Seeing Woo pop up in the 2020s is bizarre, as I know them as a couple of weird guys who'd occasionally visit my best mate's parents in the 80s and give them a CD. The concept that anyone else had heard of them is weird to me 😀

Breaking: Greenland now adequately defended.

Well, *someone* was going to kick off 2026 in style and only a fool would have bet against DJT.

I dreamt Jamie Oliver was a really high up Roman Freemason and he’d invented a ritual called RAGGIO POLPO where prospects had to eat an immense raw octopus that weighed about ten stone as he sat on a purple throne clapping and laughing and shouting ‘get it down you!’.

Wearing my most festive t-shirt for the last day in the office of 2025.

During my theological research into the history of GOD (the UK band) I stumbled across this. Yes, that is The Artists Later Known As Blur opening for Slab! and The Young Gods at Dingwalls in 1989.

I'd be happier about DW facing the nonce-equences if the media hadn't been covering up for him for decades...

Hearing rumours this Trump guy is not a nice person. Huge if true.

bbc archaeology documentary: ... and these beads, tools, and jewels from 3000 years ago show people had been coming here from as far as africa, settling to make a life in britain and adding to our culture. bbc news: MIGRANTS: IS BRITAIN TOO FULL? WE ASK TWO RACISTS AND A TRANSPHOBE.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

My main takeaway from A House of Dynamite: run your country in such a way that you don't have multiple options for who might want to nuke you.

"Ooh, Copilot is down, does anyone have any advice?" Yes! Think! With your brain! If you don't know something, research it and learn! Grow as a human! Communicate with people using *your* words!!!

Being a British parent is so weird bc you're actually worried about paying the sky high rent/mortgage & getting GP appointments but the entire press keeps telling you you're worried there's a trans person or immigrant nearby & the vat on Eton means there'll only be two skiing holidays this year
