Now is the time for Labour, Lib Dems, Tories, and Greens to all get behind Count Binface. Do it.

He's clearly rattled by that Sunday Times investigation — you know the Sunday Times, that really woke newspaper staffed by bra-burning communists — which makes me think that there are more frogs to come out of the box.

Funny how things work out sometimes. Anyone remember ITV Digital? www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I'm pretty ambivalent about football and don't find countryism funny, but I am prepared to make exceptions.

Every hometown's got an ominous megastructure, what's yours?

Think about how many more drones they could afford if they also scrapped Digital ID (which nobody wants or voted for) www.theregister.com/on-prem/2026...

This government is really effective at finding new ways to stamp on the fingers of the already vulnerable.

Brad Fiedel didn't make a mistake when writing The Terminator main theme, unintentionally creating not just an all-time great movie theme, but also an all-time great in a time signature he himself wasn't aware of until years later, just so you could tell me AI was "inevitable"

Hello! I’m looking to interview a trans woman on her experiences of suburbia for my next piece of writing. If you think you could help please get in touch, thank you x

Shout out to the cunts that run Asda delivery. Buy vans with aircon you cunts. Just spoke to a driver on our road, none of their vans have aircon and two lads have got heatstroke yesterday. Absolutely Victorian business practices. I didn't even think you could buy them without it these days.

The aircon discourse reminded me to look up solar panel install costs, which are on avg. £6k according to the Energy Saving Trust. Meanwhile, last month 12.4% of the UK's energy was generated via PVs, which take up around 0.1% of landmass. Subsidise 👏 This 👏 Now 👏 www.neso.energy/energy-101/g...

All of this 'why don't brits get window AC' stuff reminds me of when non brits have to draw comics set in the UK and always make the buildings too tall, the rooms too big, the streets too wide, the pubs like bars and the dimensions of the built environment all wrong. Not everywhere is the same place

Really don't want to be on the swelter skelter any more.

i truly cannot grasp the minds of people who watch film or tv adaptations of books they like just hoping to see the page rendered exactly on the screen. a completely alien way of moving through the world

When you're richer than Croesus, there's never any pushback on your deranged brainfarts, example no. 69,105.

This is great, but it'd be nice if we could vote for political representatives in a similar way.

Anyone who markets a 'dark IPA' or 'session ale' that has an ABV higher than 5% (or any other kind of oxymoronic beer) shall be taken henceforth to a place of execution, where they will be drowned in a butt of malmsey.

WSJ reported in 2024 that Amazon spent $25bn over four years keeping Alexa running. Amazon has a pair of golden geese in the form of retail and AWS, and can therefore keep its parrot running at a loss for a while. OpenAI doesn't.

Incredible return serve.

Let's hope that he continues to emulate the King in the North to a tee.

Highbrow discussion here

I've tested enough devices and services to say that blocking access to certain sites, whether at a device level, network level or domain level, is a piece of cake. You can learn everything you need to know about making your home network 'age appropriate' (for lack of a better phrase) in an hour.

🧵It feels hollow wishing people a happy Pride month but I hope people still find some joy from it. Would be allies could spend this month particularly focussed on actions to help. Let’s start with sharing and signing petition for enquiry on something petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

The infrastructure of influence is not built on persuasion alone but on attention, amplification, and incentives. In the paid influencer Pro-Trump networks, every audience becomes a resource to be harvested and manipulated. Before engaging, ask whether you are challenging power or feeding it.

Both threads here make for incredible, infuriating reading. No wonder development in the UK moves at wet fuse pace.

Thanks Mr Blair but a baselessly confident 6,000 word diatribe telling the UK to move right on every issue while embracing Trump and Silicon Valley wasn't even that cute all those times Dominic Cummings wrote it.

I have for years been saying that Mumsnet is a greater threat to civil discourse than 4chan ever could be. Starmer wants to ban social media for kids, why not ban brain-cooked adults from the entire digital sphere?

SNL UK has been great, especially Weekend Update, but I don't understand why they decided to flood Belgium

Chasing all those Reform voters worked well huh.

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

My neighbor told me storage bins keep solving his household clutter so I asked how much clutter he has and he said he just goes to the store and buys more clutter afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding clutter to storage bins and then his daughter started crying.

Please help me to eat and continue remaining housed, I’m booked into a hotel for three days but that’s it and out of food.

It's basically an abstract principle, not a concrete one for me: if one is treating society as a thing that is mainly just there to give you nice treats, and anyone who asks you to contribute to it should be levying that question at someone else, then you are a dick.

A shocking new investigation by Index reveals that Emily (not her real name), a school librarian in Greater Manchester, faced disciplinary action after stocking the book Men Who Hate Women. Nearly 200 books were targeted. 1/4 By @katiedd.bsky.social
