EXTREMELY NORMAL GUY COMING UP WITH THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF HOW YOU COULD USE HIS NEW TECHNOLOGY: you could watch yourself fuck a dead woman

Losing it

Fuck you @nytimes.com

This has fast become one of my favourite new YouTube channels. No talking skate progress in snowy urban decay spots, interspersed with scenic wildlife and b-roll. Super minimal but so compelling youtu.be/WBBC-5RJjNo?...

I've just had to apply for benefits to cover a 3.5 month period where I can't work due to having major heart surgery + recovery, and aside from the amount of financial help being pathetically small, I've already been sanctioned and lost ~30% of that for something I didn't do. "Too easy" my arse

maybe a hot take? not only is ziggy sobotka a great character and a great performance (RIP james ransone), but looking back from the vantage point of today, "young man struggling with his masculinity and yearning to be recognized as a man commits catastrophic violence" is incredibly prescient.

The new excuse for why so many MPs smell of alcohol is they have no agency or involvement in passing legislation and aren’t actually representing their constituencies, but rather rubber-stamping whatever the party whips tell them to. That doesn’t explain why they drink on the job, also this is worse

lmao

Just ten more days until UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer is allowed to resign in disgrace. No, it's not the nonce friendly plum jobs, not cratering their support through nearly two years of feckless fash pandering, not the charisma of a dead budgie. It'll be destroying Labour in the locals. Lol.

found a whole operation of unmanned youtube channels making completely unchecked long form slop videos where the ai voice simulacra regularly trips up & does this for a full ten minutes every time. all the very legit comments are like "NO! THATS NOT TRUE! YOU LIE HE DID NOT" & never acknowledge it.

Yes Google I am not interested in your AI generated news slop gtfo with all that

kfc in my small town has started halving their chicken breasts and selling it as a 2-piece. Multiple people have brought this up to me in the past week. It is quite literally the talk of the town. Someone called into the radio station about it and said it should be burned down with the owner inside

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

Them: "think of the children!!!!" Me: omg yes you are so right. we should abolish child prisons, stop funding militaries that slaughter children, ensure every child has access to medical care and healthy food, provide mental health counselors in schoo-- Them: NO WE MEAN CENSOR THE INTERNET!!!

Can’t remember the tweet exactly but there was a great one about Corbyn playing “cunt chicken“ where he would try and find the most normal thing to publicly support and see who in the media would try and oppose it. It really is hilarious to watch the exact same tactics being rolled out again

next you will be saying MPs shouldn't be on cocaine all the time. student politics.

Lol no it isn't normal to stink of alcohol at work. You only think it is if you're a member of the media/banking/political class, who as a rule have a lot of boozy lunches in London bars and restaurants that other people pay for.

This is indeed the curse of history. I know two people who were there last night, sitting a couple tables apart; I woke up to two versions of events described live and authentically. Eyewitness is one of the most fallible sources.

we started with the simple goal of monitoring everyone all the time and somewhere along the way it turned bad

we're still not angry enough. to think how our government is right now treating the activists fighting the UKs role in this

The pope at times shares views that experts say echo Catholicism.

“If you ask tobacco companies to help write your school’s policy on cigarettes…you’re going to end up with guidance on how to smoke responsibly in school.”

I watched someone crow about using an LLM to create a chart, then when everyone asked clarifying questions about said chart admitted an LLM produced it and it was inaccurate. The data was taken from an Excel spreadsheet. There's literally a button and your chart will be accurate. What are we doing?!

This debate is apparently still going on, with AI boosters demanding to know how an average person could traverse the obstacle course that is mail merge without the aid of chatgpt, to which my thoughts are 1) mail merge isn't that hard to figure out, and 2) just click the help button.

ADOBE: welcome to photoshop. what would you like to do. here is an AI tool ME: i would like to draw a rectangle. i am selecting the rectangle tool ADOBE: did you say AI? ME: rectangle please ADOBE: sorry but i can only do that in an insane way now. here is a new layer and a vector for some reason

“It’s clear that AI companies’ initial promise to America — that first it would take their job, and eventually it might kill them — has not inspired a groundswell of public support.”

Hey real quick what happened to the left after they trusted those centrists

It's easy to succumb to outrage fatigue. But this was four days ago. 2,000 killed. 1.2 million displaced. Entire villages demolished. A 40km 'buffer zone' (10% of Lebanon's territory) annexed. It's barely raised a resigned shrug, but it meets the criteria for war crime. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

They literally had to go through several iterations of test design before they successfully invented one where women didn’t persistently outperform men.

Screaming hot take: It’s entirely possible that Somalis test out on standard IQ tests with a lower mean than western people (100), because IQ is meaningless racist, sexist, colonial, eugenicist bullshit designed to produce exactly such a result. IQ is bollocks. Utter, total bollocks.

I reckon we'll see a prominent UK politician use the term "calling balls and strikes" within 6 months. My money's on Farage or Badenoch but wouldn't be surprised to hear it from Starmer or Streeting either. USA politico brainrot here is very real

People love to quote Mike Tyson saying everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face, but sometimes they don't, some people never have a plan and they deserve representation too

There is now nearly five decades of evidence of Israel trying to destroy the land on the Lebanese side of the border as part of its attempt to create a so-called buffer zone. Lebanese researchers have been documenting this since the 1978 invasion. www.aljazeera.com/features/lon...

Watching Palantir do Sephiroth posting about multiculturalism and I would like to remind everyone that they were doing corporate fake woke shit just like every other company.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)

"The world is an increasingly dangerous place and I am a sensible, forensic manager who is constantly lied to and bamboozled by my underlings" is a powerful message for the local elections

there's not a lot to like about Labour but I will admit I'm a huge fan of them cosplaying as Serious Adults who make tough decisions based on evidence and data while simultaneously being incredibly unobservant and incurious to anything going on in their own offices

HOW ARE THEY GOING TO MAKE NEW JOBS, LIZ? DID YOU ASK THEM THAT? DID ANYONE ASK THAT?

Not once in the 80s, 90s or 00s do I recall a politician urging the public to embrace email, mobile phones, texting, two factor authentication, online banking, air fryers, or to replace all their cassette collection with a CD collection. So forgive me if I smell a rat.

The fact that "being taxed on a wealth that would take most people dozens of generations to gather" is "the scariest thing she's ever seen" means the world isn't scaring millionaires and billionaires nearly enough yet.

"bsky users blame every problem on vibe coding" yeah, dude. if you got a dog to code this website i wouldn't be wasting time asking which of you was the source of each new bug

hahahahahahahahah

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

Yeah, Mackenzie Scott is a fascinating case. She is literally ignoring the SOPs of philanthropy in order to give away wealth as quickly and efficiently as possible and she’s still getting richer. At her level it is impossible not to make money. Tax billionaires, A LOT.

look its easy the court case about a thing thats never happened (trans women on all women shortlists) made the decision that because i can't get pregnant it should be illegal for hospitals to protect me from sexual violence. what don't you get
