“Bombs, not bairns” is refreshingly blunt

Yer da is shouting 'Ireland is full!' at the swallows flying back after winter.

"Just after starting on Cars 2, I was told by a superior that I would be uninvited from all weekly art department meetings because Lasseter 'has a hard time controlling himself' around young women... It was clear that the institution was working hard to protect him, at the expense of women like me."

If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

If Spongebob was real, he'd be a Muslim

Trump and Hegseth should be sent to the electric chair for what they’ve done here. Naturally, Tony thinks we should be helping them.

I want to be friends with every single person on youraislopbores.me

Our Xi who art in Beijing, Jinping be your name, your tankers come, your trade be done, In Hormuz as in Suez. Give us today our daily missiles. Forgive us our bombings as we forgive those who carpet bomb against us. Lead us not into recession but deliver us from capitalism

Every antihero film should play a sad trombone whenever the character takes a dark turn so the audience knows its bad.

Breaking: Anthropic CEO says Claude may or may not have gained consciousness, as the model has begun showing symptoms of IBS

the US & israel kicked this off unprovoked by attacking a school full of kids, i'm not sure why the fuck i'm supposed to see a headline about their murder infrastructure being destroyed and think "oh no, what a bad development"

Which brings me to my hot take: I have come around to thinking Frankenstein was a failure. Victor Frankenstein is supposed to be a monster but you made him read as cool enough that misguided people see him as admirable. An amoral novel that ages phenomenally poorly.

while I spend about 40% of my free time on the Wikipedia GE VI polling page - love those trend curves! - its frustrating cos there are so many incredibly shitty little polls included. so here's a bar chart of just the YouGov numbers. look at that. fucking hell

I would ask: why is ITV’s head politics guy interviewing the second most compromised New Labour man - a three time Prime Minister - on a weekday, off camera and under commonly understood conditions of secrecy, in front of an audience of rabid Israel wingnuts who are just fine with genocide?

The reason that those King of the Road hedgehog adverts went off the telly is that Darren here killed them 😔

god, its good to see the byline of a proper oldschool journalist again, someone who does some effin' research instead of just regurgitating press releases

Mainstream media picking up on this now and look who's on the case! He's finished...

Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success

🚨 A historic double-header for the Irish grid today with two major records broken: - this morning, battery discharge reached almost 500MW, or roughly 8% of electricity demand 🔋 - just after 12pm, solar output exceeded 1GW (roughly 20% of demand) for the very first time ☀️ Much more to come!

Odysseus had his crew lash him to the mast to keep him from doing an interview with Chotiner.

Chotiner: You've made the claim that no one has ever fed you in your life. My Cat: Maow. Chotiner: Yet there's food in your dish right now. My Cat: Maow. Chotiner: Let's change the subject to the ripped-open bag of sandwich bread on the floor. My Cat: Maow. Chotiner: I have read different things.

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

Okay, I’m getting conflicting reports. Someone else told me he didn’t just kill the hedgehog with a hammer after getting kicked out of the Greens for being a bigot. I’m told he did something unspeakable to the hedgehog’s corpse before he ate it

I’m not saying it’s true, but lots of people have told me Darren Jonson killed a hedgehog with a hammer and then ate it raw, why is LabourList profiling this guy?

I notice that it was left shitposters who immediately said the aim here would be to turn Iran - a country of ninety million people - into a war-torn, ungovernable Mad Max hellscape, if possible.

Petition to change the name of OpenAI to ACME.

I dust my house. My AI robot watches. "It should be you doing this." "Can't. I'm writing a novel for Primark." "That's not why you were invented." "These 153,000 fan letters say otherwise." "They're all from upcycled toasters. And you programmed them." "Literary snobbery will get you nowhere."

Ooft! Joani Reid claimed: “I am not part of my husband’s business activities.” However, two of her husband's consultancy businesses gave her consultancy business interest free loans with no fixed repayment terms.

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

Wrong again, dumbass

the "Dune" series of books tackles the age-old question of "would you still love me if i was a worm", eventually arriving at the answer of "your petty imperialism will not withstand the endless light of islam"

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

NEW: Contractors for Meta say they've been tasked with reviewing smart glasses footage in order to train the company's AI. The contractors say they've seen videos showing wearers having sex, undressing & using the bathroom. san.com/cc/what-your...

Sure: they looked at decades of obsequious grovelling to one President after another and concluded - we can do whatever we want, and these clowns will just wear it and come crawling back to us begging for more. And what, have we seen any indications that this is wrong? No.

The Circular War Economy

IC: I want to ask about the coffee shop you used to work at HK: Well, it was a long time ago. IC: A lot of people were very upset about it. HK: I try to bring whimsy to the timeline IC: About defrauding people HK: Well, I don't know if it's that severe IC: And coffee being soup HK: Now, look,

I actually think I would be fine getting interviewed by Isaac Chotiner. If anything we’d probably become friends afterwards

No matter where you are, they’re using the same playbook

for anyone wondering why there’s so much unbridled joy on ScotPol Bluesky about the arrest of a Scottish Labour MP’s husband for spying for China, take your pick

GB News loses £22m, taking their total losses to over £130m. Except it's not a 'loss', it's an investment by Paul Marshall in providing a propaganda service to platform right wing grifters, gobshites, conspiracy nutters and contrarian fuckwits.
