Oh my god you dipshits stop spreading the link. None of you even *read* the fucking thing. It's based on RUMORS AND GUESSES from a PC World article. My god y'all are such fucking rubes.

I'm on the hunt for a translator for simplified Chinese for games. Ideally a freelancer, but it has to be someone with a proven track record of solid translations. Bonus points if they have time for a last minute store translation 😅 hmu!!!

Striking that Reform have now overtaken Labour as the party people would most like to vote against - very much matches what we heard in Gorton with many voters primary concern less merits of Lab/Green but who could best stop Reform.

doujinshi as the spiritual opposite of slop. wildly caring about a character/ship in an IP way beyond the extent the original corporation would. beyond what's "efficient", or tasteful to the mainstream (money) -- creating at a monentary loss if anything for the pure love of it. is this anything.

Announcements from our Labour Government - most unreported by BBC, radio and the media. The big one is the crack down on public sector fraud saving taxpayers £7.5bn. Share far and wide we need to do the job of our media. 👏👏👏👏

Labour are delivering a manifesto to lower the voting age to 16 as part of their Presentation of the People Bill. Tories are trying to block the whole bill as they want to deny 16 & 17 year olds the vote. #Labour

If your business requires you to take other peoples work without payment, you are not a businessman. You are a theif. Anthropic, OpenAI, etc are all criminals.

Anybody have suggestions for a decent hdmi switch? Needs atleast 5 inputs.

In 2020 Nigel Farage said of MPs who defect & refuse a by-election “it’s not right, it’s dishonorable” Giving voters the right to have a say on an MPs defection is vital to restoring trust in our politics - and isn’t that exactly what the government has pledged to do?

From yesterday's Observer.

Badenoch, Farage, Davey, Polanski should be standing shoulder to shoulder with the Government at a time when many Brits are under threat in a war zone. They should never be forgiven by voters who have family, friends, colleagues in the region. It’s not Politics, it’s war

What an utterly disgusting and dangerous front page from the Mail today. Surely by now everyone can see that Reform is a party that thrives on division, fuels anger, and uses the scapegoating of minorities and migrants to gain support. Everyone it seems except the Mail

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Just a reminder: instead of an actual diplomat, we sent Trump’s deeply compromised son-in-law as the lead negotiator to avert war with Iran. popular.info/p/deeply-con...

The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians. We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.

Went to Coventry today, lads.

"Gaming is an expression of freedom and release, and you can be whoever you want…” We caught up with Sasha earlier this month to update her gaming kit to take on the new titles she wanted to play like Pokemon Legends: Z-A and 2KXO, and thanks to YOUR incredible support, she’s still in the game!

Whatever Iran has done, why should the Iranian people suffer because Trump wants to distract his own voters from his terrible approval rating and his involvement with Epstein? Bombing yet another country is hardly a good look from a Nobel Peace Prize wannabe…
