This year we're doing Whamutopia. Every time you hear Last Christmas you have to have a mulled wine at your earliest convenience and toast George Michael, because he was a lad

When does Sultana accept that it’s “his party” and get the fuck away. Anything magic grandpa touches turns to shite.

Sultana and Corbyn act like they were put together in a competition by Simon Cowell and now they're contractually obliged to go on tour

Honestly, I'm going to scream. BBC's local news network is full of green ink crap stories but this one takes the biscuit. I guess the alternative to spending £1.2 million before it is built is... Not designing it? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The level of cowardice and incompetence of this government is astonishing. Five years of total legislative and executive power burned up in little over a year

Hurrah!

I get being disappointed in Starmer and the just boring insipid “sorry we really can’t make anything better” But how can you look at Wes going “that’s better”

Every time someone’s like “put that in the louvre,” my head now goes “and then steal it from the louvre, the security password is louvre”

Thiiiings can only get shitter

@freeagentapp.bsky.social are you ever going to implement passkeys. It’s time.

Moved into my place this week. It’s not finished but hey Spending lots of time with dad has been lovely, unearthed a whole load of stuff in my mind Not helped by *the literal day he was on the train home* a tradie complained “where was the nice Scottish guy”

Dear companies. You don’t need to email me asking me your update my app. I have auto updates on

Quoted here about the increasing intersection of right-wing Christianity & Tech. Had a very much longer conversation than there was space for, touching on mutations of Christian-inflected belief & eschatology in re: the Singularity hype & pushes toward, e.g., "consciousness uploading" & now "AGI"…

Abstaining on human rights is very Labour these days.

"At some stage, the UK government must decouple gas and electricity prices" Get the fuck on with it.

statistically, about 24% of television adverts in the UK should feature at least one publicly disgraced member of Reform/UKIP

Morgan McSweeney frantically googling "how proscribe Green party terrorist"

It’s always dns… as part of a multi-layered clusterfuck

Hans Christian Andersen, the master of fairytales, kept a diary most of his life. It's full of his hopes, worries, ideas and dreams. Oh yeah. And any entry marked with a + is a day when he'd had a good wank. (Lot of drama and angst on here rn so thought i'd put that bit of history in your feeds)

I do still wonder about a recently famous journo who launched an app that is free, whose terms say “it’s free with no subscription”, but its AppStore config has monthly, quarterly, yearly purchase configured

“Oh. The latency in that panel is off” Me going to see RYOJI IKEDA

That headline tho.

Private equity (especially the leveraged buyout model) is just fraud, actually.

Hollow laughter

Zarah is posting more photos of the reconciled “Your party” Most of the comments “just join the greens” Magic grandpa really can fuck things up can’t he.

Antifa Activist Michael Heseltine Shifts Overton Window Leftwards

5 times I've been through the 'break / ban encryption' debate. 1st time was late 90s, trying to get encryption to use AT ALL. Imagine what progressive tech could have built if we didn't have to drop everything to fight this BS off every few years. Support your local digital rights org. Please.

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

I’ve reached the point in life where “SCR” on my phone returns Screwfix ahead of Scruff One being a way to meet guys into your tribe* and the other being a hookup app. * makita/dewalt/milwaukee

Its not as if it will stop people from remembering who he is

New DLR train! New DLR train! New DLR train! New DLR train!

So present a vision that isn’t “boring govt tied to self-destructive fiscal rules” Stop trying to be “reform lite”/“sensible reform” - kier could kill multiple migrants personally, & reform voters would still think him weak - meanwhile lefties (inc. centrist types like me) are going “no thanks”

Gen X here. But I hate google docs. I hate web office. I want *real* office

I'm just saying to a friend- I thought we had a couple of years to prepare for what's happening now. Years to form support networks and aid groups and start making our home turf resilient. Starmer's ineptitude has accelerated it all. And I genuinely dont know what to do, and that scares me.

Cats say a £22bn investment in Dreamies and new Catnip technologies will boost Britain's economy in the next few years

Let them watch Hey Duggee on an iPad

“we’re not racist” (a few seconds later) *says virulently racist things including ethnic cleansing*

Net carbon zero is incompatible with a massive increase in data centers for AI that does not and will not work and will only make everything worse, so sorry but the planet has to go.

Three pictures which won't age well. There's diplomacy, then there's cowardice. We know which this is.

The image that inspired my most popular comic.

ME, IN TEARS: you can't just say every single part of a computer system is a file UNIX, POINTING AT THE MOUSE: file

don't suppose there's any chance this reshuffle might replace the PM with an actual leader
