Over 2.5 million Israelis joined today’s anti-Netanyahu protests, organisers estimate. 300,000 are now in Tel Aviv's Hostage Square. (Haaretz)

A drawing of Kermit the Frog being pupeteered by a Nazi. The Nazi is making him shoot a gun and Kermit is yelling “I’m so sorry. This isn’t who I am!”

can’t sleep because i’ve had a harrowing vision of a WW2 Muppet Movie where Kermit gets captured

Three panel comic:

1st panel: Two crudely drawn stick men:
Stick man 1: to make art that is popular you have to be really good at drawing

2nd panel: 
stick man 2: but if that’s true

3rd panel: both characters are looking at a spot beneath the comic (where the likes are)
Stick man 2: why does this comic have thousands of likes?

America is fucked. Other countries just have to try and mitigate its potentially dangerous decay now.

The UK is trying the flattery and distraction diplomacy approach. Effectively just jingling our keys and saying “who’s a cute likle president?”

It might hold but I wonder for how long.

Just listened… it’s kinda dodgy. But so were the off-trade sales they were doing in the first place. I imagine the whole thing had GG’s designated premises person just walking the other way and hoping for the best.

I’m not listening due to hospital visiting but they should be under the hotel’s, depending on if the space is licensed, although a trained member of staff should be overseeing. If not you can get individual day exceptions for village fetes.

Woke up because my Al controlled bed is too cold. Went to adjust
temperature and I can't because the Eight Sleep app is currently broken. Can't adjust by hand because I have a Pod3, not the upgraded Pod4 with
physical controls.
Now I am stuck in a cold bed. This feels dystopian.

The only difference between our reality and a Philip K Dick novel is the characters in a Philip K Dick novel don't choose to live like this

The 100yr cycle from mid 20th c to the mid 21st that goes “these British seaside towns were rich because people went there for holidays for sun - these British seaside towns were poor because people went to Spain for more sun - these towns were rich because Spain had too much sun” will be wild

Basically, yer don’t get to moan about one if you’re doing the other. And no amount of “ewww, it’s just Nintendo/Disney (insert other evil corporation here)” will make it otherwise.

It’s one of my least fashionable takes that people torrenting stuff are just as bad as the AI companies. Indeed, the long held attitudes of one almost certainly gave birth to the attitudes of the other.

Who has all these broken toilets? Who’s living their life with the constant sound of a cistern not filling? Where has this epidemic of broken bogs come from?

They are slightly less melodramatic than the radio soap.

The American people really need to be held to account. They do not understand that their electoral choices can and will result in millions of deaths in other countries. It's about time they bore consequences for bad decisions.
