Even by /r/LegalAdviceUK's standards this is an absolutely sensational made-up post. 10/10 no notes

Saw an exhibition recently by the Iraqi artist Wafaa Bilal - part of it is based on the rumour Saddam wanted to launch a golden statue of himself into space, into a geosynchronous orbit above Baghdad so his visage would always be looking down on it.

I pray the Trump people never find out about this

Yes the much more theologically interesting aspect is that when she was religious, she thought prayer as something to undo life's inconveniences rather than a means of communing spiritually with the almighty

I'm one of Badenoch's biggest haters and even I agree with this, whole load of nothing

Film buffs will rage and rant while many millennials will be strangely soothed by its resemblance to the Windows XP wallpaper

This is absolutely sensational. If it wasn't real someone would have had to make it up as a wind-up

Also it's a damning indictment that despite a decade plus of continual bank propaganda going "we will never call you and ask you to move money on your phone", absolutely none of it has sunk in

Regardless of whether they are more digitally savvy I think millennials' natural aversion to phone calls is an underrated defence against this sort of scam - we simply do not ever want to be on the phone this long

Saw a Reddit post on a new twist in push payment scams and what strikes me isn't it's "sophistication", it's how mind-numbingly tedious it is. It must have taken ages to happen

Thinking this would also work as a @dasharez0ne.bsky.social graphic with it being said by a big neon skeleton

The biggest bubble belief on here is that people generally hate generative AI and it is being foisted on an unwilling public. This simply isn't the case!

Racist demonstrations, reportedly organised by Neo-Nazi groups, have been held outside asylum hostels around London. They have turned ugly & violent at times.

First question on #r4today to a local MP: “do you have sympathy with protesters?”

I switched off. Enough.

What a life lived. RIP

Incidentally one of the underrated reasons for why this story carries is the fact it involves a Tech CEO (which the left hates) and a head of HR (which the right hates), and for all the other haters, there's Coldplay as well. Something for everyone!

It's a cliche now, but this one of those sentences that would have looked totally baffling a few years ago

I'm not particular against LLM usage in coding, but vibe coding in the sense of "Leroy Jenkinsing your way through" without practices such as separate dev and production environments, is not the way forward

Two things can both be true:
1. A lot of the financial industry is a scam.
2. A low-cost index tracker is a good idea for those who have money they can tie up for a longish time.

For comparison I would love to see the same attitude towards buy to let as an investment

No the last season ended on a cliffhanger, but I think the original plan was to have just 2-3 seasons but Netflix want to flog a dead horse as much as it can

This series has dragged on for so long. When the first season was released Obama was still president. David Cameron had only quit being PM two days earlier bsky.app/profile/cult...

Odd, I didnt get that but I did get one about the AGM in May so I am still on some sort of list. Not the only one who's not had any

Co-op boss says sorry to 6.5m people who had data stolen in hack In her first interview since the attack, Co-op's chief executive said she was

Co-op boss says they took "immediate action" on the hack but I'm a member and still haven't had an email or anything informing me about it www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Nothing quite like the sound of Darude's Sandstorm echoing around an empty stadium to tell you the Scottish football season is back baby. Awouu (wolf howl)

YouTube video by Matthias random stuff Best fan placement to move air through the house

Topical given the heat we have, I found this video on where best to place a fan to cool down the house really interesting youtu.be/1L2ef1CP-yw

Happens with lots of foreign brands. Asahi Superdry is (or was) brewed in Kent by Shepherd Neame, right next to the Bishops Finger

It's a real brewery in Italy! It's just brewed under licence in Wolverhampton to the same recipe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birrifi...

It would be nice to, among other things, get an answer from the UK government about why they still feel comfortable using this as one of their primary communication channels

Holy shit, I remember one of my teachers at school ranting about how the loony left invented a brand new alphabet in the 60s and left a generation illiterate and I always thought it a bit far-fetched but... turns out there's some truth in it
