Worth keeping an eye on this story. It’s early days but I can see the “I Support Palestine Action” crowd looking a bit silly soon. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I hope people realise AI isn't going away if the AI bubble bursts, any more than the internet went away when the dotcom bubble burst.

View from the very apolitical mid-thirties guys in my office today - I guess you need to have controls, but you can’t help feeling sorry for the migrants and don’t we need some of them anyway?

This (and the rest of this thread) is a beautiful tonic.

Shameless

Oh ffs

Good morning

Please, just a little bit of child poverty reduced and a nicer public realm, for a treat

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

These labour MPs who would rather collapse public services than raise taxes, how did they end up in the labour party?

“One longtime Westminster veteran suggested that given the number of scandals around sexual harassment, assault and bullying around government and parliament, it would be better “if everyone brought less of their whole selves” to work, stressing the importance of boundaries instead.”

Post me from a different era: that’s me on the right when I had long hair. Must have been 1998/99’ish? Sat outside Chancellors bar on campus at Surrey Uni.

This story is absolutely nuts! Worth a read.

Once wondered why the sand under the disposable bbq on the beach had gone an orangey colour. I picked up a handful to investigate.

Yes, so good. Here’s Sally’s post on Instagram about it.

I love this absolutely goofball of a cat so much!

To be clear a bunch of thugs attacked Brighton Conference Centre and caused tens of thousands of £ of damage because women dared to hold a conference on rape, DV, femicide, porn etc. if you think this is anything other than rank misogyny you’re an idiot and probably an abuser.

The replies to this post are even worse than I thought they’d be. Lots of whataboutery (which I expected) but also a lot of people who are explicitly saying they don’t care.

Once thought I’d been offered a free ticket to one of his gigs. Turned it down and was surprised that my friend was doing as she didn’t seem the type to like his comedy. She’s more into music. Only later did I realise I’d turned down a free ticket to a Jack White gig.
