Time to watch some proper grownup telly you losers

All the afternoon with my carpenters, making them lay all my boards but one in my dining room this day, which I am confident they would have made two good days work of if I had not been there, and it will be very pleasant.

It always sounds to me like they're just going to start letting off nukes for no reason except dick waving. Which feels ill advised.

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

"Stay signed in?" Outlook in Browser asks me, seductively.

"Yes." I reply.

We both know it's a lie, but perhaps one day it will be true. The dream remains.

I call this piece What If The Loch Ness Monster Was Mr Blobby

In the UK, we have a government who will complain about peaceful protests taking up valuable police resources while simultaneously complaining that the police shouldn't ban far right football hooligans with a history of violence and disruption from attending a match.

Corruption is a strong favourite in those regimes - everyone *is* corrupt, so everyone is vulnerable. Also if you're not corrupt, you're not trusted.

with your help we can change this

Are any of the Soviet folks above Nedelin? A man who IIRC, while ahead of schedule made up his own short deadline and then got his team blown up trying to meet it?

To be fair - American missileers do include The Sex Magic Guy

Tweet: @vexwerewolf Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth" Scott Jennings @Lum 21h um, yes, that's really a problem Show this thread 9 paints • 12 hrs The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly arent usually on our side.

Amazing

Did... did they miss the fall of the Soviet Union? It was kinda a big thing.

- The UK must stop exporting arms to Israel.
- States must follow their legal obligations and press Israel to end its genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
- Palestinian armed groups must release all civilian hostages immediately and unconditionally.

KITCHENWARE COMPANY BOSS: So, did you come up with a name for that revolving food tray, Susan?

SUSAN: No, couldn't be arsed.

"sorry for your pain and loss, I've invited this guy over who fucking hates you"

This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

Kofta kebab recipe in England c. 1660. Amazing find!

Didn't ask, says local dad

Why do velociraptors make bad pets?
Because they're all dead

Properly laughed at this one so hard I had to sit down

Which Way to Armageddon? Thinking about the mix of artificial intelligence and nuclear weapons while staring at the Chicago skyline.

I worked through some more thoughts about mixing AI and nuclear weapons, an interview I wasn't able to use somewhere else, and what it's like to stare at the Chicago skyline while @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social tells you all the pieces that would be ash if anyone dropped a nuke on it

A leaf removal train, named Ctrl Alt Deleaf. GEDDIT?!

Sometimes, I love this country of mine.

Yes, yes you are. Stop cosplaying "legitimate concerns". When you join a far right rally, organised by well known far right leader Tommy Robinson, with a host of speakers who outright say they are far right, you are a racist. No ifs, buts or maybes. There are no excuses for being there.

That's just the Second Lord Rothermere!

That's the Warhammer experience really!

The Old Wellington Inn in Manchester, being jacked up on stilts to the new street level during redevelopment. It definitely looks like it's about to waddle out of the picture.

Despite easily being the most British fighting vehicle ever developed, the mock-Tudor AT-AT programme was sadly cancelled due to budgetary concerns
