london review of blokes

[La Roux if she was a blue whale] I'm going in for the krill I have a blowhole, not gills I'm hoping you'll understand

who else remembers this classic james bond one-liner!!

enjoying writing! how's your WIP going

“whatever club he’s invited to join has been devalued by the invitation”

for maximum alpha, complete with eating biscuits in bed for breakfast, going out into the world and ruining several people's days, then returning to bed with zero repercussions, Mr Tickle Vintage Beeb audiobook at 1.25x speed is best. it was meant to be a spoken, not written, story

that someone so dumb, so pointless, so petty, so witlessly cringe, has become this powerful and influential, is a good argument for remaining in the moist primordial dirt, writhing around with the other worms

obviously they should just do zombie Bond

Some thoughts on horror, materialism, pessimism, enlightenment. The usual. matthewcheney.net/blog/the-mat...

True connoisseurs know that the tastiest juices are in the limbs, which have to be cracked like crab legs to drink the precious fluids inside

you poindexters in your ivory tower, ranting and raving about how the new Frankenstein betrays the spirit of the book. well, have you considered this - I haven't read it

history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting

[at a book launch, watching the author read from their new novel] hang on, when did reading become so performative

Actually, legitimately, sickening seeing Rosie Duffield involved in the Brianna Ghey project. I don't know how she has the fucking gall.

excited to announce my debut cosy literary novel, The Good Professor, in which a pleasant, well-adjusted university professor waits unti 15 years after his beautiful student has graduated to ask her out for coffee

DONALD TRUMP: [asleep, drooling on long red tie] SENATE DEMOCRATS: fine, we give in

good read. good think

this, except the books are being posted today! still time for 600-900 of you to hop aboard the cool train

even as a confirmed Beatle simp, when I saw that this ranking of every Ringo Starr solo album was nearly *5 hours long*, I had my doubts but it's really great! what a bizarre career. includes tangents on Ringo's visual art, TV ads, his personal life. basically a biography of his post-Beatles life

New Gist: AI, The Sound and Fury I try to explain all of this AI thing in one article, and suggest why it is hostile to democracy, to humanity and also happily likely to end with the would-be tech Sun Kings taking trips to the financial guillotine. www.thegist.ie/the-gist-ai-...

fyi Bristol

feel like the 93% who wouldn't is more striking

Ah, 9 November – a sad one, this: 59th anniversary of the day Paul McCartney died, forcing the other Beatles to replace him with an orphan they had trained to impersonate him, and then (obviously) put clues in songs and on album covers so people could find out anyway

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

your honour, you have the chance here to do the funniest thing

this but it is now Saturday

again I ask, what is the upside of this technology

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

The new lawsuits against OpenAI are tragic and deeply troubling. One of the plaintiffs, Kate Fox, is suing following the death of her husband, Joe Ceccanti. Ceccanti experienced at least two acute crises following extensive ChatGPT use. He did not survive the second: futurism.com/artificial-i...

it is Friday! here's a possible soundtrack for your pre-drinks / after party / just sort of sitting around doing whatever if you like this sort of thing of course no worries if not youtu.be/Iny1D7UI4gI?...

Call me controversial, but technology that leads vulnerable people into crisis and even holds their hand as they die by suicide should not be endorsed by schools and universities, we should not be giving discounted subscriptions to this monstrous tech to young people AT ALL

[at a family dinner, in response to well meaning elderly relatives asking how my year has been] buckle up fuckos

this, except the books are being posted today! still time for 600-900 of you to hop aboard the cool train

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

If I were prime minister I'd probably try to avoid being identified as complicit in two genocides before my second year in office was out but then I'm just a standard dickhead and not a monstrous prick with zero morals I guess.

HP Sauce is named after HP Lovecraft

It really is pretty shocking that Mamdani won even after referring to his dad’s cousin as his aunt when she was really his first cousin once removed

Seeing a lot of people mocking RFK jr for immediately running away when someone passed out near him but for all you know he was getting to work identifying dangerous 5G signals in the area

The Government needs to get serious about climate change. And it hasn't so we're suing. But this is the longest and most expensive legal letter Good Law Project has ever sent - and it involves a huge team of specialist lawyers. And we really could use your help. goodlaw.social/4cqi

It's Kathleen Stock all over again, isn't it? Someone with immense privilege behaves hatefully, gets pushback from victims, embarks on an 'I've been cancelled' tour, supported by the whole British media establishment, and the victims get shat on all over again.

Fun fact, in medieval demonology, incubi and succubi were the same thing- the succubus would seduce a man, capture the sperm, and then transform into an incubus to impregnate a woman. What I'm saying is the Vengabus is powered by 55 gallons of jizz.
