Yep. Although he holds out hope he could bring down a murderous regime by being unflinchingly servile to them.

Oh yeah Fallon, professional chefs can always just duck out of the kitchen during a service before the cover gets there. You don’t need a handover.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

Calling someone a cunt and then blocking them is cheap behaviour but I would particularly like this cunt to go fuck himself before I block him.

The Manchester synagogue attack is a story of mass immigration and multiculturalism. We must bring an end to both.

Anyway, in case you missed it, some wondering from me about whether Kemi Badenoch has ever actually read Terry Pratchett

Has Kemi Badenoch actually read Terry Pratchett?

She claims he’s her favourite author, but his books have a few lessons for her

How is somebody who’s been an activist for so longs so bad at activism?
Honestly, I reckon the mines might have stayed open if he hadn’t got involved.

Chris Boyd @paperghost.bsky.social • 11h while i appreciate someone trying to do something, if my non-white wife sees a lamp post or something else with a bunch of flag stickers on it, or (worse) flags *and* stickers, she's going to head in the opposite direction at the speed of light

Then the stickers will send a message to white English people who are appalled by the way the flags make your wife feel that they are not alone in opposing the racists

Of course, and that's their opinion. I see it a different way.

And, TBF, a Labour one at the moment. Oh… and the Lib Dems, they loved curbing it.

Nick @checkyoursheds.bsky.social · 13h

Exactly. Only an inhuman Tory monster would want to curb that.

Most of the people I met at university were not doggedly pursuing knowledge, they were doing a bare minimum of work while partying, until six weeks from the end of the third year.

I’m particularly fond of the TD2. Mine has had far too much money spent on it. You can pick them up properly cheap now, which you should. Even if you don’t want to.
The boxes are pretty popular too.

Maligned, misunderstood, marvellous!
The Tamiya TD buggies get a bit of flack, partly down to the names they had bestowed on them, but they’re great. Really planted and easy to drive, they’re pretty flattering of a novice.
