The same company that shuts off autopilot milliseconds before impact to goose their safety figures. Very trustworthy.

This is not a rumor or slander, this happened, it's on record, and we only have Tesla's word they ever stopped www.reuters.com/technology/t...

Tesla employees passed around photos of the insides of customers' garages, footage of what they were doing inside/near their cars. The cars were OFF at the time, a nude Tesla driver walking past their car in the privacy of their own garage became a Tesla office meme Stop embracing surveillance tech

It is positively dumbfounding to me that literally ANYONE still has Alexa in their homes, neverminded that they're lining up to buy literal surveillance sunglasses

2: Tariffs. The White House is spinning tariff reductions as a "pivot to affordability." That's bullshit, Trump keeps calling affordability a "hoax." What's actually happening: we crushed them in elections litigated on costs; now they're retreating. Many tariffs still in place, but this is good.

1: Elections. Two weeks ago we pummeled them in every election that mattered in the country. You know this already, I know it, they know it, I just have to say it here because what follows flows partly from it. The opposition stepped up, and these victories got immediate results, including...

Intrigued that the Labour Party has a Denmark policy - seize jewellery and assets from asylum seekers - and also an anti-Denmark policy - don’t tax middle earners enough to support welfare state.

we're at modern russian levels of bullshit

I had to decline a lovely invitation from the Texas A&M law school because of a scheduling conflict. It was NOT because I'm a University of Texas Austin graduate and therefore a Longhorn. 😄

The executive has encouraged the legislature to compel the executive to release files the executive holds and has chosen not to release despite calls from legislators. It's unclear whether the executive will veto the legislature's bill, and whether the legislature will over-ride the executive's veto

Publishing proof of a journalist's unethical lies in the very magazine where she was just made Editor is a really comical example of elite impunity.

A screenshot for the record.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served. F that!

Might not be tomorrow, but it will happen. See: 3/3 ca.investing.com/news/stock-m...

At least 1950s British boarding houses had three policies.

A completed script? For a SW movie? what are they thinking?

Soderbergh also wrote in a statement to The Associated Press, “I really enjoyed making the movie in my head. I’m just sorry the fans won’t get to see it.”

"They didn’t see how Ben Solo was alive. And that was that.” A Star Wars movie by Steven Soderbergh, written by Scott Z. Burns, with Adam Driver, post SW9. And they said no. 🤯

Sometimes I think about lightsabres and if they were real, and the fact that you'd only need to be a klutz for one second and drop/fudge that thing, and depending on the angle you've either cut yourself into pieces OR it's gone blade-down into the earth, hit lava, and now you live in a live caldera.

Labour mayor of Sandbach can only understand bottom-up, organic critiques of Labour as the result of an organised, top-down conspiracy. The easy response: tu quoque, this expresses Labour's top-down party line; the more difficult response: Labour politicians are conspiracists living in a fantasy

At age 16 I found myself having to debate that it was not inherently pedophilic for gay people to be employed as teachers or camp conselors. This position was somehow controversial in the realm of education at the time.

i see this shit, the game goes in the bin, doesn't matter how much I'd enjoyed it or what my plans to write about it had been

It's such fantastic news that poet, writer and journalist Amy Levy's archive has been acquired by Cambridge University Library @theul.bsky.social. I wrote about her time as a student at Newnham College Cambridge here: akennedysmith.substack.com/p/written-wi...

L’empathie est exactement le point. C’est en ce sens que nous parlons depuis des années avec @juliehaviland2.bsky.social de « désensibilisation » au sujet de la propagande antidémocratique. Elle vise, par des outils discursifs et sémantiques, à nous couper de l’empathie. Déshumaniser pour s’imposer.

"We're taking what little you saved from the fires when you fled for your lives, but also you can only stay a little while before we kick you back out again." -cunts on £90k a year whose second homes are subsidised by the taxpayer

BTW what is this "We're the best country in the world" bollocks? It sounds deranged and infantile and fatuous, and thoroughly un-British. Are the twats all gonna be wearing red baseball caps next?

Can't wait til there's an election and Labour can kick out these Tory bastards.

I've now heard from 3 authors targeted on X by a scammer impersonating Lois McMaster Bujold. Bujold impersonator refers author to "Eleanor Wood at Spectrum Literary", also an impersonation. Goal: to sell editing svcs. Scam is impersonating multiple authors & agents writerbeware.blog/2025/11/14/i...

The comments here that are questioning the history curriculum: WE LEARN THIS IN SCHOOL. I DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE MISS THIS.

press: so we heard you’re going to be stealing jewellery from immigrants and asylum seekers?! that sounds bad. labour: no, no, no. we’re being briefed against there. press: oh, phew. for a second labour were spunding a bit 1930s germany! labour: no no. we’re going to steal their assets.

they're up to something... 😱

My immediate response is, oh shit

Blimey. Must be too busy shitting on immigrants and people of colour.

Had a quick flick through the Mail and the Telegraph today. No articles on trans people.

He wants to cut jobs & courses at Edinburgh University, yet VC Peter Mathieson earns ~£418k a year, plus hefty perks ("I don't carry the figure around in my head") Contrast between widespread cuts for staff yet fat pay for VCs couldn’t be more stark www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/univ...

If "we're going to confiscate refugees jewellery" doesn't bring down this government, what will? Imagine being a Labour MP and not resigning the whip right now.

Me, teaching for the first time: I hope I don't get accused of being too familiar with the older students ... oh, wait, they're teenagers. I bet they smell just as terrible as they did when I was one, poor things. And I was right. They were terrible-smelling babies.

As an 18 year old going to school to be a teacher, I was - because I have anxiety, and catastrophize about things - worried about this kind of thing. How could I know how I would react? How could I be sure I would do the right thing? And then I did student teaching and went, "Oh. They're babies."

OMG what the hell. This is just cruel Jewelry often has a value beyond the practical, it's often a reminder of loved ones. Could this timeline be a little less reminiscent of 1930ies Germany?

Everything bearing Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's name on the Falkland Islands has been removed, including from public buildings. [Mirror exclusive]

The voters outside looked from Labour to Conservatives, and from Conservatives to Reform, and from Reform to Labour again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

I've come to the same conclusion, it's clear the Green party have organised a coordinated and sustained attack on Labour by forcing Labour to enact a bunch of bigoted policies that people hate. Zack Polanski is clearly a bastard man who must be stopped at all costs.

I am loathed to comment on another country’s proposed cruelty as my own government commits crimes against humanity on a regular basis, but I cannot imagine how stripping asylum seekers of their few precious belongings does anything but make cruelty a policy goal. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Last reskeet re genAI images/voices/etc. in games. It's a huge turnoff for me, too. I've been wanting to explore Where Winds Meet (new *free* ARPG just released) because it looks fantastic, the setting is intriguing and Wuxia fly-by-wire combat nonsense looks like so much fun BUT I read the other

Question for The Times. Given undocumented immigrants are being given hysterectomies and then deported by ICE when they complain would you still call Donald Trump a "feminist hero"? www.npr.org/2020/12/22/9...
