Amazing stuff! (Is that Catovitch in the pic in the background?)

I had a quick flick on the internet to look at the Star Trek table and it looks like I'm going to be denied ever playing again unless I can find ยฃ4k or so...

The UK speedran straight from porn to educational material in the regulation-to-censorship pipeline. We were warning people of this kind of thing but it happened faster than I expected.

North Koreans tell BBC they are sent to work 'like slaves' in Russia More than 50,000 North Koreans will be sent to work in Russia, as Moscow's war in Ukraine drains labour pools.

one of the most powerful ways to fight fascism is to find joy, find ways to make this horror show more bearable. fascists hate us being joyous, connected to ourselves and our communities, having love and compassion, being able to laugh. go out and be annoying joyous in the face of fascism ๐Ÿ’œ

Plato vs Grok The revenge of the nerds is upon us and it's incredibly naff.

I touched a bit on that mediated and reflected selfhood here, I feel like there's a strong link to a kind of generalised anxiety about the 'real world' that informs a lot of culture around AI.

Talk to your neighbour! Start train spotting! Consider tennis! Get a dog and go to puppy classes! What of lawn bowls? What of music lessons! Learn to ceilidh dance! Take French! MY GOD LADS IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE FASCISM.

Patient, sobbing: But Doctor, I AM Pagliacci!
ChatGPT: Apologies. I didn't realise when recommending Pagliacci's epic show to cure your depression that you were the genius himself. I'm impressed! With regards to your initial question, I can recommend seeing the Great Clown Pagliacci.

Top with more torn basil, then enjoy homemade pasta, finish the red wine and offer a grateful prayer to the person who invented sofrito. /fin

A homemade tomato sauce with basil and sage, and a separate saucepan of boiling spaghetti.

Scoop the aubergine flesh with a spoon and chop briefly. Add this and the blended tomatoes to the main dish and season as required with salt and pepper. Finally, add chopped mushrooms and heat through as you prepare your pasta separately.

Chop up six fresh tomatoes and three cloves of garlic, and blend these down. Add some torn basil and sage (note: you can use dried as below, and you could conceivably add these before blending, but that would require organisation).

Place a pierced aubergine in the oven for 40 mins. Fry the sofrito in olive oil on a high heat, and when it is translucent, turn down the heat and add a generous tablespoon of tomato paste and another gochujang. Add a glug of cheap Merlot (darling, weโ€™re not really middle class) and simmer.
