I know some disagree but someone like Stephen Fry changing his mind and doing a complete 180 after supporting She Who Must Not Be Named, is a good thing and is evidence that attitudes are changing.
Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:
I'm deadly serious with this. A huge reason we're in the mess we're in is because the media treats evidenced policy like housing the homeless and decriminalising drugs as absurd, outrageous nonsense, and "you can't even say blackboard any more because of woke" as serious and meaningful.
Palantir has no place in our NHS.
The Labour government must get this Mandelson and Trump backed company out now.
Listen to what health workers are saying.

An incoming Reform government would "focus on making change via executive orders rather than legislation, where possible"

World rugby: Okay. So you can win this entire tournament
Ireland: Okay, great!
World rugby: as long as England win their game.
Ireland:...
World Rugby: So obviously you would want England to-
Ireland: -Shush I'm thinking.
Know anyone who can draw like Eddie Campbell (FROM HELL)? If you can, I have a well-paying #illustration job for you.

A great thing about having a teenager is that when you're stuck on a boss fight in a game and you're not enjoying it anymore, you can just summon them and they will appear and do it for you. You get to carry on and they get to mock you for being old and crap, it's a win/win.
I was wondering how long after “the death of the paperback” was announced that we would see someone trying to reinvent the concept of pocket-sized books. Took about 5 minutes. #LivingBookHistory
The horrors of life in a 15 min city after LTNs introduced: a new independent bookshop that the neighbourhood kids cycle and walk to on a Saturday morning.
I love East Oxford.
The more I watch this the more I think - this has to be after advice from a lawyer, rather than him not knowing, right?
It takes skill to be this dumb.
I find this fascinating, he completely believes that he understands something he doesn't know because he can go and read it in a document.
How do these people get like this? What education system is to blame and how do we burn it down to stop anyone like this happening again?

This is one of those sentences that starts great and gets more awesome with every word
The latest White House thinking on the Strait of Hormuz.
Well then welcome to the Streisand effect
Imagine being such a chuddite imbecile that you manage to commit a war crime on national TV through your habit of talking entirely in stock phrases.
My local council plans to close our outdoor pool (after a decade of outsourced neglect) so if anyone on here has contacts who’ve fought that and won, preferably without making the pool pricey and inaccessible…. i would *love* to hear from you (my email is in bio).
The FWS Scot judgement has permanently eroded my trust of the judiciary. The fact that a minority could lose their human rights without even getting to represent themselves is obscene.
Cute Felt. Might delete later.
If Feast of Steven is canon, so is this. Nothing disputes or contradicts it. Make it a bonus feature on a future DVD release you cowards!
Rob Hutton’s evisceration of DCMS was the funniest and angriest thing I’ve read in response to what has happened to UK broadcast media

Inside the Department of War are two wolves:
"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."
"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"
Another example is the AI policy over copyright- it caused so much bad blood among Labour supporting voters and donors and all happened because DSIT was pushing it, no.10 didn’t care and Lisa Nandy was writing about cancel culture in theatres
ME: To find a box of all the missing Doctor Who episodes in a junk shop.
GENIE: You sure? Most people go for immortality or world peace.
ME: Isn’t that just what I said?
This is the destination of every company that tries to replace creative human workers with AI slop.

This is the best product review I’ve read: samhenri.gold/blog/2026031...
It doesn’t matter if you’re interested in the MacBook Neo or not; this is the kind of essay that makes you think about the potential of technology and the joys of exploration.
