essentially repeating @jamesdaustin.bsky.social's point that people say they want a nice high street and yet aren't using their high street, in order to add: people need to also actively choose to spend more in brick and mortar shops than they would online, even if it feels unfair!

I did the face thing so I can get DMs now. Excited to receive the flood of messages I assume you’ve all been waiting to send

Something wonderfully ironic about this announcement coming from the most terminally online person in Westminster.

I wonder what Londoners know that the rest of the country don’t?

Oh no that wasn’t the idea www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Cannot recommend this highly enough

(woman who's only read her own Harry Potter books) I'm getting some real Harry Potter vibes from this Iranian political rebellion

If you shoot a woman in the face because her wife implies you're tubby, and then after murdering her call her a fucking bitch, you've dehumanised yourself.

I think it's very important that Rupert Lowe's "Million Nonce March" gets widespread media coverage. Critical to amplify diverse voices.

Path pretty simple from here: -Trump invades Greenland -NATO expels U.S. -Remaining NATO nations declare war on U.S. -Nuclear standoff -Frank Sinatra returns from the grave and tells Trump to "knock it off" -Zombie Frank Sinatra greeted as liberator -President Sinatra -New golden age of martinis

It's as clear as day watching the video filmed by the Ice officer who shot Renée Good, that he killed her in rage after feeling mocked by her partner. That's what this USA administration has enabled & defending. Also the the implicit message is: if you fancy doing a murder with impunity, join Ice.

The evidence is increasingly pointing to the probability that an ICE agent killed a woman after misreading her as a threat because he was distracted by his simultaneous effort to record her so he could upload her image to a facial recognition database.

For a script, looking for any good articles about people in their 30s and their relationship to art (like paintings hanging in a gallery type of art)

Win elections with this one weird trick: Govern well.

So here's my unsolicited, probably ill thought-out AI musing: Generative AI was a tool invented out of unnecessity, a classic could/should Goldblum scenario. It's the Jurassic Park of computing. A solution in need of a problem.

Final Best of 2025 for RHLSTP today. Loads of funny clips. Share this with a newbie and help keep my podcast's head above water in an increasingly competitive medium! shows.acast.com/rhlstp/episo... Lots of live shows coming up - some great guests already announced richardherring.com/rhlstp

Doing my head in that the people who were against big government interference in people’s lives, and tyranny, and authoritarianism, have just embraced all those things

two posts on here sort of combined for me for a second and i just... i just really, really want Werner Herzog to be on Taskmaster

i firmly believe — like you would have to give me hard evidence to convince me otherwise — that they feed trump a steady diet of AI slop

It's telling that you say "I don't think masked thugs should be murdering innocent people in broad daylight" and Republicans start jumping up and down yelling "I guess we can't have law enforcement then." Do you hear yourself

silly me

Back in the present, I still have the instinctive urge to preface what I’m about to write with something along the lines of “obviously this is not the 1930s”. That, though, is getting harder to say with any conviction with every month that goes by....

Not to dunk on this particular MP, but *come on*.

it is the policy of this government to treat democratic-led states as conquered territories and the people therein as something like hostiles or even enemy combatants

Raju: The Speaker and others have said that this driver was weaponizing her vehicle. AOC: Their editorializing of this event to justify a public murder is disgusting. It is horrifying. Watch it for yourself and make that assessment for yourself on which of these leaders are lying to you.

This is AFTER the murder earlier in the day. They followed up a cold-blooded murder with a literal attack on a high school

THIS IS A SCHOOL, WHY ARE THEY SHOOTING

Only watch if you feel comfortable doing so. But, this clearly shows exactly what happened

Just seen Grok putting the body of the victim of the ICE shooting in Minneapolis into a bikini. Digital corpse desecration now available to the public.

the administration is lying www.nytimes.com/video/us/100...

Grok has put a bikini on one of the dead victims of the recent Swiss fire ! It's probably the most appalling thing I've seen... 🤬

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

"Based on the attached clip, it is hard to believe he is alive, but is now recovering in the hospital." Recovering from shitting his pants?

This is interesting because when I went for my first Covid vaccination, Farage arrived and pushed straight to the front of the queue.

When a cop murdered my big brother at a road block 21 years ago, their post-facto justification was that he tried to run over a cop. His foot released the brake after the officer shot him in the chest, and the car bumped an officer.

"A doctor at the scene attempted to help the woman who was shot, but was kept away by federal agents. When an ambulance finally arrived, it was blocked from reaching her by law-enforcement vehicles, and paramedics had to reach her on foot. The woman has died." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

NEW: MAYOR FREY: “They are already trying to spin this as an act of self defense. I’ve seen the video myself and I want to tell everybody directly; that is bullshit.”

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

I just started this yesterday it really is the best damn show nobody’s watching (Tbf we only just got in the UK but still, start watching it now!)
