Everyone is saying this! β€œAbsolute garbage, some of the worst television ever made, I have a full back tattoo of Detective Stabler.”

They’re not wrong.

Fall asleep to historic abductions of hispanic children being uncovered, wake up to the shocking reveal that Dean Cain manipulated his wife into starving to death somehow. Different episodes, or did I just miss Ice T explaining the link? No one can say.

I keep falling asleep with it on and waking up during the shock twist trial reveal part ten minutes before the end and I never know what episode it is but the twists are always so nonsensical that the show itself is still consistent to me

An extract from an article about Sean McGinty being dismissed from the bbc:  

The tribunal heard McGinty continued posting on X while he was signed off work, despite Rick asking him not to post anything inappropriate.
But in his witness statement, McGinty said his combination of ADHD and severe anxiety meant he "posted impulsively without thinking" and "could not stop posting even when asked".

A bbc headline: Sacked BBC journalist says X posts were due to ADHD.

This headline is accompanied by a picture of a bald white man who looks like the picture you’d get with an article on The Onion called like β€œyour maths teacher is doing fine after the divorce”

I say this with all the venom my ADHD-diagnosed little heart can muster: bro, shut up.

The funding gap between Reform UK and the Greens is astounding.

New Electoral Commission stats today reveal the reportable donations in Q4 2025:

🟒 Green Party: £189,010
🟣 Reform UK: £5,456,000

Greens are bringing in barely 3.5% of Reform UK's large donations - but still polling around 20%.

Happy World Book Day! My new book is a kindle deal this month if that's your vibe. It's a funny murder mystery with ghosts and pro-wrestling and an angry terrier. I think you'll like it, it may distract you from the horrors. www.amazon.co.uk/Grapples-Wra...

Apocryphal tale I was told is that a friend of a friend spirited a book out of the Bod by means of throwing it out of the window to an accomplice below. Reports that it was peed on by a drunken visitor to their room, and dried on the window ledge before being returned, remain unconfirmed.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

The Dungeon Experience on Steam The Dungeon Experience is a comedy first-person adventure about a low-level mudcrab chasing his dream of helping YOU experience the true bliss of Financial Freedom*

The Dungeon Experience! Comedy game that I actually laughed at wherein a crab is runs a non-OSHA compliant escape room. I don't fully know how to explain it. I fought cardboard goblins flying on drones with a spray bottle of water. And the crab did a sax solo. store.steampowered.com/app/994680/T...

Schrodinger's Cat Burglar! Puzzle platforming where you are one cat that can be two cats on account of quantum. It layers in a bunch of stuff that makes the puzzles way more complicated than I expected. Plus, you jump on desks and push everything off. store.steampowered.com/app/3493170/...

I see people argue that you can't criticise small indie games, and I always wonder: at what scale does it become OK, then? How many employees does the team need? How many games under their belt? How much money made? Do developers need to submit audited accounts before you can say it's only okay?

All Will Rise! I don't like deckbuilders, except when they're also a courtroom drama about suing billionaires for killing a river. I don't know how else to sell this game to you, if that doesn't get you going you're dead inside. store.steampowered.com/app/3165340/...
