One of the earliest PC games I played as a kid. Later, as a teen, I played Half Life 2 on Ubuntu as practically only Valve's games worked on Linux. Fast forward to today and because of Valve, I'm playing almost my entire library on Linux.
Half-Life is now 27 years old - released November 19th 1998

I have a new career goal. To find somewhere where I never have to use Windows ever again. Since I can now game on Linux, I have no use for this shitty spyware & bloatware-ridden cesspit of an OS. Except for at work. So fuck my work. Fuck Windows

I would like to note very strongly that it is not immigration causing the housing crisis but the right wing politics of both Labour and Conservatives. Reform will not change course and will enthusiastically continue it.
Thatcherism and its successor, Blairism, are ideologies of private capital interests and not "fiscal responsibility". They rob the public sector in favour of the rich. It's a mass hand off of assets and wealth that benefit all to those who already have too much.

People are going to say, "the new party will split the Labour vote" or "you're going to make reform win".
This is bullshit.
Starmer is late to the game. We've already seen what the centre rights failures and capitulations to the far right achieve. We've already seen AfD and RN rise before Reform

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov *fucked him over* personally with his socio-economic theory.

New paper is out! With G. Finauri, P. Gambino, M. Jung and S. Mächler we performed a first-of-its-kind test of New Physics in inclusive B->Xclv decays. This work is crucial to understand whether or not the Vcb puzzle originates from beyond the Standard Model effects! arxiv.org/abs/2507.22123
New Physics in inclusive semileptonic $B$ decays
We study inclusive semileptonic $\bar{B}\to X_c \ell \barν$ decays ($\ell = e,μ$) in the presence of generic physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) that is heavy compared to the $b$-quark mass. Its e...

So the UK gov is using recognition of Palestinian Statehood as a threat to get Israel to lessen it's genocide?
Recognition should be a given. Not a bloody bargaining chip with a genocidal state.

Honestly I'm waiting for Labour to fracture. So if there's anyone left in there with a conscience, they can walk out and make history. The rest can enjoy being a ConDem parody act and get in the bin.

I'll never forget the society I chaired at the University of Birmingham got derecognised by the students union because we pointed out that a leading Zionist at the uni was publicly laughing at memes of Palestinian women and children being shot. Apparently pointing out such cruelty was harassment..

Improved measurement of η/η′ mixing in B⁰ and Bs⁰→J/ψη⁽'⁾decays arxiv.org/abs/2507.13914 - The angle ϕG differs from zero by more than four standard deviations, which points to a substantial glueball component and/or unexpectedly large contributions from gluon-mediated processes in these decays.

The government will do a bunch of pointless things with water but won't do the only thing that makes sense. Nationalise these failing water companies.

They're lying to you when they say a wealth tax won't work.
They think taking money from our services, from our most vulnerable, is the only thing that 'works'. But works for who? It's not working for any of us. It's not working for the economy as a whole. It only works for the rich and powerful.

I know how Labour could make up the funding gap they're stuck with. Go into their old manifesto for 2019 and take a look at those tax plans. Considering how much richer the rich are since 2019, there's quite a lot more to gain.

We're now at the point where the BBC will, in official statements, conflate opposition to the IDF with antisemitism.
It is antisemitic to conflate those of us with Jewish ethnicity or faith, with a criminal military that is rightfully condemned by many of us on the ground.
It frightens me...
