Fabulous figs, frightening foie gras, flattering liars! An ancient food thread that has it all; (If you're sensitive to animal cruelty, then be forewarned!)
In the name of Hades, what do you mean Thomas? What connects these seemingly very different things -namely figs and liver- together?

52 officers vs a household of innocent people AND THEIR DOGS is absurd state oppression & overreach & should never have happened. i used to live somewhere like this- it will have been devastating to people just coming & going to work, resting between shifts- taking out a whole support network. grim

A cheese named for a hero's faithful swineherd, and a company called a poem—what a sweet and curious commerce, to trade in such storied milk.

for 30k I can make *two* feature films, with, you know, humans
AI filmmaking is completely unserious.

You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.

Until the 2010s, new tech seemed to be about enabling humans: ideas to celebrate. Now, with AI, synthetic biology etc, many techno-optimists are describing a dehumanised future that makes most of us pawns in someone else’s game. I think the first option is still there, but we have to make it so.

So here's today's rabbit hole....

If you are waiting for someone to find a sword in a stone, in England, and pull it out...possibly in hope of some miraculous thing....

From Konstantin Kisin's Russian attitudes towards ethnicity, to Adam Mitula's specifically Polish form of antisemitism, the British far-right has embraced a "cultural melting pot" approach to different forms of international racism

FUCK this shit. This industry somehow hates the people who built it, the audience, AND anyone who cares about it.

"It was a vehicle for crushing the left..."

Sky reports on the Labour right organisation 'Labour Together' smearing 2 journalists

This org has a history of lying, breaking electoral law & smearing people. The only difference now is that they've picked on people who matter

It seems like only yesterday that LIFELINES was out in hardback but with the first signs of spring appearing here in northern Greece it means the paperback is already on its way. And Waterstones is offering 25% off from today until Friday for online pre-orders!
