Security implications aside. Not sure a pager is a thing to accept as a lovely gift from Mossad...

Due to popular demand, here's every Space Marine legion from Warhammer 40,000 as a document in our collection. I: Dark Angels Obviously, they're this photograph of a tree in Burnham. Why this photograph? The tree has Fallen.

“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”

YESSSS! Been wanting this forever; just found a second hand one in The Record Shop.

Listening to the latest @theverge.com podcast, and they’re bang on - there’s an iPad Air at the same price as the new MacBook Neo, which has a faster processor and 50% more memory, but it’s still less powerful because iPadOS isn’t a full desktop OS. Which is just a brutal indictment of software.

For Be Funny Or Die, I stumbled upon the theory that the difference between drama and comedy might simply be down to the pace of data processing. Watch this ad, with the time clock in the corner, and see how fast your brain parses comic data. Set up, development, pay off, often in under a second.

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

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.

Even for them this is beyond embarrassing. I'm sorry you've never heard of Sugababes, Sophie Ellis-Bextor or Wolf Alice, you fucking weirdos

You can’t make me do what you tell me

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden. The UK Climate Change Committee’s latest analysis suggests the opposite. The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.

I did not see THAT coming. Stephen Toast as Oscar announcer. "Now, Lady Ga-GAAAH!"

I get that you all have a lovely time watching Rebels. I do. But I really, really cannot be arsed to go to a cinema if it’s going to be this full of callbacks to stuff I’ve never seen.

If we're so desperate to have a banknote with the picture of the chap who helped us win WW2, maybe we should go with....

Oh, if only there was a language that I could count in that would make me feel better.

The best. The absolute best.

It's not even that she is denying what she previously said, it's that she goes on to repeat it in the interview and still insist she doesn't mean what she is saying.

Little nugget at the end for the lawyer watchers

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music Several dozen folks did Some even dubbed music over the original clip. I haven't been able to get this out of my head. So I give you A Bluesky exclusive: Reservoir Ducks 🐣 🪶

Oooooh, Manikins. Read this perfectly sensible story about CPR training with my glasses off, and thought “I’m sure there’s a proper name for female mankinis”

We need your drone interceptors for our war, but we won’t thank you and our propaganda will claim that we made them.

Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.

Imagine the reaction of a US audience if a foreign leader said it was "fun" to sink an unarmed US navy ship and leave the sailors in the water to drown. Any Brit who wants to join these psychopaths in their murderous adventures is insane.

SISU is all rather fun, isn’t it?

I thought this was a joke, but "Ms Badenoch has ranked MPs based on how well they are performing on X" is an actual quote from this article.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

CW: the third episode of the Hannah Fry AI thing, and oh boy the main takeaway from every one so far is not “Companies are adopting AI for this specific technical capability” but “Companies are adopting AI because they can say it made a decision, rather than a human that can be blamed.”

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! I myself am an international woman and so is my book, a mere £2.99 if you're feeling internationally womanly. amzn.eu/d/06Ng8OsI

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next. There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

Do they think people have literally no memory of past events at all?

I know it’s cool to be down on the Manics these days. But is there a more exciting sticker to slap on a single than “Features mixes by David Holmes and Mogwai”? No.

It’s early doors, but F1 does feel a bit “welcome to 2014 again” so far. Let’s see how a race distance goes, otherwise this could be a dull season at the front.

Nothing they talk about more in "left behind communities" than reinstalling the Shah.

Getting lovely “Agenda Suicide” vibes off the new Eurovision. I approve.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Tony Hancock's The Rebel, a bank of Radiophonic Workshop synths, an orange Mini Cooper driving down the Dr Who time tunnel - and a banging chorus in German. Our Eurovision entry works for me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=niMK...

With or without "a slice of pepperoni", 'Eins, Zwei, Drei' is yours to enjoy now 🍕 Watch the premiere for LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER's Eurovision entry for the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 www.eurovision.com/stories/eins...

This is amazing. Genuinely thought it was from The Onion when I first glanced at the title.

"Where’s the soul searching about why voters might have defected to a challenger from the left? Why, in God’s name, did anyone think it was a good idea to imply a large chunk of Labour’s coalition is, in fact, stupid?" Newsletter out. Bit angry.

[doing crossword] 4 down - sex with a child, 4 letters, starts with 'r' Daily Mail guy: romp

Two year old post continues to be true.

Didn’t realise it’s the same guy who wants to close the Prince Charles Cinema and has made Picturehouse Central’s social spaces unusable, who is the twat who allows fold-and-restart wizard-tat-and-candy shops to fill vacant units and not pay tax. Actively damaging quality of life should be a crime.

Truly the Fyre Festival of strategic campaigns.
