i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.

Just going to reiterate that in 2016 Trump inherited the lowest murder rate of any president in 50 years. He set reality aside, gave his “American Carnage” inaugural address, and was then the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher murder rate than when he started.

Audience for a Long COVID conference all wearing masks

This is what the audience for a Long COVID conference looked like today. Notice anything? 😷

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

He looks like he just realised how much trouble he is in and shat himself.

It's only 5 keyboards at the moment. One is clogged up with blueberries.

I don’t need graphs about what jolly good citizens migrants are to justify why they shouldn’t be attacked. They shouldn’t be attacked because racism is bad and racists are cunts

me & the boys misunderstood the arcane nature of the sword & the stone, and using a toyota and some chains to pull it from the stone resulted in the Toyota becoming the new king of england

These are concentration camps.

If you think there is a giant conspiracy against trans people, that's because there is.

Another day, another political party in the UK trying to achieve power by standing on the necks of the most vulnerable.

‘I’ve been spat on’: gender non-conforming women tell of toilet abuse in aftermath of supreme court ruling Support groups report that women and non-binary people are increasingly being challenged in toilets and changing facilities – but others call it scaremongering

When I said the various Rowlings and Linehans of Britain were assuming and hoping for the public to act as the unpaid enforcement arm of their crank movement, this is precisely what I meant.

This from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social hit me over the head like a mallet of truth. This is the thing. This is what I’ve been trying to warn people about perfectly crystallized. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/o...

You want to torture trans people, so you pay for a report to justify it. it's going to kill people and make their lives miserable, so you pay for a report absolving your guilt because the deaths weren't 'really related'.

And when people try to speak out, you write laws banning the Internet.

Great long piece on BBC news about the massive increase in the cost of cod and the impact on fish and chip shops.

No mention at all of Brexit which has significantly affected £££

For the millionth time: We import ten times as much cod as this country catches.

What did they think would happen?

Please, I beg you, STOP USING CHATGPT FOR YOUR COURT CASES.

Today I saw someone get themselves *held in contempt and arrested* because ChatGPT spit out sovcit bullshit *on a case they could have won.*

This reminds me of when a student told me he copies off of other kids to get good grades and I warned him that he should make sure that the people he copies from are smarter than him or he's just going to more trouble to get a worse result.

The basic problem with LLM drafting is this: the skills you need to do it correctly are exactly the same skills you need to do it without the LLM.

The only way the LLM actually saves any labor is if you skip the needed fact checking and proofreading.

This is a conspiracy to trick me into feeling sorry for the AI that has to listen to him whine.

The conservative assertion that there is a crisis of masculinity in America is best understood as a confession

Good job, idiots. Storing all your photos in the cloud has left no room for rain.

Digital pink triangles?

Democrats and centrist media keep laundering this panic into ‘reasonable concerns’ but the anti-trans movement is overwhelmingly comprised of bigoted loser freaks. We’re missing a huge opportunity to make this a winning issue by pointing that out.

Two sex pests and a toaster walk into a Nazi bar...

first man to get disowned by both his physical and digital children

They’re rewriting history.

Once again pointing out that this government won’t be able to pass a true ban on conversion therapy without acknowledging it is *current* NHS policy to do conversion therapy on trans kids. That’s what this is.

screenshot of a tweet from "Governor Needing Press Office", text saying: "DONALD TRUMP, THE LOWEST POLLING PRESIDENT IN RECENT HISTORY, THIS IS YOUR SECOND-TO-LAST WARNING!!! (THE NEXT ONE IS THE LAST ONE!). STAND DOWN NOW OR CALIFORNIA WILL COUNTER-STRIKE (LEGALLY!) TO DESTROY YOUR ILLEGAL CROOKED MAPS IN RED STATES. PRESS CONFERENCE COMING — HOSTED BY AMERICA’S FAVORITE GOVERNOR, GAVIN NEWSOM. FINAL WARNING NEXT. YOU WON’T LIKE IT!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER."

whatever historians say about these years of lead they can't say we didn't have a laugh or two

I am grateful that Elvis died with dignity on his toilet and never had to witness this.
