Please don't reply to my locked bluesky account

Knowing what it's like to help my grandad with computer stuff, if we make him take the AI training we can probably get the AI to kill itself.

A devastating modern predicament: you make a self-deprecating joke (in a DM, a group chat, on Teams) and get a heart react instead of a laugh

FT the only UK newspaper with a full-time "scary Xi Jinping photomontage" artist on staff

Looking to speak to people whose data protection officers have been radicalised online into conspiracy theorists/anti-vaxxers/all the above in the north mainly but also nationally.

May you go into the new day with as much confidence as this lad who's debating with Ross Barkley about the terms of his own contract [with credit to @thomastparker.bsky.social at X]

The Harry Hill podcast -- v good

Yes. Sick of people getting away with things on grounds of 'diminished responsibility'.

Had the depressing realisation earlier that The Gruffalo doesn't pass the Bechdel test

It's rare in life for people to get what they deserve, so when someone as morally reprehensible as Arteta contrives to (somehow!) throw it away again, you really have to enjoy it.

We don't allow sitting mayors to run, sorry. Yes because he's popular and we might lose the by-election without him. No, not that one.

Made the shocking 'discovery' yesterday that sweet popcorn is more calorific than toffee popcorn. They are literally laughing in our faces aren't they.

The pub that short-changed me

Sorry but if you deliberately go to the pub with the aim of getting snowed in so that you can write a newspaper article about it, that's not an 'experience'. I'd go so far as to say it makes you lower than vermin www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Coroner explaining to my loved ones that I died after deliberately getting myself snowed into a pub

we can’t replace walliams no, but we can recreate him in the aggregate

interesting, was actually just thinking it was probably a combination of individual and systemic factors at play here

"goat yoked to an ox cart" is a fantastic insult

Just read that Greenland is the largest island on earth. Apparently it’s not Australia as that doesn’t count as an island. This is what they take us for.

Nobel committee should have worked up an honorary prize like those fake Oscars they do

This is so good

Mate of mine put me onto this amazing Instagram account for a bloke who's confined himself to his bedroom for a year. www.instagram.com/reel/DTlYQ-1...

Fascist demo in town. They were wearing Charlie Kirk jumpers and waving crosses aloft. They've yankified our Nazis! Have some self respect ffs.

Quite funny at the traitors dinner party last year where everyone was revealing their personal traumas and how they'd spend the money rectifying them and that annoying bloke was like "I'd go on a nice holiday"

Steve Reich in the Afternoon

Been trying to understand the root cause of a compliance issue at work and have sent an email that's led to someone else fully trying to stab a colleague in the back -- possible traitor?
