I am a pretty non-violent guy but if someone ever recommended or encouraged this stuff to my toddler I think I'd be within my rights to break a bone or two.

Finished The Pitt S2. Another tremendous season of TV. Discourse around The Pitt, however, is dreadful. Stay off the internet, folks, just enjoy your TV show.

This is a very beautiful thread about a midlife crisis, choices, and how there can be moments of true beauty and human contact in even the tacky and the cheesy. And I don’t blame Andrew for turning off the comments because people are going to have Musical Opinions that aren’t germane.

Media treats left wing views as inherently childish, right wing/conservativism as the mature, common sense approach. 18 year old Reform kid wise beyond years, 30-something lefty a child who didn't grow up.

Phones to be banned in schools by law in England under government plans Education minister Jacqui Smith said the move would create

Not for nothing but if this happens in Scotland I'll just be advising and helping my son to hide his phone somehow. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very funny to look at Bluesky in work to see a variety of posts saying "Oh he's COOKED" and knowing who it's about right away.

"If you knew how you are loved, not one of you would raise a hand in rage again."

I really like Al-Hashimi but her AI advocacy reeeeally jarred with me right away (and was proved to be risky).

Really hope she sticks around and her and Robby get to partner up when they're in better mental places, especially Robby. I think they'd be very good for one another as colleagues.

Superman and the Wes Anderson Fantastic Mr Fox. One makes me feel better about literally everything and one makes me laugh.

Don't try and meet these people half way. You're standing in the right place, they're the ones that need to move, to paraphrase JM Straczynski.

Anyway, Rowling is a poisonous person and doesn't deserve an ounce of the grace and latitude she's given.

You weren't supposed to know 😭

I knew this guy once, maybe the best and weirdest guy I ever met? Would do anything for anyone, especially when it was hard. Ran himself into the ground, over and over. But he got up and back to it every time. Weirder still, he always seems happy. Toughest person I know. Anyway, happy #supermanday

A quote from Kevin McKenna about how the SNP and greens employ fascist style mind control techniques. No, I don't know either.

McKenna having a totally normal one I see

Annoyingly good

Good new music day for me. Drop Dead from Olivia Rodrigo is great fun. Dirty Wedding Dress from Bleachers is like early Springsteen.

Starmer: Elevates deeply controversial man with ties to global paedophile ring to high office.

Also Starmer: I am the victim here. I will never forgive.

What's the plan here? Maximum unit pricing for essentials? And what qualifies as an essential? Who's subsidising it? WTF guys.

The things we do to avoid a UBI.

Best of luck my friend.

A few Scottish Labour canvassers knocked my door a few weeks ago. I waved them off without saying anything, because I think they were maaaaybe 18? If it happens again I'll need to tell them exactly why they shouldn't ever darken my door.

Please, he prefers Popezilla.

• Delivering single-sex spaces on the basis of biological sex, in NHS wards, schools, sport and everyday life by upholding the Equality Act and delivering clear instructions to public services on how to comply with their legal obligations to women and to trans people. • Keeping women's prisons for women, instructing the Scottish Prison Service to remove all biologically male prisoners from women's prisons within days of the election. • Recommit the NHS to delivering single sex wards on the basis of biological sex, and ensuring patients can request same sex provision wherever possible.

Scottish Labour manifesto is out, don’t vote for them

I will always defend her later track Do Wa Do as well. Justice for Nash.

also got Devin Grayson's Titans at the same time. Not a bad book at all.

My brothers collected the UK anthology comics of Essential X-Men and Spider-Man, so I was reading regularly from primary school. But with my own money it was Morrison's Justice League. Got trades for Christmas to catch up, then gave money to my brothers to pick them up for me every month.

Can't believe the Pope is getting the "If Batman really wanted to help society he'd donate to charities" argument but in reverse. Sensational.

he had the decency to at least "make great art" about how terrible he was!

Always good to remember that he is actually fully insane.

Look, they're probably right in whatever this article says, but I have trouble reading Laurie, especially on these issues, since they liked Neil Gaiman's comeback post on Instagram.

Look, LinkedIn is objectively bad, but watching a company get absolutely dragged in the comments of their post celebrating not needing humans because of their new AI software is good for the soul.
