It turns out that 'renewables will never do the job so let's not invest in them' wasn't a self-fulfilling prophecy. But i think it's a fair assumption that it held this point back about a decade..?
“Yeah it really hurt” is better stoicism than “no it didn’t hurt”
Australia being in eurovision is the good kind of stupid imho.
Is starmer waiting until after the local elections to resign, just gonna up save all that shame and resentment.
I was even umming and ahhing about maybe voting local labour until i found out they just arbitrarily deselcted loads of great councillors www.birminghamdispatch.co.uk/inside-the-d...
Electronic media (tv, films &c) are linear and have to work so hard to make up for the fact that you can move forward and backward through written media at will.
I reckon.
This simple stuff is instead being presented to the public as complex and mysterious because nobody wants to admit they knew all along that Peter and Morgan were up to some extremely shady, possibly illegal shit. Because that would prompt questions about how they knew that, and when they knew it.
What's a poet's favourite part of electrolysis?
An ode.
Yeah, problem is when you have shit like the witches, the antisemitism is hard to separate from the work itself.
Think about this literally every time i see a crate or barrel in literally any media or just real life.
This is so, so well-articulated.
Of course, the loudest of Jesus' followers were his decibels
Lots of good points in @brenttoderian.bsky.social's thread, but I want to pull out this one to say something about a particularly awful case of process-as-tactic from Birmingham, UK, where I live.
And that is the case of #MayarYahiaSquare.
Farage's reaction ("brushed-under-the-carpet") shows why we shouldn't debate these people. They're not interested in truth, merely in creating suspicion & division. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
there’s never been a better time to get into novels
p1: Autumn is sitting on a stool, addressing the audience. Autumn: Until today, the topic of AI in the workplace has gone undiscussed in this here comic strip. Given its nature, it feels like a substantial omission. Frankly, the degree to which we think it’s suck-ass makes it difficult to voice a more meaningful critique beyond “doesn’t this suck ass?” Still, we must satisfy the pedantic dweeb in our hearts. To that end, the cast of Nothing Doing now presents to you “Basically Every Comic We Would Make About AI” p2: Harvey is reading papers at a table. Harvey: Ok, next item on the agenda. In the interest of providing the most cutting-edge service for our customers, we have secured each of you a license to use the suicide engine. p3: Across from Harvey, the King of Sales sits tiredly while Autumn concernedly raises a hand. H: On each of your desks is a hammer, and- what’s up, Autumn? A: I don’t want to use the suicide engine p4: Harvey rolls his eyes at an unconvinced Autumn. H: Autumn, it’s impossible for a company to stay competitive and relevant in today’s market without embracing suicide. If you don’t start killing yourselves now, we’re going to get left behind
Nothing Doing no. 62
And she does have a trilogy about a magic school for wizards too, into which she sneaks in massive amounts of class consciousness.
the president is doing market manipulation, has been doing market manipulation, will be doing market manipulation, and his family and friends are laughing all the way to the bank
Joe Dante and Hideo Kojima are close seconds but no director was more right about the future of war than Barry Levinson with the 1992 box office flop Toys.
I hope we're all enjoying the experience of living in the first 15 minutes of a 1980s docudrama the BBC is only allowed to air once.
derek's right and good, but also consider: i use my RSS reader every day. i (obviously) post on a 30 year old vbulletin forum. i keep a gmail tab open all day. i'm still on soulseek ffs
you can still live in the old ways. you will miss out on insta and fb, but i promise you, you will not miss them.
Ooh, a perfourma in the wild!
People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos
Update: We have three new confirmed cast members (Steve Purcell, Collette Michaud, Brad Taylor) but we need to see way more interest in the project (ideally in the form of mailing list signups) if the documentary is to actually get made. Details: www.scummdoc.com/p/passport-t...
I cannot sing Skin Deep's praises enough. If you like ImSims because they're about solving problems in clever ways and/or generating funny stories, it's basically mandatory. Deeply hilarious game that is always a joy to play.
Sitting on a bus listening to System of a Down and reading about the war in the Middle East, because ultimately nothing has changed since 2002
Had a friend at uni who had been brought up without tv. Made me realise how completely inane all our cultural refences were. Plus, he was a completely sick musician so i did feel he'd got the better deal. Grass greener kind of scenario p'haps.
see?
here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared
Skinner meme: am i out of touch?
Hmm, It's wrong to even ask that question.
