Seen at least two posts this morning saying that taking the piss out of Epstein's email technique is mean to dyslexics.

Dotty the rat died last night.

get in, no time to explain

The day I can yell, "Where is my phone?" and it yells back, "Down here in the couch!" then it will truly be a smartphone.

Look, I know that fast fashion is terrible and I try to buy nothing new and repair what I have whenever possible. But my normal resistance to Temu ads is utterly undone by this objectively incredible item

Top stewing tonight 😋

Honestly, I'm about to waste a £60 ticket for the BRILLIANT French singer Zaho de Sagazan, from 7pm at the Palladium. Please can someone take it. I can't make it. She is amazing. I'm gutted.

Doofus

NOT an AI video of dog being twat 🤩

Someone is on their last life for reposting AI shit onto my timeline.

The difference in time between now and I can has cheezburger Is the same between I can has Cheezburger and the Berlin Wall falling

Right. Here's my big pitch: Muppet James Bond James Bond in…A Heart-Felt Goodbye Dominic Cooper as Bond Kermit M Frog Mrs Moneypiggy Beaker & Dr Bunsen HoneyQ The agents of G.O.N.Z.O. want to kidnap the world's chickens. MI5 has a mole (Rizzo the Rat). An agent is undercover as a chef in Sweden.

Bond: Vodka martini; shaken not stirred. Barman: P-p-p... Bond: Um. Please? Barman: That's better. Why shaken, by the way? Can you really taste the difference or is it just to create more work for me? Is this some manner sicko power thing? I bet you're sexually problematic. Bond: Stirred's fine.

I think there's an even better chance on Morgan McSweeney being a shareholder.

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut. Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect! 2nd century AD. Vatican Museums www.museivaticani.va/content/muse... #MosaicMonday #Archaeology

Just spent an enjoyable hour going over some science coursework with el kiddo, including adding some vinegar to bicarb to see the reaction. So, of course have had to order a key stage 3 science text book to secretly refresh the uni level education, which plainly was a complete waste of time.

Sometimes recently when I've just been contentedly pottering around my little home, listening to a good book with my kid crafting happily I've been struck with the thought that the mega rich never feel that simple joy. Contentment.

Boss went to Bristol over the weekend so he's been conversing in a Bristolian accent all day which is rather discombobulating.

I'm not taking any wannabe politican/concentration camp guard seriously until they start wearing a Ruff

I choose to believe that the famous foreign refugee Hercule Poirot and his sidekick Hastings are on The Case of the Russian Bribe Millions

Bluesky has just become an endless list of people loudly pontificating on what needs to be done, without specific instructions on what we as individuals can do to achieve it.

Did two lots of batch cooking over the weekend. But not the washing up.

Man on the DLR: Are you prepared for today’s meeting? Woman: No. Man: It’s at 9am. Woman: I know it’s at 9am, Dave. And I remain, unprepared.

Happy birthday to Sesame Street, which began exactly 56 years ago on the NET network. Possibly the most important programme ever created by American television. Such trippy pre-titles. It really is a product of the late sixties. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPMA...

Not that anyone will learn a single thing from this, but let it serve as yet another example of the futility of trying to appease right-wing extremists. No matter how much you try to meet them halfway, they will still paint you as insufficiently servile to their ideology.

If you are planning on spending the next four years telling me the rise of facism is my fault, just block me now and be done with it, because a) you aren't going to persaude me that way and b) I'm just going to call you a cunt at some point.

As a cis woman I’m actually super stoked to uncouple the concept of fecundity from the concept of cis woman & given that feminism has been trying to do this exact thing for decades (centuries?) it’s baffling to see ‘feminists’ being like ‘no ACKTUALLY women ARE defined by their ability to reproduce’

If only there was some profession dedicated to questioning government propaganda and holding politicians to account eh

White poppies were first produced in 1933 by the Co-operative Women's Guild, made up largely of women who had lost loved ones in World War One. They were worried by the growing militarisation of Remembrance events and what they saw as a detachment between the red poppy and the need to work for peace

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

Drax gets "more than £2m a DAY in green energy subsidies from UK bill payers" and is the UK's biggest carbon emitter! This is CRAZY www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Yeah, this is a tricky one. Hang on a sec. Messaging aside, maybe voters just don't *like* going to prison for peaceful protest? Or being pushed into poverty by continuing austerity measures targeting the most vulnerable in society while watching MPs line their own pockets with lobbying cash? 1/?

Come on. Remember fact checking?

'"The risk doesn't just come from what the chatbot says, it comes from what it feels like to talk to a chatbot". "It feels like you're talking to a person, & that's something that, in the tech world, has been known since the 1960s."' The issue - If something *sounds* human our response *is* human.

Fascinating investigation by National News: A long-time employee of the UK’s embassy in Tel Aviv owns property in a settlement considered illegal under international law in the occupied West Bank that was built by an organisation now sanctioned by the British government.

I realised this week that I have zero (0) trousers that fit me, courtesy of fitting massive babies through my hips, so. Where are the very short hourglass girlies buying trousers these days? UK only plz and ideally somewhere I can try on in person (hate online shopping)

Morrisons at Thornbury have more than one chiller section

People say this government is sloppy and inconsistent on messaging, and that's simply not true. They're tight as a drum on "Stupid kids need to stop hoping for any sort of future and resign themselves to cruelty and immiseration"

Feeling punk today

I grew up in poverty. I know what it does to you: the fear, the shame, the way it sticks to your bones for decades. I fought to escape & it still left scars. Now, in one of the richest countries on earth, millions more children are being pushed into the same struggle. Not by accident but by policy.

there is not. it is using a (highly complicated, multidimensional) statistical model to guess the next word in the chain that is ALL it is doing that is ALL it CAN do there is no difference between valid output and hallucination it can’t search its data, or demonstrate creativity or insight
