"Dear University, we at GlobalHyperMegaCorp laid off all our staff so are offering you the opportunity to do our R&D for us. We need a buzzword salad by next Tuesday, I'm sure a student could do it for 2p and a shiny button. Look forwards to you accepting this prestigious collaboration."

Relying on personal responsibility fails every single time. You can't ask a motorist to do the right thing, you have to design the street or parking lot so doing the wrong thing is physically impossible.

Two of my absolute favorite things about the Bible are (a) nobody agrees on how to number the Ten Commandments, and (b) there are very obviously more than ten of them

i guess those celebrating soras death didnt get the memo that some of us need daily personalized greetings from james bond—for mental health

don't these people care that I specifically will have to deal with people who yell at me about how they are "going to live on the moon in 8 years and they will need a human shaped robot" and how dare I be so mean about the thing that is definitely going to happen

psst the things this man is saying are completely unfeasible on this timeline if you think about it for two seconds. this is a grift to get money to contractor friends and lie until Trump kicks the bucket. but I know people will fall for it.

Wind & solar are currently producing 65% of Britain's electricity. Meanwhile, renewables now offer 30,000 more UK jobs than oil and gas. Meanwhile, we're in a climate emergency. Meanwhile, we're in a fossil fuel supply crisis. Meanwhile, the Tories and Reform want to scrap Net Zero. grid.iamkate.com

fun Weird West dev anecdote: there was a decal on a gun shop that said "riffles" instead of "rifles", i pointed it out in the slack and this was the fix that came through and shipped

You're not really supposed to talk about this.

At least I get to repost the greatest headline the Independent has ever run.

lots of people to block this morning saying "but... Israel". whatever your views are on Israel, Jews in London are Jews who could live in Israel but don't. surely if you have a problem with the existence of Israel you love and celebrate Jews living in Europe? or... not? somehow? for reasons?

Iran has successfully figured out that the religion of the west is not Christianity but, rather, treats

Fortunately, wargaming has given me extensive experience of situations where wars spiral out of control to the point your war aims are just to return to the status quo ante. That's how I know what these guys need to do now is load from an old autosave.

Trans people have always been the canary in the mine. It was the case for the Nazi’s in the 1930s and it’s the case for the Far Right now. It’s the thin end of the wedge and it doesn’t stop here.

“Folklore says I get to live in your house” is an indecent position and people should be ashamed to defend it

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

For decades we have been asked what Luke Skywalker would look like if Padme had survived and Anakin's lawyers got him every other weekend. Ironically, this Luke has killed significantly more womp rats.

rip robert mueller you taught me it was okay to do nothing when faced with the most consequential task of my life

Big Sainsburys has gone mad. No tins isle, everything has been assigned to an ethnic section. India owns kidney beans?

this is an especially funny list of things to cite as negatives of communism at this particular moment in time

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

This is true, however I think Putin has also done bad things, so let's not praise him uncritically

lol. lmao

now that we don't have any oil we have no choice but to accelerate woke energy. you will put up the wind turbines. you will harness the power of the sun. you want treats? say the pronouns bitch

Overheard two foreign students talking about where to cross the road, the conclusion - “nobody cares as long as you don’t die”. That’s the sort of thing we should be patriotic about 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧.

An illegal war waged by two countries the UK arms & supports B52s launched from British soil. Israeli jets built with British parts A UK economy still hooked on fossil fuels. We must end support for the war, cut fossil fuel addiction & support families facing this price shock.

It’s baffling that this so easy to stumble into. Whilst I was at a small NY pizza place a bunch of shady guys showed up, namedropped the owner, and after the waiter headed out back he sat them at the bar and promised them the next table. There should be a “Front Business” tag on tripadvisor.

this one hurts the most

Ah fuck, just heard the petri dish of human brain cells called an opponent the f-slur during a stream and they've had their channel suspended.

Guy who made 800 million dollars selling a website named ToodleCo to Yahoo in 1996 and has done nothing since then but now has $100 billion: the concept of “human kindness” was invented by bolshevik psychologists in 1953, no one heard of that term until then Podcast Host: fascinating, I have worms

Holy shit y’all I just got an email I’d like to nominate for the "Wildest All-Faculty Email" Hall of Fame

HISTORICAL FACT: People used to use "y" as th - "ye olde pube" etc - because Y is close to T on the keyboard and they weren't as good at typing back then
