Today I apparently confused one of the baristas at the new coffee shop in town by asking "Do you guys have a house blend, or is it just single origin bags?" He looked at me like I was speaking Latin & asked "You mean like a mix of beans?". Are house blends not as common as I thought? #CoffeeSky

My latest review for @noizzeuk.bsky.social is the sort of band that would have old-fashioned stiff-upper lip types tutting, hmphing, and dropping their monocles into their cups of tea. It's the new EP from the provocatively named Twat Union and it's bloody good. www.noizze.co.uk/twat-union-d...

I just took action with @theactionnetwork.bsky.social: Stevenage Local Elections Candidate Interest. Take action here: actionnetwork.org/forms/steven...

It *literally* does. Thats what it is. A document which says youre British.

Cyberworld Soundwave is the "Grimlock" price point figure of the line this year and he sounds like the coolest shit. A sea monster with bendy tentacles???

🚨Incredibly important information!

Proscribe the Labour Party

Man. That alt mode is, uh, that's a thing. I'll probably still buy it, admittedly, because Kranix.

Is there some reason Transformers fans love to vaguepost? "Here's a picture of a figure. I'm not going to tell you which of the fifty different versions of the character it is, you should just know." "I'm going to complain about a figure. I won't provide any context." Details help, people.

So, as the man said, that was a fucking lie.

Meet Hannah Spencer - Green MP candidate for Gorton and Denton, and the only vote to stop Reform.

Necessary but not sufficient. He knew. And still appointed him. Starmer needs to go.

Epic made provably incorrect statements about the game’s content, refused to provide details supporting their claims, and has not shared their claimed AO IARC certificate, which normally includes a link for the developer to appeal. They do not ‘love that studio’, they have effectively ghosted us

@playkhiimori.bsky.social - Will you folks be making review keys available closer to releases?

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Greens wining, taking seats from Reform

About bloody time. A stone cold (hah!) classic.

Still the greatest video ever made. Sorry. I don't make the rules...

I gotta say. It’s not looking great for Smyths continuing to sell Tranformers toys. The TF section is getting smaller and smaller every time I go in. #Transformers

Today I learned Squenix has somehow stretched the FF7 remake into THREE games. THREE. Talk about milking a franchise.

And I bet the NRA won't say shit. They had their chance to show that they had any backbone, any integrity, but instead they tried to blame the murder victim for carrying a gun. From now on any time an NRA zealot opens his mouth, you get to say you've seen newborns with bigger balls than the NRA.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Including me! The Greens are the only sensible choice now. Tories - You couldn't pay me enough to vote for them. Labour - Just the Tories wearing a moustache. Lib Dem - Proved they'd sell their soul for a sniff at power. Reform - I'm not a racist, so no. We deserve better than this. #VoteGreen

The word "pussies" just doesn't convey how deep my utter contempt goes. You fucking snivelling, boot-licking, fascist apologists. Fuck the NRA. All the "oh, we need these guns to protect ourselves from tyranny" arguments are finally shown to be what we knew all along. The NRA are gutless cowards.

Andy Burnham won't be allowed to stand in Gorton and Denton. This means it is the Green Party who will take the seat. Vote for them if you don't want Fuhrer Farage ruling over you.

Creators and commentators are reporting their Alex Pretti videos are being taken down on multiple platforms. Download those videos while you can folks.

I've been leaning towards Tubi being the streaming service, and now I think it's official: they have Season 1 and Season 2 of one of the best science and technology comedy shows ever made… "Look Around You". Thanks, Tubi. Thubi. tubitv.com/series/30001...

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

First stop for #DistantWorlds3 is the charming "World of Death" (Spoihaae XE-X d2-9 A 1), a fast-orbiting planet that passes through the cones of a white dwarf, so there is only a small window of time where you can try to land. Here's a slightly panicked picture of my SRV on the surface.

The world might be going to shit, AI and social media might be destroying the internet as we know it, but you know what? Every now and again you stumble across one of those rare sites that reminds you just what the internet used to be for, and should still be for. Sites like this.

It's time to head out into the black. #EliteDangerous #DistantWorlds3

I tried watching Starfleet Academy. A strongish start that was thrown away after 30 minutes by the introduction of one of the most annoying characters in the franchise since Neelix, a scene that also showed a complete lack of understanding of the Klingon race. The Disco era really is just drivel.

Please do not confuse Horses 2025 (2026) with HORSES (2025).

The fact that Gavin Newsom is even talking to the likes of Shapiro is a sign that he’s a non-starter. I’ve never forgotten how Shapiro said that Trayvon Martin deserved to die. Not fucking ever.

Whaaaaat the actual fucking shit.....

Took my daughter to The Pixel Bunker in Milton Keynes to try out a proper retro arcade and while the price is reasonable, and we had a lot of fun, I’m gonna ding them for having a fair few busted machines. You're touting yourself as THE retro arcade, guys. Spend a bit more money on maintenance.

So I am a generally happy user of Tidal. I like that they give artists a far better share of profits, and I like the selection of music. But why is Tidal SO GODDAMN BAD at separating artists with the same name? Reef, Lemon Jelly, Pantera and more, lumped in with randos that sound nothing like them.

I did not know that shouting "fucking bitch" after shooting someone three times in the face causes internal bleeding, the more you know, right

Oh, Scott Adams died. A perfect example of how to destroy your own legacy right there.

"The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first attack on a 'drug boat,' killing 11 ... the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then killing them. That is a war crime."

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

And I see the ICE agent's bodycam footage has come out and, oh look, she did nothing that deserved getting shot in the street and the Trump administration is lying and protecting a murderer. What a surprise. www.bbc.com/news/article...

"Defunded by Congress and fearing the Trump administration might pervert the organization to further undermine free media, the board members agreed it was better to salt the earth than leave behind a place for Trump to plant his poisonous, choking weeds." — @lizdye.bsky.social

It's almost impressive how dull, boring & repetitive a game Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries is. I've been playing Battletech for 30+ years now and this entry in the franchise is a tedious slog that makes you wait far too long for better mechs & weapons while playing the same missions again & again.

Sites are picking and choosing what legal adult content is "ok" and paypros are largely behind it. We really need fans to pick up the calls to stripe, visa and Mastercard asap. This stuff is only getting worse and we must fight back in any way possible. stop-paypros.neocities.org

Oh for fuck's sake.

You will never be pure enough. You will never be clean enough. A certain kind of person will try to bludgeon you to death with the bar of acceptability regardless of what you make or post. So make or post whatever you want.
