There's having a brass neck and then there’s whatever this is from Boris Johnson

I've just remembered when I put the theme from Death in Paradise over the title sequence from The Wire.

there was a young man from cork who got limericks and haikus confused

When movies were shot on physical film, the film was measured in feet. This is why any recorded thing is now called ‘footage.'

Why should any political donations other than a standard annual party membership fee (say £25) be permitted? All other options allow wealthy people disproportionate political influence.

Yeah, this just sucks. All of it sucks. I dunno how to combat something like this tbh.

London has 4x the population, 6x the airports (🤣), but ONLY 3x the gigs. Reporter maths presenting this as a downside for Manchester 🙄 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

F*ck me. They play the man with the nuclear codes a video of 'Call of Duty' every day if he can stay awake for two minutes, and then it's decision time. Anyone else feeling safer?

'I'm pleased to have this opportunity to update you on our longstanding position.' is fucking baller

Big mistakes are being made.

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

They outlawed lawn darts in 1988 after three children died from being impaled by the metal spikes. Hold AI to the same standard!

All of these conditions exist, and people require support for them. If the govt want less people battling the system to claim benefits then they should reverse the decades long project of destroying rights and impoverishing everyone, just to ensure 5 guys with yachts get to buy another yacht.

This. Legal understanding comes from the grunt work of various forms of legal composition. For legal writing is complex not linear, with different parts of a text interconnecting with other parts and other texts.

This is the conservative pitch to most Americans: Sure, you might be suffering as a result of our policies, but other people -- people who are different from you, people you don't like -- they're suffering a lot more than you, so it all works out.

One of many things which might have l grown an ounce of humanity in him.

Making original things is good

After all I said in this morning's NS column, I do still revert to my simplest reading on this entire farce. Which is Trump would not withstand five minutes against a single Derry ma just saying "did ye, aye right enough?" over and over.

Michael Sheen's House of Games. Interesting 🤔

a particularly maddening part of the past 14 months is how so many other countries have played along with even trump’s most reckless ideas. to see others, especially allies, finally telling him to cut the shit is actually comforting, in a way.

I think I can write a bit, then I wake up to something like this and have to go right back to the drawing board...

It feels like there must be a take that the whole Iran thing is a conspiracy to kill off dependency on oil

This video pops up every now and again, and I reckon it’s the dog equivalent of the Tom Holland dance video. A must-watch.

listen to this and get even madder at the government than you already are, it's good for you

Once again, the culture warriors deeply misunderstand the deep underlying psyche of the British people. The British people were offered nice animals and they overwhelmingly favoured nice animals.

It’s a bit like how we didn’t ‘overfind’ more stars when telescopes were invented. Why has going after neurodivergent people become a national sport? www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Things look grim in the markets right now, but at least the U.S. economy wasn’t already being propped up by a massive speculative AI bubble that is highly sensitive to rising energy costs.

The Discourse has become sort of numb to the fact that the richest guy on earth and owner of a major social media platform just routinely spits out the kind of nakedly white supremacist shit that until a decade ago you rarely saw outside of places like Stormfront.

NEXT SUNDAY! All Remembered Mothers' names to me please by 10p.m Saturday 14th. Reposts appreciated.

Trailer for season 2 Deadloch features this great cast, a Hemsworth, a shirt with a hammerhead shark on it, multiple crocs, angry tour guides; they have ticked every single box, no notes 🐊🙌🏻 March 20 cannot come soon enough youtu.be/bEu3XAz0otY?...

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying… “Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”

A+ nickname

This was a very confusing post to see 🇮🇪

Here’s an easy mnemonic to help you remember the 26 letters of the alphabet

So…we’re NOT invading to protect the Iranians who protested the regime, like Trump claimed? Now we’re going to kill them all instead?

EXT: Day. The grave of Noel Edmonds. A figure lies face down in the freshly dug soil, sobbing inconsolably. CAPTION: GREYFRIARS BLOBBY.

Ah, so he’s one of those people who thinks coding is “just typing syntax” and not, y’know, THINKING THINGS THROUGH The problem with vibe-coding isn‘t that people are outsourcing the “typing syntax” part, it’s that they’re outsourcing the “planning, logic, and structure” parts

Dear Shabana, Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.

Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

*sigh*

This is off the table stuff. We were meant to have moved in from this. This should finish the party unless it's seen to radically address it. And Labour should stop using Reforms popularity as a justification for its right wing policies. Of course none of this will happen

Wow. The Green Party is now the most popular party in all age categories under 50 in the UK. news.sky.com/story/greens...
