Footballers who pretend to be more hurt than they are should be forced to visit an 8 year old child who's dressed up as a doctor on the side of the pitch, and only be allowed to come back on when said child is bored of using their toy stethoscope and bandages on them.
Every single idiot talking down AI's capabilities, and whining about inconsequential things, and telling you it's a useless bubble, is stupider on this than Geoffrey Hinton, and enabling narcissistic billionaires risking all our lives. Listen to Geoffrey Hinton.

Lad's hungover. Popped the local for a couple last night with Brigitte after a long day, a couple turned into "fuck it", and them only leaving the pub when the landlord interrupted them singing to remind them they all had homes to go to.

International rules based order collapsing and its Macron giving a speech like this - inexplicably wearing sunglasses - that has truly sent me over the edge

The Beckham stuff in the news makes me profoundly icky. It's none of my business, it's gossip. No-one outside my family would ever hear me talk critically about them, and to hear people talking openly about the intimate family business of others ooks me out.

You know how the better you know a subject, the more you notice that the media that covers it is nonsense? Well with @joescott.bsky.social it's the opposite, which is why when I don't know about something, I take such joy in learning about it from him. Perfect video this:

Gosh, if only there were a constitutional mechanism for removing a president who is mentally ill and unfit to hold office.

I so love @realbaddiel.bsky.social Catman on @channel4.bsky.social. Those who have seen my Peggy threads might be surprised to know that I always thought of myself as a cat person. I can't overstate just how perfectly and absolutely I loved these girls. My beloved Star and Chalky.

Sums up how rubbish Badenoch is that she has been forced into a “You’re dumping me? I’m dumping you!” rather than just sacking and disbarring Jenrick over the many, many things that would have kept him out of any Tory Cabinet since 1968.

When the interior ministry declares its militia to be above the law in terms that equate dissent with treason there really isn’t any question of whether or not we are looking at an authoritarian regime.

What I don’t understand is how people looking over at the US could possibly be thinking “I want a piece of that” and be telling pollsters they’re voting reform. Surely no matter how “conservative” you are that looks like a Bad Vibe

It is weird the way that Americans try and win modern political arguments by bringing up the "Founding Fathers". It would be like me arguing the two child benefit cap was wrong because of something Thomas Pelham-Holles, 1st Duke of Newcastle, wrote in 1758.

It is a little insane that I've more bleddy followers on this place than Evan, honestly, he's one of this generation's greatest story tellers. I don't always agree with him, but every time he concludes with "this is Rare Earth" I have been made that little bit less stupid, and usually moved greatly.
