Just a reminder that Trump & Musk have committed an atrocity, the effect of which won’t be seen for months.

University administration: "We need you to complete 26 hours of lab safety training 🧪 each year so that everyone is safe and responsible." Also university administration:

You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

Not a fan of the Soviet Union but you have to admit that 'cosmonaut' is just a phenomenal term. Just sublime

"I used AI to generate videos of girls who wanted me" BRING BACK BULLYING! STUFF THESE NERDS IN LOCKERS *IMMEDIATELY*! EVERY SECOND THAT PASSES WITH THEM UNWEDGIED IS TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS AND GALLONS OF WATER SQUANDERED!!!

Is there a bigger downgrade than OpenAI going from "we're building the machine god" to "the computer is horny now"?

And it needs more research funding. Most cancers are difficult to detect early on. Finding ways to do so needs a lot of research effort and research $$

The use of AI to marionette a woman whose tortured existence was spent trying to carve her own life and identity out of the space men forced her into is both damningly macabre and a surprisingly perfect encapsulation of the problems with this ghoulish use of technology.

(Duck church) Duck preacher: give us this day our daily bread *duck parishioners start going wild and quacking HALLELUJAH*

the most annoying people on here are going to force me to mute wholesome words like "taco" and "elmo" because they're afraid to say the names of their enemies

Crazy that we hear about Train Drivers who get £60,000 a year for driving a train. But we never hear about the boss of Tesco who gets £30,000 a day and doesn't even pay tax in the UK. Or the £250m a day that the likes of Amazon, Vodafone, BP and Shell don't pay in tax.

oh you asked chatgpt? well I got high on paint fumes and asked the fae in the woods and they think you're lame as hell for that.

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

“What’s the charge? Eating a seal?”

it's terrifying how many times i see a column, or a politician, say 'i have had a great idea!' and when i read, or listen, to their idea im like 'well, that would be nazism'. like the nytimes recently saying autistic ppl should be further categorised. 'oh jus like how the nazis did?'

I fucking hate how being anti-AI means constantly having to explain and defend yourself but being pro-AI means you get to spout whatever bollocks you want and you'll get given all the money in the world about it

Whomst could have possibly foreseen that the online safety act would create massive security risks? www.theguardian.com/media/2025/o...

How did we go through a global pandemic spread by coughs and sneezes and still end up with people coughing in crowded spaces without covering their mouth? The guy sat behind me on the bus keeps coughing and I can feel it hitting my neck 🫠

As somebody with asthma who uses inhalers - SHUT THE FUCK UP. THIS ARTICLE IS SHAMING PEOPLE WITH A CHRONIC CONDITION. "Significantly" My ass. You know what else does? AI Data centers - corporations - cows - asphalt - THOUSANDS OF OTHERS THINGS THAT ARE NOT MEDICINE. Fuck you - fuck you again.

Stop making jokes. Taylor Swift only puts homophobia in her lyrics when she's extremely distressed.

Shout out to my absolute legend of a GP for 1) approving my meds increase but also 2) for me apparently sounding so masc over the phone that he decided to use he/him in my notes *even when mentioning pmdd*. He asked my pronouns when we first met and noted I’m they/them but this is just sweet. Ally

This is most definitely *not* the lesser of any two weevils

You can technically install Tinder on a Kindle but it's dangerous if you get a match

Home Secretary: Freedom of speech is a sometimes right to be reserved as a treat for cheat days

look at this frog butt

Let’s be clear: the government is failing to fend off hate campaigns by Britain’s utterly poisonous right wing press, so it is urging the public and journos to instead go after members of the public, for protesting against the annihilation of the Gaza Strip, as a diversion.

Montague told us: “My inner wisdom is telling me to break up with my boyfriend, pack a bag and start a new life under the sea – but then it’s also telling me I need to peel this satsuma in one clean strip or my family will die.”

My pal @beccapaintmore.bsky.social is making big gay stickers relating to big nerdy media! They're great! www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Prou...

Arson is a funny way to say terrorism tbh

Divorced, Beheaded, Missing, Recreated, Animated, Survived

"Protests Are Highly Effective, Met Police Confirm"

EXPLOSION GANG!!!

The night was cold and dark. “Listen to the wind howling in the trees,” said Frog. “What a fine time for a ghost story.”

How did the daily tism get my baby photos and manage to interview my child self

The thing about AI is that it ultimately doesn't matter how realistic it gets, or looks, or sounds, or seems - those are all red herrings. The problem at its heart is that nothing it produces comes from a real person, and it therefore has no aesthetic value. That's it. No more needs to be said.

The government's response to the "no ID" petition. Make it make sense. Not compulsory, but mandatory. It's not a physical card. So how will people without phones have this "not compulsory, but mandatory" digital ID? #IDCard

Finally able to chat to an adviser about my tax refund. I filed my self assessment in April, requested the refund in May. They’re now like oh we didn’t know bc it was a voluntary return. BUT I FILED IT. “you could have requested it via PAYE” could you not have told me that after reviewing my return

3 years ago i learned how to use the worst (imo) database software in the world which unfortunately is a brilliant repository for all the data I need right now And it looks like I never made any notes on how it fuckin works

She also didn’t need to get a job while she wrote her trite first book coz she just wrote it eating for free all day in her brother-and-law’s swanky cafe. @caelan.bsky.social has an amazing video about this, she’s MONSTROUS. Worse than you think.

My favourite thing about JK Rowling claiming she lived through poverty is the state provided her with a one-bedroom flat which she always refers to as “a glorified bedsit”. The “glorified” bit is: a separate bedroom and living room.

Men are scared women will laugh at them, women are scared men will kill them. Except old rich cis women who are so privileged that all they have to be scared about is other women rolling their eyes at them

Hi! We've made the Put This In Your Ear Object. It is the ideal size and shape to put in your ear, feels really nice when you put it in your ear, and can be used to clean out earwax, by putting it in your ear. Just one thing, though. Under NO circumstances should you put this in your ear.

Nonbinary people are nonbinary and they're trans if they say they are. Stop with the oppression Olympics and gatekeeping. I love ALL the members of our trans community, including enbies.
