I once again beg all y'all not to screencrap nonsense from the former Twitter and bring it here to dunk on it, that's like inviting a vampire in to tell them their fangs look stupid, maybe you're right but they're still going to fucking eat you (also "screencrap" was a legit typo but I left it in)

Mousecow has been rummaging through her hooman's games and has picked out a disk that she thinks will be very good and would like to play and no you cannot touch you play by sitting on. #EverybodyLovesMousecow

Freedom is just another name for “a gap in the law”.

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

"single-use plastic of the mind" had me GAGGED

I am well on the way to concluding that humanity is just too stupid to safely operate the world it has created.

Reposted with alt text. Also, from a cursory look, this appears to basically be true, which is pretty funny. Philosophers... debate.

Met Office says there will be 122mph wind, gusting to 134mph on the Ben later on.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

"Perhaps he's unpopular because people didn’t vote for a more competent manager of the darkness. They wanted someone to turn the lights on." My bit for @bylinetimes.bsky.social on the Labour Conference www.bylinesupplement.com/p/russell-jo...

You need to break this habit of checking your feed the moment you open your eyes in the morning. Nothing good comes of starting your day with high anxiety. Nothing good happened overnight. A broken world won’t mend because you read how it’s broken; it’ll just break you. This has been a note to self.

Text generators in all Microsoft products but it’s char-rnn trained on vintage jello recipes and every time you ask it to complete your sentence it’s all “Pour into thickened, 3 1/2 pounds cooked and chopped pickles; cook of cold in saucepan.”

One, that's not how copyright works and there will be an entire battalion of IP lawyers who will be happy to correct Open AI of this misapprehension, likely to the tune of billions of dollars, and two, fuck this shitty thieving waste of proteins and lipids

If they make voluntary work compulsory, for balance they should also make compulsory work voluntary

In general I think it's hard to combat scientific misinformation when some of the best research is locked behind an academic paywall, while lots of nonsense gets published free for everyone to read in predatory journals.

As a society, our financial system around information is insane. It is the kind of system you would create if you wanted everyone to go insane.

Can you imagine what the reaction would have been if John Major had proposed linking his Cones Hotline to a national ID card back in '92? And yet, here in the most stupid of all possible timelines, they‘re unironically suggesting making a digital ID app with a pothole-reporting function.

If I was Donald Trump I would not be drawing the public’s attention right now to my ability to release files

But, but, what if an immigrant reported a pothole and then the council fixed it when they could have been fixing a pothole that a proper real English person noticed just the other day while they were painting a flag wonkily on a roundabout but couldn’t be arsed to report? What then, huh? Huh?

I agree that having them now, having had them for a long time, in very decentralised state with strong constitutional protections and a political system in which it’s difficult for one party to ever entirely dominate, is great. Not sure introducing them now in the UK as it is is a good idea at all.

"A raccoon that is used as a deterrent"? "Lemon-themed city"? The first L in LLM stands for "loony", it seems.

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself? "fork lady is eroding public confidence." "ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field." "lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability." that's what you sound like.

"Additionally, we will be charging a 30% Tariff on Upholstered Furniture"

They arrived. oh no. OH NO.

Amazing, the government has found a way to make even those of us who see the point in an ID card hate the idea. Well done. The only ID I want to prove is my own; I am not interested in having a naff ‘Brit’ ID foisted upon me.

Americans have "Trump Always Chickens Out", in Britain we have "Farage Isn't Being Serious" - FIBS.

Ah, he has seen what regulatory lawyers look like: with their seven heads and ten horns, and upon their horns ten crowns, and upon their heads the word ”compliance”.

'Expect to hear a lot more of that.' What I'd actually love to hear is a journalist or two (are there any left?) who will actually challenge this utter nonsense. We've never had uncontrolled immigration, we don't have uncontrolled immigration now. Why keep repeating the lie unchecked?

Our politics and media have become viciously obsessed with immigration. Farage has made sure of it. And in that obsession, they’ve all lost sight of the people they target. Fellow human beings trying to live and belong somewhere. Shame on everyone responsible for this daily inhumanity (Letter,Times)

Cool cool. So perhaps you'd like to stand in front of a moving vehicle. Or is that kind of science magically settled somehow?

The problem isn't autism. It's fear and hatred of autism. The problem isn't trans people. It's fear and hatred of trans people. The problem isn't immigration. It's fear and hatred of immigrants.

hey it worked for me too #RepositoryOfKnowledge

The greatest innovation billionaires have come up with is they found a way to have billions of dollars and still be miserable and angry all the time

Kemi Badenoch should throw Liz Truss out of the Tory party. See my letter below 👇

I'm glad Kimmel is coming back. However, "free speech" where you can reverse government-coerced corporate censorship but only if your supporters make stock price influencing noise would be like a healthcare system in which you need a GoFundMe to go viral to afford treatment. ... wait.

WATCH THIS: The most amazing thing about this remarkable 2002 car commercial is that it didn’t seem to realize at the time, or perhaps didn’t care, how effectively it made the point that cars and car infrastructure are a HUGE waste of space in cities. Award-winning 2002 ad for Saturn car company.

I am saying this to EVERYBODY, but @originstorypodcast.bsky.social on Powell & 'Rivers of Blood' shouldn't just be on the national curriculum, it should be required listening for all. Esp ANYONE commenting on Reform/Kirk/Yaxley-Lennon. Cannot believe we're wading through this much ignorance again.

Please note that while the shop at the brewery will be open as usual today there may be some disturbance caused as we’ll also have a collection of former Labour MPs in there attempting to organise a piss-up.
