It’s really very lucky for the Greens that Your Party sucked up a lot of extremely tedious time-wasting freaks who might otherwise have flocked to join. Definitely a cohort you want outside your tent pissing on each other.

And of course we have to repost this banger

This.

Man Who Threw Molotov Cocktail At Sam Altman’s Home Claims He Was Following ChatGPT Recipe For Risotto https://theonion.com/man-who-threw-molotov-cocktail-at-sam-altmans-home-claims-he-was-following-chatgpt-recipe-for-risotto/

"When they were fished out [of the vats], there was never enough of them left to be worth exhibiting, sometimes they would be overlooked for days, till all but the bones of them had gone out to the world as Durham's Pure Leaf Lard!" —Upton Sinclair, The Jungle (1906)

I do not think that year was a particularly fine vintage because the only major release I’ve even seen is ‘Cloverfield’ which was…fine. I AM however interested to hear from the presumably non-zero number of parents who mistakenly let their kids rent this film.

Yeah she’s right it would have been MUCH better to collectively name it spotty mcspottyface or some shit

Look at this guy

crowdsourcing my beowulf translation word by word: "So what would you guys put for þēod‐cyninga?"

Nerds [1999]: We would like a pervasive connection to the global information superhighway. Nerds [2026]: Yes but we didn't want everyone else to have it.

Re: Slow Horses ‘Guy who is too good at computers to not be in the service but who is too annoying for anyone to work with’ is an excellent character concept 10/10

Beef mince with potato top is cottage pie, lamb is shepherds pie - what are we calling turkey mince potato topped poe? Poultrymans pie? (It’s delicious btw - great sub for beef mince if for any reason you can’t eat cow!)

For balance: go in with your eyes open but if you are a young femme person offered a mentorship opportunity don’t *necessarily* turn it down just because it’s being offered by an older man. Chilling genuine opportunities would be a really unfortunate unintended consequence.

writing an e-mail and getting a prompt from AI "this sentence could be more concise" no. i am verbose. i am loquacious. i am long-winded and often redundant even. you machine, do not tell me how to form my words

Iran: see you in hell 😘 U.S.: NOT IF I SEE YOU FIRST Iran: weird flex, but K?

Went out to deadhead the raspberry bushes, blacked out and an hour later I’ve weeded and pruned the whole garden and rebuilt the collapsed rockery. Willow is furious at the disruption 😅

they’re calling it “the least successful protest of all time”

‘I am JUST popping into the garden centre for a compost bin and some thyme, I am NOT going to get carried away’

They really think no one can build a guillotine anymore.

Silly garden project this year: growing mangelwurzels, just because. They are technically edible but only really considered a delicacy by livestock but they look delightful so 🤷

This Reform leaflet from three Gateshead candidates looks like a timelapse of the same person

If Sally is given two apples more than last year but she has to pay Johnny three apples instead of one apple this year does Sally have more apples or fewer apples than last year? Show your working.

When a person loses 1 sense the others are heightened. That's why people who have no sense of humor have an amazing sense of self-importance.

I'm always on the lookout for old books with great titles (and sometimes use them as prompts for short stories) and this is a terrific one

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

ChatGPT: As a teen, you'll find kratom gets you the highest when you mix it with xans & booze, and definitely more Robitussin, for a kick Sam Altman: This is good actually A human brain: I should burn down Sam Altman's house before he kills any more kids Sam Altman: Hey this sucks what the fuck

If a breed is over-represented in bite statistics it is always because of the type of human behaviour associated with the breed, not the breed itself. Dachshunds and corgis frequently appear in bite statistics because they are working breeds that people incorrectly assume will be easy family pets

This was a silly use of disposable income but my next race isn’t till September & the virtual race medals are VERY ✨ aesthetic ✨& incentivised me to keep training (the conceit is that you log your runs in the app & once you have run the distance between Bag End & Bree they send you a medal)

(Every time I think that creative skills aren’t ‘proper’ skills I encounter adults who can’t work out how to use a stapler and I’m reminded that there is *some* value in this skill-set.)

Good afternoon. A single fin whale produces 250 gallons of urine a day. There is no context, subtext or special reason for my sharing this fact – I just needed to get it out of my head and into yours. Do feel free to add your own random facts.

People who know about dogs and can assess an evidence base: ‘banning breeds doesn’t work to reduce bite rates, you need to do proper evidence based interventions eg. Targeting irresponsible breeders & owners’ UK Govt: idk that sounds expensive let’s just keep doing arbitrary blanket bans :)

Surely we want them to be ‘Disease Resistant’ not ‘Disease Tolerant’. I don’t want my courgettes tolerating diseases, it’s giving antivaxxer.

The kids these days will hardly believe it, but a mere two years ago, the mental & physical (lack of) acuity of Elderly Presidents was the Great Issue of Our Time. Someone should tell Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson, so they can write a book on it.

Made sixteen fire-breathing dragon masks with three year olds for my (ersatz) nephews birthday party this morning and I am KNACKERED. Cannot believe teachers do this shit all day every day. Pay them a million pounds.

The waiting list for a spot in the bike locker near my flat is 47 people so if you hear about a suspicious cluster of murders/maimings in the Tottenham area, no you didn’t.

Never trust the average social media user to consider nuance or context

They spent a decade complaining about safe spaces and then made a robot to give you compliments and tell you your mp3 of farting noises is Brian Eno

its fucked up that they dont let you know how large the fish is when they serve it to you. cuts of tuna and salmon are usually the same size, and yet if someone slapped you with a salmon youd be offended and if they slapped you with a tuna youd be dead

Well, neither have made a good album since 2016, if that helps your argument

WHAT! Apparently a piece of the Wright Brothers' plane (first powered flight in 1903) is on the Artemis II's Orion spacecraft! It's a 1 square inch swath of muslin fabric on loan from the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. 🥺
