The new Flake adverts aren't as sexy as the old ones. And what have they done to the packaging!

I've made this same case years ago when debunking the Apollo Hoax clowns. They're dipped up to their ears, but other people are listening.

All while Watt (and others) are off making headlines for being spectacularly shit bosses and STILL trying to make themselves cheeky-Scottish-chappy TV and internet stars. You're meant to be running a company in a constricting market, lads. You're not the product. The beer is. /5

hi hi! reposting this to say that I currently have extremely little planned for March so do please get in touch if you'd like to commission me for.....something? or even just have a chat about commissions in general - keen to get out of my routine a bit this year and work on new things!

If this whole bit from Truss for the last decade has just been so she could eventually shake hands with Trump and dust off some of that Queen Liz-killing stuff on to him then honestly we are going to have to do a lot of apologising.

This duet cover of Radiohead's "Creep", between a son and his Shastriya Sangeet classically trained mother, is the mash-up I didn't know how much I needed in my life. Totally spontaneous sobbing may have taken place. www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZoH...

Something unexpectedly beautiful. And why am I crying as well?!?

Relax your toes. You probably don't think you need to, but you do. Done it? Okay now take a slow, deep breath. Breathe out. Now relax your toes again. Because they still aren't relaxed. (Best single universally applicable piece of advice anyone ever gave me. It was from an astronaut)

“what cool shit can I do as Mayor? oh, I can marry people? awesome, let’s do it” once again the constant theme of “New York is great, New Yorkers are great, isn’t this great?” comes through

Outrageous finish on the top of the mighty Montagne de Lure today at the Tour de La Provence.

This is the first Valentine’s in such a very long time that I’ve had a lovely someone. I was on my own for most of my life. So for any gushing I might do, I just want to say - I feel you, if you are single & bereft, or sad, lonely, or despairing. And I wish you a lovely day. Treat yourself xXx

Post a tree you photographed:

The rich do none of the work, pay none of the tax, and make all of the money. The middle classes all of the work, pay all of the tax, and tread water until death. The poor are kept just poor enough to make sure the middle classes keep showing up to work.

What celebrity is most associated with your favourite security question?

What a powerful, courageous message. “I said to myself that fighting against that on an individual level was also fighting for the collective. I said if I could do it, other people could too … My message of hope to all victims is never have shame.”

Even the third Terminator movie understood that being a coward in your storytelling is not the same as hope

Watching the Winter Olympics and remembering something Ahir Shah told me once. Posh people do dangerous sports, like skiing, because if they break a leg and have to spend weeks in bed off work, they don’t stop earning. Think it might be as good a class test as what you call your settee.

When you’ve been rained on for the 38th day in succession…

Read this thread, and respond - you only have a short time. I find these proposals inhumane, unjustifiable and sickening. If you have an ounce of decency, you probably will too. So tell the govt, asap. www.gov.uk/government/c...

did dinosaurs have a periphery from which they extracted resources and a metropole they funneled them into? No? Not much of an empire then, is it

Bravo Belgium in the 1000m speed skating! I love a surprise finalist team! #winterolympics

I am such a sucker for "animal ends up on the court/track/field/pitch"

every single person writing credulously about "elon will put people on the moon" should have to pin this post to their monitor

I will be enjoying the Winter Olympics for the next two weeks, and already identify with the German lad in the Big Air qualifiers. I would have been clinging onto the side for dear life as well.

If you actually want to art, you will art. If you don’t thats fine but dont expect you are owed anything those who do art get

I missed the ‘talent is gatekeeping’ thread, but here is my crap art, which I believe is better than the best AI. And I like to think that I’m getting better at it, because, you know, I practice. So AI ‘artists’ don’t be so bloody idle, or at least be honest admit that you are.

she's one-upped Michael Caine, she got to sing with Kermit the Frog AND Miss Piggy

Now here’s a great idea when talking to to an AI chatbot - flatter its use of maths then persuade it to give you an 80% discount!

South Londoners - this is a terribly sad, but important moment. I'll be in attendance.

there's a rat the size of a kitten back there Kemi, have you considered cleaning house? No I mean literally

'He lied to us' isn't really adequate since it suggests the extent of the vetting was asking him a couple of questions and him telling you he was a good boy. Did you, you know, actually do any investigation into whether the guy who'd been binned for corruption before, might be fibbing this time?

Horrific though the pedophillia is, Epstein is ALL about corruption. Sex was a currency to him and Epstein’s ‘talent’ was identifying each person’s currency to move that corruption along. Mandelson’s currency was power and influence.

But there’s joy, as well. The delight of remembering an old friend, laughter welling up through frozen ground. We don’t choose when to see our ghosts, but we can choose what paths to walk. A blessed Imbolc, friends.

Here’s the thing. I believe in judging people for their actions and beliefs, things that they have control over- not their bodies, their place of birth, academic ability, or gender or sexuality. I believe this of people I both agree and disagree with, people I love and people I hate.

I imagine this is The Empire Strikes Back in The Night Manager trilogy, so the final downfall will be thick, brutal, and fast, and probably on yet another continent #TheNightManager

The lesson to be learned from the Melania film is to never release a movie during Dry January when your only chance to get some good reviews was to fill the cinema with drunk journalists.

... because the US subsidiary did business with ICE and it's abundantly obvious from the statement that the European business *didn't know.*

Happy Birthday @sturdyalex.bsky.social !

Do I use Claude Code to write tests, explore prototypes, do chores? Yes. Do I let it write code unsupervised and check it in? Hell fucking no.

How I miss Daft Punk

Happily drawing Valentine doodles on my orders - thanks guys. Be worth a fortune when I’m (in)famous #envelopedoodles

Oh! And if you wanna go true incognito Valentine style, and then I can doodle on your crush/beloved’s envelope and sign you as “?” - just put their Address and your message in the notes and I’ll do a Write and Send service - analogue style :) linktr.ee/Dippyfishcards Yes. I am giddy #bsnm #mhhsbd
