Successful roast, even if the experimental bit of tomato paste in the gravy did make it a bit pinkish

Just to recap, the actual president found an AI-generated video of a fake news report depicting a fake announcement about an imaginary healthcare system based on a technology that doesn’t exist and posted it on his official social media account

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

Programming from BED because I refuse to put the heating on

3 weeks on and Grindr hasn't even responded to my ban appeal 😮‍💨 not sure what to do next tbh

I hope there will come a day soon where it dawns on someone in Starmer’s team that their strategy of communicating “Nigel Farage is right about everything but please vote for us instead” is fuelling these disastrous figures rather than mitigating them, but today is not that day

A short thread on digital ID (cards) just to bear in mind. There are a few myths that I keep hearing about this idea that need clarifying/debunking. 1/10

Ignoble prize for the maximal apex angle for stacking chip shop chips when

My two initial reservations on this are that, imo, galaxy/star map campaign maps are boring as hell to look at & relate to, and the sheer scale of 40k (on all axes) might make it incomprehensible to squeeze into anything resembling a TW game. But bring on the psykers ⚡

It is pretty noticeable that even as mainstream opinion on Israel and Gaza finally shifts, you don’t hear the Responsible Adults apologizing for punishing all the college kids protesting the atrocities. Quite the opposite in fact!

Letting agents were due to inspect and photograph every inch of our home today for a landlord report. Did they have the decency to confirm they'd even visited? Did they heck.

Our commercial landlords doubled our rent overnight two years ago, because they could. Landlords won't reduce rents even on empty units because usually the property (which is often a pension investment) is valued by potential rentable return. So they stay empty and rents stay high.

So basically the problem about britain’s decaying town centres like so many issues in this UK comes back to : Landlords and the unshakeable belief that property values and rents must increase amirite

Everything's coming up Worstie

Stayed up too late playing Peak 🥲

I'm so Blue Prince pilled. Immediately interpreted this as a True statement and noted that the different font is going to be relevant at some point

Important: there is a pub in Holborn where a cat wears a ruff. His name is The General

There's a reason PM Tony Blair is an anagram of 'I'm Tory plan B'

At the risk of repeating myself: there’s no bargaining with these people. What they’re calling for now is mass expulsions of long-term residents deemed insufficiently economically productive. There’s no way these demands won’t get even more extreme by election time.

Is it just me or is there a sore throat bug going around atm? Pretty fine otherwise, but it's painful!

LRT: Everyone falls into the same rhetoric, regardless of its effectiveness, and once again the overton window lurches rightward

Lib Dems also falling into the bullshit of "if we resolve the asylum backlog efficiently, we defeat Reform". Reform don't care about the 'asylum backlog' outside of it being a tool. It could be 0 people and it wouldn't matter as long as there are people of colour in the UK. That is the end goal.

It's been bad for a while but it really feels the bad news coming out of the USA has gone up a notch the past few weeks

DEAR LIZ HAVING A FAB TIME. WENT TO GUILDFORD CATHEDRAL TODAY IT WAS GOOD. ON MONDAY I FAINTED I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT IT WHEN I GET HOME GIVE THE GIRLS MY LOVE TELL SUSAN I AM LOOKING FOR A DIRTY CARD FOR HER. TESSA AND ME ARE GOING TO A PARTY TONIGHT. LOVE SANDRA

The 'space egg' episode of Cabinet of Curiosities is 🔥

Finally

The “bang bus” owned by adult entertainer Bonnie Blue, visiting Oxford for Freshers’ Week, will not be eligible to pass through the High St bus gate. An Oxfordshire County Council spokesman told the Clarion: “Having taken the risk of googling Bonnie Blue’s Bang Bus, the vehicle appears to be a van.”

The bogs are broken in the office building so all the guys in the building use the ones on floor 4. Since then I often hear *weird goings on* (not the sexy kind) by my fellow boggarts - wtf are they doing‽

it must have been so hard to eat soup back before they invented the bowl. everyone burning their hands trying to hold the hot liquid... how far technology has come in the last 20 years!n

True love is when the Ethiopian food stall lady offers you extra injera 😍

It's a shame RFK Jr doesn't have the same enthusiasm for suppressing microplastics isn't it

this is your annual reminder to please take off your hetero-imitative frogskin and dance to a lesbian/gay spirit

always nice to see linehan's got a cosy lil 'free speech' sympathy piece on BBC news

I understand that it has to be removed because of theft and that it's on a listed building, but pretty petty of the Royal Courts of Justice to completely cover up the Banksy, thereby stopping anybody seeing the art in its intended context for the moment it is there.

We also managed to discover one of the top donors to Brexit and Nigel Farage is a top Tether shareholder. I fucking love my job. protos.com/bitfinex-tet... protos.com/scoop-bitfin...

First time logging into Grindr in about a month and my account is banned with no explanation 🫠 I've had that account for over a decade lol

That everything about the "2" here (the colour, the font, the fact that it's ever so slightly tilted) makes it look like a zany comedy sequel, is especially funny

NEW: An Oxford report warns that misleading media coverage is shaping public debate on immigration and human rights. The study finds the ECHR is frequently misreported in deportation cases, fueling misconceptions that erode trust in the legal system. 🧵 [1/8]

Where's this guy in Blue Prince when I need him

The term “anti-establishment” was redefined the same way as “working class.” Both now mean “person of any income, education level, or type of work who holds right-wing culture war views.” By contrast, “elites” means “holds broadly left-wing views on cultural issues.”

Someone at work yesterday casually mentioned they bought stocks in Palantir yesterday and I can't seem to stop thinking about it
