I can now enjoy a Mediterranean diet while I watch those wall-to-wall gambling adverts.

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance

Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn

Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

If people admire you, they put your name on buildings. If you have to do it yourself, well… that’s different.

Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.

Jingle Bells (Batman Smells): an incomplete festive folk-rhyme taxonomy Gather round the fire, everyone, and let me tell you a story. It has everything you could want in a Christmas blockbuster: superheroes and villains, a car crash, children singing, a mystery to solv…

For your collective delectation this holiday season:
Quite possibly the silliest thing I've ever written (and definitely the most ridiculous graph I've ever made!)

imagine if people went to retailers and just took stuff and called it "generative shopping" and then, when the retailers said that's illegal, people said "regular shopping is too expensive so we have disrupted it" and then the retailers were like "OH! Carry on, innovators!"

The image is of a comic.
Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?"
Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy."
Santa responds "Very nice!"
Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?"
Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.

This reminds me of my favourite little factoid about hedgehogs. They used to be called 'urchins' in English, so a sea urchin was a sea hedgehog. In Welsh, a hedgehog is a draenog, and a sea urchin is draenog mΓ΄r... a sea hedgehog.

You weren’t β€œdifficult to love.”
You were never loved according to your needs.

You weren’t β€œtoo intense.”
You were unfiltered without guidance.

You weren’t β€œhard work.”
You were human.

They didn’t know your language.
So they called you the problem.

Fuck that.

Diagnosed but not believed: Autistic women and the medical gaze A GP I met for the first time three minutes ago is glancing over my electronic health record, trying to match it with the woman before him…

I wrote about systemic medical bias, chocolate medals and Eamonn Holmes

Humans are about 10 million times larger than viruses, yet they kill us regularly.

We can’t see them. We can’t outrun them. We can’t destroy them with our guns.

And yet we continue to disrespect them.

Vaccinate.

The reason that magnolia flowers are more rigid and less soft compared to other flowers is because magnolia trees belong to one of the earliest lineages of flowering plants, and predate bees. They evolved to be pollinated by beetles, and still are

the muppets are enduring cast of characters because each of them represents the duality of man

kermit is nervous but charming
fozzie is confident but untalented
gonzo is deranged but dignified
miss piggie is rude but elegant
sam eagle is socially liberal but fiscally conservative

β€œIf you can have a social life you can work”…

Oh ffs, yeah because meeting someone for an hour or two every so often is EXACTLY the same…

Also, in a decent society, social life should come before work, not after, in priority.

Ableist pieces of shit.

Oh I recognize this trope, this is the one where a dumbfuck executive tries to monetize other people's volunteer labor, while vastly overestimating what people would be willing to pay for it (nothing), driving the company they bought off a cliff! It's a sub variant of enshitification. Classic!

Is vibe coding dying? Amateurs might not be replacing teams of coders, after all

Whether you’re an AI skeptic, an AI evangelist, or just someone who wants to know what’s happening on the cutting edge of tech, you should be reading @garymarcus.bsky.social.

Vibe coding? It’s dying. I am shocked. SHOCKED, I tell you.

Autistic meltdowns aren’t β€œloss of control”.

They’re the body’s last attempt to communicate that something has gone wrong.

They’re not moral events - they’re information.

The Majority AI View - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

Okay, for the folks who asked: here's the majority AI view, writing up the reasonable, thoughtful view on AI that the vast majority of people in tech hold, that gets overshadowed by the bluster and hype of the tycoons trying to shill their nonsense. anildash.com/2025/10/17/t... Please share!

After the standards underpinning the World Wide Web were created in the early 90s, we decided the best way to fund the web’s development was through ads and not as a public resource like roads or libraries.

Every day I think about how different things would be if we’d gone the other way.
