of the shipyards of Belfast, given the Labour Party has never stood for government in Belfast

"So, you're now telling me that the man we hired to provide a wholesome alternative to the so-called manosphere is himself a prominent member and advocate for the so-called manosphere?"

Well, that was a fucking ride.

Ultimately, rejoining the single market is obviously in the UK's interest. It's also significantly in the EU's interest. Having the UK predominantly in the EU rather than the US sphere is strategically necessary. It doesn't take an act of great political imagination to tie those things together.

RIP Mark Rothko. You would have loved how the hydrogen peroxide bleach is only turning the Reflecting Pool blue around the perimeter

I know it's not heavy industry any more, but hiring some actual graphic designers wouldn't hurt either

Last thing for now: He never directly said the keynote was written by Claude. What he admitted was worse--an entire current book authored by AI. We were all left to infer what it meant for him to "work closely with AI" in relation to the keynote itself. And none of this was mentioned until I asked.

Going full on planet dog on the big speakers this evening... www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jse...

They aren't going to use their anti-trans playbook on the rest of the rainbow, they are already doing it.

See at first i took this literally and thought "no, the water company should not be pumping toxic waste out into the sea, so nationalise them" ...but it is about social media, and i now think maybe *those companies* should also not be pumping out toxic waste

'How a mysterious ghost ship brought cosmic disco to Cape Verde' might be one of my favourite ever headlines

Show us then

Hooray, we are real

I'm hearing that 16-17 year olds cannot drink alcohol either. Banned.

Keir Starmer: I respect the founder of The Mloly Rose Foundation and the tragic event that led to the creation of this charity for suicide prevention and safer online environments Also Keir Starmer: Guess I'll just ignore the views or recommendations put forward by the Molly Rose Foundation.

This is disgusting and this person should never have been in charge of Ofcom to begin with.

i assume banning kids from social media will be accompanied by a huge investment in teen-friendly communtiy spaces (like youth clubs) and social activities? No? Huh.

It'd be depressing at the best of times, but there is something profoundly inane about it when it comes from a prime minister who can't even drag himself off a social media site used to spread non-consensual porn and coordinate race riots.

The UK: Ban children from social media! Also the UK: Here, learn to code and create AI that can burn everything!
