Doesn’t feel good that the head of BBC News Content is instructing reporters to refer to trans people with slurs. If this leak is real it raises questions about who made this decision, who was consulted, and why the BBC chose to ignore its own editorial guidelines on slurs and offensive language

Well worth 17 minutes of your time. Don't judge the phrase "searching's next step" against the obvious recent enshittification of search before you watch. "ChatBots Explained: Not Conscious, No Revolution — Just Searching's Next Step"

Quoth the raven, "Boop boop! MWAH!"

I’m a single issue voter and my issue is that those busses that bend in the middle should make accordion noises

Governments do what they are *told* to do by the capitalist lobby.

When 97% is 'no clear consensus', and 52% is 'the will of the people', it's time to face facts that Governments do what Governments want to do regardless of what their people actually want.

"..the hundreds of corporate lobbyists who are Labour MPs." It's the first time I've seen the truth about this government stated so plainly. It's over now for blue Labour. And we are now on course for a 2029 contest between the Greens and a Limited Company led by an outed Russian asset. Bring it on.

I’ve been seeing this cover over and over and I just… In the original you’re aware of the horror of falling, but the body positions of the workers are solid on the beam. Here, most of them should be falling off, yet they don’t, because they live in an unreal, consequence-free space.

So sorry to hear this. What a sad moment for the BBC, and what a loss for all the listeners. Thank you for the amazing work you have done and for being an example for all of us by living and speaking with integrity and honor.

They could never pay me enough to touch this transphobic horse shit.

Fuck the BBC (again)

Reaction videos are generally the weakest form of content but this is great. El Estepario Siberiano reacting to Danny Carey's Pneuma drum cam. "Legend has it he made a deal with the Devil and, to this day we don't know what Danny got but the Devil... he got drumming lessons."

Nothing says "smash the political establishment" quite like begging the Prime Minister to put your mates in the unelected House of Lords.

I do kinda want Altman to be the first to go down, ngl. Musk wears his cunt on his sleeve but this motherfucker's faux sincerity really gets under my skin. Baby-faced twat.

So after quitting #EliteDangerous for two years due to exploration burn-out, the only sensible way forward seems to be to sign up for #DW3.

Starmer calls for curbs to human rights to prevent the far right curbing human rights.

Seeking asylum is not illegal. People entering the country by irregular means without any other option are not breaking the law. The Govenrment should be showing humanity not further brutality

This is the most interesting video I've watched for a long time. Incredible interview of Cory Doctorow for @politicsjoe.bsky.social #Enshitification

This is a lot to unpack, but the wildest part is he’s describing the checks-and-balances system (50 states, regulatory processes) as if it’s an obstacle instead of the entire point of constitutional design. He’s admitting he’s a dictator. The party of states rights really hates states rights

My triumphant return to Jameson's after about 2 years burnt out and sulking at the other side of the galaxy, refusing to play. #EliteDangerous #VR #EDVR

Can’t someone PLEASE just buy Oculus back? The Quest 3 is fantastic and it will be a shame to see it go down with this ship.

So my kids were at school while Covid was wrecking the classroom and examinations and now (despite the former) they are at Uni as AI destroys that too. Super.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

@lutzie.bsky.social have you got your Caspian Explorer yet? I think you said you were getting one.

Get a load of this. 😆

I've no idea if the Greens can keep this momentum until the next GE or whether they can convert polls to votes or what chaos FPTP will make of it all or of they can even avoid panicking the markets and Trussing up the economy but I tell you what: right now? Thank fuck for Zack.

And they say the Right can't do satire

Yeah, well, the British public voted for Brexit, so...

Was reminded of my very favorite tweet of all time today:

😳

Apparently I have enough #EliteDangerous Arx to buy a fully kitted Mandalay when I get back to civilisation (probably Colonia). Hurray for surprise space pounds! I know that Caspian thing is out today but it's not calling to me like the Mandalay is.

#EliteDangerous in #VR is pretty special. I'm dipping back in after a (very) long hiatus resulting from an ill-advised expedition that sees me returning from the other side of the galaxy. Still about 50 kly from the bubble. It's the first time I've really tried it in VR and oh, as they say, em gee.

This is incredible
