They call it “paying” attention, so it makes sense that not everyone can always afford it

Council: for noise complaints contact your housing association HA: contact the council Council: contact the HA Etc etc

If you want more people to use public transport then ACTUALLY ENFORCE THE BAN ON SMOKING AND VAPING on it

For anyone expecting to meet me in edinburgh today, i am unfortunately sick and cannot come

List of events happening in Scotland around the 3rd anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. List curated by @ukrainesol.bsky.social Scotland branch.

Late to the party here but I find it wild that Russia is using donkeys for military purposes. Struggling to afford fuel for the internal combustion engines, are we?

Here is an actual legitimate use of present-day machine learning models; to discover something we would actually be unable to otherwise. First glimpse inside burnt scroll after 2,000 years www.bbc.com/news/article...

My next D&D character will be a druid anprim who thinks agriculture is a modern step too far. I have Issues to work out.

There is something nefarious about how hard and fast people are pushing AI in education. I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but it doesn’t bode well when corporations, not student need, set the pace with which we adopt new technologies.

Genuinely a bit fucked up, especially since the option is only “delay” and not “stop”. What if, even after the delay, these things aren’t fixed in your location?

I understand now why older generations rarely understand younger generations’ slang terms. It’s not a lack of ability, it is a lack of desire. Not only do I have no motivation to find out what skibidi ohio rizz is; i actively want to NEVER know.

🔴From Z to X: How Russian Information Warfare Primed the World for Trump and Musk “Money and information are the twin tactical nukes of modern politics” according to Steve Bannon. But the the seeds for this tech dystopia were sown more than a decade ago bylinetimes.com/2025/01/25/h...

Now that YouTube plays (often loud) ads at the *end* of videos, I wish creators would go back to inserting end screens, especially in ASMR videos. Just give people 5 secs to turn the volume down.

We have to talk about real and real-like

The video of Musk’s salute is honestly ten times worse than the still photo even. It’s so aggressive.

People wonder why I use a 2013 laptop and the answer is: Every update makes things work worse for me. Devices start doing things they think I want which are the opposite of what I want. I can’t find anything. Things are suddenly inaccessible that I previously didn’t need assistance with.

Oh god someone reminded me of the concept of NFTs after I’d tried so hard to forget them 😭

One of the weirder Trump moments is when he reported Patrick Harvie MSP to the Scottish Parliament standards commission for "blasphemy" for tweeting a picture from The Life of Brian, because he was mad there would be wind turbines near his gross golf course. www.irishtimes.com/news/world/u...

“I don’t want war” “Let’s invade Panama”

I know most of you aren’t watching the inauguration but for those who are: who is the woman in green introducing people? Faces are hard and I can’t work it out.

The first time I ever heard of TikTok it was because of people doing an “autism challenge” where they mocked autistic people. The second time I ever heard of TikTok it was because a rumour spread there that Helen Keller never existed. (1/4)

My favourite mostly harmless conspiracy theory is that George RR Martin has actually finished writing ASOIAF but has conspired with his publisher to only publish after his death to scare everyone into thinking it’s unfinished when he dies. After all he has enough money already…

Hey just to let anyone who may be trying to get in touch with me know: I am very unwell right now and am unable to reply to or deal with pretty much everything. Apologies.

I’ve been sick all year and any ounce of optimism has fled. I expect fascism, WW3, pandemics, asteroids, all of the worst.

At this point the UK should ban Twitter tbh

Happy new year from me and my flu viruses 🦠 🥂🎇🎉

Most people I see here talk as if everyone reading understands context which one can only discover if one spends 20 hours a day on social media. Not everyone knows what you’re talking about!

Sites that have video ads really need an option for one to block ads containing flashing lights. And all sites with ads should have an option to selectively block one or more of topics such as (but not limited to): - alcohol - gambling - weight loss

i think this is a good demonstration of how you can make programs and machines that absolutely don't work and just spew bullshit, but people will defer to them anyway because the workings of any computer is beyond our comprehension

I am not touching alcohol again until the new year. Ugh.

Hi I have consumed A Quantity of alcohol so take everything I say with a grain of salt but When I was on 🍄 I recited this phrase enough in my head that I remembered it sober: “Everything is true, and nothing is true, but it doesn’t matter because I can do this again”. The last bit I meant 🍄

All of my most controversial (on the left) opinions stem from three principles: 1. Collective punishment is bad. 2. The sins of the father are NOT the sins of the son. 3. Murder is wrong.

The SANTA PLEASE STOP HERE signs really annoy me. Guys, he’s done the list, he’s packed the gear. This is a guy who lives and breathes logistics. Too late for this bullshit

Currently very glad I declined to partake in my friends’ whamageddon sweepstake 😂

It’s polling day in Partick East/Kelvindale! We’ve been out all week working for our brilliant candidate Cylina Porch. If you live in the ward please remember to #VoteSNP today!

The South Korean coup sounds like something I’d write in my satirical fiction. It’s wild but it also adds to my theory that the whole universe has gone insane.

So about ten years ago I found a small network of bots on Reddit dedicated to spreading hate. The thing about it is that these weren't even responding to political topics - they were just responding to random keywords with insults and hate. The same bots are now here. You should understand why. 🧵

…And please protect their ability to work remotely where applicable.

Me: “I want to be less depressed. Perhaps I will try to be optimistic.” Everyone else: “hahaha no. Apocalypse happening now. All is hopeless. You should cry.” Me: “Welp.”

If you leave out the context from your post, don’t be surprised when someone doesn’t know what it is. Not everyone spends 20 hours a day on social media and thus not everyone is aware of what this hour’s main topic appears to be.

This is such a good idea - I was handed one of these on entering Ayr Tesco, and my aunt was handed the other. So different people get different short lists of stuff they can donate.

This is a story a lot of reporters have been chasing: Starting in 2015, a massive cyberespionage campaign targeted some of America's most prominent environmentalists. Now, we can reveal that the FBI has been probing whether a longtime Exxon lobbyist was involved. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

AI is bad actually and also isn’t actually AI by the original sci-fi definition. What is considered “AI” today isn’t actually intelligent. It’s just a marketing gimmick for shit products that produce shit results.
