The hypocrisy of Reform going on TV to allege that certain groups are constantly over represented on TV is truly epic.

The hotel I stayed at when visiting Miami last year just sent a push message to my phone offering me 6 months of Perplexity. Why is a hotel brand shilling for AI companies? MAKE THE MADNESS STOP.

I had something for this about Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe et al, but I rather suspect “goonscrolling” has an entirely different meaning in the year of our lord 2025.
If you’re trying to find out where in Somerset the former Formula One racing driver Jenson Button comes from, you’re Fromescrolling.
If you’re looking for fictitious Scottish villages which only appear for one day every 100 years it’s Brigadoonscrolling x

Imagine having less game than a fucking AI *and* thinking this would work as a tactic. Give me strength.
“Chatfished” is an excellent word for it though.

If you’ve been using an abandoned version of aws-vault, why not take a look at this fork? It has a couple of new features, and is now the default in Homebrew. Drop a star on the GitHub project if you’re using it.
I'm excited to announce shortly after picking up aws-vault project, we already have new features from the #OpenSource community and released as v7.7 🚀:
* 1Password backend for secrets
* TouchID keystore support
It's great to see community collaboration and engagement!

Why are people such fucking idiots about football?
My 29 year old daughter introduced her boyfriend to me. On paper, he ticks a lot of boxes - well educated, good job, polite, treats her well, etc. But he's a Spurs fan so is destined to a life of misery and I don't want any grandkids to be like that.
