Wow, 26g of protein per 100g?? Now to quickly check how much protein is in standard cheddar real quick…
Babybel has rebranded from “upbeat bouncy red plastic cheese you buy to shut up children for five minutes” to “serious protein source for bro deadlift power up”. In this essay on what this says about our changing culture, I will…

You can see the hope die in Ow*n J*nes as he nods more and more vigorously
Zarah Sultana apparently wants to nationalise the entire economy including the Internet.

Scrolling through several hundred breathless posts on the BBC News live page to find out what Starmer says because the journalists are all too excited to get a chancellor resign for no reason other than their own ego
Keir Starmer has said a number of things in his speech today where you look at it and go 'uh, this is complete nonsense that isn't backed up by anything the government is *actually* doing'. All going essentially unscrutinised.

But is it, Chris? Is it your job, as a BBC News journalist, to make political calls on our behalf?

The public are sick of companies banging on about AI because it seems like a gimmick, but the public also don’t care if companies are using AI.
It’s the same way companies changed their names in the 00s to PRODUCT.CO.UK! and people thought it was passé and it changed back, but the internet stayed

my “AI is over” anecdote is that my wife was hired over the summer to write scripts for a big tech company explaining how to use their AI tools and after many rounds of revisions, the latest notes said “we’re finding a lot of AI fatigue among our users” and to remove all references to AI
Anecdotally on twitter seeing a big shift the last few days from every AI slop account saying every other creative field is “over” and they’re in control now to now posting about how nobody likes them and it’s not fair and they’ll persevere and real artists respect and uplift eachother

Alexander Skarsgård is such false advertising for the Swedes because they don’t all look like that
Now the Danes? The Danes do look like that and that’s why Copenhagen is my favourite city to visit

Social media is entirely to blame for this. They’re not trying to make art, they want another 15 seconds of amusement by ephemeral garbage they will never look at/listen to again before they move onto the next piece of ephemeral garbage

Can I be the 100th person to point out the Roman Empire was driven almost entirely by maintaining the free grain supply to Italy. It’s like one of the biggest things you should know about early Christian times

Maybe I’m just thick, but freezing tax thresholds doesn’t feel like a tax rise. Yeah as my pay goes up I go into a new tax band. That’s how it’s meant to work. I’m paying more tax but taking more home so that’s fine

Capping motability car values would probably have been more effective but enjoy not having any 3yo second hand German cars on the market anymore I guess
“The Motability scheme was set up to protect the most vulnerable. Not to subsidise the lease on a Mercedes Benz,” Reeves says.
Misleading and nasty in equal measure.
