I do hope they remember to include exemptions for children with medical conditions where the phone is integral to their monitoring.

Doubling down on blasphemy, I see.

Why Do Humans Cry? An Evolutionary Biologist Explains Its True Purpose Research suggests that crying is not a sign of weakness, but one of the most sophisticated social technologies in the natural world.

An article on why humans cry, delving into the social and biological reasons. It's actually a very interesting piece and well worth your time.

I wish the guitar solo at the end of Warm Blood by Matchbox 20 went on for longer. Maybe about five minutes longer or thereabouts.

Well, I should be getting my shingles vaccine very soon. A silver lining for immunosuppression? 😅

A copy of the T. Kingfisher novel 'Wolf Worm' which features an eerie looking plant intertwined with the title.

Bought myself a little birthday treat: @tkingfisher.com's 'Wolf Worm'. Will let you all know how it goes!

Absolutely. Particularly with the mass firings over there yesterday. Capitalism really has reached the peak of cruelty.

Fair point. I looked a bit more closely at the sources, and they linked to a Forbes article that doesn't expressly state this fact. I do expect AI to be heavily leveraged given Disney's attitudes but I'll delete this post as it hasn't been confirmed yet.

My family know me too well 😂

Yes is winning on 58%

Mail is running a poll on whether the UK should rejoin the EU.

Takes seconds to vote and it's going hilariously well...

It's the classic Mel Gibson and Jesus meme where Mel is on set in normal clothes casually chatting to a very bloody Jesus (for those of you who don't know it).

Can't believe it's been a year since we had to say goodbye. I love you wee bubs, you still mean the world to me.

The president of the United States is suffering from delusions of grandeur and is showing clear signs of rapid mental deterioration and they will do nothing to stop him.

STILTLEGS!

Even his hair is trying to get away from his bullshit.

What's it celebrating? His triumph over truth, coherence or continence?

So pleased with how this #SpaceMarine2 screenshot turned out. #SpaceMarine #Warhammer40k #SaberInteractive

The Hungarian election is about Russian oligarchy and its support of the international far right. That’s why Vance is there. He is a node in that network.

Couldn't he have removed the inside of the biro and used it as a straw instead? Or was the yoghurt extra thick and stubborn? Such a mystery to unravel!

Alex and Renee were protesting peacefully. As was their right. It's a gross insult to their memory to blame them for their own murders.

Doing a basic calculation using a chatbot instead of a calculator uses between 2.5 million and 62 million times more energy. And using chatbots for calculations is *extremely common* - the companies have marketed these systems as general purpose, everything-apps!

Gaming isn’t just a hobby for some people.

It’s an escape when life is difficult.
A temporary distraction.
A way to connect with friends across the world.

Video games help more than some people think.

Wish more people could see that.

Gosh, it's so weird how Trump is throwing his weight (not literally, thank God) behind the guy who's a servile toad living up Putin's colon. I just can't figure it out.

I genuinely can't figure out what the organisers were thinking.
Or even whether they were thinking at all...

I'm trying to do a daily journal for a whole year but, unfortunately, many of my entries are "my chronic illness causes me pain", "I slept like crap last night!" and "this season of football is excruciating".
There are also some vitriolic rants about geopolitics and Cadbury's.

"I hear they don't do extraditions there!"

This has to become a Nutella advert.

This man is clearly ill and even more unfit for office than he was the first time around. We're watching him unravel in real time and nobody is doing a thing to do the logical (and sane) thing, and remove him from office.

damn aaron swartz tried to warn everybody about sam altman

Let's just take a moment to reflect on the fact that Farage and Badenoch vocally wanted us in this war alongside Trump from day one.
