It's been a long wait, but it's finally arrived today! Looking forward to digging into it all over again. Shame I'm busy for a few days though.

Every Star Trek series gets progressively worse because they keep forgetting the core premise of the franchise. It's supposed to be a utopian future based around science and exploration, not some gritty action thriller.

If I won an amount that gave me just a bit more money than I actually needed to live on, I'd pay someone to put the duvet in the duvet cover rather than have to ever do this fucking annoying core myself again

I see the police are reminding us just what happens when you bring in poorly written and unnecessarily broad legislation in. Stopping projections and advertising vans. What a joke.

It’s the same story with Neil Oliver‘s history show being criticised by academic historians. Laurence Fox’s acting work drying up. Russell Brand’s mainstream work stopping. We need a job creation scheme for B-list midlife celebrities to keep them seeking attention on the internet.

UK’s Online Safety Act is putting YOUR privacy at risk. Uploading ID or scanning your face to access gaming or messaging? It won’t stop harm - it creates new risks of identity theft, surveillance & weaker encryption. @eff.org + @openrightsgroup.bsky.social need to keep holding UK gov accountable.
