Bad losers at Reform just cost the taxpayer ££££ on an investigation carried out on the basis of hearsay and promoted by right wing news channels. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

How do people make a hobby out of selling on vinted? Every time I list something I end up dying a little inside.

I've got nearly 10 years of marketing experience and I've been left waiting for a week and a half about a JUNIOR role I got to the 2nd interview with. Job hunting right now is brutal, it's worse than 2009.

People on the left are saying Trump has installed an authoritarian regime when he is merely *trying* to install an authoritarian regime and has partially succeeded. This distinction is far more important to highlight than anything the president is doing

The sheer giddy joy that Pokopia is giving me is incredible. Making discoveries as you punch through walls will never stop wowing me and every time a Pokémon goes "gosh can I really move here?" then sleeps on their new bed is just so sweet.

You know why? Because it’s impossible to make money with AI compared to what it costs, and they can’t afford to give away free services anymore in hopes people will eventually use it for something than garbage bullshit. Crumble away.

Executives are fast reaching the point where they start rooting around in the couch cushions for some loose workers to lay off. They can only keep doing this for so long before the well’s empty and they need a new way to lie about infinite company growth. They’ll never take that pay cut though.

The funniest part of my toddler reaching the hitting phase is that the other day she started to aim at a random object and smack it the exact same way cats slap the shit out of stuff.

We should bring Plonker back. AI bros are such absolute plonkers.

Started Pokopia today and I'm pretty sure I've put like 6 hours in already. This is insane. And I'm someone who tends to put games down after a couple of hours or I get bored.

It really gets my goat when people tell me I may not like AI but it’s here to stay & there’s nothing we can do about it. Yes there is! We don’t have to bow down to every corporate demand! We can fight, regulate, use the law. We can & must ensure this tech benefits humanity & doesn’t dismantle it.

You either have bodily autonomy, or you don't. You don't get to decide one group of people shouldn't have bodily autonomy without the justifications and mechanisms used to strip that autonomy being immediately used to strip bodily autonomy from others. Either we all have it or none of us do.

Perfect

Remember when McDonalds made a genAI commercial and it was so universally reviled they pulled it from the internet. Do you have any idea how bad you have to fuck up to make a corporation like McDonalds just pull an entire ad like that. This shit is DEAD.

I don’t choose that word lightly. The idea that an entire field of medicine, as well as numerous academic journals, systematically suppressed evidence that gender-affirming care doesn’t work is a conspiracy theory. Meanwhile, none of these people can provide a shred of evidence for their core claim

100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride. Mainstream media: nothing Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes. Mainstream media: nothing. This is what extreme media bias looks like.

Hello I have private #commissions open again! (And commercial too, hit me up for those prices) Shares VERY much appreciated!!!

After spending last year re reading the first 4 books, over 4,500 pages, it's finally time to start reading this beast.

Saw a Reddit post from someone wondering if they should read more books that they can learn from. They were worried about reading too much fluff and that maybe their time should be spent on other things. And not ONE person said "ok cool, here are some interesting things to get you started"

goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024

The game where you play as a Mongolian horseback courier is out today!? I think more than a few folks might be interested in that giveaway. Otherwise, here's the Steam page:

The thing that gets me about the current era of tech hype is that we have tech doing impressive things. Like, cars driving themselves IS impressive. But the need to hype and bullshit for the stocks means you have half-done products being sold as miracles, usually at the cost of safety.

So true. We can practice intellectual humility and welcome good ideas that challenge us without giving our time to bad ones. Not every take deserves our attention, and refusing to engage with hatred is just setting a healthy boundary.

This goes so hard, I want it on a shirt

Good.

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

We literally know now that anti-trans legislation was pushed by a pedophile ring to allow a pedophile ring to serve a pedophile ring’s interests, and legislators have decided the best course of action is to keep doing what the pedophile ring wants.

They’ll criminalize everything except being in a billionaire pedo ring.

This company wants a PA and social media marketer. Um... what? Sorry but those are two completely different jobs.

The Instagram algorithm is really keen on me seeing shitty husbands. I know they exist and I know you're trying to show it me under the guise of commentary but man, I'm tired. I married a great guy so I don't have to deal with that shit so get it off my feed.

I did a little Crime and Punishment spread in my Hobonichi and I was looking through my stickers for something appropriate. I cackled when I spotted this little guy with an axe.

This is me

Applied to a few jobs on Monday. Got a call an hour or two later from one of them and had a quick chat which was really encouraging and... Now it's Friday afternoon and haven't heard anything since. Job hunting is seriously affecting my mental health and shit like this doesn't help.

this is why the whole “oh, suffering creates great art” thing is bullshit you know what’s conducive to art? a roof over your head and food on the table you know what isn’t? stressing out over where the fuck the rent money is going to come from

Well I could have gone the rest of my life not knowing I shared a birthday with Nonce Andrew.

The president is the only major world leader pulling every lever of govt to shield pedophiles implicated in the biggest minor trafficking ring ever uncovered and it isn't even a story, forget major or ongoing. US political media needs to be burnt to the ground and rebuilt from ashes. Irredeemable

THIS IS NOT A DRILL YOU CAN GET EVERY DISCWORLD TOME ON EBOOK FOR LESS THAN THE COST OF A SUBWAY FOOTLONG COMBO. USUALLY GETTING EVERY SINGLE BOOK LEGALLY IS LIKE 400+ NOT. A. DRILL. www.humblebundle.com/books/terry-...

hire me to draw your book cover. ill do it real good. bsky.app/profile/rach...

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Reading Crime and Punishment and I'm getting inspired to rant and rave from my sofa and make it everyone else's problem while I lose my mind.

If I mention that it's my birthday tomorrow in job applications do you think that will help?

This is such a tired and typical problem with Hollywood. The perceived marketability of any accent outside RP or London, unless you’re doing a “grim miserablist Loachian tragedy” or a Billy Elliot style feel good poverty-porn flick. I’m still aghast that Poor Things was set in London & not Glasgow

It makes me very happy that Cate Blanchett has the same petty hatred for leaf blowers that I do. www.youtube.com/shorts/JKmFl...

Simple fact is this: If you’re a member of the “gender critical” movement, you’re part of a pedophile ring whether you want to be or not.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

sorry i missed the virtual meeting on discord, liz. i got hit with the id verification that happens when the app detects youre young
