I can't see him staying if the local elections end up being the bloodbath that's being predicted

Begs the question of why they're even asking about phones in schools in their OSA public consultation if they're just going to go ahead with it anyway

I think part of the problem is the films became too interdependent. I actually mostly enjoyed Captain Marvel, but at a certain point the baggage of all the plot points of the 20 or so movies that came before makes it hard to make your own plot stand out..
The Spider-man films are still good though

It’s such a crazy coincidence how the people in Hollywood advocating for use of AI are the ones who already have enough resources to exploit it for personal financial gain

Hans Zimmer is possibly my favourite composer of all time. I think it's important that we sep-

Nah. No. Fuck 'im.

Trans rights are human rights.

Growing up in the online world: a national consultation We are consulting on further measures to prepare children for the future in an age of rapid technological change. This includes potential age restrictions on social media and other services such as ga...

A quick heads up; The UK government is currently holding a consultation on the Online Safety Act. The consultation lasts until the end of next month.

Please fill it out if you live in the UK and/or share it around to get more eyes on it.

Yeah, ok, but are you telling me that the dotcom bubble was the same size and scale as the current bubble? I don't think the problem in the dotcom era was the internet itself, but the overextension in the sector. Whereas funding AI growth itself in this bubble is a real actual issue

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Good list, I'd personally add SMAC to it (Civ: Beyond Earth doesn't count)

A worm would probably be an improvement on most human bosses

Sorry but it is genuinely creepy that this (engaged,36yearold) guy spends his time getting angry that Gen Z women are "intolerant" for not wanting to date someone who supports a sexually abusive, racist misogynist who is destroying the fucking world and making it more expensive to live as we speak

I remember when police were called because there was a shortage of KFC. It's going to be fucking carnage

Might help if Labour repaired their trust with voters first

@umactually.dropout.tv the pronunciation of scone is actually also hotly contested in the UK. Parts of the UK (myself included) would concur with Ify's pronunciation, whereas others pronounce it "scone to rhyme with gone" as described in the episode

a screenshot of the "New Bestsellers" list from Substack, with Andrew Tate in the #1 position

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

Are we talking about Iran or the US here?

It's honestly wild how back to front it feels.

And the UK to still do with less religious encroachment onto the functioning of state (looking at you, Lords Spiritual) but it's still a way off from where the US is at these days

Russell Crowe’s Göring in Netflix’s #Nuremberg is genuinely impressive: vain, intelligent, manipulative, unrepentant. And the film gets the courtroom dynamic right: Jackson fumbling the cross-examination before Maxwell Fyfe stepped in to rescue the prosecution. So far, so good. 🧵

It's in Scotland and it's a converted church building, so I'm guessing even with double-glazing fitted it's still going to have an awful EPC

Shows how cursed my mind has been made by the internet that I knew immediately what you were referring to

For a "finance bro" you'd think he'd understand that people need to spend money too

"Time for the birth of terror. Me" has got me cackling

At _least_ a "pretty good", surely?

That doesn't sound fun at all. Hope you feel better soon!

The "special relationship" has always been a lie we've told ourselves to make us think we've retained any control.
That's only very rarely been the case

Alternate suggestion... if Amazon need the water so bad, go piss against the nearest Amazon datacentre.

(Not actual advice, you may get in trouble for that)

Amusingly their latest image posts do have alt text, so maybe your nudging worked. Weird way to respond to it though
