I don't disagree, but 'the East End in the 1980s and 1990s' created social policy problems that we still live with today, and 'the transformation of the East End' had a much better underlying rationale and cause than 'uh, we need £160mn to make the OBR light go green'.

It’s been a year since I started my band, 1023 megabytes. Still not one gig.

My messages are questioning hypothetical non skeletal penises of a T-800. And it’s @zomda.bsky.social’s fault.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

In fact, fuck it. Building on what Jess says. Do you cis fuckers have any fucking ideas how much grief we carry? How every trans person has multiple dead friends? How death is just a thing we live with? How everywhere we gather has to have an explicit policy on expressing suicidal ideation?

New bus service for Cambridge's Mill Road Romsey Town. Circular via Ross Street, Fairfax Road & Thoday Street. One (slow) service on the third Sunday of November.

It wasn’t me. It could be. But it wasn’t.

Gillian Anderson can do a decent Northern Irish accent so she can.

Marler leans in close, “Nick, we’ll ride this to the end,” Trust fractures in flame.

Halloween. So I listen to Zombie. I always cry for the childhood I had forced on me, and for the hope Mo Mowlam gave me. And I mourn how I’ll probably never feel hope like that again.

"To figure out where you fall on this spectrum after you’ve stabbed somebody, ask yourself: Do you feel energized because you have engaged in a social interaction with somebody? Or do you feel satisfied because you’re alone now that the person is dead?"

When cats are confused by or upset about something, they just smack the shit out of whatever it is that's frustrating them and I think that's beautiful.

Fuck the FIA and everyone who got away with doing the same thing he did. Racist ass sport.

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI. Tiny 'making of' vid here - youtu.be/_2RacX9DgWM...

If we ever build a time machine, sabotaging PayPal would have a much bigger moral pay off than anything involving the phrase “baby Hitler”

Terrific weekend essay by @henrymance.bsky.social

The police will tell you they have 'no choice' because PA are a proscribed organisation but come to Belfast and you learn very quickly that is a lie. This is absolutely a choice.

When did we stop caring that words have meanings?

We don’t want to be saintly here.

If you were to graph the speed with which the AI is able to manipulate and add features based on my prompts, the graph is basically going to be one of exponential growth over time. Much like the time it takes typical humans to build software if they don't spend time refactoring.

Go make pasta and kale Swiss roll.

You know, having read Planetary, I’m just not sure a crewed lunar mission called “Artemis” is exactly what we need right now www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Anyone under the age of 26 who lived in the UK through 2020 should be given £2,000 by the government in exchange for all they sacrificed during Covid - education, relationships, jobs - to protect a largely ungrateful cohort of entitled elders.
