They have of course closed the Afghan resettlement scheme and refugee family reunification, and banned Ukrainians from ILR after 10 years.

if you're going to point to labour offering "safe routes" for refugees, please don't cite the BNO which is a) for specific people from hong kong only, b) is an expensive paid visa with no guarantee of settlement, and c) is (so far) included in the consultation for extending ILR from 5 years to 10

this is essentially like pointing to the ukraine route, which is also a visa and currently offers no route to permanent residency at all. in fact labour actually blocked the possibility of settlement via the 10 year route too:

I suspect ferelden has a home office

? that's 11,804 people who applied for the BNO route, which is a) only available to people coming from Hong Kong and b) costs a small fortune, because it's a paid visa - and is also included in the consultation with regard to extending the path to ILR from 5 years to 10

my wife with her eyes closed looking annoyed

my wife looking incredibly annoyed in front of a blue/green night sky

jovi:

my wife looking annoyed

my wife looking very annoyed, in front of some snow

my wife staring at someone in disgust

my wife looking at someone with annoyance inside a building

i've never seen my wife looking so thoroughly annoyed as she does in dragon age veilguard. every other scene she's about to strangle someone, it's incredible

also it's incredibly funny to me that he ends all of those posts with the kind of close-out you get on an email to the council over a missed bin collection

The upshot is this is that I need to spend some money on a Skype replacement because haha hoo boy

Lay's drastically rebrands after disturbing finding: 42% of consumers didn't know their chips were made out of potatoes | Fortune New bags—matte-ified and designed to look like wood planks (like a potato crate)—will hold the chips with revamped ingredient lists.

They're spinning this as a marketing fail but I think the real story is just that people are stupid as fucking rocks now fortune.com/2025/10/10/p...

what's really bizarre is that this is played more authentically than the actual send up in strange new worlds S3, which instead plays out as someone doing a parody of a parody

A surprising number of terrible accounts, it turns out!

we regret to inform you-

A video post from journalist Olga Nesterova saying “a rat ran across the table at Al Jazeera during a broadcast” with a rat emoji and a grimace emoji, which is still up, even though many people have pointed out it’s an AI-generated video

If you don’t delete an AI video after multiple people have pointed out to you that it is, honestly, fuck you. You are spreading misinformation at best, and at worst, contributing to the deterioration of our shared reality.

Some of my favorite people are retired engineers, but hooboy…every time I go to my department mailbox and see a hand-addressed manila envelope I know I’m about to open a typewritten manifesto on asteroid consciousness or a self-published manual for a WD40-powered time machine

"am I feeling ill because I ate nine billion cola bottles? no, must be the pork"

"even if it's AI, it's at least true" hard to overstate the damage this stuff is doing to people's brains. we're gonna be cleaning the slop out of archives for decades

at this rate Dan will be having to tell people "please do not sell your home made asbestos bags on etsy"

i'm off to our monthly gamedev audio meetup tomorrow and can't wait to tell the gang my ears have exploded

ooh no chat to me levi, me!! me!!!

the only thing funnier than seeing gale go from potential love interest to "why are you eating shoes" was when not-gandalf shows up to tell him he needs to go and explode himself immediately

also I quite liked the nice lady in the video

this is absolutely bananas
