General PSA for everyone despairing at the ruined Google search @kagi.com search is better than old Google search. It's not free, but it's the equivalent of a sandwich per month Consider that the cost of not being bombarded with ads and having all your personal data sold out every time you search

T minus 57 minutes. Don't think I've been this excited for a new album to drop in a decade or more youtu.be/74NluS3jzTo?...

Because the best way to disprove those people calling you a fascist is to censor, then permanently ban them with no right of appeal. Free speech absolutism indeed. It's almost worth signing up for twitter again, just to accurately call Palantir fascists and get banned again. Almost, but not quite

I didn't realise that Gilfoyle had climbed so far up the corporate ladder

You know, if an illegal war, started by the most consequential climate change denier on the planet led to a permanent substantial switch to renewables, I might even smile on this sunny Friday evening www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I criticise Disney a lot for their endless remakes, but credit where it's due, this is awesome

As with every TMBG release, I'm finding it impossible to choose a favourite. Every song is catchier than the last

Every candidate for Scottish Labour is running on an explicit platform of trans segregation, even the ones you like, do not vote for a single one of them

It took me getting norovirus at weekend to force my body to stop for 3 days and get fully charged on sleep for the first time in years. Less than 48 hours later, that genocidal fuckwit in the whitehouse has me wide awake at 1am. There's clearly far more pressing reasons to despise him, but still

Look, No matter what happens, at least all those brave would-be Woodward and Bernsteins have got neat new pocket squares, so the press did all it could to call it out

For those in the UK, a reminder that you can find your local MPs contact details and write to them here. This is not just a US issue when the flights are departing UK soil. members.parliament.uk/FindYourMP

Today, of all days since he first said it, this message could not be more timely or relevent

Red alert. It's happening! Over the last few days, a handful of customers on the bleep store received a mysterious VHS cassette in their order, marked with a hexagon logo. After 13 years, this really looks like the start of a new Boards of Canada album launch campaign youtu.be/o4sjDZ2sGwg?...

At least Macron didn't bury his ex-wife on a golf course as a tax dodge

The @glasgowfilmfest.bsky.social opening gala last night, Everybody to Kenmure Street, is a spectacularly good film. At a time when Reform is gaining ground in Scotland, it couldn't be more important. It'll make you feel proud to be Glaswegian, proud to be Scottish or just proud to be against hate

This is insane

One of the things They don't tell you is that a lot of being creative involves wondering whether or not you're screaming into the void. And a lot more of it is realising that as long as you're screaming, that's the point. And a lot of the rest of it is working out if you're singing or screaming

50 years ago: One day, everyone will own a computer Today: We need all the computer components for our spicy plagiarism machine, but we'll sell you limited access, to fund it

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says. The full story: lataco.com/protest-bagp... By Julianne Le

Yesterday it was cows using tools, today its penguins using satellite imagery.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

Katherine Hepburn in Keeper of the Flame. This is so on point. 🎯

When people talk about reasons to leave X, the fact that the owner is a mass murderer doesn't get mentioned enough. The Grok porn stuff is foul. The naked white nationalism is foul. This is worse.

What the everloving fuck is this monstrosity?

I've been working through the archives of the Minimal Wave show on NTS since I discovered it last month and, as it turns out, it's EXACTLY the sort of music I didn't realise that I needed to hear right now. Namely 70's and 80's synth, electro-pop and industrial. www.nts.live/shows/veroni...

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

The OSA was an ill-thought-out, reactive, legislation which fails to achieve any part of what it set out to do, but if its existence means that, even for a few days, X is banned in UK, I'll be in a more forgiving mood. Where will all our politicians post their trivia? It won't, but a man can dream

The Michel Gondry 'Work of Director' dvd is available on internet archive and is genuinely one of the most creative collections of artistic work I have ever seen. You will feel inspired just for watching it. His music videos in 90s-00s were absolute art archive.org/download/the...

Well, we just watched Life of Chuck and I'm going to be fragile for the rest of the day. Fuck me, that was beautiful

We have already decided as a society that ChatGPT is allowed to tell people’s kids to kill people. Now we’re just debating who.

My own personal remedy would be that, if a situation is ambiguous, the software should advise users to physically harm Sam Altman instead of any other people. Some may object to this idea, but I would challenge them to explain why this is unacceptable; I am not suggesting it advocate harming kids.

Before I got drunk at my in-laws and shat in the punch bowl, I used to play golf with my father in law, but now they're telling my wife to divorce me

@kermodeandmayo.bsky.social I came up with a terrible dad joke last night and, since I have nowhere else to put it, thought it might work in the laughter lift: What condition does someone have, if they hate people with no feet? Lack toes intolerance Love the show, Steve. Tinkety tonk, etc

Hope the BBC Lawyers have the balls to do the same

2025. The year that started with the image of a cybertruck burning outside a trump hotel in Vegas and ends with the statue of liberty collapsing in front of a McDonald's sign.
