Has he gone yet?

If there was a chance the new guys would be markedly different and better, about half of their MPs would be on TV right now going apeshit. They are not doing that, so we can conclude agreements have been reached and deals have been made, offscreen.

It should be in the textbooks, the judgment, for illustrating how legal outcomes are constructed by judges' selection and characterisation of facts. Stressing the covert, unapologetic, 'violent' nature of Palestine Action in contrast to the 'good' type of direct action that the Sufragettes did.

The supreme court decided you can be civil disobedience organisation just as long as no one commits crimes or has an affinity group.

I’m not sure “this is totally different from the Suffragettes bc PA is a ‘covert organisation’ that supports its members who have been arrested” really holds water historically.

we're becoming a literal police state. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

C'mon man, the horse I rode in on had nothing to do with it

Happy weekend! Ancient clay pots with octopus decoration from Bronze Age Crete some 3,500 years ago! 🐙❤️ Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

Thread from a couple of weeks ago. People love to blame AI but that very much includes CEOs trying to pass on the blame.

Oh, bullshit. The promotion name, the slogan AND the tumbler size were all fashy memes that Koreans recognized immediately. Maybe they’re spinning this to overseas audiences in hopes that Starbucks headquarters doesn’t strip them of their franchising deal.

This is the reason I think the term 'Oxbridge' is actively unhelpful, it makes the problem seem 50 per cent less bad than it is!

The UK Supreme Court has now decided to strip disabled people of their human rights too "This judgement sets us back decades and removes safeguards that history shows us are vital for disabled people." Horrific www.mind.org.uk/news-campaig...

an hour after this was posted, a labour minister told parliament that customers should "alert member of staff" if a trans person walks into the "wrong toilet"

My endless jokes about sampling bias do grow on people. It happened with all my friends.

Starbucks done EFFED up in Korea. Bad. May 18th just passed, Democratic Movement Day, when rose up after the military dictatorship sent tanks to mass-murder citizens. Some inappropriately call it "Tank Day." Starbucks commemorated Tank Day with a sale on tank tumblers. It gets much worse...

jesus fucking christ lmao

This is true, and I'm sure they're aware "this will replace jobs" goes down terribly with people. The pitch was aimed at their audience: CEOs and venture capitalists.

He’d have got away with it if it wasn’t for you pesky anti Corbynistas

Amazing how Corbyn can control both the Labour Party and the Green Party (though we can all agree, not Your Party)

We think Claude built the Torment Nexus because of the poplar "AI companies build the Torment Nexus" meme

One from the archives. "If you don't like the changes that we've made, I say the door is open, and you can leave"

@nojusticemtg.bsky.social Absolutely loved you corpsing on Novara. Knew it was a matter of time. Side note: apparently "corpsing" comes from actors pretending to be dead but laughing. In any case: you're perfect

Best Star Trek crew, wrong answers only

This is so, so well-articulated.

It's astounding to me that we're 6 years into Starmer's project and this is only the second acknowledge I can remember from the liberal press that Starmer might actually be a horrible person.

What did I say? I said: when Sir Keir has outlived his usefulness, you will not be able to miss it.

To all those calling this argument "stupid", "idiotic" and "asinine": give a thorough theory of human intelligence before making such claims.

loving this youraislopbores.me

Clown show.

I read an excellent paper this weekend on possible and impossible words. It's assumed the formation of words obeys some of the rules in sentence formation (syntax). You only have to look at the route from the verb "edit" or noun "nation" to editorialise or nationalisation to see a productive process

The most unpopular prime minister since records began stands resolutely behind the unprovoked attack on Iran by the two countries that are actively carrying out a genocide in the Middle East. But please, do elaborate more about "extremism on the Left", Mr Human Rights lawyer KC.

I oppose genocide (1/2)

At times like this my partner gets me to play midnight sonata before tearfully breaking the news. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Tr0...

I don’t want to laugh at a small business but also VERY funny

Ain’t I been telling ya

I've seen the video. It's an execution.

Hi it's me, author of "Fuck Unions: Why Dems Need To Destroy Those Dirty Sweaty Hogpeople" back with my latest book, "Gone Woke: How Democrats Lost Their Connection To The Working Class"

Yes now it's embarrassing

100% tariff on the MM/DD/YY format.

Such a pity for Starmer. After capitulating and capitulating he said "ooh steady on" to Greenland, and now.. what? Trump's turned on him? So he debased himself for nothing? If only he could have seen that coming somehow.

I've seen this described as a form of Gell-man Amnesia, but I think there's something else. LLMs *are* (now) quite good at coding, so coders have the opposite effect, and are more likely to think gen AI can do everything.

remarkable

Speedrun Iraq is so much simpler: the American president saying "we're doing this for their oil" and the British PM explaining "we're America's lapdog, we follow whatever they say"

Remember: It is a mystery to every journalist and pundit why this Labour government are so roundly and universally detested.
