Seeing how shite the elites are at writing emails you start to see why they think gen ai is magic and the bees knees

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.

A screenshot from Star Trek: The Next Generation depicts a corridor aboard the Enterprise. At the far end we can see the closed doors of the turbo lift. Part way down the corridor, on the right hand side, there is an open door through which we can just make out some hay bales. A chicken has emerged and is standing in the middle of the corridor. Another form is also emerging from the open door, that of Gonzo from the Muppets.

The Times, 30th January 2026: "All 2.4m of Britain’s creative workers are at risk — and we know why. A new report into the impact of AI on the creative sector makes for apocalyptic reading. The government must act now." Source: https://archive.is/hvRv2

"The UK creative industries — which contributed £125 billion to the economy in 2024 and supported 2.4 million jobs — are being destroyed by an AI sector that, whatever its long-term potential, contributed just £11 billion in the same year and supported only 85,000 jobs."

After thinking about it for a while, I've pulled the trigger and ordered the Kings of War 4th Edition starter box. #kingsofwar #manticgames #nerdlings #wargaming

Is it still possible to do an army of mostly terminators in the latest edition of Horus Heresy? #horusheresy #30k #warhammercommunity #nerdlings #warhammer #ageofdarkness

I am really tired of 'dark' being a thing. Grimdark, Dark Academia, Whimdark, the list goes on.

We live in a bleak world.

It's time to walk back into the light.

Make BRIGHT things, not DARK things.

A little armored one / turtle rabbit in the wild

The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

What's something you've never tried in the bedroom but really want to? Me: sleeping a full 8 hours and waking up actually refreshed with a will to live.

A fun thing about pushing 40 is that I've lived long enough to see multiple things I love be declared ruined by a new instalment, only to have that new thing become much beloved by the fandom as the years pass.

Almost as if their complaints were mostly just silly nonsense.

Newcastle parks cafe staff 'shellshocked' by sudden double closure Council-run cafes in both Exhibition Park and Paddy Freeman's Park are to be closed down, with bosses saying they are no longer financially viable

We keep banging on about council funding because the end result is this very real, very depressing fraying of the social fabric. Newcastle needs to save £200k so the park cafes close, the staff is let go, and another community anchor goes. To save pennies.

Thanks. I have been thinking it would be nice to try a more skirmish style game and the warcrow models are very cool looking. Might try some out after pay day.

Are they roughly the same scale as GW models?

Looks great. How are the Warcrow minis to build and paint?

There's a tiny bit of gold trim left to paint, and this miniature is done. When I'm done basing I can order my next miniature! See the thread for details.

The Legislation Upon winning a general election, a Reform government under Prime Minister Nigel Farage will: 1) Leave the ECHR 2.) Repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. 3.) Pass The Illegal Migration (Mass Deportation) Bill: This Bill will: Create a legal duty to remove illegal migrants for the Home Secretary The Bill opens with a blunt obligation for the Home Secretary: "The Secretary of State shall ensure the removal from the United Kingdom of each person who does not have extant leave to remain and is not an Irish citizen or otherwise protected by regulations made under this Act." The following parts of the legislation are introduced on an emergency basis, with an in-built sunset clause after 5 years: Disapply the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UN Convention Against Torture, the Council of Europe Anti-Trafficking Convention (ECAT) Derogation is justified under the Vienna Convention doctrine of state of necessity: Britain faces a national emergency in which uncontrolled illegal migration undermines public order. These treaties will otherwise be used by activist judges to frustrate deportations, even after the repeals of the HRA and ECHR. Create Detention Power Without Hardial Singh Constraints This means illegal migrants can be detained until they are deported. Activist lawyers routinely use Hardial Singh to secure their client's bail, after which the client absconds. If you came to the UK illegally, you are ineligible for asylum. End of story All asylum claims will become inadmissible if made by a person within the Act's scope. If you came to the country illegally, you are ineligible for asylum in the UK. This strips the Home Office, the immigration tribunals and the higher courts of jurisdiction to even consider claims. A claim that cannot be considered cannot suspend removal and therefore, cannot delay a flight. Re-entering after deportation and destroying ID becomes a serious criminal offence Re-entry after deportation will be…

The Operational Plan We will create an enforcement unit called UK Deportation Command, including an Illegal Migrant Identification Centre - harnessing cutting edge data fusion A Reform government will create a cutting edge enforcement data centre to relentlessly identify and detain all illegal migrants in the UK. Using powers granted by the new legislation, it will automatically share data between the Home Office, NHS, HMRC, DVLA, banks and the police. It will power bulk warrants, including mandatory biometric capture during any police encounter. Each power addresses a failure mode observed over the past decade - for example, banks and GP surgeries unaware of a customer's status, or overstayers slipping through because a warrant covered only a single property. Secure Immigration Removal Centres (SIRC) will be built rapidly to detain up to 24,000 Detention capacity for up to 24,000 will be created within 18 months. The Home Office will build Secure Immigration Removal Centres. This will be modular accommodation built in remote parts of the country. Conditions are basic but not punitive: prefabricated two-person rooms, canteen catering, on-site medical suites. Robust perimeters and internal movement controls prevent escapes. This enables detention-on-arrest: no more bail. This capacity would allow for up to 24,000 illegal migrants to be deported per month. Initial Voluntary Return Window A six-month Assisted Voluntary Return window precedes large-scale raids. Illegal migrants will be offered a financial incentive to self-deport. An app will be launched to facilitate this. The Deportation Flights The Home Office will scale up charters to 5 flights per day. To guard against last-minute aircraft unserviceability, the RAF will keep one Voyager aircraft on six-hour 'hot-spare' readiness. If a commercial charter breaks down, detainees can still be flown out that night, preserving operational integrity. The legal reset will mean activist lawyers will no longer be able preven…

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions.

It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Age 9: Flinging myself off the swings at high speed onto a concrete floor, bouncing up instantly and laughing, before bounding away like a gazelle.

The 12th Doctor's parting speech "Never be Cruel, never be cowardly. Remember... Hate is always foolish, and love is always wise. Always try to be nice, but never fail to be kind. Laugh Hard. Run fast. Be kind."

I try to remember one of my favourite speeches by the Doctor when I'm trying to do the right thing.

I used to believe that all humans are inherently good.

I don't believe that anymore. I believe all humans have the capacity for extreme darkness and evil.

That means that when, confronted with everything the way it is, they choose to do good -

That means a hell of a fucking lot.
