The real threat to democracy doesn't come from 'family voting'. It comes from the losing side refusing go accept they've lost

Lord Haw-Haw, Hermann Göring, Steven Bannon, Donald Trump, Nigel Farage can you hear me? Nigel Farage your boy took a helluvah beating!

Official Team GB Paralympic photo, with the the crests and everything, and a professional headshot, but it's for "Pickle, A Very Good Girl", who is a black labrador, with a hi-viz harness and a red collar.

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

“Where’s (Giles) Peterson?”
“He’s dead, Dave.”

Accidentally dialled in it for a pufferfish.

It used to do it to my mum's hearing aid and she would make people think she was in the X-Men or something.

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.

Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

News just in that Melania has been nominated for a FIFA Oscar.

I was just looking at my feed and it was all bleak but the birds are coming to the window and that is good so I thought I'd try and dilute the misery a bit!

We have had Long Tailed Tits, Blue Tits, Great Tits and the Woodpecker has returned to the window feeder. Happy days.

I learned of the Russian: Чья бы корова мычала, а твоя бы молчала
Which I think means: "If someone else's cow is mooing, yours should be silent."
More of a 'keep your own house in order/people in glass houses' sort of thing I think though.

That’s a return on investment of 2.73%

If anyone was thinking of investing in AI, I can give you a similar ROI, whilst being more ethical. For every £100 you give me, I will guarantee I’ll give you £3 this time next year. THIS IS NOT A BUBBLE.

I’m pissed that we’re all going to have a shitty 10-15 years economically because a dozen techboys believed that it was possible to write code to the point that the program could write better code and eventually either kill us all or make us immortal, and so they spent $1.5tn for $41bn in revenue
