a year is a long time in politics

Mandelson ruining be gay do crimes for everyone

Slop will eat itself

with the arrest of peter mandleson please do remember that these are only, at this stage, allegations, and that the only evidence in the public domain that his is guilty is all those emails that were published that proved he did it

another day another super annoying guy declaring bluesky "dead" because he can't monetize his engagement metrics or whatever the fuck they all care about

Already today on Bluesky I have seen a pervy politician called Mayor Dingus and a college linebacker called Kyle Assmann who looks about 45 years old and it's true, you really can't tell what's real on this site anymore

Same energy

“I remember the first time I saw Andy…”

Andrew's completely broke which raises the possibility that a Norfolk duty solicitor is currently having the strangest day of his / her life.

The worst thing about being arrested on your birthday is it rules out the possibility of getting a cake with a file in it for another 364 days.

Ok I have far too much to do today to spend more than 2 minutes on this but here’s my political cartoon of the day, please enjoy

'Cybercab' sounds like shorthand for saying All Robocops Are Bastards

I imagine it was extremely disturbing

DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

I love that they had a dog in the playground at the Olympics

Keep your Glenn Close but your Miroslav Klose

Here it is, your moment of zen.

Struggling with feeling helpless? Want to fix something, but not sure where to start? Here's a thing you can do RIGHT NOW: Help me get the arts and crafts room up and running again at a shelter for women with mental health and substance-use diagnoses: www.thingstogetme.com/2169641a9c163

Staying with Sheffield, that city’s housing stock comprises 229,928 houses, on average costing £223,400 ($315,262). If, hypothetically, every single house in Sheffield went on sale at once, Jeff Bezos could afford to buy the lot for 2.4x their market rate.

hr: you need to be more respectful to your colleagues me: who reported me — horse teeth or the mouth breather?

Only one entity for the job

Give a man a phish he's lost his password. Teach a man to phish he has all the passwords.

I have no words to describe how I feel about people that steal dictionaries

Begging Sony to bring the Uncharted 1-3 Collection to Steam so that I can finally retire my PS4

Kind of astonished how well Mew-Genics is doing given that it's spent the last 15 years giving every indication of being vaporware and that at no point during that time did it ever sound like a game that anyone would want to play, but fair play to them

Not sure if the correct response to this sign is "Well that's told them!" or "That's reassuring and helpful to know", but either way I'm off for a dip, brb

Big respect to @todoist.com - got a receipt for $35 annual sub to their app that I bought in 2022 and then forgot about. Not only could I cancel in one click, but I got a full refund instead of being tied to another 12 months of a service I never use. Finally, an ADHD friendly cancellation policy!

Jim Ratcliffe looks like if Mandelson refused the interview so you paid a passing tramp £10 to pretend to be him for half an hour

...aaaaaaaaaand it's raining again. Ah well, nice to have a couple of hours off it.

sigh

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import

No defenestration of Starmer without prior cancellation of Streeting, please

I hope this Natural History Museum plushie is the first in a series of Pikachu fucking famous landmarks:

Bee Thousand isn't on Bee Thousand, and neither is Alien Lanes on Alien Lanes. They are both on The Grand Hour. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y9v...

he can't walk away from the country. He will need a boat or an aeroplane. #bbcverify

I have something I call The Harry Redknapp Rule, which goes thus: if someone is caught, by fluke, doing something wildly, intricately illegal - in Redknapp's case, placing dodgy cash in a Monaco bank account in his dog's name - then it is vanishingly unlikely that this is their first such crime.

Just Fancy That! Sam Altman on ads in ChatGPT. From the new Private Eye, out now.

All depends if they win a title, really. If they do, it'll be taken as definitive proof of timeless genius. If they don't, this era will be an easily glossed-over postscript to what's already an extraordinary legacy.

New livery in 'near-identical to old livery' shock, more as we get it

It's all kicking off in Greenock

It is frankly mental how many pies old Jeff had his fingers in

At least some good can come of this. This blandly malevolent homunculus must never attain the highest office

Made over £10 through this today which, to be entirely real, is much more money than I ever dreamed of making thru my music

Over the past two weeks I've begun to realize that rich people only started funding chatbots once they could no longer email Jeffrey Epstein

Not Slough, Doncaster. Not too southern, not too northern, best transport links in the country, easy for MPs wherever they're based to get to/from constituencies with minimum fuss

Okay but Zack Polanski has been coming out with bangers

I tend not to talk about it too much on main, but seeing as it's #BandcampFriday it would be remiss not to mention that you can digitally download the full catalogue of my ramshackle indie outfit @jadednoonwives.bsky.social (album + 6 non-album singles) for roughly the price of a decent pint.

Some world-class malicious compliance going on in the Epstein redaction team
