@RobBfromDerby - The Strait of Hormuz is open and the sailors are having a wonderful time [a still from the movie Jaws, featuring the character Mayor Larry Vaughn. He is wearing his iconic anchor-patterned blazer and smiling while being interviewed on a crowded beach, despite the underlying danger]

Seems legit

This is horrific. I feel physically ill.

Same here. Apparently* I only get to be cool when I wasn't even looking.

*This is the only datapoint I have.

At this point the only reason to call it the Labour Party is it lasts too long, hurts like hell, and people keep popping in and out to check on your genitals.

Kemi Badenoch can't believe Keir Starmer would allow anyone with links to the Kremlin anywhere near government

*snort* This is the guy who added a bunch of us to the "anti-ai block list".

I'm proud to be blocked with all of you *wipes tear*

The Chrysler Building, on the Candlestick, with a triple word score. I think that gives me a reverse aardvark, and you have to miss a turn.

Mad fact... 42% of Labour Prime Ministers have had to fire Peter Mandelson.

Ai remix feature in privacy settings on TikTok turned on

I am so upset right now, TikTok quietly added a feature which turns on an AI feature on all the TikTok’s you have already posted to allow Ai to remix and make content of your TikTok’s and I didn’t know, you must go to privacy settings on your TikToks to turn it off yourself, want to warn others 💔

This is just horrific. The gender critical movement along with the British press bullied her out of her job at the NHS and now they doxed her after she fled the country and are continuing the harassment and defamation. These people are absolute monsters.

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

Once again. These people do not want freedom of speech, they want the freedom to monolog without criticism.

They're going to end the freedom of speech of students to protest bigoted speakers they disagree with.

I feel like the next 24 hours in parliament are going to be really trying for those of us who dislike the passive voice

Photo shows a heap of older style phones with the text “Planned obsolescence is now outlawed in France. It is a crime to intentionally reduce the lifespan of a product to force customers to replace it.”

Love France 🇫🇷 They understand the importance of the battery life of a Nokia 3310

why appeasement doesn't work:

having, it seems, got the anti-trans policies they wanted, the next thing is to force anyone pro-trans rights from public life

It’s not that these people still exist. That’s just biology. It’s that they are still being paid to shit in their own hands & start clapping.

“Buy our home security package named after someone who was utterly destroyed by a back door break-in he didn’t see coming because he was focused solely on the front door.”

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

I think we truly don’t appreciate how much the internet has influenced and given rise to the idea that *everything* is debatable and the ultimate arbiter of truth is determined by who is willing to talk the longest.

Happy 80th Tim

Joanne closed her helpline for single parents right around when she announced she'd be donating heavily to anti-trans causes. They closed because of lack of funding.

She's a billionaire.

She doesn't care about "single mums".

I certainly need some "Please make everything stop and go away" tea

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Concern grows for Suella Braverman as she completely forgets she spent nine years as part of the Conservative government, including two periods as Home Secretary, responsible for immigration.

Lol

Giving him what he wants.

All right, I’ll say it: I wish I could hear what Dad would say about this.
