Huge change to political donation rules to close loopholes on foreign cash Labour’s Steve Reed today unveils legislation to stop foreign donors interfering with UK politics - while also letting 16 and 17 year olds vote in elections for the first time 👏 www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

You cannot convince me that MrBeast isn’t AI and that, like all generative AI, he doesn’t deserve water

if you played sonic the hedgehog and put down the controller, sonic would look at you and tap his foot impatiently. this was proof that sega genesis cartridges had souls. the decision was made to make the storage cases a lot larger than the cartridges so they would have room to move around in there

My doomer-worry about AI is not that the LLMs become omnipotent and take over the world but that the wealthy and powerful use it as a means to consolidate power and marginalize or lay off skilled workers and also everything about our technological and political and social life gets worse

I spent a fair amount of my teens, twenties and thirties watching arthouse films and sophisticated adult dramas with great costumes and (oooh) swearing. Which is why, at 2:43am today, I pointed at the TV and joyfully exclaimed, “Of course! She was the whoremonger’s wife in Carnevalé!”

God bless those nice footballers who run around in the bits between a popular American musician performing popular American music and attention-seeking racists losing their minds about this apparently startling, new phenomenon

Happy Super Bowl, especially to all the Australians who’ll get a dirty little chuckle at all their American friends spending the day enthusiastically rooting* *it means “fucking” in Aussie slang, which I discovered at age 9 and I still find unreasonably funny

Saw a post that said Robert de Niro did 600 crunches a day to prepare for his role in Cape Fear. It works, I’m up to 300 and I’m so angry I already want to beat the shit out of Nick Nolte.

Just wanna congratulate @robbotron.bsky.social on over 1.3 MILLION VIEWS of his right nipple! #LeftyHasThingsToSayAsWell #RightNippleClub #AllNipplesAreGreat #FreeTheNippleButNotLikeThat #NextTimeWearTwoMics

cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox

Not even 10 episodes into Babylon 5 and we've already had multiple episodes where the plot was: 1. There's a fascist on the station 2. Well, we can't have that 3. The Nazi gets their ass beat/kicked off the station/vaporized 4. "Fuck that guy; sure hope we don't see more of that lot"

Reading about the online sad sacks who whine that the state owes them a woman to cure their loneliness and also keep the population up… Jesus Christ, at least the suicide bombers of the early 2000s had the decency to explode first and then meet their 72 virgins. Pathetic!

i don't particularly disagree with a lot of the critiques of anarchist activism by liberals but I bristle when they act as if their best practices are any wiser. we're here because none of us figured out how to avoid being here. everyone should have some goddamn humility.

Could we start the yoga class 15 minutes late? No. They’re totally inflexible.

This is bait, it's been everywhere on my feeds for the last couple of months. The answer in these cases is never 'force women to have sex with men', it is 'tell men to be nicer to women'. It is a simple and obvious answer as long as you don't hate women.

when people in my block get parcels: unnecessary purchases... greed... gluttony... ruinous behaviour... when i get a parcel: wowee :) a special little delivery :) for a special little guy :)

When world leaders and billionaires just can’t behave like adults, I remember all the life lessons taught to me by Star Trek: - bigotry is wrong - patience and teamwork can overcome almost any issue - SHOOT ANYONE CLAIMING TO BE GOD IN THE FACE - computers are all the same woman

This is very, very good.

Most people don't realize the truly staggering rate of improvement of renewable technologies - the pace has been *insane* and costs have fallen through the floor.

Hitman is Assassin's Creed with autism. Because why would you run and jump when you can know the joys of masking to fit in? - @robbotron.bsky.social

JK Rowling and her team "protecting women and girls" by inviting convicted sex offender Epstein to the opening of her Harry Potter play. It certainly is an interesting approach to child protection.

This is the thing. If everyone just goes ‘oh how awful’ every time there is further confirmation of an already incredibly well documented elite paedophile ring, but no accountability ever arrives, what on earth are we doing.

pizzagate and qanon were not onto something, they were orchestrated by pedophiles to make accusing people of pedophilia make you look insane so that they could continue doing pedophile shit. fucking christ

Ok I get it but please don’t do this. One day soon we will be able to afford for that not to matter but not while I still can’t afford food for the last week of every month.

Fantastic

“Hello, heroin dealer, when may I, a man who uses heroin, be able to buy your strongest heroin?”

Fucksakes. That’s so fucking sad.

“Useless as tits on a bull”, sir, nothing passes the time like a dangerous game of Suck N’ Run

I heard there is a funny clown Who with the circus came to town What sadness that you have I’m sure he’d cure ya It goes like this, You’ll go You’ll see But doctor, you’re describing me! The clown that you prescribe, is Pagliacci! Pagliacci Pagliacci Pagliacci Pagliacci

Today I learned “Norwegian Christian laws forbade citizens from conversing with and interacting with trolls, and in documents dating from 1274 to 1781, doing so would result in severe punishment” (source: Wikipedia), and I kinda think many people nowadays would be better off if this law was revived

This week, an X user created an AI video of me being chloroformed and prepared for rape. Victims are told it's not real and they're getting offended for no reason. But nudification tools are weapons of sexual assault, and the harm they cause is real 👇 jessasato.substack.com/p/ai-nudific...

I love The Traitors - the personal trainer who always says he’s a personal trainer, the moustache guy who’s constantly touching his face, and of course James, the dumbest motherfucker alive

This map exposes the Greenland lie. The US used to have a massive military footprint here. Today, they operate just ONE base. If Trump were actually worried about Russian vessels, he would simply open more bases, which Denmark allows

World News: 🇺🇸 Please stop calling our Gestapo the Gestapo, they think they’re the SS 🇷🇺 Thank you, America, for keeping us out of the news 🇨🇳 [redacted] 🇬🇱 Oh what is this shit.

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage

Holy crap i didn't realise @robbotron.bsky.social was on an episode of Tables Lists and Chairs 😁
