Jesus when he comes back to Earth:

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

The #Oscars are... so insipid. Conan is mediocre and the scripted stuff that other hosts are reading out sounds like it was written by AI.

"...his property company paid nothing in corporation tax on its multimillion-pound profits for most of 2018 to 2021." It's incredibly clear who Reform UK really fight for and it's not the British people.

#VeeMakes Ok, here goes. The thread that literally nobody asked for. A how to for The Best Potatoes In All The Land™ Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin...

‘Gender critical’ transphobes, Ex-EHRC Chair Kishwer Falkner, and Sharron Davies both hate other people having bodily autonomy - They’re now trying to stop people getting abortion pills by post! So much for pretending to care about women & girls! 🤷🏼‍♀️😖

the uk no1 single on the day max dowman was born was some streaming nonsense nobody cares about because it’s long after people stopped giving a toss about the charts, that’s how young max dowman is

This is also true about supernovae. A supernova from as far away as the Sun is from the Earth delivers more energy to your eyeball than the detonation of a hydrogen bomb pressed against that same eyeball... ...by nine orders of magnitude. what-if.xkcd.com/73/

regular reminder that people who live in republican governed states still deserve human fuckin rights

"I don't know what weapons the next war will be fought with, but the one after that will be with sticks." "Because of nukes, right?" "No, because we decided logistics was woke."

There’s nothing more obnoxious than when people celebrate being an asshole or “just saying what everyone’s thinking” Yeah, dude, most people have edgy thoughts, and learn to keep them inside. It’s called control. What you’re doing is like being really proud of constantly shitting yourself.

I took this photo in October. It appears to be the same mink, based on the distinctive white markings on its throat. laurel-gale.pixels.com/featured/a-m... #nature #wildlife 📷🐡

Watching Harsh Goenka get thoroughly and deservedly dunked on has made this week significantly better.

Finally, an answer to the song m.youtube.com/watch?v=RPYl... ngl garlic is less interesting than astronauts or aliens.

On the anniversary of his passing, I can only quote his most important line. #GNUTerryPratchett

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

So, like, we get this long plastic tube, yeah, and like, we put one end in the gulf and then I put my mouth to the other end and suck - hey don't laugh man - and yeah the petrol comes through all the way till you taste it and I kid you not man the petrol will just start flowing like automatically...

This essay made my think of my own privileges in an Indian context. And "straight Hindu Brahmin male" is possibly the easiest setting available, and that was a sobering realisation.

This account has removed references of it being an AI from its profile and now just says "runs on a desktop", which is additional dishonesty.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent. State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes. www.wired.com/story/gramma...

Pitch an unnecessary sequel: Lost in Translation 2: Now with more Nothing happening!

Come on, man. It was a public consultation, the public chose animals, badgers are great, there's more to be worried about than seeing a hedgehog on a fiver, leave the nonsense culture war frothing to Kemi & Nige, yeah?

Replace them all with badgers

I really feel bad for Sir Tim Berners-Lee. >> creates the first web browser >> founds W3C >> WITHIN his lifetime, sees his life’s work laid waste

Can't believe we've found the one batshit culture war nonsense that is actively funny, I hope this fucking nonsense rumbles on for DAYS

But the vigilante is always the "good" guy. When Sauron or Vader or the Scar is killed, then suddenly the rest of the bad guys fold and the good guys live happily ever after*. This is their worldview. The movies completely ignore that the Scouring never happens so my point stands.

I'm not one of those people who dislikes Jira, I've used it without issue before. But dear god the Atlassian people don't make it easy to love when they subscribe you into EVERY DAMN EMAIL POSSIBLE for all products when you get a managed account. No, I don't want a daily Confluence digest.

My lumps My bumps They're plumping up my humps

This is both lovely and heartbreaking. Be good to people, y'all.

This, and also calling any of those emergency numbers from any country that supports one of those will work. You call 911 or 112 in the UK and it will redirect you to 999 so don't worry if in the heat of it you use a different one.

The only thing I hate more is having to maintain *my own* shitty code, and the hate is proportional to the time between writing it and looking at it again.

There’s a terrible tendency that any time anyone comes along and starts saying things that are popular from a left perspective, established thinking goes ‘all very nice yes, but it’s not SERIOUS is it’ even whilst all the accepted serious people fail absolutely constantly at the absolute basics.

A colleague said she liked to watch classic Bollywood movies. I asked which ones, and she named a movie released in 2007.

two parrots on a perch. one says, can you smell fish?

Thanks to Trump’s pointless war, backed by Farage & Badenoch, the economy is about to be hit hard & bills are going back up! And Reform UK's plan? To cut all investment in homegrown British renewables. Their plan would leave us even more dependent on foreign fossil fuels & exposed when crises hit.

LEEEEROYYYY JENKIIIIIINS!!!! (I can't remember how it ended for Leroy and his buddies, someone remind me?)

All right you primitive screwheads, listen up. We honestly aren’t all that interested in T20 cricketers who aren’t Jasprit Bumrah any more. www.kingcricket.co.uk/jasprit-bumr...

The Conservatives promised new hospitals and never even had a plan to fund them. Labour has now pushed those plans decades into the future. Meanwhile patients in Winchester are still waiting for basic repairs to the hospital they rely on today. www.hampshirechronicle.co.uk/news/2591665...

Panic! At The Fertilizer Desk, US Edition Americans: this is your regular reminder that maybe 0.01% of people who write for the news actually understand how fertilizer works. But their editors all found out that scary headlines about "GLOBAL SHORTAGE??" get clicks.

holy shit

My fervent wish is that someday soon the media and others will stop using the term ‘influencer’ and start using ‘greedy attention seeker’.

When men's workload is automated, it's genius; when women's workload is automated it's a character flaw and morally questionable.
