Remember when parties who lost elections used to be like "This is a strong message from the electorate and we will listen and learn and change" rather than "Fuck everyone who didn't vote for us, you're all extremists trying to destroy Britain"

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

In its more horrific method of retribution, the mob will sometimes dress victims as mimes, place them in glass boxes, and let them perish slowly in full view of the public.

Mason @realMasonMohon : 1h You have a pride flag in your bio. You obviously think marriage is a term with no actual content that can be applied to anything. No wonder we say you don’t understand marriage Ephraim Stone @TEStoneWrites - ih The rainbow in my bio is a reminder that G-D will never again bring destruction to creation, that His covenants are eternal, that his word is unfailing, and that His gifts to my foremothers and forefathers are everlasting. Mason @realMasonMohon - 23m Apologies for misunderstanding. As I’m sure you know, many others use it to represent something else Ephraim Stone @TEStoneWrites I also suck dick

BBC News headlines: Education School caterers 'confident' of meat Missing children data 'worrying'

Happy 13th anniversary to this pair of matching news headlines.

I got too stressed out once Mr X turned up. Should I go back? Would Assisted mode help me?

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

Let me ask you a question. Do you like water and breathable air? Or would you prefer to be able to make Captain Pugwash and Buzz Lightyear do stuff to each other for just $14.99 per month?

This is the dilemma of the age, let's debate this endlessly.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

Donald Trump Confuses Dementia Screening for 'Very Hard' IQ Test as He Brags About Results People

This is probably the funniest headline of the year.

Even this lunatic dipshit doesn't want digital ID cards.

if you’ve ever watched the apprentice, that’s the world without arts or humanities degrees

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

We used to get videos and images from people who liked making videos and images. AI means we can now get them from people who dislike making videos and images. This doesn’t feel like an improvement.

Wow we should base our entire economy on this technology

Just the dumbest fucking thing to rebuild our whole world around.

One of the most profound mistakes of the last 30 or so years was conceding the principle that one of the main purposes of education (at all levels, but especially university) was preparation for employment.

What would Orwell think about a huge face on a gigantic screen telling a crowd of people they should wage war on foreigners and dissidents? No way of knowing, I guess.

Someone's going to turn this into a screenlife movie, nobody let Timur Bekmambetov see this

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer
