europeans want you to believe they live virtuous lifestyles but this is their version of bed, bath & beyond

does Claude delete the Palestinians

I don't remember writing this

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

great stuff if you've seen NTBTSTM youtu.be/8hYi8qBWMgg

The contradictions in Tolstoy’s works…are indeed glaring. On the one hand, we have the great artist, the genius who has not only drawn incomparable pictures of Russian life but has made first-class contributions to world literature. On the other hand we have the landlord obsessed with Christ.

incredible work on this one

"oh I'm a boomer and i use my phone for everything" we know that's why everything sucks

Yeah I want a tab open with the flights and the ability to open a calendar on the same screen, and also check this against an itinerary of whatever else I'm doing. what's the big deal

I can't remember the last time I laughed so much as watching Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie

This was all it was ever about. No one in power ever gave a single fuck about the people of Cuba or their rights or freedom. All we did for 60+ years was starve, immiserate, and kill its people so we could hand the whole country back over to the rich gusano pigs who enslaved them in the first place

if you get angry about kids in pubs i think fundamentally you are just quite an antisocial person

the Attlee government nationalised healthcare, the railways, the energy industry, telecoms, the steel industry, and the Bank of England, and established the welfare state, introduced free secondary education, and built a million homes

I'm looking at stuff in the videogame Marathon and it looks Strange, but I dunno if it actually is

Cops have unlimited ability to ruin our lives and as soon as they get a little pushback they turn into the biggest babies in the world part 100,000

This Oscars ceremony is shit. Where are the trailers and the award for Most Anticipated Film

PSA: if you're in Scotland and in receipt of benefits you might qualify for free replacement central heating from the scottish government Our boiler broke in January, we speculatively applied and it turned out we qualified. Within 6 weeks we had a brand new combi boiler installed for free

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

People go on their own journeys I suppose, but if you got fooled by this I am not interested from hearing from you. I’m not even sure you should be allowed to hold scissors

Thinking about the 60 emoji again

I saw Hard Boiled last night, and for an absolutely ridiculous action film it has fucking vibes youtu.be/_g8PBLxwUGc

this is the country where this question is being asked btw. I've loved being in the north of Ireland before but I'd also be wary of answering this

for anyone wondering why there’s so much unbridled joy on ScotPol Bluesky about the arrest of a Scottish Labour MP’s husband for spying for China, take your pick

What happens is: we deliberately set half the planet on fire; that prompts a wave of uncontrollable instability and terrorism, which we then use to justify further authoritarian crackdowns as we continue our sharp slide into fascism, exacerbated by an oil-shock induced recession.

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

Americans really need to make their mind up, what are we the bland spiceless nation with no seasonings, or are we the weird nation with a wall of unknowable spices that are strange of foreign?? Like, I get all of these aren’t super common, but surely everyone should have Zaatar and Sumac??

This is over a charge of £2

Nice AI-image-generating tool, but it will never be as great an artist as Onfim, a child who lived in the Novgorod Republic in the mid-1200s and who scribbled these drawings and schoolwork writings on birch bark at the age of 6 or 7.

it's been weird seeing people learn about John Davidson. it feels Tourette's is a lot more understood in the UK and Scotland because of him than other places bsky.app/profile/supl...

INCORRECT: John Davidson should be kept in a special room because he has a disability that makes me uncomfortable CORRECT: John Davidson should be kept in a special room because he's from Gala

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization
