there is never a bad time to use this phrase in shopping list text conversations

Chalk up a win for @weratedogs.com

a very persistent thing on here is poster a: untrue claim about a political figure - often a justly dislikable or objectionable one poster b: correction of untrue claim poster a: oh so you support them it's part of the general comprehension collapse but it's a distinct dynamic.

When your name is all over the Epstein files, but you don’t want your reputation tarnished by being associated with Glinner

No wonder he needs extra money for security!

Ban these things they are already being used to target women.

Roses are red, So are some others…

There's a guy in the cafe I'm working in who looks and sounds exactly like a West Midlands Rowley Birkin QC. Uncannily so, in fact. He's mumbling away to his wife, and very few words are audible, but - no joke of a lie just included....

One episode in and this is so so so good. I like Detectorists OK, but it's so talcum powder soft and smooth you really have to be in the mood. But this is McKenzie Crook Ordinary England Whimsy with a lot more bite. Really hope it stays the course. Lovely early 00s nu folk vibe too.

this fact will never not cheer me up "YOU GOTTA BEE ON A YOU 'AT"

At the same time Nick Fuentes is talking about "breeding gulags" no less. Any journalist with one iota of gumption would ask Farage / Goodwin both why they're echoing the rhetoric of the American extreme right and ask if they are supporters of Fuentes specifically. Make the fuckers deny it. Anyone?

This tech is pretty common now but I don't think people fully understand what it means that anyone including police can use it www.404media.co/cops-are-buy...

denialism ends up with the same tropes no matter what end of the political spectrum it comes from; this was literally a popular line among Holocaust deniers after the war, "if the Jews were killed why are there so many of them in London?"

This is an excellent long read on "brittle" Matt Goodwin from last year. Had no idea he'd written his PhD thesis on the BNP. www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/philos...

Anthropic head of AI safety quits, warning of "world in peril" & announces plan to study creative writing, as my college charges ahead in deal with Anthropic, which trained its tech on at least 25 books taken without permission from our Creative Writing faculty. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Right, another key thing that historians do is working with important records that have not been digitized. And the vast majority of the world’s records *have not been digitized* and thus do not exist in any format that LLMs/AI can work with.

Do you think it's a coincidence that the surfacing of "a secret third thing" in our daily chitchat coincided with the mass adoption of air fryers? I don't.

So fucking weird. "We need more teenage pregnancy and more single mums" isn't an angle I would have seen the right wing come up with back in John Major's day.

If there's one important thing that Prof. Brian Cox teaches us, it's that you should never, ever trust someone who has a "signature haircut".

LITERALLY HOW. IT'S FUCKING BEER

Update: FAMU says banning the word Black from a law student’s Black History Month flyer was a mistake, and the result of an “overly cautious interpretation” of Florida law www.orlandosentinel.com/2026/02/10/b...

These Nazi weirdos can't help themselves. The abuse is baked in. Ultimately they will fail, because when their targets ARE the National Trust and the RNLI, and they start coming out with creepy, coercive stuff like this, the ordinary folk who have seen them as "a breath of fresh air" or

If you pebbledash a public toilet bowl, and there's a brush, and you don't use it? Reform voter, nailed on.

it's exactly that, and the general and super-fine-grain statistics absolutely back that up - or at least, that 15-20 million are just basically hungry gibbons whose voting patterns consist of flinging their faeces at things

Justice for those directly harmed, but also war reparations style penalties. Seriously. Original recipe: Federal money to compensate for lost business, emotional distress, lost school days, etc. Extra spicy: Dismantle every Trump property physically and ship the pieces to Minnesota for salvage.

Popbitch absolutely stitching up Robin Ince as a favour to a famous mate is it? Oh dear.

I based the following on his own statement on xcom, but according to the New World he wanted his own green room and tried to pack the event: www.thenewworld.co.uk/rats-in-a-sa...

Matt Goodwin pulled out of yesterday's hustings in Gorton because the group who organised it weren't impartial enough for him. I thought he'd debate anyone, anytime, any place. Not very marketplace of ideas of you, Matt.

★★★★ Le Carousel makes dancefloor magic from the melancholy of 'The Humans Will Destroy Us' writes @joemuggs.bsky.social www.theartsdesk.com/new-music/le...

This is why you shouldn't write off waffling dipsticks in stupid small political micro-cliques that are perpetually falling apart. They might be Karl Marx.

That guy has definitely killed for pleasure.

now that is cool

Sir Jim Ratcliffe lives in Monaco, which has been colonised by immigrant tax dodgers.

sorry? yeah, sorriest little cunt I've seen in a long time. just fucking say 'I don't want the [insert racial slur/s of choice] here' with your whole chest, don't be a fucking coward.

Same, but it's always "Trombipulation" or "Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop" so they know I'm the funkiest.

I am so fucked if the government finds out what school I went to

Lol mine is Lester Piggott.

oh so just dumb luck these idiots didn’t shoot down a passenger aircraft

a beautiful record

Barrington Levy performing Under Me Sensi on No. 73 in 1985. Yes, they had songs celebrating cannabis on kids TV back then. Also look out for Sandi Toksvig and Nicholas Parsons joining the audience for a joyous skank

The UK conversation on immigration is so divorced from the reality that we've cut it by two thirds in a year and are likely headed to net emigration. Why, in a statement condemning racism are you acknowledging we should "curb" immigration?

take ten minutes off and just listen to this

On an economic theory level it has been left wing. But it has failed to promote that, and by pandering to the hard right on social issues (immigration, transphobia) it has damaged its own programme - immigration controls will be ruinous and trust in Labour as pro-social is destroyed overall.

Finally the Balloon Boy defense system we've all been waiting for

😂

Funny story: my career in drones exists because I have a arithmetic learning disability, tested awfully in math and couldn’t study STEM in college, and became so angered by how normal it was to look down upon non-tech people in the 2010s that I decided to master a hard tech field out of pure spite.
