I’m watching Fullmetal Alchemist for the first time cos it’s on Netflix and everyone says it’s good

Bang on. Let’s call it what it is, what they are…

day 151 of making a cow tools every day unless i don't

This by Mahmood is frankly not only disgusting, but also massively disingenuous. It equates seeking asylum with illegality, there's nothing illegal about seeking asylum no matter the route. It ignores that Labour's policies penalise those in need of protection, and plays to hard right rhetoric.

Whole Vampire outfit (including hat and monocle) made from wine bottle foil and wire.

If you need me, tap me on the shoulder. I’ll be happily working all day listening to this on a loop.

Just found this great small channel where a cool beardy husky dude makes like, Al Capone's favourite pasta and then absolutely goes to town on it. www.youtube.com/@KazMielony

Mia Goth in Frankenstein is proof that the Clark Kent disguise would have worked on me

manifesting a Sadiq Khan defection to the Greens

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Aside from the cruelty of this, I’d just like to know why it’s ok to ignore and disappoint liberal/progressive voters. Why do governments chase Farage and his voters, thinking that will neutralise them. It’s NEVER worked. He’s leading in the polls and his ideas have ruined us. WTF are you doing?

If I've seemed more than usually inane it's because it turns out I am _profoundly_ anaemic, because I am currently eating a diet that is basically devoid of iron. Most iron rich foods are also foods that COULD KILL ME

Idk what I did to earn this but my algorithm has decided I'm really interested in professional gloving

It’s Friday! Hurrah! The weather is grey and damp so this week the theme is…hot. So let’s see those flames As usual I’ll repost the lot and if you like something, share it! #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

Matt Gaetz is a real classic of the “In a just world, the name would mean as much to me as Nordic runes” genre. Instead he’s internationally known and like a comic book villain from one of those issues where they ran out of ideas that week and Batman is fighting some dude just called “The Pervert”

I bought some nice bed linen in a Black Friday sale and have learned it is an investment that's really worth making if you can

I increasingly think that the right’s rhetorical use of “rape” as an ultimate wrong that can be attributed to, say, racial others is not a hypocritical contradiction of their embrace of rape in practice, but in fact core to it: they degrade victims further by appropriating & mocking their suffering.

I think basically every CEO could be replaced with an early 2000s chatbot and have never seen any evidence to the contrary

So many talented and wonderful people were let down by Future Class. Younès in particular will always have my support, respect and love for standing by their principals and organising others to do the same.

Reminder: If you use generative AI for *any of your writing tasks* you are a Slopper not a writer and should be ashamed of yourself. The end.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

Don't miss HORSES preview and interview with director Andrea Lucco Borlera in this month's Edge Magazine (Issue #417)!

“Don’t gather some of the most brilliant activists in the industry, treat us like crap, and then expect us to do nothing about it.” After the Game Awards cancelled its Future Class programme, @alyssamerc.bsky.social talked to its former honorees www.theguardian.com/games/2025/n...

Very sad to see certified legend Michael D. Higgins go. Respectfully request he starts an unproblematic beehiiv newsletter about dogs and poetry

A radio programme like the Shipping Forecast but it’s called Bin Day and it just reads out every single council in the country’s bin schedule

obviously you only sell almost $6 billion in stock when you're certain a company is going to get even more valuable

It’s even funnier if you read the list

Joining many people applauding this review (and Rick Lane, the reviewer) for arguing a difficult point very well.

Performative reading isn't white men reading in public, it's people saying they routinely read 300 books a year

When Rosie Duffield is in on it I think we can safely say the anti-phone campaign in Brianna's name is actively at odds with tackling transphobia

LONDON/BRIGHTON folks! In TWO WEEKS I'm hosting Can You Solve the Murder? Live at Waterstones Piccaddilly (Mon 24) and Brighton (Tues 25). It's a NEW ✨festive edition✨ of the interactive game, so come along and see if you'd make a good detective… 🎄🔍

"You, like Nigel Farage, are simply lying about what the ONS says." I somewhat lost my patience with Reform Councillor Bill Piper here.. (from about 1h 27 min in) www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Progressive thought has been totally expunged from the British political mainstream, and *still* the argument is that there’s an unacceptable institutional bias to the left within the news media. It is *utterly* mad. Very clear for all to see what’s happening here.

Was in the foyer of my local leisure centre at 11am today and the 2 minute silence was interrupted by a guy in full body armour with a sword asking when the two minute silence would be because there was no clock in the Bushido practice room and none of them were wearing watches.

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Really excited because i follow the guy doing daily updates on a perpetual stew and he’s reaching day 200 tomorrow

I hope everyone is passing a solemn Remembrance Sunday as I am: listening to their dad repeatedly shout SHUT UP at the Remembrance TV programme commentator for talking over the band

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

Really enjoyed Frankenstein (obviously, Guillermo my beloved) but kind of baffled by Jacob Elordi’s accent in it.

Played the demo for There Are No Ghosts At The Grand and the best description I have is that it made me feel like Mel Brooks when he was on The One Show and blurted out 'What a crazy show this is!' in the middle of a segment (complimentary) store.steampowered.com/app/3725190/...

I was in hospital again this week lol (discharged after a night in A&E on the old IV pain killers, so I’m generally trending up)

What happened to those days when ITV or ITV2 would be showing The Mummy and/or The Mummy Two every other weekend, country’s gone to the dogs

Great to see *checks notes* two time Emmy nominee Nick Mohammed finally breaking through.
