So you're telling me the plan was to already have airlocked the guy, but now he's sick they're not gonna? NASA, NASA; space exploration rule #1: Airlock a motherfucker before the eggs hatch

my neice had a pickle bar & fountain

Popped over to twitter briefly just to see Joyce Carol Oates eating people alive again

Rian Johnson: You storyboarded the end sequence of Wake Up, Dead Man yet? Storyboard artist: Sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked. Rian Johnson: what

"Yes my penis is rich & sexy" I shout over the crowd's jeers "and yes that makes me better than you, but is that any reason to hate me? For shame you ingrates, tut tut tut" I finish as the axeman's blade removes my head. I have won a victory here today. I think this rabble will have much to ponder.

I reckon I’m now about twenty years behind TV. Keep getting ads going ‘struggling to fill the gap after TOASTER? Binge all 11 series of THE SWANS today!’ and I’m like, sir, this is the first I’m hearing of TOASTER even.

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

I’m reminded I’m not “allowed” to scream “you’re all going to Hell for this” to most of the people I talk to, professionally

Look, everything feels like a lot right now But at least Robyn is putting out new music, and I think we all deserve that youtu.be/VhxIcmhydos?...

It's a tragedy. A murder. The guy should be locked up like any other murderer. But I doubt that'll happen or that anything will change. Because America *already had* underqualified, overempowered, angry, frightened, stupid wannabe tough guys with a badge shooting innocents, & decided that was fine

Maybe it's just me, but I would've placed "AI will clean your house for you" as a higher priority to solve than "AI will make every artist you like unemployed, while also ruining all the media you consume, while also killing the internet as a source of information, while also generating child porn"

They are so bad at this…

It has become increasingly clear that X - a platform now actively producing explicit and abusive material against women and children - is not an appropriate platform to be using for our comms. I will keep pushing for action from the govt & relevant authorities in this area.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Maybe Denmark should say "OK, if you really want it that bad $100 trillion ono. It's a seller's market lads, there's only one Greenland" just to see what they say

So yes, one day that battery is going to need to be replaced because it has worn out. But one, that's not going to happen for many years. Very different reality to fossil fuels. And two, because we haven't set fire to it, the materials are still there to be recycled & processed into new batteries

SELF-DESCRIBED FREE SPEECH ADVOCATES: No, no, you're not allowed to use free speech against people and causes I like! That's terrorism! SELF-DESCRIBED CHILD PROTECTORS: Listen, we have to stay on X, the child-porn site. Because of reasons! JOURNALISTS: *looking the other way*

Oh, huh, the extremely experienced economist, from the country which is currently distancing itself from its largest trading partner, is off to chat to the leaders of the country with the second biggest GDP? Gosh, I wonder what they might be discussing?

Climate and money are too often divorced in our imaginations, the assumption being that you can’t make money or properly run an economy and keep the climate from imploding at the same time. People who actually handle money for a living could tell you otherwise.

If *I* was desperately trying to make people forget that I and all my pals are in the Epstein Files, I would probably ban my spokespeople from describing us as dominant predators, y'know?

"We are the dominant predator force in the Western Hemisphere" is the sort of line that gets edited out of an anime villain's evil monologue for being a bit much.

We know - because of the Online Safety Act and how they handle stuff like Nazi content in Germany - that the tools exist to regulate social media. We don't have to like them or agree with them, but they exist. So it is *possible* to manage access to Twitter in the UK.

This is very bad news for Greenland

this one is called goose horse

Mm, nope. A very good teacher I had once told me, “Good teachers want students, not disciples.”

US Senator Amy Klobuchar, "What’s the difference between Greenland and Donald Trump? Greenland is not for sale" "For any Republican Trump administration person out there that want to throw eggs at me as a result of that joke, you can't, they're too expensive"

Bloomberg's X account has more than 800k followers. Their most recent post was shared five times It would basically come at close to zero cost for outlets like Bloomberg to delete their X accounts, and "We don't want to use a non-consensual deepfake abuse app as a comms platform" is a fine excuse

they were kinda crunchy

MwwwwwAH~!

It will always be impressive how Bungle went from folkloric nightmare fuel cryptid to peak bouffant camp overnight.

here you go !

Everyone walking around the UK right now.

yeah that's fair

Top tip by @leparisien.fr. In those icy conditions, to avoid slipping and falling, walk like a 🐧. I hope everyone listens to this excellent advice and can't wait to see the spectacle on the Euston Road.

There’s a kind of parallel between the Democrats trying to challenge Trump by waving their hands and saying ‘Oooh, that’s unconstitutional’ and European regulators waving their hands at Musk and saying ‘oooh, Grok’s breaking the law’. At some point you have to act. The game has changed.
