A whole lot of folks in my age range going full Facebook boomer mode with the ChatGPT caricatures this weekend 😂

Episode 4 of Knight of the Seven Kingdoms dropping early?! Weekend made already 🤌

Loved the first two episodes of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms. Tremendous dialogue, good pacing, and loving the general vibe. Only downside is the length of the episodes - need more time with Dunc & Egg. Keeps you hooked though, terrific tele.

Missed call about a holiday package I enquired about last week. Apple’s voicemail text transcript preview way off the mark on this occasion 🧐

Hearts reveal Lawrence Shankland will be out for between 6-8 weeks with a hamstring strain after a scan. A HUGE blow for the club. Hello darkness my old friend...

Bonkers finish to the AFCON final here

Games Workshop is a fantastic success story and long may it continue. Absolutely loved going to the branch on the Royal Mile as a kid to get the Lord of the Rings miniatures. Hours spent toiling away painting meticulously. www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I’d like to report a crime.

Swim, sauna, and steamroom is the perfect remedy for a gloomy wet Sunday 🌧️

That Liverpool squad is full of world-class talent. If they’re not ‘gelling’ or performing, the buck ultimately stops with the manager. Crazy drop-off.

"Why are the people I repeatedly platformed doing the things their opponents said they'd do?" Joe Rogan is unbelievable. edition.cnn.com/2026/01/14/u...

🇺🇸 The FBI on Wednesday searched the home of a Washington Post journalist who has written about US federal job cuts, in a move the newspaper described as "highly unusual and aggressive" ➡️ u.afp.com/SXra

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

Reform wants to ‘fix’ the country - to achieve this its *checks notes* recruiting people from the party that plunged it into chaos after 14 years of government. ??? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

LinkedIn is in a truly sorry state. AI slop, ragebait posting, 'traders' and 'property developers' just fawning over Dubai. Utterly woeful.

“Yes, but he’s slow off his line” - pundit slams 93-year-old Craig Gordon after wonder save in 2075/76 title race

Can you guys smell that? It's ANOTHER Heart of Midlothian win. And may well be the biggest of the season. Two left-backs injured, 45 minutes with 10-men and a world class Craig Gordon save. The mark of champions... www.heartsstandard.co.uk/news/2575622...

Going to have to redownload Headspace or something like that for matchdays moving forward. Anxiety levels at DEFCON 1 ffs.

Every match a cup final at this stage for Hearts, this second half is huge. Boys or men moment for this squad if it’s serious about winning a title.

AI is seriously frazzling people’s brains, and it’s only going to get worst.

Working through the incendiary shotgun damage challenge for assault class on Battlefield. Quite possibly the worst secondary/gadget of all time. Like punching smoke when firing.

Banning X would do wonders for political discourse in the UK. You’d completely isolate a misinformation hellscape that warps minds, starving reactionaries and hate peddlers of the attention they crave. www.politico.eu/article/keir...

The UK has a lot of problems that need addressed, but seeing the US spiralling toward authoritarianism certainly puts things in perspective. The same chaos and lunacy over there could creep in here if parties like Reform end up in Downing Street.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

NEW: At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality. Our latest:

Woman in Minnesota fatally shot by ICE agent during raid, video shows

‘Who’s who at X, the deepfake porn site formerly known as Twitter’ The FT chose violence with the headline and images in this piece on X lmao. www.ft.com/content/ad94...

The Duffer brothers really knocked it out the park with the Stranger Things finale - sensational. That’s how you wrap up a show *coughs* Benioff and Weiss *coughs*

Lord of the Rings reference in Stranger Things last night. Naturally, this means I’m now watching Lord of the Rings. Perfect lazy in-between day.

I’ve played a lot of Battlefield since it came out, but this is taking the piss. Hope it’s bot lobby farming otherwise someone seriously needs to touch grass.

Nothing worse than folk who make living in Dubai etc their entire personality. Sorry, not interested in hearing about how 'amazing' it is and why the UK is in a state of decline.

Embarrassing.

Liverpool’s game management this season is among the worst I’ve ever seen by a top team.

Redsec is essentially a box looting simulator with fleeting moments of excitement and gunplay. A truly mind numbing experience compared to regular Battlefield game modes. Give me Breakthrough or Escalation any day of the week.

Between Scotland and Hearts, football will be the death of me one day. World Cup bound, Alba gu bràth!

Death, taxes, web outages. This time #Cloudflare is getting in on the action. www.itpro.com/infrastructu...

Covid in early 2022, maybe one or two colds since then, and then boom, Covid this week. Mingin.

Absolutely zero concerns this will end badly. Zero. None at all. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Springsteen movie a good watch and got me right in the mood to crack the vinyl on tonight.

Nothing quite sums up the demise of American democracy like corporate behemoths sponsoring this destruction.

Finally got round to finishing the Narrow Road to the Deep North last night. Great bit of television but deary me the fourth episode is possibly one of the most horrific and heart-wrenching things I've ever watched.

A massive AWS outage bricking hundreds of sites and platforms worldwide this morning - a great start to the week. Recovery ongoing but there will be a lot of stressed folks out there today. Via @itpro.com #AWSoutage www.itpro.com/infrastructu...

Not getting my hopes up over a potential Hearts ‘title race’ - if you have low expectations you can never be let down, and Aberdeen were flying at this point last season. Enjoying the ride so far though. Huge game next week that’ll show our mentality.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

We’re *so* close to everyone working it all out. www.theverge.com/news/674366/...

Birmingham, my home city, is a fantastic city, with fantastic people- a success story. It has its problems, like anywhere. But the obsession the online right has with it is as transparent as it gets.
