It's a comedy drama about those never-not-hilarious topics - breast cancer and Brexit. Starring Mark Benton , Sally Lindsay & Lewis MacLeod.

Real LAN Party energy to these pics
They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.”

When my grandad was in prison he used to dish out his own brand of justice to sex offenders BUT he was fastidious and would thoroughly reconsider all the evidence first.

His motto was, "Measure twice, cut nonce."

Non-zero chance that the reason these dickheads write RETVRN isn't cod-Latin typography, but that their AI can't render the word properly
I know, yeah, it's AI, but it just utterly wild to me, speaking as someone who grew up *in London in the time period being depicted here* that people are doing nostalgia for *London in the 90s*!
London in the good old days - before everyone's feet pointed forwards.

Someone needs to explain to the government that the supposed reach they think they have over Twitter/X is illusory and quickly being whittled down to a self-selecting audience of political extremists, bad actors and fans of CSAM

The best part of the Pluribus season finale is when Carol dropped this bomb. Absolute masterclass from Gilligan.

"What was your biggest impact on the Internet?"

Probably when I made a clone of Wordle called SWEARDLE that got me interviewed on NPR and I explained the word 'pish' to over a million Americans
"What was your biggest impact on the Internet?"

By the time you find out it'll be too late.

If you are a fan of PLURIBUS you might want to see this very early performance by Rhea Seehorn in the tutorial for the Magic The Gathering PC game. Try not to think or say the words 'Kill Jester' while watching. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jp4...

It's actually amazing how willfully stupid these people are. The urge to slap the books out of the nerd's hands completely overriding even the faint feeling at the edge of their minds that maybe some of this stuff might be useful or even valuable one day
