Never knew there was an alt cut and vid for this track, so was a nice surprise to discover :) I also LOVE the La Roux energy of being an annoying little sister wailing in to your ear at 3:40😆It's adorable youtu.be/pmtLo0cXwAA?...

Malcolm Tucker: "You've spoken to the wrong expert.. you have to ask the right expert.. And you have to know what the expert is going to advise before he advises you" The UK Govt definitely has The Thick of it on repeat and plucks policy guidance from Malcolm Tucker

Watching The Thick Of It for a nice blast of nostalgia; when politics could still be satirised because farce wasn't the order of the day Shambling from one catastrophe to the next, barely keeping the Government together was a terrific premise for a satirical comedy - Less so as literal policy

According to the new Australia social media ban for under 16's, Bluesky apparently doesn't exist... Expect an uptick in young Aussies! Might want to check your NSFW designations etc

All these big blue wins across America are just a big distraction from the real story… All the big Trump losses!

Reeves trying to justify hiking taxes because of a productivity downgrade is basically saying "Workers aren't making enough profit for companies, so you all get a pay cut" at the Govt level Except for those oh so productive Pensioners and asset rich people who contribute a sum total of fuck all

Badenoch - "Reeves should blame herself, not Tories, for any tax rises in budget" Also Badenoch seconds prior - (on income tax rises) "if the government does that, it will change the economic framework the Tories would inherit" Why is she SO BAD AT THIS

Going back through the hit list... Jackass re-release had a pre-disclaimer before the disclaimer now 😆 "..with outdated social norms" You kidding me? It was on the fucking edge of acceptable in the 00's People got so turned in Covid.. Lockdowns and boredom did weird shit to peoples pressure gauge

@pocketcasts.com Do you do an ad free version of the subscription service? Looking to finally give Spotify the heave ho (I sacked it off years back - My Wife still uses it mainly for Podcasts) Ads on a paid sub are the devils work, and a barrier to switching at the mo!! Cheers

After a decent enough time with Dying Light: The Beast, I went back to play the first game for a sense of it's evolution. Man.. What have games become these days? Busy work sims... you meet new characters, and the first thing they do is give some exposition then tell to fuck off an do busy work

I love soft cell, so now YouTube thinks I'm gay.. FFS - not a problem, I have nothing but love for my gay folk, but this is the weakness of "THE ALGORITHM" I'm a straight dude, married... but a single click defines your "feed" Such is the way incels are created. No nuance at all

Had to quote post this, but yeah.. I'm in my 40's, white male and I'm "uncle" to LOADS of kids I have no familial connection with, and I have people in their 80's/90's that are still my Aunts and Uncles because they were part of my life when growing up This is a widespread cultural norm

It's late, I've had a few beers. So of course I now need to watch Kate Pierson and lament that I could never be the person she wanted You lucky lesbians.. youtu.be/YYOKMUTTDdA?...

Man.. Zebrahead were such an original band.. blending a range of styles Sadly, they ended when Justin left :( But I still have great memories seeing them live on the MFZB tour youtu.be/3ZsqnG0L86M?...

Bad Religion have always been rather prophetical.. youtu.be/RGqA1lNXYhg?...

Well, was one of the harder cancels, but Xbox GamePass is gone now. Used to be the best money a gamer could spend, now it's a cynical cash grab, compounded with the fact they haven't denounced the fat orange cunt using Halo assets to promote his Nazi agenda. Fuck em all.

I see the recent BYND scam has created a lot of "Community members" rather than millionaires. This is why you don't trade on memes folks.. The people telling you to buy already got their bag and you're their exit liquidity. You're buying into their sells..

Honestly one of the most accurate deconstructions of UK behaviour I've ever seen.. I hope that we have become far better behaved over the years, but knowing some of my family... I dunno Stupendously funny stuff 😆 www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-uE...

I really want to watch Under The Silver Lake again, but I felt so unreasonably attacked by the scene in the "retro" bar with "old" music, and it was literally the backbone of my entire real world playlist. I love obscure and liminal horror, but please don't attack me so hard.. I know I'm old

Saw someone say today that they wish life was like a git repo, so they could roll back to a more stable version. Fuck that!! It means everything you do is auditable. I rely on the fallibility of human memory so that I'm not a social pariah and entirely outcast

I'm sick of being attacked with YT recs, trashing on #GhostofYotei as an "ugly" game No bitch, just because they went with a real human looking character rather than an "Asian fuck-toy fetish" catering to the Western gaze doesn't make it ugly It just shows that you're the problem It's brilliant

Just a quick notice.. if you're reading anything that Dominic Cummings says and taking it seriously, your brain is fucking broken His platform was made of lies.. lies to BoJo, lies to MPs, lies to the Public, lies to expert divisions of Govt. bodies And you think he NOW has valuable information?

