Ben/Sky (idc really)

I sent an email to John Grady (Labour) about the Supreme Court ruling a few weeks ago. He did not respond until yesterday, after I sent him a follow up, where he didn't specifically answer a single question I posed and talked about 'both sides' in this 'polarised debate'.

Spineless!

been thinking a lot about the wise words of Gordon Cole recently

i do commend whoever wrote it because it sums up everything that is actually threatening about AI. Its a self lobotomization tool. You might as well ask “why think?”

Needless cruelty!! Evil, petty and nasty!

Don't vote Labour! Don't let them march at Pride!

By refusing to fight, they continue to cede ground to the right. They're letting them win their rhetorical battle.

That so many of you carry on posting on X encapsulates the problem with authoritarianism. Many people hate it but aren't prepared to make even the tiniest personal sacrifice to oppose it [like foregoing the fun of shitposting on the authoritarian propaganda website].

Wonder if the press will report on the protests

They always seem more than happy to cover those tiny TERF protests

getting a bit tiring to think "ah yay, the worst people you know are having a great day" several times a week, every single week

I don’t really give a shit how much of a conservative this makes me sound like, but the United States has suffered an existential collapse in the civic virtue of our citizens necessary to sustain a liberal democracy.

Just had to deliver four 30-minute egg drop challenge workshops in 2 hours

My vocal chords are COOKED

markets soar as investors realize that mommy didn't actually disappear, she was just hiding behind her hands

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

A new interesting dimension of the hellscape we're inhabiting that I've noticed is young children wearing AI slop graphic t-shirts.

I hate it.

My social media footprint has been weakening recently (work is tiring), but came here to update that I passed my probation last week :)

I know the world is going crazy right now but it's *still* insane how little anyone seems to be talking about Serbia.

Insane demonstrations, smoke grenades in parliament, student-led democratic movements. While the world seems to be sliding backwards, Serbia could be on the brink of something new.

Started a new tiktok account out of curiosity.

Countless videos about white people "disappearing" in the UK, Nigel Farage shutting down "pro-immigrant woke people" and AI videos about immigrants.

You could easily be convinced the country is ending if you watched this slop every hour of your life.

I reckon we're about two weeks away from 'Kemi Badenoch SHITS on Keir Starmer's face'

happy twin peaks day :)

Idk if you've seen the video clip but it's actually hilarious.

All the clapping at conference just dies out as soon as he announces it lmao

All of this shit is gonna age so badly when Musk inevitably triggers a financial meltdown in America as state services and basic infrastructure start failing

slightly-NSFW picks I took earlier

enjoy this rhetoric, Starmer could learn something about attacking and calling out his opponents from davey

Seeing Circa Waves live last night is restarting my indie rat phase send help

Not Jerry Seinfeld becoming a godlike intergalactic figure

Given a detention for not having my planner on my desk during form at the beginning of the day (it was in my bag).

Absolute BANGER - such a solid choice

Based number 1

Spent the day teaching people using flight simulators

I love my job

There is so little coverage on the Serbian protests in western media it's insane

if you're curious about the poster it depicts the turkish revolution

1922 - victory against the greeks
1925 - outlawing the fez (they were a symbol of sharia law and the regressive ottoman empire)
1928 - Turkish alphabet reform
1930+ - civil reform

my dnd campaign setting is loosely based on 1400s turkey so naturally i've spent my my sunday listening to turkish folk music to ensure the soundtrack pops off
