Goodnight from DI Callaghan, explaining to DS Nokes that the phrase ‘diabolic liberties’ has more than one meaning in the county. Goodnight from the painted lead soldiers in Neil Miller’s study, grandly pissed off to be fighting the battle of Hare Hill yet again. Goodnight from Hookland.

I said this a while ago but it bears repeating: The U.S. right is fully captured by a) christian fascist accelerationists seeking to start the Biblical Apocalypse, & b) those actively manipulating (a) for profit. Everything they claim to care about will last only so long as it serves (a) or (b).

There's been a big update on Savannah's gfm. Very happy she is no longer at QEH. Been in the Royal Devon - the only NHS hospital with a protocol for admitting Severe #pwME. Still far from risk free imo, but a huge improvement over QEH. Full details in the last two updates below #SaveSavannah

My new favorite insult just dropped.

From knowing nothing about these people to "huh, I think my feelings are now negative"

anyway imagine if sunset came with a sound effect. like a massive crunch

GamerGate was twelve years ago and, almost to a man[*], every one of the prominent figures has moved into an alt-right Trump-fluffer role. [*] I wonder what “based mom” is up to these days.

There were about 3600 public libraries open in the UK in 2020. This is about £40 for each of them.

#TheExpanse Dragon Tooth “deluxe edition” hardback is supposed (?!) to be on sale today. Has anyone spotted it in the wild…?

There’s now a miles-long queue of oil tankers and cargo ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

WAIT THEY CAN FUCKING DRIVE NOW

Tag yrself I'm counology, but have been known to enrage strategic relationships

every US war includes an assault on language—so now we get claims that Anthropic’s Claude “shortens the kill chain”

The belief expressed by people that you can get LLMs to not produce counter-factual slop by simply telling them to “not hallucinate” is truly one of the beliefs of all time

Absolutely no surprise here. The week after TH Jones took over from WH Smith in Leeds they stopped accepting newspaper coupons. That told me they weren’t interested in keeping customers.

I love how the main impact of the internet on government seems to be to enable them to offload bureaucratic bullshit onto the general public, and this is mis-sold to us as "cutting red tape". No thanks to whoever didn't imagine how their workload would play with semi-disabled people.

Both of these are entirely consistent when you consider that kids are their parents’ property until women (and their bodies) become the property of their husbands.

YES, THEY ARE CHRISTIANS. If you think they aren't because they aren't nice, you're wrong. There is nothing in the Nicean Creed, the authorative definition of Christian faith, about compassion. Just JC being the resurrected son of god. You're repeating Xtian propaganda. If you're not xtian, why?

Everything old is new again.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world." #AIslop #refuseresist

Just Nick Robinson casually asking a guest on BBC Today if protests against the war 'should be allowed to go ahead' or 'ought to be banned in this country'.

Sneaking this info out while the press is looking elsewhere. My pay "rise" in the public sector was 1.4% - fuck these chinless twats www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I kept needing this, so I finally made it.

Okay if fucking Trump outlasts Bruce Campbell I'm fighting god barefoot in a Waffle House parking lot.

Lmfao this is so fucking sad 😂😂😂

This is the worst timeline variety.com/2026/film/ne...

Just one fucking day.

Know what? It doesn't matter if you think these people aren't Christian enough for you. This has always been their war.

Something I think about lately is that when I was 20, WWI seemed a very long time ago. Yet it doesn’t, now, in my late 70s. The US is turning 250 this year.

1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration: Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure. Its a horrifying escalation.

It was like calling all the fascists "weird losers" was working so well before the Harris campaign inexplicably stopped.

Goodnight from the Mayford tractor factory, where the number of days without haunting board has been reset to zero yet again. Goodnight from Andrew Pickingale, taught a harsh and bloody lesson about the wrongness of fly-tipping by the Children-Made-of-Thorns. Goodnight from Hookland.

the rational response to learning of Epstein's 24/7 access to white-glove treatment from some of the world's best surgeons and medical practitioners is to conclude that privatized health care is a moral, ethical, and medical catastrophe. it's reasonable to call for the whole system to be rethought
