Yes, this will definitely cut the knees off U18s watching pixelated bukkake
Starting July 25, Bluesky will require users in the UK to scan their face, upload an ID or verify their identity with a bankcard.
I realize that platforms feel they have no choice but to comply with the government surveillance schemes, but shocking nonetheless.

Changed my mind. I'm now giving 100 of these away instead. I wonder if that might be possible, by next week, if this gets enough shares and hits the algorithm?
Hello! I'm giving away 20 (20!) signed paperbacks of this book to the first people to reply to this post. Stephen Fry called it "enchanting" and "hilarious" but some people hate it & that's all cool & what happens with books. Limiting this to UK (but happy to send outside if you can cover postage)..

I understand Neil Young headlining Glasto, he’s Neil Young. I understand Olivia Rodrigo headlining Glasto, because they like having huge pop stars, and people like huge pop stars. I don’t understand The £19.75 headlining Glasto, because I don’t understand The fucking £19.75 or know what they’re for

There’s a special place in hell for foley editors who slather relentless FX of dogs barking on outdoor scenes (plus blatant studio-shot ones) to establish ‘atmosphere’. Three episodes into A Thousand Blows and at the point of giving up as the constant sound of barking sets our lad off.

Here for this week’s #uncanny about a haunted chazzer. Points for anybody who gets pelted with a film tie-in copy of About A Boy, anything by Geoff Love and his orchestra, or Atmosfear with the tape missing.

It’s almost at the point that I’d suggest that an AI Prime Minister might be a better shout, but only because it would be less likely through training to be be having a prolonged strangle wank over AI

Enjoyed #TheWarGames. I’m probably in a minority of people that would be absolutely happy for it to be TWENTY episodes long, as I just can’t get enough of it, but I enjoyed the edit. Not perfect, and a little too speedy in places cut-wise (even another five mins would have given it more space)
