Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over.

They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

The onset of fast solar winds and a possible CME reaching Earth means that aurora sightings are possible tonight

This is most likely for northern Scotland with lower chances further south

Look to the northern horizon and take a peek ✨

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Liverpool fans boo the national anthem for a reason Booing the national anthem was not only about protesting the spectacle of royalty and patriotism – it was also about justice for the Hillsborough 97

Four breaking news stories from the BBC, all showing police, prisons and government policy to be pretty shit.

Looks like everything is a-ok with the UK's police and criminal justice system eh?

Watches

I've bought 2 watches during their rare sale, which ends in about an hour.

Hat tip to @gavrov.bsky.social for making me aware of their existence. Very cool designs 😎

My bank's website is one letter off from a gross German porn site and it's annoying because I keep accidentally visiting my bank's website.

Not rude things, a thread:

If you walk into a pub of Whales they stop speaking English. Have I got that right?

Mind-blowingly cool use of AI
“Altogether, these findings are leading us to an extraordinary conclusion: Whales may possess a communication system more intricate than our own, one that possibly predates human language by tens of millions of years.”

IN THE event of a catastrophic oil-spill at sea, haven't the likes of Shell and BP considered throwing a load of sliced mushrooms on the slick? Them bastards hoover up all the oil in the pan when I'm trying to do a fry-up. Plus, a bedraggled cormorant might appreciate a snack whilst waiting to be rescued. Eldon Furse, email

Russia has a new submarine

Cheers mate 🍻

British sailors rescue German sailors from the Bismarck, because failure to assist survivors after a battle is a war crime. And ordering them killed is also a war crime. Yes, even in the "Gulf of America."

This guy cries into his teddy bear at night thinking about scary socialism.

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk.

That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

Bad news for anyone thinking of responding to the consultation on the new electric vehicle duty.

The consultation opens today, and closes last March.

The UK government has again frozen fuel duty but will charge EV owners by the mile. Hard to see this as anything other than an attempt to suppress EV adoption.

There's an advert on his website for a 'Depot Supervisor' that pays £12.75 an hour for shift work.
If he wants to reduce welfare spending maybe he should pay staff enough that they don't need in-work benefits.
