The weirdest thing about the Shirley Manson beachball story is that she's from Scotland. We all hate the fucking beach. It's pebbles and razor clams and ice cold spray off the windy sea.

"A BBC journalist ran the image through an AI chatbot which identified key spots that may have been manipulated."

It's a language model. It doesn't "identify" shit. It predicts what you want to hear.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Of course these are the same people whose only defense is "the other football team also do this" any time Glasgow is ripped up by footie riots so the standard isn't exactly high.

I used to get so many angry replies when I said that but it seems like even the biggest footie lads are finding it hard to defend this one.

Following @sailorrooscout.bsky.social is a great way to combat doomerism. Medical science is magic and medicine is making advances every day.

To my friends from LiveJournal

I still think about you Wonder if you finally quit, Do you still speak to your mom?

I remember when you went to Japan How you swore you'd never forgive him.

I can't remember to take my meds but I remember you wanted to live on a houseboat. It's a strange intimacy, all of us unspooling across decades of internet space Like balls of yarn leaving a trail behind us of everywhere and everyone we've ever been

I hope you got your houseboat.

I hope you got everything.

A world map infographic comparing annual per capita consumption of coffee versus tea, with countries shaded brown where coffee is consumed more and teal where tea is consumed more. Large swaths of the globe including most of Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the UK are shown preferring tea, while North America, most of South America, much of Europe including Scandinavia, and Australia are shaded for coffee. The split shows clear regional trends: coffee dominates in the Americas, Northern and Central Europe, and Australia, while tea dominates in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. The map is titled โ€œCOFFEE VS TEA Whatโ€™s consumed more in cups per year,โ€ with a key identifying coffee in brown and tea in teal, and cites Statista as the source. At the bottom is the logo for The World in Maps.

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).

It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.

Make sure you have these disabled.

Many moons age, we found the lid of a 'vintage' Polly Pocket Jewelled Palace (1992) washed up on a beach in Cornwall. Years later, we found its base.

One of the few times someone did this to my face I managed to hit out with "I got paid either way" and I'm still buzzing from that one.

Apparently there is a weird partial broadband outage covering large patches of the UK today and has been all day. I haven't seen any news about it but downdetector, etc reports are way up.
