One of my favourite parts of living in Edinburgh is that I have an address format where packages actually arrive if I use it, but a lot of websites force a different address format that means packages just vanish without a trace

I am cursed to love the _idea_ of playing boomer shooters (the ones that aren't Quake-derived anyway) but I absolutely suck ass at them and have done since Doom and Duke3D in the 90s

Corey Doctorow's latest post is a really great read on the AI bubble pluralistic.net/2025/09/27/e...

Bar snacks: ESCALATION

What do you mean putting a lot of attention on a very small marginalized group that minds our own business was a distraction??

It's strange, knowing that I'm alive while the pinnacle of human artwork has been created. And yet here I am watching this video

Do you want the world to seem a better place, albeit briefly? Listen to Promenade Cinema in that case, because they're _so good_

It is notable how scared people in power are of this shitlord, because there's a distinct lack of anyone pointing out that uh, he's batshit and this is maybe a problem for everyone The fact that MPs are happily watching the UK beg to throw cash and data at Palantir is pretty shameful

Yes things suck but have you considered that in a world with a torrent of fake AI artists, social media owned by technofascists, and pittances paid where things are streamed - people are still making so much great music and just doing it regardless? And often asking little or nothing for it?

baby Cheesecake :)

I don't doubt that many in the Labour party do love a bit of the old fascism, but it is almost funny (if not for the fascism) that their support is cratering as they try to reach people who will never vote for them but somehow no one in the party thinks their advisers might be doing a shit job

People keep phrasing it as "young men are lonely so they're turning to right wing grifters for belonging and comradery" when it's much more "right wing grifters are turning young men into atrocious human beings that no one wants to be around"

if you play the Command & Conquer: Remastered Collection and switch to the high definition graphics rather than use the gorgeous blocky originals then you're a cop

I sometimes count 45 seconds from the exact time a meeting is meant to start before joining, to avoid small talk with the initial joiners. The problem is that this relies on other people being obsessive about punctuality and joining at the exact start time to the second, which perhaps is a Me Thing

Very suspicious. I hate it. Bring me back to my heat lamp.

The Lady's Companion, a series of small kits containing things a Victorian woman would have carried in the mid-19th century: sewing kit, notions, small notebook, scent bottle, corkscrews, and ear picks. Currently on display at the Tatter Library in Brooklyn IG tatterbluelibrary

Undid my previous repost to quote it and say that CRJ's Your Type is undeniably the best synthpop song of the 2010s that doesn't come from an album called Body Talk (Side B is great and all, but Your Type is just the most perfect song in this genre that isn't by Robyn)

hey i found your wikipedia page

Its wild how Carly Rae Jepsen's B side albums are better than most pop artists' best songs

At this point, I will distrust and usually avoid any bands with obvious genAI art, or who do a deliberate "mysterious anonymous producer" thing. I love weird bandcamp-only artists who don't give a shit about popularity, but have at least something to suggest you're a human

Can't wait to see Labour's relaunch, which will surely be trying to reach people who don't like the direction the UK is on and definitely won't just be a US-placating attempt to appeal to fascists and half-assed promises about an AI-enabled future wait

This is hilarious. These people have never run a real business. It is 100% a scam operated by skiled, dedicated grifters. www.wsj.com/articles/sto...

My dad recently had some people housesitting while he was away. When I asked how it went, he replied with scathing contempt that they were "people who bought pre-made salad dressing"

Lady Companion and I (who do not live together) have a running joke that if we run into each other in the shops then we mustn't look into each other's baskets because the horror and revelations about how we live when we're apart might End Things

"in the early 2010s there would only be a few dozen articles a year in UK outlets mentioning trans people (60 in 2012 for instance), but it was over a thousand in 2018, and over 7,500 in 2022. The overwhelming majority of these articles were highly negative" www.liberalcurrents.com/britains-bat...

It has long been my opinion that Hollywood is frittering away the generational dance talents of Channing Tatum & Tom Holland by not putting them in a musical together. Not a remake, but akin to Gene Kelly & Donald O’Connor in Singin’ In The Rain. I strongly believe this would make a billion dollars

Visiting my dad tomorrow and not sure what's worse - if he doesn't understand How Bad Things Are Right Now in general, or alternatively if he _does_ and all he wants to talk about is politics and the state of things when I am hoping for a few days of Not That

This peanut butter bun from the Asian supermarket was pretty great, but I'd expect nothing less since it was evidently an Improved Bun

the hysteria has gone off the rails so far that the average american thinks 1 in 5 people are transgender. pure absolute insanity that is driving the current lavender scare

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.
