like assuming anything nailed to a church door must be irrelevant that Tudor pamphlets were fleeting and ephemeral, so 'Common Sense' can't possibly be important but, even worse, assuming women's well-documented concerns about Gamergate are still not with paying the slightest bit of attention to

the thing one has to understand about Will is that he's not doing this for clout or social media followers and he's doing it with the same genuine conviction that led him to crash out during the Fateh endorsement fiasco.

So with all the Greenland stuff, I’m assuming they still want Canada and are planning to take it.

Current mood.

In a change to the unpleasantness we are seeing, I decided to do a shortish training run this morning on The South Downs heathland as training for the Serpent Ultra. Was absolutely beautiful to stand on the border of Hampshire and West Sussex and watch the sunrise. Bloody cold, though.

We'll end up with someone that is somehow stupider on the economy than Liz Fucking Truss.

I don’t think we should have ceded control quite so quickly and without so much as a fight.

The 100km Serpent Trail passes through terrain unlike any other in the National Park. ⠀ The route connects what remains of lowland heath - one of the rarest habitats in the world.⠀ ⠀ Plan your own Serpent Trail adventure: www.southdowns.gov.uk/get-active/s... 👋 📸: SDNPA

Snyder talked about lots of things other than obeying in advance - looking people in the eye to talk, avoiding social media and (importantly) showing courage if the time comes. The doomers are gutless. Bad things will happen, but Americans are braver than people give credit.

God I hate musical theatre types. Can't even have a bath without some fuzzy prick trying to show me his reading for Lion King.

Worth noting that X hasn't even made the Grok nudification feature available to paying users only. Any user, free or paid, can still use the tool on Grok's dedicated site; the bit that's behind the paywall is specifically being able to tweet @-grok to generate pics

Seems like the Beeb has changed its headline on the NonceBot. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

George V: Knows what crypto is. Does not own crypto. Wilhelm II: Knows what crypto is. Does own crypto. Franz Josef: Does not know what crypto is. Does not own crypto. Nicholas II: Does not know what crypto is. Does own crypto.

I think we forget sometimes that barometers are miracle machines. It’s not windy yet at home; it is raining but nothing exceptional. Without the barometer, if you were just relying on local observations (like most mariners for most of history) you would have no idea it was time to run for your life.

Not normally words I use, but so much out and out evil. Obscenities and concealers and every other form of evil.

it was obvious he was a nazi since the "you have said the actual truth" reply to a great replacement post blaming jews for anti white hatred

If you've not seen it, I highly recommend Stephen Tobolowsky's (best known as Ned Ryerson from Groundhog Day) story on working with Seagal: youtu.be/5cUNU8GkMso?... I'd also add that Executive Decision is his only decent post-Under Siege movie with a most un-Seagal like element to his role.

like no joke, grok is producing thousands of sexualised deep fake images PER HOUR. a rate 84x that of the top 5 dedicated deepfake sites COMBINED. labour should not be shrugging this off. fucking do something.

This seems to have gone beyond Bluesky. Insta and Reddit both seem really angry too.

NHS App now sending me messages urging me to download NHS App. Thanks guys!

I'd like to congratulate the countless academic and journalistic institutions who remain fully committed to the network once known as Twitter, now eviscerated and replaced with this—>

Stop. The. Pervert glasses. We all know this is the next iteration.

Anthropic are my favourite AI company, because they are trying really hard to be the ethical ones and stuff like this keeps happening to them:

“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster

I know RUK ignores NI, but surely there should be more public horror and indignation about the fact that not 6 months ago part of the UK saw a pogrom that drove an ethnic group (the Roma) out of a sizeable town

#bbcLauraK and Chris Mason observing the situation in Venezuela will be like a chimp looking at the wiring diagram for a 1989 Ford Sierra.

Watching a comedy Instagram sketch about using AirBnB in Europe, and I’m going to take a guess that the first comment is from the US.

This is pure Leviathan territory, isn't it?

Splitting my long runs up over two days, so did a nice relaxed run around Hampshire bit of South Downs. Was stunningly pretty in the sun, but a bit cold.

"Welcome to Decline" -- still one of my favourite graphs from last year. In the late 1970s, Britain's economic fate very clearly split in two. How much you blame Thatcher will depend on your politics, but her leadership is useful to understand the timing. tomforth.co.uk/welcometodec...

Now it's 2026, we can celebrate the 35th anniversary of this banger. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WY87...

Ex-Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun has Lunch with the FT and in one of those instances so rare that you know he didn't sign an NDA, says exactly why as.ft.com/r/e503690d-8...

@mikesenters.bsky.social How it feels to be explaining groyper cosmology to normies these days

That makes me shudder at 49, let alone for a 79 year old.

Morning all. Happy New Year to all my moots

Every cat today.

Lazerpig has done a good video on the stupidity of the new battleship and the victory of those bastards in the Reformer school. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJ2-...

Met Éireann has said it will become very cold from Friday with an Arctic airmass expected to move down over the country, leading to the possibility of snow

Having had a day to think through everything about El-Fattah, here's where I stand. Yes, it's possible to believe all of these things at once! In fact, it really shouldn't be that hard.

I mean this completely unironically when I say that Screwfix are a national treasure and have repeatedly got me out of a hole.

I drove an eight hour round trip to Devon today just so I could go trail running on the scary bits of Dartmoor. I must be mad.
