Fractal Space ! infinite horizons. Occasionally I'll fire up Mandelbulb3d and poke around with a few parameters. Absolutely no idea what I'm doing but the results do make for interesting scifi landscapes and backdrops. #Lightwave3d models by @gmd3d.bsky.social and Adam Burch

Former Erasmus student and Tory MP criticised for voting against scheme A Tory MP who previously participated in the Erasmus scheme as a student has been criticised for voting against protecting the UK's membership of the

You couldn't make it up: Suella Braverman, a former Erasmus student, voted against the UK joining the scheme.

So she can have the opportunity, but others can’t? How ironic...

Labour’s great green energy plan could be a legacy as vital as the NHS | Polly Toynbee Ed Miliband has a rare chance to do for the climate what Nye Bevan did for health: create something future generations will be proud of, says Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee

"Labour’s great green energy plan could be a legacy as vital as the NHS".

I agree. More power to Ed Miliband's elbow. Sod the haters in the rightwing press. They hate him because he's winning.

Note for the uninformed: Kathleen Stock is an outspoken, fanatical transphobe.

A better headline might have been "bully calls on bullying victim to put past bullying behind them (and bend over)".

Hey artists, if you see this, post a dog

Also, feels important to mention these days that this indie film was made by humans.

Keir Starmer is again saying that he is outraged that he wasn't told the vetting info about Peter Mandelson.

But all the information anyone needed about Mandelson – that he was close friends with Epstein – was public knowledge long before his appointment.

And Starmer knew.

Your regular reminder that Uniserve Ltd got over £1.4 billion in VIP lane COVID contracts without tender.

Their profits increased 500% overnight, and they didn't deliver almost £180m of contracted goods.

They just happened to share an address with Julia Lopez.

Are you really angry if you've planned ahead and scheduled it?

Robots have more rights in sports than trans people.

Stop the world, I’m getting off.

We used to have to get written permission if someone was going to appear in the background of something filmed. How are tech bros allowed to just consume every photo you've ever taken, analyse and name the people in it and use it for their own money making?

This is absurdly good news if true and it happens!

Ed Miliband to double down on net zero with measures to combat Iran energy shock As fossil fuel prices soar ‘the era of clean energy security must come of age’, energy secretary will say

There is no politician - and I mean none - who is better-placed than Ed Miliband to get us through this fossil fuel-driven energy crisis.

No-one in politics understands the energy system better. That’s why the billionaire fossil press hate him

Two blue city sized ships heading upawards above a a golden oloured planetary ring system.

More space rocks, this time in a blue space with two huge starships.

Space ! Super size me. I'm a huge fan of city sized ships be they Colony movers, Battleships, Arkships (and yes GSVs). Impractical ? Probably, but undeniably cool and great story devices. Some #Lightwave3d renders of Skynet3020 & Simon-3d's models found on Renderosity. #Scifi #ScifiArt

just a general truth
i grew up being told when i happy/excited about something i was being annoying or disrespectful of other people not having a great time (family, the world whatever)
and if i was upset that i had to suck it up/walk it off because others had it worse
so i keep it to myself

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN." Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

Star Trek USS Reliant adrift in space on fire, she is missing a nacelle.

Space! Wrecks and wreckage - when things go sideways (and they will). Every hulk drifting in the dark or at rest planetside has a story be it a bad decision, a desperate gamble or simply out of luck. #Lightwave3d #Scifi #ScifiArt Heavy usage of Rhys Salcombes Trans-U model here .

Because Starmer doesn't do things that are moral, he treats things like a legal case and does what he thinks he could legally argue his way out of.

Mandelson, Gaza, 2 child benefit cap etc, all legal, all immoral, all disastrous

I'm starting to think that 40 years of electing governments based on how little they think the state should do, might be the cause of how little the state can do.

Decided to try One Piece the live action version on Netflix... Narration begins and my brain says "Lovejoy?!?"

Don't feel bad otherwise i will too, today has been sofa day, brain in neutral 👍

Congratulations dude, hope it's a fun new journey!

This is a valid point: whenever you see this sort of high-pressure sales tactic turned on a technology, you can be CERTAIN that it's a fake—actually useful new tech sells itself!

And don't underestimate the effectiveness of FOMO as a tool in the hands of a con artist.
