I hate that any picture is now suspicious if it looks any good. Is this one generated or real?

If you see someone getting raptured, grab onto their ankles and prevent them leaving until they sign something giving you their house. Gotta keep these things legal!

I know this is even less consequential than most of the drivel I post here, but I got my resoled shoes back and they look great! They have new unworn soles! They've been reconditioned and cleaned! I immediately walked several miles with Henry in them, I'm betting I regret that later.

would a drone with large enough spaces "filled" with vacuum provide natural buoyancy in air? I'm assuming the vacuum chambers would weigh too much to provide any benefit?

Oh lord, I hope this is true.

The best advert for the Greens 💚

Breakfast with the PM this morning alongside colleagues. We chatted about the big issues people in Basingstoke raise with me daily. The NHS, cost of living, and stopping illegal immigration. Labour will bring the patriotic renewal our country needs, built on inclusion, tolerance, and hope.

Suddenly, Mfs are submitting PRs with flawless grammar, detailed steps to reproduce it, and all sorts of technical references. The detailed report is 15 page long. Me:

I feel like a madman pointing this out but the plausible, real world explanation for the marked uptick in work visas after 2019 is quite simply that in the previous year, the UK blew up its entire labour market by getting rid of FOM, on which it was intrinsically and inherently dependent.

I wonder how quickly the silent white masses of the USA would stand up if trump and his supporters were Black?

Great advice.

Why do people feel justified in maligning people born a few years from them? Though I'm not saying it's equivalent, try swapping those generations for different ethnicities. Feels very wrong. Besides, gen-x is by far the best generation, worship our cynicism and detachment.

Most times you read a published comic of yours and you see things here and there that bug you, that you'd want back. Occasionally you read one and get that sweet 'nope, nothing I'd change there. Really strong.' This week's Judge Dredd: And To The Sea Return in @2000AD 2451 is a good 'un.

Can someone please wake me up? Were there really charlie kirk deepfakes in his memorial extravaganza? That said things he's never said? And US citizens are just fine with this or don't even know what's happened in the past year.

jesus fucking christ. no pun intended.

100%. We're being governed based on whatever the dumb creepy angry uncle at thanksgiving would say, with the extra bonus of zero forethought.

The population of my little flag heavy town in NE England is predominantly white, there are few members of ethnic minorities. Yet the first bus, at 0600, to leave for nearby Teesside was mainly passengers from ethnic minorities. Many were wearing lanyards, uniforms etc. Strange that....

The single #Thunderbolt 4 / #USB C cable I use to connect my MacBook to the dock/screen/network/keyboard/mouse now works with my #Pixel 10. I literally have a desktop in my pocket!

Sitting while Black. The caucasity. I bet this old white woman thinks she struck a blow for "decency" or some bullshit.

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

I adore this movie. So earnestly cheesy but still enjoyable.

I continue working on a provider-agnostic agent shell, powered by ACP. I need to peek at ACP traffic all the time, so its traffic viewer gets some improvements... xenodium.com/introducing-... #emacs #claude #anthropic #ai #google #gemini #llm #claudecode

as a human, god (no pun intended) this is embarrassing.

I wonder what it would take to convince trump that he's really Chunk from The Goonies, and to save America he has to the The Truffle Shuffle.

This is why doctors suggest you forget to drink liquid with your pills for a bit & hold them in your mouth while you scramble faor something. The nasty taste as the pills start to dissolve in your mouth before you wash them down imprints in your memory as a handy reminder you took your pills.

wheee, today i taught myself to examine encrypted QUIC streams by extracting key material from a browser and then examining the wire protocol in wireshark :D if you use wireshark >=4.4, it can unpack many types of custom compression QUIC uses

Y'all really fucked around and let the WORST possible man occupy the Oval Office. Fuck y'all for eternity.

Lib Dems: We have 12x Reform's MPs, can we have the same coverage? BBC: But Reform has 2x your poll rating. If there were an election tomorrow, they'd be running the country. Lib Dems: So you're putting their people and policies under scrutiny, right? BBC: Lib Dems: Right?

guys. dudes. bros. Just don't do this. Please. Leave women alone! And if you see someone you know doing this, tell them to stop. Yeah that conversation might make you feel uncomfortable, imagine how it makes women feel???

The FDA issued a recall for a dozen brands of cinnamon sold nationwide for elevated lead levels. Consuming the cinnamon may be unsafe, and consumers should throw away the products immediately, the FDA warned. newsnationnow.com/us-news/reca...

Got Covid jab, flu shot and MMR today. They told me to come back for tetanus and HPV. I said um ain't HPV just for teens and whatever? They said no, now it's recommended for under 45. Check with your doctor. Either way, I feel 👍🏿 Normally get Moderna but they only had Pfizer. Hope it's the same.

Acquaintance is visiting from Germany. I have a bowl of Halloween candy up so she tried some, a Hershey, & gagged. "So many of you are well traveled & know better. I don't know why they call this chocolate or how you put up with this shit". Fucking hell. I appreciate American politeness more now.

Wow, a whisker off 58% for wind. Yes at 9.12PM British televisions are over whelmingly powered by renewables. Our electricity gets cleaner and cleaner. via www.gridiamkate.com #NetZero #LoveNetZero

An armoured column approaches a devastated village. Artillery has reduced the surrounding forest to blackened stumps. A few drones attack the tanks and APCs but are shot down quickly by laser cannon. People huddle in a church cellar, dirty, thin, and sickly. The column nears the village outskirts.

3 times in the past 2 days, Henry the dog has been called "gorgeous" or "beautiful". Why on earth do I feel proud when he gets compliments lmao

The fascists on the high street were far outnumbered today. Only 80 far-right idiots protested on the High Street, while hundreds of us gathered near the war memorial showing Colchester welcomes refugees. Acceptance, not hate!

It's corporations, their executives, and their shareholders that abuse the H1B visa. They love being able to pay less for an employee, that's all it is. I really can't see this new edict staying as-is, because all the big tech companies abuse H1Bs and they'll soon be wailing in trump's ear.

🛠️ Just shipped Home Assistant 2025.9.4, the last patch in the 2025.9 series. Next week the beta for 2025.10 begins 😄 Have a great weekend and happy automating 🍻 #HomeAssistant #SmartHome #OpenSource #Automation
