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.

An autistic man has been left horrified after looking online for information about his special interest, only to find that the wiki’s editors are clearly nowhere near autistic enough to satisfy his need for detail, eyewitnesses have reported.

Still remarkable to me that half the world is doing 'unrestricted social media usage is bad for kids' and 'we need to put chatbots that tell you to kill your family in every classroom and every toy' at the same time

While you aren't here to help, I do find that the humour does help.
Certainly more help the knowledge that a clinician from the Autism Support Service will phone me tomorrow, but with no indication of what time tomorrow.

An article in the Times today by Kathleen Stock in which she claims, incorrectly, that ‘when the gay rights cause first got going, the ideal was toleration’.

To correct the record:
The gay rights movement I was a part of in the 1980s and 90s was not aiming for ‘toleration’.
Mere acceptance was not enough.
How would that help the isolated queer kid?
No. We wanted that child to know they would be loved and celebrated just as they were.

I wonder what they'll do when the school smartphone ban doesn't solve all the issues they're ascribing to social media

Remember, it's only AI if it comes from the Aïe region of France; otherwise, it's just sparkling plagiarism.

The average person doesn’t give a fuck if AI has some niche use where it actually excels if used properly. In fact, that is what a tool is *supposed* to do and none of us will have a problem if it is used like that. What we see is AI fucking up real life in a massive way.

I can’t really tell the story of my encounter with Andy Kershaw as the whole thing was a bit weird, but as it was unfolding he sent me this email 😬

A man wearing a white suit, white trilby, white shirt, white tie, white waistcoat, white socks and white shoes has just say next to me on the bus. I don't think he's a ghost, but I didn't ask.

I'm at the deli. I'm at the central intelligence agency. I'm at the combination deli & cental intelligence agency.

Mostly for the squeezebox players among you: please enjoy this picture of two giant melodeon larvae sparring for territory.

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

HUNGARY YOU DID IT

Hopefully there won't be any French snipers in the rigging taking pot shots at Sara.

The point of the university as a concept is that it's been here for a thousand years and meant to be here another thousand. Turning education over to producing what the market needed five years ago is never going to work well.

It's not just that Orbán losing inspires hope in other competitive-autocratic countries ruled by right-wing nationalist authoritarians. It's that his loss materially changes things in those other countries, because he's been operating as a headquarters and funding source...

Having attended The Damned's 50th Anniversary gig at Wembley last night I got to wondering which songs would be episode titles when @500songspodcast.bsky.social reaches Punk.
I think "Blitzkrieg Bop", "Anarchy In The UK", "New Rose" and "White Riot" have to be contenders.

Me being autistic isn't the problem.

Neurotypicals being uncomfortable with me being autistic is the problem.

Carefully replying to every post I come across with "I have no interest in or knowledge of this topic" to make sure I have had my say.

I'm sure a market exists, it's just a matter of finding a publisher prepared to take that risk.

I'm at Wembley Arena for The Damned 50th anniversary show. It honestly doesn't make me feel old that the time I saw them was one of their 10th Anniversary gigs.

Ben House, they replaced him with Rob Street.
Ben House...

I'm running out of ideas at this point.

What I like best about the Artemis II photos is that it was taken by actual humans. An actual person had to frame it and manually adjust settings. It's their own artistic rendition of what they thought looked best at the time, something no probe, rover or unmanned spacecraft can take. it's art
