This man was trafficked into Britain, in ways which the government would now use to make him subject to deportation. According to a leading political pundit, he brought with him ancestral violence, which means that he *and his British-born children* should be expelled. This man.

German court rules that OpenAI violated copyright laws by training ChatGPT on music 🎵 • May set precedent for Europe AI copyright uses • OpenAI disagrees & can appeal "The internet is not a self-service store, and human creative achievements are not free templates" — German Music Rights Society

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany. Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

Yeeeeeeeesssssss! Well deserved winner

I don't know if the Andys are doing this just because they enjoy beautiful footage. Professional pride and that But if somebody just sat down, watched taskmaster, and said "It would be funnier if it was shot in higher quality than a david hatandbra documentary"... Mwa! Chef's kiss 😘👌 Sheer genius

OH. MY. GOD. If you're not watching taksmaster, start at the beginning, get up to the series 20 finale. It's not like breaking bad, don't have to wait until it gets good The way they shot that! The music! Alex looking gray. It's only going to get better the older he gets. Sorry Alex. Incredible

Sanjeev's squirting outfit was worth the wait. What. A. Series

It's easy to forgive the fanfiction writers when you see the love in Alex's eyes after Greg does an unexpected improv bit 😂

Phil and Maisie need a pirate show. I don't agree with Greg at all, Phil looks great! Ania and Sanjeev on the other boat. Reece can play any role he likes, just needs a costume more befitting. Even his whitnail coat with some gold embroidery

In case you need to hear these words...

Just remembered you're meant to get your hair cut now and then

Oooooooh. I've been putting the discussion in the introduction. That's what I've been doing wrong. Even when your motivation is the complexities, you can't explain them at the start or only readers who already agree with you will get what you're saying.

i fully agree with this theory and in my actual field, british architectural history, The Problem is that Salisbury Cathedral is built on top of a lake and no i am not exaggerating

"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is. 🧵 1/5

It was Phil Oakey’s sister Carrie who invented the electronic device that allows people to sing to pop backing tracks. She called it the Singalongapop Machine 3000

youtu.be/_kLMeC_8vAI?... Just watching this (yes, coz of taskmaster) and the most astonishing thing they got right is the nap they have immediately after landing. Okay so in the actual moonlanding even the cool as cucumber test pilots said no we're going out first thing. But the plan was nap first.

youtu.be/yUkPvPCRCeg?... Gorgeous, gorgeous guitar music, beautifully recorded. It's an ad, but an ad for 6k+ classical guitars so I don't feel bad at all for sharing. Barrios is such an amazing composer. Never trying to leave the guitar, just somehow finding the entire world alive inside it.

Oh my god. (All right all right all right)

Again. youtu.be/FyH6bnt56mU?...

How ever since Labour came to power, the British media has started to notice a whole series of problems they spent the previous 14 years completely ignoring www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/the-great-...

“In the last year of the Conservative Government alone, 115 prisoners were released in error, including a series of serious offenders. “At no point did this fact ever make the front pages of British newspapers, or lead news bulletins on the BBC.”

You’ve probably seen a lot of stuff about James Watson stealing Rosalind Franklin’s DNA research. Read this clear article by two eminent historians of science to understand what *actually* happened 👇

If I see one more stupid Rosalind Franklin take I'm going to lose my mind. Thank god for @matthewcobb.bsky.social and @nccomfort.bsky.social. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The "bitch"! What a "bitch"! I can't think of another song that starts with one word, followed by a pause to let it sink in a bit youtu.be/m4_9TFeMfJE?...

youtu.be/FyH6bnt56mU?... The start! What a start. Also: every second of the rest of the song

I am ANTIFA. Everyone should be ANTIFA.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative electrek.co/2025/11/04/a...

good morning gang, let’s all suffer together

🎬 The arts aren’t a luxury - they’re an export. At #Lab25, @aiannucci.bsky.social reminds us that the UK’s Creative Industries make up 6% of our economy and 7% of our workforce - the GDP equivalent of oil + car industries combined. 🎥 Watch more clips from the Creative UK Pavilion hubs.ly/Q03QVhV90

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

For the second time today, once I've been prompted to look further I'm pretty sure this is AI generated. Leonard McCombe is a real photographer, his photos do not, however, typically look like this.

Had a dream I was lying outside a little tent near the top of Mt Everest, just kind of enjoying the view. Kept thinking I should probably text the family app, as this was worth sharing, but also didn't want to show off, since we'd just sort of drove there without any hardships or major effort.

An absolutely stunning #thylacine at @nhmwien.bsky.social, which hasn't been posed to convey the impression that #thylacines were dangerous or threatening in the way that so many other #taxidermy specimens do. That idea was central to the false claim that they threatened #Tasmania's sheep industry.

New virus that makes all corporate emails start with "I don't know who needs to hear this, but" and sign-off "just my two cents byeeeee"

If immigration is really so terrible, should we be attacking the root causes like war, inequality, and - pretty soon - climate change?

Looked at my phone. Put a wash on. Couldn't find my phone. Realisation dawned. Found my phone on the table. Phew.

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post? This. This is what you get.

Surely a ploughman is hungrier than that

When a progressive Democrat wins, the news says "this will be bad for Democrats." But when a super conservative Republican wins, the news says, "wow the country is so conservative now!" See if you can spot the difference.