Feel like I've found the Grail tonight.. Original Scrubs, all episodes (including the ones removed by bored white people during lockdown), original music and no AI upscaling or 60fps fiddling Just pure 2000's nostalgia, stored safely on my home NAS, forever away from censorship and deletion

I love having an absolutely puerile sense of humour, but also follow politics very closely and absorb from multiple sources. So I can go from Celebrity Juice to Have I Got News For You, to Newsnight without getting whiplash

I've found it a really good exercise to look up the life experiences of people you initially have a "bad" reaction to in media, because (to quote the great Kevin Bloody Wilson) half of what you read is bull and the other half's all shit Some are unrepentant cunts but many are just people getting by

Hmm why is the #DyingLight : The Beast new event not shown in game, but tracked via a website? I suspect many more people would log in to participate if we could see the progress while playing So far not even 5% progress towards the main goal Interested to see if it gains traction over the weekend

Holy fuck.. just realised why people are getting "offended" at the use of Clanker for describing AI bots.. They are equating it with the N word, because other people have come up with slurs that evoke dead black peoples names And here's me in my innocence thinking it was a nod to Star Wars

Yep, my slice of the UK is at that weird temperature where you need both a fan to move air around, but a heater on as well RIP my electricity bill Time for the cats to earn their keep... I humbly request 100% occupancy taken up on my chest while I sleep

This is the danger of so called "vibe" coding. I had a VERY fucking late requirement that I'm still fucking furious about. It's old school html and Javascript app when I've been using Angular 17+ and ts, so rather than "Re-learn" the old ways I leveraged some code completion It sucked.

Would be nice if everyone in the UK reported the fat orange turds vagi-neck photo on the Time cover as pornographic material.. I'm not joking.. it looks more like a vagina that some actual vaginas

It's flea treatment time in my house. So ensues the monthly ritual of employing several different methods of trying to trick, cajole or fight my cats into their treatments No scratches, but lots of betrayed faces looking at me as I dole out compensatory treats

"Record Crash" - bitch this didn't raise my heart rate by a single BPM I wonder if people writing this nonsense have any skin in the game, or have ever actually sat through a proper financial existential crisis that you can't do anything about as it unfolds www.tradingview.com/news/reuters...

As much as I despise this utter fucking twat, and believe he should 100% be in prison, I'd have told them to get fucked as well.. Trumping up "Terrorism" excuses because he had some cash and gave "vague replies" is horse shit www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crim...

I'm not often disappointed by the calibre of our lags, but the fact Ian Watkins lasted as long as he did is a stain on the reputation of our imprisoned criminals. He should have been stabbed to fuck in the first few days Vile cunt. Come on Crims.. have some pride

I don't know why, but it makes me unbearably sad realising that all of the Low Roar tracks in Death Stranding 2 are all posthumous after the troupe leads death It adds a real weight to a game that features a protagonist eventually coming to terms with loss, grief and trauma Kojima did them right

Hope people invested are keeping cool heads today Temporary pullbacks are to be expected (not advice - I'm not an adviser) Having weathered pretty much every storm from 2008 onwards, this didn't even raise my blood pressure today. It's market panic on the whim of a mercurial, sundowning fuckwit

I'm an old as shit Metaller, and Machine Head are still the youthful upstarts for me.. A lyric they wrote for their debut album, has never been more relevant given the Charlie Kirk temperature of Christo-fascism "Corruption, racism, hate The church has failed If Jesus came down He'd be shot"

I want #EA to delete my data under GDPR right to be forgotten, because I don't do business with Saudis or Nazis In all my time protecting my data have I never come across a company so deliberately breaking the law and making it obnoxiously difficult Been in a 30 min queue for 2 hours Cunts.

It was genuinely sad to use GDPR to erase my Discord data, as I had friends on there I've gamed with since the very early 00's (predating Discord by about 15 years) and for many it was my only link to them But with all that's happened, was clearly the right thing to do from a security perspective

Queueing in pubs needs to stop.. It was a Covid relic that can absolutely be retired now. I'm happy enough to bypass a queue and get served first, because it's far more efficient for a well trained team to take multiple orders rather than one at a time..

I've been really struggling with my job recently. Not that it's hard or challenging, purely because I've slowly been pulled into "management" and platform engineering rather than coal face development. Stepped back this week, cancelled calls, and just focused on creating. Feel MUCH happier

Oh, not that anyone asked, but I'm a huge comedy fan. Absolutely fuck anyone that took blood money from the Saudi regime to wash their reputation Cunts making careers out of "you can't tell jokes anymore" then signing contracts agreeing to not tell certain jokes Fuck the lot of them.

Re-Watching some old Celebrity Juice episodes.. and man, while it's puerile it's still hilarious.. but also has a darkness to it when you realise just how many of the guests are now dead or scandal beset But not letting the bad get in the way of the good, and thinking kind thoughts for those passed

Just got around to finishing the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 story and my word.. What an incredible achievement and an absolute triumph of gaming Music 10/10 Mood 10/10 (would mope again) Writing 9/10 (No game can get away with "verisimilitude") Play 10/10 VA work 13/10

Not 100% verified this, but can see on the Uber T's and C's they have a page laying out how they will store and delete your scanned photo ID data, so I'm taking this as a real threat until verified otherwise. #mandatoryId www.reddit.com/r/glasgow/co...

I realise I've run out of energy to keep up with what the media laughably call the News So I'm stepping back, and just focusing on earning enough money to withdraw from society ASAP My energy will be spent on keeping ahead of Govt. overreach rather than trying to stop it, as Democracy doesn't work

One of my cats managed to lay on my programmable keyboard in such a way to change the settings to some fucked up profile, which meant keys held down together would alternate inputs. By these means, he was able to send over 700 messages to a friend chat group by laying on the * and enter keys

Genuinely respect what @katmabu.bsky.social is doing, but when activism comes down to asking for money from the oppressed, you become part of the problem "If only I had another few million I could DO something" Maybe it's just so alien to my British brain, but this just screams of hypocrisy to me
