From Berwick down it's "The South".

Not sure why I’m getting local stories from Dorset in my Facebook feed, but idly clicking on this while trying to get baby to sleep, I was mildly intrigued by the sentence ‘Ms Montgomery told councillors…she wasn’t aware the bar was there when purchasing the [next door] property.’ So I had a look…

I am so sick of this rhetoric. Politics is inherently divisive!

"...and there's been another arrest for misconduct in public office but for who Chris Kamara?"

I want to know what happens when they put him in a sweat box.

lent and ramadan kicking off on the same day

Everybody’s talking about the destruction of consumer electronics and that’s bad, but basically everything in modern life has a computer in it. Hospitals, airports, transportation, shipping, medical devices, farm equipment, and point of sale terminals had a good run

Interesting to see Pay by Bank appear on Amazon. It's cheaper for retailers but I'm not sure convinced consumers will see it as more convenient and want to move from card payments. I don't think moving away from US-owned card rails will matter much for Amazon customers.

Why do only athletes and entertainers get the Stick To treatment? Why does nobody tell this fucker to stick to selling cabbages?

You non-sports fans have to understand that for people who are really into pro football, today is basically their Super Bowl

New darts scoring thing needs an F1 car or a buxom anime lassie to complete the Winamp look.

Zoom's AI feature can't even manage basic tasks

Crossover potential with The Pitt.

Exciting times for journalists as they get to use the plural "attorneys general".

AI deepfakes affect people even if they know the videos are fake: nice media coverage here of phys.org/news/2026-0... one of our recent studies. 1/2 1/2

The AFC is going to be won by who can fall over the least.

No matter how many times I hear Sean Dyche's voice it always surprises me.

Media studies has been widely ridiculed for the past 40 years and well here we are

American sports things we should introduce to the Premier League: - better hand signals from the ref - winning players presented with food after Boxing Day games - mascots that go down a big chute when their team scores

With all the discussions of, eg, colonisation themes that have happened over the last few years you hope that some lessons have been learned. Nope.

Our crime prevention strategy has three major planks.

I never got around to unsubscribing from property alerts around here and I'm really glad I didn't. www.zoopla.co.uk/for-sale/det...

This keyboard is actually an entire computer. Just plug it into a monitor and you’re set.

It's fascinating that "no one should go to a football match and not come home" is a widely held sentiment but so is "there is an acceptable number of people to be killed on our roads as the cost of getting around".

This is fascinating. But what can we do about it? "Transcript between Lloyds employee and customer who’s fallen victim to a romance scam" The bank knows it's a fraud but the customer insists the money must be sent. Should the customer get CRM fraud compo? www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Who remembers Boglins?

I think in this day and age they shouldn't have separate competitions based on your sexuality.

Considering it's a non-contact sport it's weird that two darts players have been bleeding up on stage this tournament.

It's sixty years this month since Joseph Weizenbaum's paper on ELIZA. It's a fitting way to mark this for us to succumb to the Eliza Effect en masse.

Auld Lang Syne gives me flashbacks as I had to sing it 18 times for 18 classes, around 700 students, in one week. That it was the same tune as graduation song Hotaru no Hikori was not, according to the Japanese teachers of English, a fact that could only live on my photocopied handouts.

Your annual reminder that the World Darts Championship is like the football World Cup except it's better and is on EVERY YEAR! We're just about to get to the last 16 round, so if you're darts-curious, now is a great time to get involved and soak up all the DRAMA!

Gabriel Clemens described by the darts commentator as "spending years in the wilderness, literally in the wilderness" which sounds like a story worth expanding on.

Matthew Stevens, who I still have filed in my brain as a young up-and-comer, is playing in the seniors snooker tournament.

I enjoyed the before/after images a protest group near me chose to illustrate their objections. If that's how they're going to build it I have objections too. Save Our Mud!

Darts is the best sport. #thedarts

I see someone didn't get MYRRH in six guesses.

Wesley Plaisier being big enough to lean across the oche and place his darts in the board gives him an unfair advantage. Also I'm worried that if this goes badly he might get angry and just eat Gerwyn Price.

Going shopping.

@scully1888.bsky.social Good luck at the darts, mate.

there a trillion magazines now called like ThoughtThink. Unsaid. CensoredMedia. The Believer. CrossingLines. The New Principles Of Thought Project. and every single one has written the same article a million times over that is just "i had to take a diversity training at work and it was annoying"

At some point you need to accept that eager and enthusiastic enforcers are not "afraid".

Saw a good dog on the tube.

Not great, Avanti. Not great.
