It's genuinely a tragedy that Rik Mayall died before Cameo became a thing. I suspect people would be willing to pay well to have him call them a total bastard.

At this rate the next candidates to join Trump's "Board of Peace" will be Thanos and General Zod.

Here's hoping Trump will be the first person ever to get bottled off at Davos. Even better if it's the full on Reading Festival type of bottling.

Someone needs to slap Donald Trump and tell him to grow the fuck up.

The Reform pitch is increasingly “the last government was terrible, so we’ve hired everyone who was in it”.

Elon Musk’s X is helping people create indecent images of KIDS. His response to outcry this week? He doesn’t give a f*ck. Imagine his face if millions get the f*ck off of X though. Join millions deleting their accounts. Link in bio to download this poster for free and spread this worldwide.

There’s a big story everyone is missing—but this article hits on it. We aren’t just seeing public health dismantled bc we’ve been taken over by conspiracy theorists and lunatics. What we’re really seeing is the giant, predatory, underegulated wellness industry come to Washington.

The creation of CSAM on X is unrelated to whether children use the site or not. So what Badenoch appears to be arguing is that only adults should be allowed to look at CSAM. She’s also implying that that it’s rather judgy and illiberal of the govt to “not like” a CSAM generator

I'm not concerned in the slightest by yet another former Tory MP defecting to Reform. Their careers are basically over at this point.

This is the 'engagement' that the Irish government has been using to justify remaining on X. These are the top replies to a randomly chosen recent post.

I've been saying for a while that we, as expert Laravel developers, are just moving a lot of our projects from rescuing bad offshore work to rescuing bad vibe code. You still need the experts.

Republican bullies deploy more threats against the UK to protect their big tech corporate allies.

Anyone posting on X now that it is documented as being a site for serious image based abuse, including CSAM risks being seen as complicit in that abuse. Everyone should be off the platform as a matter of urgency

Several things to note in relation to the X/Grok issues. 1) This new 'change' makes very little difference, and can be worked around 2) The 'blue tick' that allows you no restrictions has been a 'red flag' for a while - all the worst kind of people bought them 3) Grok exists in standalone form 1/3

I know the lizard people are a conspiracy theory with no basis in reality. But by god if they did exist Stephen Miller would be one.

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

A reminder that Venezuela is a signatory to the Rome Statute. So crimes committed on its soil are subject to jurisdiction of ICC, including 👇 www.internationalcrimesdatabase.org/Crimes/Crime...

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-csam-...

www.euronews.com/2025/12/30/a... Now I wonder who would be behind all these ai generated polexit videos? Especially considering how often Poland has to scramble fighter jets because of Russian drones

Can’t believe I didn’t know about worktrees. And this is also another demonstration of Git’s adaptability 👌

Cats are easy to buy Christmas presents for. They're happy with the box someone else's present came in.

Found out today I passed the Theory of Knowledge course I did this autumn with Oxford University's Lifelong Learning programme.

Today is my annual reminder that despite being younger than me my brother is fatter and has less hair left

TIL that doing Detachable Penis by King Missile in the karaoke at your work Christmas party makes a hell of an impact

Colour me shocked...

This is so perfect. No one have any doubts at this point about what Elon Musk really represents.

If you see this, repost with your model of masculinity

Nigel Farage used an LBC appearance in September to accuse the Bank of England of being “dinosaurs” for seeking to place restrictions on the use of Stablecoins by crypto firms like Tether. He did not declare that Reform had just received a £9 million donation from one of its biggest investors

For non-Brits: nobody can afford to get sued by revved-up wingnuts and crackpots armed with JK Rowling’s money, and nobody wants to be the next organisation protested by the far right and monstered into the heart of the earth by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. So they are folding.

You just cannot take the iPaper seriously when it wheels out Kwasi ‘mini budget’ Kwarteng to comment on the budget. We don’t *ever* want to hear from this arrogant clown again. “No prudence” FML.

Honestly this should be all politicians need to hear to justify leaving "X" far, far behind. I have been gone from there for over two years now and I waited too long - should have left the day Musk bought it.

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

It occurred to me after watching the Black Mirror episode Joan Is Awful that the best way for Joan to fight it was to do nothing. Book two weeks off work and sit on the sofa binging Joan Is Awful. It'd be like watching Gogglebox but it's your own security cam. Probably cancelled inside a week.

did the BBC misrepresent..Trump’s role in the attack on the ..Capitol?..the US House Select Committee on the Jan. 6 Attack..found that Trump’s rhetoric & conduct were the “central cause” of the insurrection..report concluded..he..'lit the flame of this attack', language far stronger than..Panorama.

“Fearless journalism is what terrifies politicians, and it must not be cowed." The BBC must stand up to Trump's $1 billion lawsuit - or risk legitimising the president's false narrative of what really happened on January 6 www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/if-t...

BBC board member with Tory links ‘led charge’ in systemic bias claims, say insiders

I had a similar idea which one day I will get round to articulating once I have finished the remote learning course I am currently on and have a bit more free time. news.mit.edu/2025/mit-res...

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion. So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

I like that Elon Musk bought an entire social media platform to get people to laugh at his jokes, but instead just ends up telegraphing the most Fathers4Justice energy imaginable.

A magnificent piece of work. Comprehesive, revelatory & shocking. Journalism this good is always rare & precious but never moreso than at times like this. Latter day Lord Haw Haws being plumped, preened & delivered to your doorstep in plain sight by a Nazi-saluting goon news.sky.com/story/the-x-...

It's almost as if the media and right wing parties are manufacturing consent. The most important issue to people will always be material conditions.

It is way past time for the UK government & the BBC to get off X & for Musk to be treated as a threat to national security. The world's richest man is using his site to promote civil war, ethnic violence & the overthrow of an elected government. You won't win him over with another conference on AI
