This is grim & dangerous over reach. This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent. Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

Not sure if it’s the whole bit of September where I had Covid or the Seasonal Sads kicking in but man, I’m feeling kinda isolated right now

⚠️VERY IMPORTANT BIRD UPDATE!!!!!⚠️

Oh! A Pink-footed Goose is waddling through your feed. How very silly. 💗

Two weeks in. You should do this if you’re thinking about it

fewer than 1% of the human population will ever get to type a comeback as contextually devastating as this

The essential failure of LLMs in the smart home - where natural language processing should shine - is the best evidence that LLMs as a technology simply may not be able to do the things they’re promised www.theverge.com/report/78717...

Watching the Leicester game from home, because I’ve only just tested negative, and the commentator has made lots of mistakes today but saying that “the referee has blown up” might be my favourite slip of all

Migrants already carry out work for their communities, it’s called ‘having a fucking job’ and it’s mandatory because we aren’t eligible for benefits

It’s bisexual Christmas

still play this in my head at least once a day

I can’t wait to find out how much crunch it’s taking to make Wolverine

Seeing Xbox games come to PS5 is already weird, but them being announced at a State of Play feels like the kind of fever dream this Covid I have has been crying out for

I’m tapping the fucking sign harder than I’ve tapped it in my life

Thank you Also - rest of uk politicians - why is that too difficult for you to say and/or post?

The guy currently most likely to be our next Prime Minister wants to punish my fiancé, an immigrant from the US who has the legal right to be here, for the crime of [checks notes] paying into the British tax system his whole adult life I’m so stressed and upset www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Meghan’s writing rules tbh

When you save a document to the cloud, it's actually looked after by a Samoyed. The time it takes to download is really for figuring out which Samoyed has your file.

everyone has already got the explicit discourse on this covered so i will simply add its insanely funny to say this as the developer of games where you kill like. ten thousand guys

this exists it is called thinking

last one before I become insufferable: stop making everything a discord server! we've had forums for decades! and also as a discord server mod it is frequently just miserable

the other one is that I wish we hadn't converged a bunch of things into the smartphone. I wish I could just buy a brand-new iPod, because my phone is an attention black hole and listening to albums on them is hard

The world feels a lot meaner than it used to, and I think it's because we spent most of this century devaluing humanities subjects, erasing a bunch of media literacy, and deciding it was just way better to let algorithms decide what we consume, digitally and physically

on behalf of us all, in this current political climate, let me just say: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUAAAUAAAAAAAAAUGHH

guys just join the green party

We cannot make the headlines blunter people www.theverge.com/policy/77979...

I don’t know when it’s going to pop for a lot of normies that they are living under an authoritarian regime, but the cancellation of popular TV shows that make fun of the administration might do it www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

While I was playing the PC port of Uncharted 4 I got two separate full-screen interruptions from Windows at startup, and it finally pushed me over the edge

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

imagine getting qt dunked by ed davey. unrecoverable. you’re furious and he is serenely going down a log flume in bognor regis.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Pleased to announce that the screaming seal era is OVER (until United/Leicester Women go on a bad run, or I have to start thinking about the St Nicks budget)

Starmer’s Labour is so remarkably obsessed with being seen to be grown-ups. To them it’s more important to call those asking you to speak out against genocide student politicians and nitpick the semantics of “plausible genocide” than to speak out against a genocide your base is horrified by

Two years too late, but ftr this is the most likely thing to force Israel out of Eurovision: broadcaster boycotts

YOU HAVE ENTERED THE TINGLEVERSE. THIS IS A NO GATEKEEPING ZONE

What a country we live in.

BBC News covered the emergency alert and also decided it was Hammer Time

JESUS THAT’S LOUD

Debriefing Pride with some of the people who organised it with me for St Nicks and am suddenly reminded of this

I don’t know who told Clegg that the jacket and overly-unbuttoned shirt look worked but he looks like your dad at the end of a party when he’s had a bit to drink and is getting a bit overly emotional

With Leicester Pride over I have to start thinking about a new budget for St Nicks, and also how I can possibly beat this picture in the presentation

here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road

on top of it being immoral evil and bad, i hope they know that tolerating this is going to kill this new party
