The idea that there could actually be a business case for a data center that cant cool itself, cant power itself, fails at a significantly higher rate, and costs at least an extra $4,000 per kilogram is so fucking laughable that I dont even know where to start

Sad news from Wikipedia. Following lengthy discussion on the talk page, they've removed Matt Goodwin's claim to be the first in his family to go to university on the grounds that it [checks notes] isn't true. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ma...

This presents a nearly irresistible option for a journalistic second mention: 'the Grammy Award-winning spiritual leader'.

That's right, you know what month it is.

It's 1998. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2001. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2025. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2026. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour.

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

I enjoyed reading this column, which somehow blames Keir Starmer for the result of an employment tribunal following laws passed under the Tory government regarding an incident and suspension that took place before the last election.

Seeing the headline: IRAN'S REVOLUTIONARY GUARDS DENIES RUMOUR OF GUARDS NAVY CHIEF ASSASSINATION - STATE MEDIA and immediately thinking: my ‘navy chief not assassinated’ shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

Good to see Boris Johnson come out swinging against the prime minister who negotiated the Brexit deal

Genuinely quite curious about how those guys are managing the cognitive dissonance of all their conspiracies being sort of true but about the wrong type of people for it to be fun.

Really cool that while we have a national panic about teenagers on phone too much, phone is also causing pensioners to build car bombs www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Xbox LIVE was willing to do in 2013 what the entire US establishment was not.

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

Damn that person close to Mandelson must feel stupid now the email has been released.

This image is strikingly similar to the famous photo of a young Dilma Rousseff in front of a Brazilian military court also too cowardly to show their faces.

On almost everything – fraud, polarisation, radicalisation, misinformation – evidence suggests that over 60s are in much more urgent need of online protection and education than teenagers. But that issue gets zero political attention, and is a total non-starter. Nothing good will come of it.

increasingly feel we need to bring religion back - not for me personally, I'm good, but lots of people could clearly do with Some Form Of Guiding Light In Their Life

you know things are going great in your home country when you get google ads about how to renounce citizenship

Trump’s fundraisers are now using the threat of dispatching ICE against citizens as an email engagement tactic.

London railway arches are changing. Many of the once dilapidated arches in London have been turned into shops, cafes and bars, often near glitzy new developments. Works have now started on 10 arches along Bethnal Green Gardens on Malcolm Place in east London where the Luigi Mangione mural is.

The Department for Education and Skills today announced that everyone will get a go on the computer, but you've got to give someone else a go after 20 minutes.

the government should offer everyone on this app 20 minutes of training on how to post better

Badenoch’s plan is quite clever. Reform will say “we think this things, have a leader not implicated in the failures of the last Conservative government”. And Badenoch will reply: “Ah, but you don’t understand. If it wasn’t for the Tory party, I wouldn’t have met Hamish.”

NEW: Expensive gas still biggest driver of high UK electricity bills, says UKERC "Volatile, gas-linked market prices – not green policies, as some misleading claims have suggested – dominate the real-terms increase in bills since 2021." www.carbonbrief.org/expensive-ga...

On the home page, just scroll down a bit. It's under 'key policy'. It's also the 3rd one here www.reformparty.uk/policies#pol...

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Kemi is the ur-British politician. Super weird, out of touch, but somehow the most cooked in ultra online politics focused on an alternative timeline where the Tories weren’t the main ruling party for most of her life.

English translation of statement from Ecuadorian Consulate regarding ICE’s attempt to enter their building in Minneapolis today:

I used to apply to 100 jobs a week after graduating into the middle of the 2008 recession and all it made me was frightened and desperate in a way that continues to this day.

If Democrats haven't announced their proposal for the Donald Trump No Guns in Public bill by the end of the day, they're missing an easy shot

Calling transphobia a 'gateway drug' to the far right undersells it. It's pure accelerant. Grimly fascinating to guess what crankery becomes any famous transphobe's secondary obsession, cos they all have one: 15 minute cities are fascism! Grok noncing is cool! ICE are good! We should kill all dogs!

Happy 'large boulder the size of a small boulder' day to all who celebrate!

The right-wing mind cannot imagine the spontaneous logistics of like five bored punks around a pot of lentils and are thus spooked by what is literally just an average zine.
