Sun's out and the @MertonLibDems are out in #mitcham a brighter future on both fronts 😉 🔶

A scary reminder that the next set of elections might not come down to the old Left vs Right debate, and could well be about Liberal Vs Authoritarian... A good reason to lend your vote for a party with Liberalism at it's core www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Yeah, I've gone and added a FDM printer to my #elegoo Saturn... 😅 #printallthethings #3Dprinting

Rob Hutton’s evisceration of DCMS was the funniest and angriest thing I’ve read in response to what has happened to UK broadcast media thecritic.co.uk/bring-back-d...

Inside the Department of War are two wolves: "We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting." "How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

the most thoroughly vindicated man in hollywood. trade disputes and conspiracies ✔️ republic subverted over sex hangups ✔️ “sand people” killed, royalty indifferent ✔️ naive idiot casts vote for tyranny ✔️ villains with silly names like “dooku” ✔️ powerful clerical order screwing up ✔️ list goes on

Great news today: we were told that @libdems.org.uk have written to the Minister for Women and Equalities regarding the EHRC and Supreme Court ruling. Urging the Minister to appoint a joint committee of cross-party MPs and peers to conduct post-legislative scrutiny of both the

It’s nice to know where Nigel’s priorities are. 🏝️

Please for the love of god stop calling positions like this "tsar".

Switched from #pixel to #withnothing and I am looking it! Like android got a wake-up!

Elon Musk gets a lot of grief for buying Twitter and taking it over. But if he'd bought LinkedIn and fucked it up, he'd be regarded as a hero

Zac Goldsmith pivoted from bit-right-greeny-centrist to dog-whistle anti-immigration racist to try and beat Sadiq. Got himself smashed in the London Mayorals as a result. As every Tory has since. Crazy to think the lesson Labour HQ keep taking from that nationally is 'be more like Zac"

Shocked, shocked, etc to find Labour fighting a viciously illiberal campaign That’s just what they do. Way back in my campaigning days I helped in a Greater Manchester by-election 3 decades ago Labour’s slogan against the Liberal Democrats then: “Soft on drugs, high on taxes”

The most wholesome video you'll see today 🤩

The tech oligarchs pushing AI do not care if you can afford a computer, because they do not truly love the computer. aftermath.site/ram-prices-hdd...

eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor is it known unto the human heart, the magnitude of hate Pope Leo has for JD Vance specifically

The fact the Spotify TV app doesn't have an old school windows media player style visualiser is a travesty.

Like a proper grumpy old man I can't be doing with 90% of the new stupid expressions kids are coming out with these days, but I am absolutely here for* the return of vex'ed (vexated) it's quite onomatopoeic *("Here for" being another new/returning expression I guess?)

have you ever read one of my Discworld QOTDs and thought, hey, I should really get around to reading those books? good news! the full series is back on Humble Bundle - it’s Kobo but it’s pretty easily to transfer those to your preferred e-reader you won’t regret it

It's a thoughtless, mean-spirited and counter-productive idea. They shouldn't have proposed it in the first place. But now they have, they should think again.

If you correctly identified "thisss iiiiiiisss STTIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!" then well done for not confusing the other one, and tip Tony Schiavone 🤼‍♂️

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.

Yes great, but the last time he said this he followed it up with asylum policies which divided people and played on their sense of grievance. Hopefully the departure of McSweeney means things will be different this time, but I'm sceptical.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

Well... Not entirely unexpected, but now they've used their scape-goat that was supposed to be sacrificed on the local-election-disaster alter

Labour promised change, instead we're seeing the same old chaos as under the Conservative Party. No wonder the public are so fed up. The PM should hold a confidence vote now so the government can focus on fixing the cost-of-living crisis, the NHS and the economy.

i don’t know if it’s the jaunty bow tie or what but i cannot stop laughing at this

Nigel Farage here basically pointing to the conspiracy theory "The Kalergi Plan" in which combatants are secreted into target nations to foment race war. Instead of calling his bullshit out, the Labour rep assures him the govt is turbocharging deportations, thus sane-washing far-right rhetoric.

I understand that many Labour MPs fear for their jobs. The thing is, if I was concerned about losing my job, and there was a small army of top academics producing extensive high quality research on how I could best avoid that, I would probably, you know, read it.

itcouldbesaid.substack.com/p/it-could-b... This was meant to be about Labour's alternatives to Starmer but I just wrote & wrote about what a moral disgrace he is that I realised that was the column. Starmer is a bad man doing bad things for bad reasons. Quitting now is the only way to prove me wrong

Anyone know if you can set #spotify to only play #humanmade music, no disguised AI regen'ed rubbish?

late to the party here, but when did @twit.tv change from saying "netcasts" to podcasts like the rest of us plebs?

I'd say they can't hear James in the back, but that's because they enhad their fingers in there ears and their heads up... In the sand... Since 2016, and will never own the disaster Brexit has been and was predicted to be.

Weak, weak, weak. This appeasement must end. Starmer should be uniting with our allies against Trump's threats, not splitting off to suck up to him.

Having just started a new job... 100% this

Found a way to do the straight ally flag for my mini gate crushers series. Was quite the challenge working with those tiny stripes, but i'm happy i've managed to include it.

My wife just sighed a said "Your a white man of a certain age of course you had a fucking podcast! 🙄"

#AchievementUnlocked worked it how to use them 'classic' drip coffee pot coffee maker to change the water/coffee/filter and make a fresh out of coffee for the office. I had a cup of tea while I was figuring it out, obviously... I'm not a barbarian 😆 ☕

Today has been a collection of small wins at work ✅ Find good tea (then coffee, in that order) ✅ Find the nice bathrooms they don't tell gen-pop about 😄

The biggest contributor to copyright infringement is calling work "content". Work has value, but content does not. Since it has no value, there's no harm in infringement, right? We need to go back to recognising - and paying for - the value inherent in artistic works.

Great! Now show us the evidence. Because so far you’ve point blank refused. Which some might think looks a little suspicious.
