Here’s a poem called ‘Life of a Naturalist’.

this is why Dems need to go as hard as possible on reforms and actually fixing things rather than kick the can, because "people will remember how bad things were and not put these folks back in charge" is a demonstrably false statement

Unless Lammy is crushing JD's knuckles in his vice like grip, this isn't a good look. Read the planet David.

"All of it conducted with the arrogant, reckless confidence of two countries that have decided the normal rules of consequence simply don’t apply to them. As if power absolves you of the need for strategy, as if entitlement is a substitute for wisdom." Well said Bear. Well said.

open.substack.com/pub/techtren... Good read. Confirms a lot. Tldr AI code is janky as hell, being solved with resources not quality.

In a world full of problems, I hate that this technology boils our engines of hope down to empty non-interaction. My school recently polled to see how the faculty feels about using AI for GRADING. At what point is it just robots talking to each other? Where is the humanity in these humanities?

You will not agree with everyone marching at No Kings! You won't like every sign you see or cheer at every single line from every speaker! And that's fine - that's even great! It's important to get exposed to the diversity of the coalition and figure out where your lane is.

www.theguardian.com/media/2026/m... This is what happens when people think that just because nobody is holding them accountable today, that means they will never be held accountable. They will be held accountable. Happened with tobacco, happening here.

After the last time we had the Chilcot enquiry in the UK which gave us a checklist of what we should check before joining another war. It gives clear reasons to tell Donny to piss off. Legal implications, what does success look like? Not great there. What might happen next? Who the hell knows?

Me: "May I have two scoops of cookie dough please?" Waiter: "Yes, you wanna spoon?" Me: "Sure, what time do you get off?"

We've gone from YOLO to FAFO in just over ten days.

Why is everyone surprised that a ship the size of a village that was docked and taken to bits took a week to get going? It took my car three days to get through it's MOT.

Just recording the point where I said fuck Labour and switched to Green. This isn't a sudden decision and I've never been a party member, I strategically vote against the right wing. This though... It's one thing to jolly the old fart along in a golden coach. It's another to join his war.

Previous generations of rich people knew that it was important for them to shut the fuck up and build libraries and parks and hospitals since that was the only way we would tolerate them in society. This generation of rich people have forgotten why this was necessary. We should remind them.

This is not the most important thing, but a really good reason to educate your kid in math early is you end up finding pieces of paper with equations written in little girl handwriting, with hearts and cats drawn around them.

457 UK armed forces personnel died in Afghanistan during the 20-year deployment. This is a fucking hideous thing to say. Even by his non-existent standards.

Yesterday, today That escalated quickly

How's my morning going?

🚨Small boat migrants getting “private health care” while the rest of us have to use the NHS?!🚨 That’s outrageous! Or is it? Might the reality be a little more mundane and a little less clickbait-worthy? Let’s take a 👀 1/17 🧵

#duolingo energy cuts you off mid lesson then makes you watch an ad to then cut you off again mid lesson. It's a killer for me. A note at the start of the lesson saying "you won't get through this" would be nice. The free tier just went anti-learning by penalising when you quickly answer correctly.

www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio... I guess the mass unsubscribing contributed too, funny they don't mention it. It's all discussions and judgements and not "that really f*cking hurt our streaming income!"

No particular reason

Tonight at 11:30

Charlie Kirk wasn't even on my radar till he was murdered. When the news came out, I had to look up who he was. I wonder many of the people performatively mourning his death also didn't actually know who he was.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social when did the USA become North Korea?

What exactly is it about trans people that inspires such disproportionate self-incinerating rage in people who fall down anti-trans rabbit holes? That we've kinda done nothing is precisely why it's so disproportionate, to the conspiracy addled, it's more proof of our secretive far-reaching power.

I am looking to chat with people who have been disparagingly featured in Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt’s content. I would like to see how this affected you, especially if you can provide ample receipts and clear timelines. Please signal boost this anywhere you’d like, as I’m not on Twitter anymore.

I can strongly recommend this. The sci fi scale is epic, the characters are well rounded and slice of life adorable and then there's moments of pure steel. It's a hoot!

TODAY'S COMIC: What Artists Do

AI once again favouring talking points of the right hand side of UK politics. Adding the word "actually" to the query "are millionaires leaving the UK" turns the answer 180 degrees. Do your own research people.

Today’s poem is called ‘How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail’.

You've GOT to be kidding me! The Conservatives - who oversaw every single thing on this list - are trying to claim that only the Conservatives would "stop the madness" - that they created...? So incredulity aside, what about the list itself? Let's go Debunking! 1/34

Happy National Relaxation Day to all those who celebrate.

Every single person who is under the mistaken impression that their whiteness, conservatism, even their own fascism will save them is highly mistaken. That “first they came for” poem was written by a Nazi who once thought he was safe too. No one is safe under a fascist regime. No one.

Pikachu, I Choose You.

I would normally wish my American friends happy fourth of July today. This year let's just go with a hearty "hang in there folks"

This is not what the people in charge of educational excellence should be worrying about. When they start coming up with reasons to avoid change that are unrelated to their reason for existing, they've already lost. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

If you ever feel exhausted for caring about the destruction of the planet, the rise of racism or the wellbeing of others then just remember this: Very bad people are pouring billions into far right propaganda to try to radicalise you and it hasn’t worked. You’re unfuckwithable.
