The AI evangelists want us all to conveniently forget that they were all telling us we had to buy bored apes or we would be left out of the Economy Of The Future four years ago.

The thing to remember about Suella Braverman is that not only is she nasty, untrustworthy, and full of hate and anger, but she's also abominably stupid.

We did predict it. And we were called alarmist.

At some point enough once-in-power Tories will move over to Reform for it to be renamed to The Bloody Same, right?

James O'Keefe says he's never seen anything so organized as the anti-ICE movement, observers--he seems to think this term is code--everywhere he goes. Who is paying for it??? he demands to know. It's like he can't even imagine people caring for one another.

The BBC is lost
7yo gave me an unpleasant shock y’day by chiming in on Greenland saying “Donald Trump didn’t actually use violence and he only wants to protect it from Russia & China” - after I’d calmed down I tried to work out where he’s been hearing this bullshit. Turns out it’s bloody BBC Newsround!

Democracy is alive and kicking in the UK I see.
BBC News, "The Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham has been blocked from standing in the forthcoming parliamentary by-election in Gorton and Denton"

"Prime Minister Keir Starmer was amongst those who voted to block him standing"

Keir Starmer is a coward

Trump one week ago: "It's a good thing for him [Carney] to sign a trade deal. If he can get a deal with China, he should do that."

Trump today: "If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A."

Poignant, lovely thread.
A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.

A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.

The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights

Thinking about how bsky has the most horrible setting turned on by default that says "i don't want to see any other languages except English" and if no one tells you to put it on "no selection" you straight up won't see posts from people set to different languages on your TL.
