Nish was right to go after Jimmy Carr. It's incomprehensible how he defended Peterson who is responsible for so much toxicity with his pseudo intellectualism. www.theguardian.com/stage/2026/m...

This is the reverse problem to porn site verification. I'm sure countermeasures like shaving, makeup, facial expressions will tip the AI into a false positive in some cases. www.bbc.com/news/article...

This has to be the dumbest corporate self-own ever www.bbc.com/news/article...

One wonders how he could be the "best boss ever". www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ma...

The least qualified and certainly most inept FBI director is also a drunk according to reports www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Watched the first two episodes of The Boys and it has a Game of Thrones final season vibe to it. Sloppily written scenes that only seem to exist to cancel out previous plot lines.

Some rules about evil subscription services are better than nothing but why aren't they requiring the sign up process to ask users to affirmatively opt into autorenewal with no penalty if they choose no? www.bbc.com/news/article...

Somehow I've avoided using Python all my career so I thought I'd do some code in it to see if I've missed out and the answer is no, no I haven't. I like indentation = scope but everything else feels simplistic & becomes a mess of annotations & kludges when modules & classes are added.

This abomination appears on the dessert menu of so many restaurants and is a sign they don't give a fuck. Half the stuff they sell is out of a freezer bag.

These Lord of the Rings spinoffs are getting more contrived and pointless with each outing. I'm sure Colbert will do his best but it still doesn't justify it existing as a thing in the first place.

Who are the people buying this shit? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Influencers are drinking benzene and goading lions. Should you?" www.theguardian.com/global/2026/...

Where the "security reasons" are Farage extolling far right causes for cash thinking his videos would never be in the public eye. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I swear DPD has the absolute worst online presence of any courier service. Multiple websites across different countries and none of them can track packages coherently.

Daily Express competing for most moronic front page of the year.

Peter Mandelson must be pretty concerned by developments today.

So Andrew Mountbatten just got arrested. How the mighty have fallen.

I wonder if modern AIs have any problems with identifying crosswalks or traffic lights. So many sites rely on this crap and I suspect it's minimal protection these days.

I reported 18(!) scam ads to YouTube all using pics like this, all separate accts. I wonder how many they'll take down. Some links even lead to fake websites that scammers switch out after their accts are vetted.

I reported Honey's Firefox add-on for the evil stuff documented in the video below. I got a response affirming that Firefox has "requested changes" but really they should disable and delist it right now pending those changes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCGT...

I wonder why Windows 11 even asks if I want to update and shutdown when it's going to restart anyway.

Got a scam automated "hello can you hear me" scam call from Latvia today. Different text and voice than I'm used to. Still not sure what the purpose is other than to verify somebody answers which isn't much.

Bad enough she takes bribes but I hope the Moonies are getting prosecuted too for such a brazen scheme. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Bill Browder wrote an entire book called "Red Notice" about this very tactic. www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Ig Nobel committee should award Trump a special prize for peace, for threatening violence because he wouldn't get a peace prize.

Sounds like Elon is butthurt that Ryanair, a notoriously budget airline sees no business case for installing Starlink on its mostly shorthaul flights. www.bbc.com/news/article...

An incredible display of obsequiousness. Makes her unfit to rule. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Last time this happened Qatar airways & Doha airport demonstrated sheer incompetence when every flight got cancelled the next day. Its like they didn't have any contingency to deal with the situation and staff were hopeless. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Scott Adams spent the latter part of his life shitting all over his reputation. Kind of sad he would rather be remembered as an angry self-centred asshole, than a cartoonist but oh well.

A kitchen robot seems like the ultimate in buyer's remorse. A crappy kitchen gadget which doesn't even have the good grace to be easy to stuff into a cupboard forever when its uselessness becomes obvious. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If the UK wants to send a message to Twitter, then close every single government account and federate them on Bluesky and/or Mastodon. Reclaim digital sovereignty and leave that cesspit.

People his age would be on warfarin www.bbc.com/news/article...

This property developer sounds like he's just tapping into a rich seam of gullible idiots. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Starbucks spammed to let me know they're serving "pistachio velvet oat latte" and all I can wonder is what circle of hell their product research department resides on.

A newspaper headline which is an obvious lie

Every single day YouTube recommends me AI garbage videos. They usually have < 100 views. What does it say that I can recognize this stuff almost from the screenshot and block it, yet YouTube can't or stop facilitating this shit in the first place.

The next generation of hipsters has arrived. Expect CDs to receive a 2x markup. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I've never thought of boxing as having a "democratic dream". It's two people punching each other for money in front of a baying crowd. The biggest disappointment is seeing Netflix waste subscriber money on this shit. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/d...

The rendition of this proposed Universal Studios UK park makes it look pathetically small. Maybe a couple of roller coaster rides, a handful of dark rides, an arena and that's your lot. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Sarkozy's incarceration (with fridge and TV + bodyguard protection) is better that any other convict with similar terms but he's having a sad and we should feel sad for him too according to him. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Of course Farage was racist at school. There are contemporary letters by teachers opposing his being made prefect. Nothing has changed since, he's just better at using euphemisms. www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

I notice a lot of AI slop YouTube has started using a grainy dirty filter for some reason. Even on digital footage. Seeing it in the preview window is surefire sign it's slop.

A YouTube ad - "buy our coin battery operated widget and it will defrost your entire car!". If I bothered to report this obvious scam I bet it would be rejected like every other time.

Surely Ticketmaster being a monopoly is also a massive issue? Maybe ban Ticketmaster from entering exclusivity deals with promoters & venues without competitive tender, and other forms of tying that allow them to monopolize ticket sales. www.bbc.com/news/article...

YouTube is filled with AI slop. I've had dozens of recommendations for fake / clickbait history, court TV, police interactions and an assortment of other shit which is obviously AI and there is no way to report any of it.
