😂 What a dipshit.

So... I don't use TikTok and can't check, but is this censorship story real? I've only seen a single screenshot, reposted multiple times, and I can't see how it is even saying what is claimed.

Nine years to the day since Graham Linehan foresaw his own fate.

This is one of the strangest and most screwed-up stories I’ve worked on. www.londoncentric.media/p/tiktok-lon...

Every morning I take my Dog out for a walk and a poo, in the park..it's brilliant, she always barks to let me know if someone is coming. So I can quickly pull up my jeans and pretend I was looking for her ball...

This feels at once shocking and about right, once I think of it. What a shitty decade or so. www.ft.com/content/66eb...

Relentless good news on the energy transformation.

Mafia goon: Nice house you got here...it'd be a shame if something happened to it Media outlets: Mafia goon rules out use of force. Expresses regret at the mere thought of it

This is the thing. The story that "the UK is joining a mission to defend European territory from US aggression" is *huge*, it overturns a century of geopolitical assumptions, it'd overwhelm everything else. But the story is also "one guy goes on trip which may well go nowhere". Which is silly.

Was talking to my fellow mid 40s friend recently, who is playing through RE on VR for the first time and I noted that it was a Quite Tricky Game If I Remember Correctly and he concurred.

After a decade plus of them, I never could be sure if their malice was accentuated or mitigated by their incompetence but with Jenrick reprising the experience I can be sure of one thing: LOL.

Great news that gets on the tits of bad people is the ultimate twofor. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff

If you follow this argument through to its logical conclusion there should be a UK Government channel on pornhub.

A picture is worth 1000 words... This appeared on the BBC News today, showing the increase in solar electric generation in the UK. Not sure who produced it, but genuinely think this is a genius piece of scientific communication - the construct and choice of colour scale is near-perfect. Chapeau!

Someone who a) writes for a living b) on politics, and he can't parse this, wtf.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely. youtu.be/R9XN1iOungs?...

We've done some boxing by mistake

Home Alone...I should be so lucky.

A gay friend of my dad's came back from holiday, having seen NFL and excitedly declared, "I've discovered 'Rugby: The Musical'"

Took me a second to get it but this is 😘 👌

Clean electricity is officially growing fast enough in China that the level of fossil generation is falling, even as overall demand rises. They've gotten over the hump.

This reminds me: my eldest has expressed interest in getting into D&D, and we'd like to try it as a family (adult*2, 12yo, 11yo). Are there any resources or tips for how to start, having never played before?

Always had this sense that Blue Labour was a loosely socially conservative faction within Labour. This is absolute cookoo.

Huge respect to the papers for finding both an 88 year old worried about the tax bill on her 6 bedroom Kensington house and a 20 year old fretting about only being able to save £12k a year tax free. Top work all around. These are not easy case studies to find.

Forced an involuntary whoah out of me

reality show called 'We Can Always Tell' where you drop terfs on an island and tell them that one of them is secretly trans. every episode they have to vote on who it is and obsessively transvestigate one another - her height! her forehead! she's suspiciously perfect, it's surgery! they are all cis

Reminder transphobia affects more than just trans people

I still haven't got used to ribbon menus so this confirms my status as a fossil.

I don't think I've ever felt as broken from a tech problem as I do now. Two hours trying everything I can think of to transfer my son's minecraft worlds off his (kids profile) amazon fire.

Even as someone who recalls Joe Marlers record, it was hard not to feel it watching his heart break in full public view.

Is there some polling showing that this was the high salience issue? Cos, you know, double-yew tee eff, mate. www.ft.com/content/8669...

Outstanding. This entry is a journey.

Wait what. People don't join professional services firms in the expectation of staying on a graduate wage. City bosses warn on pay as minimum wage closes in on graduate salaries - on.ft.com/3JivCRk via @FT

The British public implicitly believe if that if you are renting with £1m in the stock market you are wealth and if you take that money and buy your flat for £1m you suddenly have zero wealth. That’s bizarre and funny!!!

I was opening a bunch of PDFs in acrobat yesterday and my computer's fans were going wild. I have a lot of RAM so this was surprising to me. Turns out Acrobat now generates AI summaries by default when you open a file, instead of just asking if you want one (which I never do).

At least 49 relatives and colleagues of Afghans in data leak have been killed, study suggests

Companies with a more expensive cost of capital should fund those with cheaper access to capital. To prevent harm to the economy. Obviously.

Can confirm, this did not disappoint.

I subscribe to London Centric and "weirdest story" is a high bar.

We are still very much at the start of the roll out of grid scale battery.

Facial recognition isn't my strength but come on - two of the three guys in the foreground have the same jowly face don't they?

We contain multitudes.

With Netanyahu cosying up to Yaxley-Lennon I'm at a loss as to who is doing more damage to their reputation.

Late to this, but exempting crypto firms from an over-arching obligation to act with integrity and take due regard to the best interests of customers is quite on the nose. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Living the dream.

Fuck.
