Wait what, you can see who's subscribed to blocklists on Clearsky now? Cool cool cool. Coooooooooooooooooool. No abuse potential here, none at all.

I listened to this more than a year ago and it's brilliant, and more relevant than ever. One of the few consistent features Farage's rhetoric is his long-standing support for Russian strategic interests.

oh you’re a nihilist? name zero things that matter

Yes, but... When a translation wins an award, with few notable exceptions (Hey Eisners!), the translator is not included in the nomination, the listing, or even acknowledged as winning the award. They get no trophy. This is a HUGE problem. Awards NEED to acknowledge the translator.

Really odd how GB News, the Daily Mail and Telegraph aren't covering the thwarting of a terrorist plot to attack synagogues in the UK by a group that had amassed a horde of 200 weapons. Wonder what's different about this group? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Apart from anything else, we're led to believe his dad - the finance director of a large company - took him to the away end at Villa Park and despite being no more than eight years old (born 1982), he had an understanding of the chants, the gestures & how the games were policed. Righto, Bob.

💥WIN: Victory in landmark case on gender recognition Am so proud to have worked on this case, and to work for an org which fights for - and successfully defends - trans rights. "A huge victory for trans people’s human rights in this country, at a moment where things have felt particularly dark."

Farage again blames “the endless eastward expansion of NATO” for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Even when he’s playacting at being tough on Putin, he can’t resist repeating Kremlin talking points.

Israel’s football authorities have consistently failed to tackle the issue of behaviour on the terraces because the targets for chants etc are Arabs. The racism is in that sense institutionalised. That has consequences

J. D. VANCE: We need to end DEI. MONKEY’S PAW: (raises one finger)

Well, I’ve got some great news. Oracle is building eight buildings (which is considered one data center) full of the GB200 for OpenAI, and the GB200 has negative 100% margins. Oracle is charging $300 billion to OpenAI and this is maybe 30% of that contract. According to Oracle this is good!

Aside from negating the point of elections, opinion polls can be wrong! What if a pollster, let’s call them PollingPeople, consistently showed big vote shares for Nigel Farage but Reform’s true support is actually much lower?

Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti assaulted by Israeli prison guards, son says

"Look, how about we let you fuck it?" pleaded Altman. "Normally they don't even let me fuck the AI but like, what if we let you fuck the AI? Would you pay monthly for it then?"

Lead poisoning would explain a lot about the Roganverse...

Tell me you're desperate for revenue without telling me. Seriously, imagine your elevator pitch is "we offer an AI that revolutionizes the enterprise, answers questions at a PhD level, and also talks dirty to horny young men." It would be like if PornHub was selling a productivity suite.

Jesus christ. AI coding platform Augment code had to jack up prices because 22.5% of their users were spending 20x of what they paid, and even after raising the prices, they're still running at a loss. reddit.com/r/AugmentCod...

Who could have foreseen- oh. Oh that’s right. Literally everyone.

🚨This is an emergency🚨 This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life. Use our tool to email your MP: tinyurl.com/scrap-the-bathroom-ban @transsolidarity.bsky.social #ScrapTheBathroomBan

Tbf mass lead poisoning of young men might explain *quite a lot* of what’s been happening in recent years.

I've always said this, but since last November, I've been pointing this out frequently in whatever venues to whatever audiences I can: "The planet NASA studies most is Earth."

You're living through one of the biggest technological transformations in world history and it has nothing to do with AI

The government’s restrictions on immigration will turn this around any day now.

Incredible admission from Meta: “People already expect us to be nefarious pricks, so nefarious prickery seems the way forward.”

Yeah, this is sadly very naive. They've already done it to trans rights (which let them undermine basic principles of bodily autonomy) and made strides on anti-abortion rights - their "free speech protesters" outside abortion clinics regularly get to launder their views via the TV and print media

Her: I'm about to come - Me, reading a screen over her shoulder: That's great news! Orgasms promote cardiovascular health and have a positive effect on mental health and well-being too. Would you like me to formulate a list of the physical and emotional benefits?

They always start with free speech. It sounds reasonable, doesn’t it? Free speech? And they can use it to shut down anyone who criticises them, because it’s all “free speech” After “free speech” it’s “protecting women and girls” And then it’s whatever they actually wanted.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage. Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech" www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/w...

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

Um. There’s a woman presenting this too.

What in the name of ChatGPT is this opening sentence from Liz Kendall?

the disastrous refusal of the self-styled silicon valley technokings to keep anyone in their lives capable of questioning their increasingly incomprehensible politics has lead to a crisis of thinking so severe that a fifty-eight year old man believes something is important because he knows about it

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

You see this (unsurprisingly) a lot in the tech space - in particular the view that something must be inevitable if you put enough work into the “prerequisite”. Eg: if we pour enough resources into developing LLMs, we will surely eventually create AGI.

Starting to think this Thiel guy is a big idiot

If the AI bubble does burst, the techbros may come to regret their recent political positioning...

I love this ad, but I also need to point out how sad it is that it's the pretty much the only time any Democrat with national visibility has used their platform to issue a full-throated defense of trans people at all, let alone a concrete campaign promise for trans rights.

Still half thinking about the facehugger size issue. How did it evolve to be human head sized? Who was it feeding on originally? (Obviously they just didn't consider it in the film design and it's a macguffin, but it's a nice thing to mull)

something quite brain-melting about the hard right's position apparently now being "we hate all Muslims and distrust Muslim states, aside from that one Muslim place that still has slavery because that sounds fun"
