This has skyrocketed in the last few minutes. Wonder if any of the big buys are coming from the general Westminster area?

What so many have experienced personally has been confirmed by a new study: AI has been a disaster for working artists.

it's really quite easy to run a website without becoming The Discourse, all it requires is enough professionalism to understand that Posting Dumbass Justifications For Your Bad Decisions only fuels the fire

You have never proved them wrong even once! It's been an unending series of Ws to the haters and critics! Your record of proving them wrong is equalled only by Drake and the Washington Generals!

The 'male loneliness epidemic' actually means that stereotypical males can't have what they consider to be enough sex with women to tell other stereotypical males about to increase their social standing, largely because women have more self-esteem now.

New Founding’s Venture Fund includes both Marc Andreessen and Katherine Boyle (also of Andreessen Horowitz) as Limited Partners. Charles Haywood—a wanna be “warlord,” admirer of Francisco Franco, & founder of “SACR” (a Christian only men’s society)—is a New Founding advisor. 1/

So-called '''Leftist''' Chapo Dudebros are in my mentions mocking basic precautions for not spreading Hantavirus. For anyone who actually cares about their community, here is the protocol I use to stay #hantafree: 1) Limit rat feces to a 'sometimes food'

Question: what's a good book on how to draw in a manga style that would be suitable for a ten year old?

There's two kinds of people in this world kid: folks who read the alt-text on Swan Boy, and folks who are dumb milk babies. Ain't hard to see which to be.

My reporting finds that sexual violence against Palestinians by Israeli authorities is widespread. I'm grateful to these assault victims for sharing with me the brutality they endured. Whether we're pro-Israel or pro-Palestinian, we should unite in being anti-rape. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/11/o...

Should this happen? Sure. Is it the absolute easiest thing to nationalise while simultaneously throwing a little red meat to the imaginary Red Wall Voter who feels personally offended by people he never meets having jobs that involve sending emails.

NEW VIDEO!!! Palantir's supervillain manifesto: is it technofascism? Neoliberalism? Both? Whatever it is it stressed me the hell out! Link below Also there is a voice crack in this which really highlights my deteriorating mental state

possibly Labour’s most fascist MP doing nostalgia-based AI slop is it anyway read this by @garethwatkins.bsky.social

I finished Gundam: 08th MS Team, and despite the breathless 'this is Platoon with mecha!' praise from fans, it's still a mid-nineties anime from before the era when people realised that anime could be good, so there's still a lot of giant eyes and nosebleeds when a character sees a naked lady.

If you have the desire to read about these pricks (Yudkowsky, Land, Yarvin etc) @eruditorumpress.com Neoraction a Basilisk is a must.

The definitive millennial song is Linkin Park - Chop Suey.mp3.exe

When you watch a 24 episode series of an anime with really high quality animation and no cut corners:

I'm really unsure if this new look will succeed in rehabilitating Sir Keir Starmer's image &/or restore British Labour's diminished status among working-class Britons, but good on him for trying, I guess?

Starmer (soulless Alan Partridge voice): Think about a football in a pint. That's the economy.

This guy is one of my favorites. Even when I was a literal neo-nazi, Duchesne's idiocy fascinated me like a car wreck. At some point he realized that no one could stop him from imagining that white people are the only good humans, and he said, "Yep, that's my entire philosophy."

there is no literal meaning to this (wokeness take parrot?) they just expect people to intuit 'miscegenation & effeminacy destroyed everything" & they do—the comments are picking that up

the definitive millennial song is winamp really whips the llama's ass

I actually think that if Kier Starmer had a pdf with seven Pledges and nine Promises that clearly articulated his Mission, Vision and Values then I would vote for him - I think a lot of people would!

And what was the first? It would have to be a song that was inarguably popular with millennials when they were young: 'Iris', 'Song 2', 'Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)', 'Wannabe', 'Blue'.

tech ceo: we regret to inform you that the torment created by the Torment Nexus is the fault of the depraved author of beloved novel DON’T CREATE THE TORMENT NEXUS

Do any of my mutuals have access to the Taylor and Francis journal database? There's an article that it would be really useful.

Prediction: as Palantir's Alex Karp becomes more self-conciously violent and authoritarian he will start dressing in outlandish, flamboyant ways.

Thread. Tdlr: not sure if the vibes are 100% perfect.

Everyone could have reasonably foreseen this outcome, of which there have been numerous examples, and lots of research. Suggests the most plausible conclusion is that this nonsense, often described as an electoral strategy, is in fact an emotional attachment to racism. bsky.app/profile/robf...

One of the many reasons that I'm *extremely* skeptical of the 'AI will mean UBI and Abundance for all' thing is how little intellectual work is being done on how that would work in practice. There are no think tanks releasing reports, no papers in economics journals, no books on the subject...

The Teotihuacan Pyramid Shooting; Mexico’s Post-Racial Nazis Nazi ideology & symbology, long associated with strains of European white supremacy, have been hollowed out & suited to reactionary thought in Mexico that takes pride in mixed heritage & leans heavily on Catholicism & anti-imperialism.

I'm constantly having conversations with people who run businesses about this very problem, and all these hard-headed businesspeople seemingly believe that AI and only AI is exempt from the 'companies need to make money' rule because it's 'here ti stay'. They have no other arguments.

We're getting urgent advice on whether this is a criminal offence. I know Labour's de facto policy is that whether inciting hatred is bad depends on who the incitement is against but we think human rights are universal.

a minor but very funny point in the decline and fall of Elon Musk's public perception is Tesla removing all visible branding except for a nearly invisible black-on-black reverse embossed 'Tesla' on the trunk

I know she is in that moldy-ass house right now crying screaming throwing up ripping her hair out about this and I'm really enjoying imagining it

Tell them that Cadia Stands.

listening to the engineering ep of Blood Work, Justin Roczniak line really got me "so much talent has been [wasted..] every minute that you spend working on a weapon is wasted time, building something you shouldn't need to have." "a bomb is garbage and that just creates more garbage when it's used"

Every Reform councillor who was elected this week is going to go into their first day of work thinking that 80% of their borough's budget goes on giving immigrants pronouns and they're all going to find that every single department is underfunded and slightly reducing the budget will kill people

New: How Ben Shapiro's Daily Wire lost its grip on the conservative internet. The "anti-woke" empire that invested tens of millions in fantasy shows and Shapiro scented candles now faces sweeping layoffs and criticism its MAGA relevance has slipped away wapo.st/3QWgKvj

This is sad - Dawkins has spoken about being sexually abused in the already psychologically toxic environment of a Boy's School, and decades later he's still looking for something to care for him unconditionally.
