What an absolute disgrace.
French authorities are taking X to court because Grok is now doing straight up holocaust denial. Gas chambers intended for disinfection, cyanide residue tiny, ‘story’ persists because of taboo against critical examination. (Full translation in alt text)

Just blocked someone on Instagram who showed up on my algorithm saying 'In no particular order here are the top ten...' whilst later saying 'and now we're in the top four. This is the creme de la creme'.

I can't be having that kind of gas lightining in my life.

A group of Celtic fans boo during the minutes silence - usual suspects in uproar.... widespread media coverage.

Rangers used Poppy Scotland to make a profit by selling limited edition Poppy shirts with only 10% of sales going to charity.... usual suspects and the media silent.

How about there's a punch up on the beach and bond saves a suicidal woman From drowning herself. He then muses 'this never happened to the other guy' before the titles begin.

Just a thought.

Huge numbers of Labour policy spads read @samfr.bsky.social’s Substack, where the exact scale of the repair job was written in black and white. What actually happened is those people were cowed into silence by a set-up that valued polling over policy.

Read this!
New post just out:

Why the criminal justice system should be top of No. 10's "shit list".

No part of the public sector is more broken or brings with it greater political risk. As we saw these past two weeks.

It desperately needs a new approach.

It must be so weird being a 7 month old right now. 'We're going out? Great. Why... why are you still dressing me? What the... what are you putting on my hands? Christ I'm warm! FINALLY! In the buggy and out we... WHAT THE HELL? What's that feeling? My face! It's like a thousand knives stabbing me!'

'Rat made a bright fire in the parlour, and planted the Mole in an arm-chair in front of it, having fetched down a dressing-gown and slippers for him, and told him river stories till supper-time.' - The Wind in the Willows

Can we normalise giving guests dressing gowns and slippers again?

The theme from K9 and Company is memorably awful. Ian Levine has always defended his original vision for it claiming it was intended to be performed by an orchestra and we would all have a different opinion of it if we heard that.

Now we can.

Farage told us the flag-raisers were just ordinary folk sticking it to the system. A few months worth of local journalism later, that now looks like a shaky claim.'

Hot Take for controversy's sake: Ghostbusters is superior to Ghostbusters 2 BUT On Our Own by Bobby Brown is superior to Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr.

I know we each bring our own reading to a book, but what is wrong with Musk? The 'hard men' of Gondor are represented ny Boromir. It does not go well for Boromir!

The Gondorian who understands power isn't everything and shows compassion to the weak? Faramir.

Faramir ends up Prince of Ithilien.
The "hard-men" of Gondor were getting their shit kicked in until they were rescued by foreigners and a girl.

The Shire was doing fine until they let a fascist demagogue ("Sharkey" aka Saruman) take over, close the gates, impose a bunch of thug-enforced rules, and despoil nature for profit.
