there are a lot of dubious threads with attention grabbing conclusions re: the friendly fire incident with the F-15s...

this is not that, and is a great read

the "humorous" signs are also not even remotely funny.

Imagine if municipalities across the world treated migrants as a source of labour to improve the neighborhood they moved into rather than a burden on it? Imagine if you could move somewhere to help build it? You know - like you used to be able to do?

A sad thread about literacy.

On a related note, this is why I tear down "humorous" safety signs whenever I see them at work. Because no safety sign is supposed to be a joke and clarity on them is the goal. Jokes function on ambiguity and you don't want that in association with the word DANGER.

Storm windblow is 'four times NRW's annual harvesting' volume More than 650 hectares of forest were damaged by the storm’s 90 mph winds.

Storms taking out hundreds of hectares of monoculture conifers with rubbish roots and increased window risk due to clear felling whole compartments nearby is exactly the case to make for switching to Continuous Cover Forestry.

I disagreed a lot with how neoliberal reforms altered the constitution of the British university, but on its own terms it was working. It was a successful, economically significant export market. The government basically decided to fuck it over due to racism and boneheaded tabloid brain.

"use the app!"

no

"we've locked out features of our mobile site so you have to use the app"

sir I will pirate the user agent string of your app that is actually just a browser with extra spyware and lie to your mobile website until it unfucks itself

"thank you for using the app"

fuck you

Incidentally I was saying this back in 2019. Seven years ago.

Anyone want to guess what the average construction time of certain types of power plant is?

Everything else follows from there. If you do not believe in human dignity, you end up with their disgusting immigration policies and rhetoric that make British citizens second class and repulse decent minded voters.

Throwing trans people under the bus is the most telling policy of the Starmer government. Their instincts are bad and they should be completely replaced with people who believe in human dignity.

nothing like finding an old Barratt TV ad from 1976 advertising a new-build rowhouse for a mortgage of Β£14.00 a week.

that's Β£60.67 per month.

adjusted for inflation in 2026, it's a house. for a Β£412pcm mortgage. a house.

A HOUSE.

A BLOODY HOUSE.

I rent a miserable shoebox flat and pay double.

The most talented team making stuff on YT. Rebranding because the algorithm isn't fond of queer stuff. I hope the new name is punished a little less. Please sub and check out the videos, they're a treasure trove of cinema love.

Yesterday I scored my first competitive goal for my football club, won a trophy, and was presented with a winners medal at the Nottingham Forest ground

Turns out trans people are alright at this football thing, who knew?
