ok to any Edinburgh publicans or anyone interested in a model of their house/business i want to big up a local artist that done amazing stuff for me for over 25yrs. He does painting as well but his latest thing is amazing model work

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Some are querying whether Andrew can renounce a dukedom without an Act of Parliament. But you can parse a duchy and he’s left outside. Good night.

It’s a hard life.

Today is All Saints' Day, so it is a fine opportunity to remind ourselves of one of the most significant English pop bands of the 1990s. spotify.link/Y3ApOFR3VXb

Well it's going to be pretty awkward when he gets there, isn't it

I sent a bunch of yarn to a friend who’s recently started crocheting - stuff I’ve had for ages & not really liked / found a use for - and she was *delighted* and keeps sending me photos of what she’s made with it and it’s so awesome to see.

I have gone to the pub for the first time since I stopped smoking, which is definitely the biggest test so far, but I am not giving in!

AAA video games should cost $100 on launch. this would still be extremely cheap for the amount of time and enjoyment you get out of them! But an audience of whiny babies has kept them literally at the same price for *two decades* despite both general inflation *and* sector-specific costs rising

Its genuinely exhausting for everyone involved that the cycle is 1- BNP style policy gets announced 2- Labour comms say something like well yes but also no.... 3-Labour MPs and others clearly have a freak out about it behind the scenes 4-Labour comes out with a clearer condemnation of said policy

There’s no solidarity quite like that between client journalists, the government and their billionaire backers. It’s all one big club. This so-called “journalist” called for me — a British MP — to be deported because I’m Muslim. Yet somehow he’s the victim. Cry me a river.

This is Soybean. He's a little guy with a big personality, and we have a feeling only one of those things is going to change. 12/10 (IG: g.anjang2)

What is the point of the Labour Party

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

The old system, where you bought the things you liked from artists you liked, has been replaced by a hose that indiscriminately gushes culture over a listless populace, while any money goes to the owners of the pipe.

Every office needs to have one person whose entire job it is to be terminally online, and everyone else needs to agree to listen to that person when they say that you need to change the name of your pet project or delete a media post.

I been robbed. All my arts gone.

Surprise Pink Panther reboot...

Are we sure this whole Louvre jewel heist thing isn’t just viral marketing for the next Oceans 11 film?

one of today’s speakers had written a book called “around the world in 80 games” and the person introducing them fluffed “games” and “days” and said they'd written a book called “around the world in 80 gays” and Dan and I turned to each other and said “… @beardynoise.bsky.social wrote a book?”

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

Reposting this poem here for @thelabandfield.bsky.social who retweets it every winter. Yet again, I'm wondering where *is* my soup and hibernation?

I drew a thing. A lot of the choices made in this don't have any profound meaning, I think I left a lot of stuff out - and both the sizing and groupings are a little slapdash. But I think it gets a general gist across of how I feel about the internet nowadays.

Had a really good day at New Scientist Live today but I am now left with the burning question of why we think the Hubble Constant is a constant.

My absolute highlight of New Scientist Live is, of course, the insects.

Just saw an incredible talk by @mtrc.bsky.social at New Scientist Live about AI. So refreshing to see someone talking realistically and pragmatically about the issues with widespread adoption of ‘I do everything’ LLM models.

This is one of those posts I think about a lot now. Especially on a day when the White House press secretary replied "your mom" to an earnest question about peace negotiations.

Peafowl are some of the largest birds that can fly. In fact, the chicks have all of their feathers when they emerge and are capable of flight roughly one week after hatching. They are also known for their aggressive disposition, so we'd be careful with the insults.

💥WIN: Victory in landmark case on gender recognition Am so proud to have worked on this case, and to work for an org which fights for - and successfully defends - trans rights. "A huge victory for trans people’s human rights in this country, at a moment where things have felt particularly dark."

Well, while the kittens survived being taken to the vet, I’m not sure I survived taking them.
