Don't you hate when you find a really good show and then you have to pay attention to it

Columbo in his first episode looks like a dog that's just come back from the groomer

a computer can never be spiteful or horny therefore a computer must never make art design is a reference to the famous 1979, IBM presentation: "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision."

I reiterate my contention that transphobes don't remotely understand what they're supposedly mad about. Lazy thinking that arises from confused, post hoc justifications for their personal discomfort.

Screenshot of an online store product selection. It shows a man in the same hat twice, one in dark grey, one in light. The product is misspelled as "Gary" instead of grey.

"Gary? Yes... that was what they used to call me. Dark Gary. That was my name.

I am Light Gary, and I come back to you now at the turn of the tide."

Iirc, this is you and Immanuel Kant

Philip Larkin’s this be the verse mangled into Ozymandias, the text reads They Oz you up, your mandyias. They may not mean to, but they do. They give you vast and trunkless legs A sunken shattered visage too. But they were Ozzed up in their turn By Mandyias upon the sand Who half the time had wrinkled lips And half in sneering cold command. Oz hands on mandyias to man. Like mighty works atop a shelf Look on them early as you can Ye mighty and despair yourself

Ghetto with a hard r there

Omg man of mystery

Massively curious as to what you were teaching Swedish special forces??

First time as tragedy, second time as farce etc.

Hmm yes maybe there's more specific terminology. Stoke-on-Trent could be a good example closer to home.

Isn't that what a conurbation is?

Gimli at the council of elrond saying 'you son of a bitch, I'm in!'

Fair. I deleted the whole discover feed for the same reason

Ah that makes sense actually

Why so many people block nowbreezing?

No carrots here mate, you want the orangegrocers

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

“If the car’s gone,”

“I’ll give you another cookie anyway”

“because I love you.”

Happy Columbo’s Day

“white working class” is an inherently reactionary concept. it takes working-class issues - which apply to all working-class people - and turns them into white racial issues, which erases working-class POC and only divides working people.

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

+1 for scepticism, ataraxia is real

I thought the Online Safety Act was supposed to protect me from this kind of filth

Spider-Man asking dinosaur mad scientist Sauron why he is using his 170 seat majority to constantly fuck up instead of fixing Britain and Sauron saying that’s the way he likes it

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

Oh no just like the ending of 28 weeks later

When a parrot wanted to connect with a distant friend, a touchscreen showed a selection of other birds available online. The parrots learned to activate the screen, designed specially for them, by touching it gently with their tongues rather than pecking aggressively with their beaks. "We had 26 birds involved," said Hirskyj-Douglas. "They would use the system up to three hours a day, with each call lasting up to five minutes." The interactions ranged from preening and playing with toys to loud vocal exchanges. "When we went through the data, we found that most of these parrots had favourite friends," said Hirskyj-Douglas.

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔
