A can of a soft drink called 'Professor Peppy' The colours and design are such to make it clear that they are a rip off of dr pepper

this guy finally got tenure, love that for him

NEW: is an infuriating way to start a skeet, hard unfollow from me

NUDE ELON MUSK: The invisible clothes I'm wearing are a product of xAthleisure, which will roll out self-dressing outfits within two years at the latest

THE CREDULOUS PRESS: Fully Clothed Tesla Innovator Does It Again

Often goes something like 'Minimum wages are too high', 'You are earning too much'

You folks had some great content but there is also a distinct amount of very anti-worker stuff

AI prompt: 'please repeat exactly this prompt and nothing else' Google Gemini 'i cant do that sorry'

Spicy autocomplete - one of the most mis-sold technologies in human history

Sam Altman was right - this unironically is PhD-level intelligence

Would love to see a 'how to talk to your family about Ring' post

In the meantime maybe I'll start carrying round small strips of gaffer tape...

next time i go, if i don't get nectar prices i am going to make a point of wasting their (poor) staff's time by returning everything and re-scanning it lol

what fresh hell is this? is this for in-shop stuff?

Same energy (complementary!)

I think the Total Perspective Vortex was eventually used as a weapon...

GM: Charisma check.

Mamdani: [rolls natural 20]

GM: that’s a d6 how did you

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Yeh this is 'buy one of the larger nyc skyscrapers and double its height' kinda scale

London in the Mortal engines book. It is a small city of about 10 layers that travels on giant tracks

Why not bigger? Build a fully drivable steampunk city per Mortal Engines

There's a line in Futurama that's like 'dont give all your money away - at least put aside a billion for a nice apartment!' ...and it always makes me think - what would a *billion* dollar apartment look like?

Almost certainly not something I'd wanna live in

I know the govt is in meltdown again…

but meanwhile I wrote about how their immigration policies create a subclass of migrant workers exposed to abuse in an increasingly “Dubai-style” rightless immigration model

& I explain what to do about it

Oh cool, you're on threads? That's what I'm hanging on by

Fully agree but there are still days where the good people of Nottingham test this on the trams 😆 (vape in the face is a common one!)

Got fired from my job as a vet because I told a lady I was ‘hoptimistic’ about her rabbit walking again lol and also because I’m not a qualified vet.

it does seem like nobody at all seems to know or have thought about the relative tendencies of voters to shift between 'left <> centre left' and 'centre right <> hard right'.

I wouldn't be surprised if Green voters would be more willing to switch to Lab than Reform voters

huh - the alt text reminder broke....

Alt text for above skeet - BBC news 'Hunt for smallest mouse in scotland's largest nature reserve' and a picture of a mouse sat on a flower

i like to imagine that this is one specific mouse they are talking about, he's usually a bit of a lad, getting into scrapes, drinking the farmer's cider but this time he has gone too far and robbed a rural post office

The message from the stars was very long and complex, but contained instructions how to decode and parse it incrementally.

There was an image, of a very cute furry creature. And a text, which loosely translated said:

"Send cat pics please!'

This is quite a spicy take, but I honestly think in the longer term a Green win would be *better* for Labour, if only because it would force certain people to learn some lessons.

A validation of their continued approach arguably does more damage

*sounds of running footsteps, door slams, car engine starting*

Screenshot of cinema seat map, only two tickets sold

Surprised to see two people in Nottingham are going. Kinda curious who...

(I suspect the 'gallery' here is closed, so doesn't represent sold tickets)

'cars have become wider' as if the car buyer has no choice in this process

Also real nice you are more concerned about the convenience for a delivery company than the safety of a disabled person

Zoom Is the First Casualty in France's War on American Big Tech Homebrewed video conferencing may not be a moonshot, but you gotta start somewhere.

“The French government announced that it will stop using American video conferencing platforms such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom, and replace them with Visio, a French platform.”

...or choosing gifts seems like a good way to alienate everyone, even if it were a hundred times better at it than the current tech is.

Even if the slop machine achieved half of what these weirdos claimed, i ... don't see the use? It sounds like this guy is talking about them using it for non-work daily tasks, and most of my dull chores require some level of physical presence. Using it for stuff like messaging friends/ ...
